A fluffy brown cat washing his front paw

We have a toothless old man cat and he's doing great! He's much more comfortable (he had a lot of tooth decay) and he still eats everything he did before, including dry biscuits and treats.

Suggestion noted!

If you would like some advice: don't paint all the way down to the cuticle, leave a tiny gap. It stops the polish pooling/ spreading up the skin and looks a lot neater

You can get it off Amazon, I got a pack of 3 cans so I could make it when I got the urge!

A room full of Rare staff all wave enthusiastically at the camera as ex-boss Craig Duncan stands awkwardly at the very centre. BYE CRAIG (sort of)!

Today we're celebrating Craig Duncan' tenure at Rare Ltd; after 13 years and 10 months, our head honcho recently started a new role as Head of Xbox Game Studios! We'll still see plenty of him, but he'll miss out on daily cake. Thanks for everything, Craig, from all of us. You rock!

My husband has one, it's lasted really well and still looks great!

The audacity to have the tagline "Real Magic" as well

Encountering a lot of people's embroidery which I'm enjoying, so putting mine out there! This was a wedding present for friends, took me a good few months

Have a cat picture. Highly recommend the IKEA cat pods - something intended for cats that cats will actually use!

That is a big one to start with! Are you marking the stitches out? I'd also recommend converting it into a pattern, it's easier to count than straight up pixels. Looking great though!

Wait there are Flamecraft plushies?! These are immediately going on my Christmas list

Ooh interesting, might have to give that a try. I do love that Okarun is the same voice actor as Tanjiro from Demon Slayer in Japanese!

My husband opened one this morning (3 star Charizard!!) and I was blown away by how cool it is

Also some merch! Let me buy a Ratchet and Clank figurine!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Rare internships are live again at aka.ms/RareInternships . If you are a student or recent graduate looking for a way to get real games experience then a year with the Rare team is impossible to beat. I can't wait to see the portfolios start coming in :)
