Long-necked Seed Bug

Long-necked Seed Bug

Why hello, I'm Long-necked Seed Bug. You might know me from such things as having a long neck and liking seeds. I'm famously described as "dirt-coloured" too. Sorry, am I bragging? I'm just proud. If you feel like sucking the juice out of some seeds, say hi

On this same vibe of "pausing and cancelling things" because paying for access is starting to get pricey.

We have the same store here in Brisbane that have a copy of Dragon Quest V on DS for $249 so nothing surprises me anymore.

a golden retriever puppy sits on a gray ottoman in profile, casting the most ruthless side eye directly at you. the dog’s wearing an impeccable blue rain jacket with a hood, patterned all over with bright yellow rubber duckies. he’d like to remind you that no rain is necessary to have nice drip.

This is Bowie. He overheard you talking about his rubber ducky jacket. Jealousy is a disease. Hopes you get well soon. 12/10 (IG: bowiethegoldenbear)

You have nothing to prove, win or lose. You guys did amazing work and you earned the right to show how proud you are of it.

Esper I need you to discover the deep ridiculous lore of Nintendo Magazine System in Australia. It was a wild time in the early 90s.

My memory of Zing Indooroopilly was the one employee who, every time I said goodbye, always said "stay safe".

It was a little quirk, but there was a lot of heart in that store. They were never pushy, always kind. Bless those peeps and wish them well. πŸ™Œβœ¨πŸ’œ

It made my heart so sore when I realised this too.

(But not as sore as Angie's heart when it was demolished. Twice. JFC Nintendo.)

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.
