So far, the most important part of the DragonBall Z: Kakarot story. Yamcha gets his shit blown up by a horrible little green alien bastard. With the final episode of #DBDaima airing today, it just feels right to remind people how far we've come.

Slightly happier news now, and just look what I managed to find trawling the cheapo shops in Blackpool this afternoon while it's been pissing with rain!

A little thing I find especially comical in Warhammer Space Marine 2: the barbed "foliage" left behind in the explosion of Tyranid spore-mines, barbed strangler shots etc. looks just like plastic twist-ties painted green. Just like they would be on player's tabletops. #SpaceMarine

Not a bad little haul of treats and goodies to reward myself for another birthday. The "Sonic Ocean Water" drink mix will be of particular interest to @cheapshow.bsky.social, being a kind of blue coconut-flavoured syrup added to cups of Sprite* at the very regionally-scattered Sonic Drive-In.

Delightful snackings from Herr's of Nottingham, PA. A strong huff of the jalapenus on first opening, excellently porous texture and delicate cheese flavour to calm some of that spicy edge. A worthy snack indeed! #SnaxStarz

Me and my Clompy Space Boys have totally fucked a demon bird-man from the Whirly Space Thingy, to make the galaxy safe for techno-feudal Emperor worship. Well, not safe, they're all still gonna get murdered by something. #WarHammer40K #SpaceMarine2

@cheapshow.bsky.social Urgent #SAUCEREPORT DOO DOOT DOO DO DOO DOO DOOT DOO DOO It's Dutch, and it's a rather sweet and thick garlicky soy-based condiment. Found in Essentials cheapo shop in Blackpool this afternoon.

Little bit of culinary experimentation tonight. Heated up a bowl o' these Bush beans with onion, little bits of bacon. Added extra zip in the form of spoonfuls of vinegar right out of the pickle jar. Mmm-mm, good! That's right, pickle juice and mustard-seed in your beans.

if i were the richest person i can sure tell you i wouldn’t spend my time trying to buy the favor of bootlickers or the internet’s grossest nerds, i would spend my wealth bringing back discontinued junk foods and candies people would love you more if you brought back Pizzarias instead of fascism

Getting all set up for some glorious Gothic melodrama fun back in 1897, and the purchase of a whole season of Dark Shadows where all of the show's greatest elements come together. There's Quentin! Angelique! The sinister Hand of Count Petofi! Gypsy curses! #DarkShadows

www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/v-... I'm sure @franticplanet.bsky.social @curiousbritishtelly.co.uk et al are already possibly thinking the same thing as me. Instead of Michael Ironside as the gruff, uncompromising Ham Tyler, V UK is going to have to settle for...

@cheapshow.bsky.social Fancy scoffables from the untamed wilderness of the fabled Canadas to the north of what can still charitably be described as "America". The Cherry Blossom is a soon-to-be extinct chocolate treat and this may in fact be one of the very last ones!

youtu.be/KuzMhxRbMl8?... So in case it wasn't already immediately apparent, today was the day I learned that there are no such things as copyright laws in Italy. There's another song in this movie that's a total rip of "Twilight" by ELO. All in all, an entertainingly stupid horror movie.

Very special little order of snacks and goodies here, including my potentially last chance to get hold of a Hershey Cherry Blossom 🇨🇦 because they've stopped making them.

These little sweets in their handsome tin purport to be the second coming of Gen-X favourites "Altoids Sours", greeting you with an intense aroma of pure orangey tangerine goodness. @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social @cheapshow.bsky.social Totally excellent sweets!

Oh lord, I'm absolutely back on my favourite flavour of complete bullshit here: youtu.be/_LztKGIS_aA?... @phelous.bsky.social @allisonpregler.bsky.social This is dedicated to you, one of six eps of "Nightmare Café" from the syndicated wilderness of 1992. Bonus authentic commercials!

Back in 1997, Taco Bell and Lunchables teamed up to deliver the one meal everyone really wanted: Tiny beef tacos, a fun-size Butterfinger bar, and a pouch of Capri Sun Surfer Cooler.

Buggering arse wank fuck and bollocks. Have encountered a bug in the Mister Negative fight of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. You get his energy down low enough to begin phase 2 of the fight, and fight him through that to drop his energy low enough. Fight resets to start of phase 2.
