Name: Barrel Bomb

Debut: Mario Kart Tour

I gotta be honest, all this time I thought this thing was just called Obstacle. That was much funnier to me. Is it ok if I start this post over and you all pretend its official name is Obstacle? Thank you so much.

Name: Obstacle

Debut: Mario Kart Tour

Yep. That sure is an Obstacle if I've ever seen one! They really named this thing Obstacle. I can't say I disagree! It has a bright red Bowser face, and best of all, its metal rims have spikes like the spiked bands Bowser wears. This barrel isn't just designed that way, it's wearing accessories! It's wearing spiked bands, and technically, it has a face, so I think Obstacle counts as a member of the Koopa Troop. It hangs out with them, and one day, hopes to maybe even drive a kart of its own...!

Obstacle is like the evil version of the DK Barrel. Donkey Kong? Now that guy is my funny friend. If one of HIS barrels is in the way, it's probably not too intrusive, and might even have goodies inside! It might also have him inside! Remember the recent confirmation that Kongs are not apes? That makes it more likely that wooden barrels are their eggs, and they are full of albumin. Be careful breaking them... you might be in for a Wet Surprise! Don't act like it's weird, Yoshi's whole brand is eggs and we let that happen!

Don't even think about crashing into Obstacle. You'll be obstructed if you do! Maybe you'd think "This obstacle is a bad guy and I should kill it by running it over with my car" (and you would have a point because this barrel is clearly the moral scum of the earth, quite frankly), but impact with Obstacle will cause you to Explode. It will also explode if it from afar with something such as a shell, which is utilized in some challenges to defeat large groups of Goombas. You might think Obstacle was just trying to hang out with the Goombas, but remember what an utterly reprehensible villain Obstacle is. I bet it stationed itself there on purpose, so that it could sacrifice itself to destroy its supposed friends. Irredeemable!

My favorite thing about Obstacle is that they are Bowser-branded at all, here in this game where Bowser and his cronies are playable. A Bowser face to communicate "Bad! Stay away!" when you could easily be playing as Bowser. It makes sense from a game design standpoint, but it's still silly! Obstacle will make no exception for its boss. Maybe the Koopa Kingdom is the most notable exporter of obstacles in the Mushroom World, and Bowser provides the Obstacles like BaNaNa Boy provides the bananas! He should have given them a better name, though. "Obstacle"? That's so vague!

You know how the Earpers were annoyed that they wouldn’t let Wynonna f-bomb on the show but she and eventually everyone else did in Season 4 when they changed the age rating but Waverly wouldn’t?

Waverly was the last character to f-bomb in the show because she saved all her f-bombs until the very end which was hilarious and one of the highlights of it.

Well, it turns out Waverly actually had the first f-bomb in the show before even Wynonna in Season 2’s finale.

Would you like a nice dusting of INK today?

Was thinking of new boss salmonid ideas, and while this one doesn’t present the most challenging gameplay the concept would NOT leave my head.

Latest design for my OC Crystal Snowfall, who might be included in a future ᓵ𝙹ᒲ╎ᓵ

(Credit to @echolepzy for the open species used here. {please check tags for the species name} I still own the character, I just don't feel comfortable leaving the usage of a fictional species without credit to its creator.)

Alt under cut if you want to see the markings covered by her clothes (it won't show anything that'll make the Purity Worshippers™ mad)

Hid this under a cut because i might just be overthinking, but I can't be too careful in the minefield that is the internet

I started a new file and made enough progress to feel confident in fighting the Lynel of N. Akkala Valley, and I won by the slimmest margin. Immediately after that, I rode down to Skull Lake to look for Kilton and climb up to the Shrine of the right eye, stopping along the way to get a picture of the sleeping Black Hinox on top of Tempest Gulch (for my compendium). As luck would have it, a thunderstorm blew in; lightning struck the Hinox, waking it up, and it decided to come after me. I thought at first to fight it, but I had depleted all my good foodstuffs battling with the Blue Lynel, and being low on hearts, I decided to run. Even in the rain, I managed to climb up to a place the Hinox couldn't reach, but I made the mistake of turning around to look at it.

Over the last five years, I've spent around a thousand hours playing BotW, and I never knew the Black Hinoxes carried bomb barrels.

That MF blew me sky high.

This is a series of unfortunate events

I originally meant Artemisia to mainly be a necromancer spellcasting type but it turns out she hits stuff good so I'm letting her follow her bliss

Can you guess what game I've been playing a lot of? That's right:

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless

On an unrelated note, I've been chipping away at converting the "important" items from Monster Hunter for use in Fabula Ultima. Pic related, it's basically one of the ways I'm choosing to emulate ammo from MonHun into FabUlt. This is maybe the biggest homebrew project I've undertaken? Like, I'm writing up several methods of simulating MonHun items for FabUlt in varying degrees of complexity, so people can pick and choose how crunchy they wanna get.

All from me for now, real life has been kicking my ass recently. Stay frosty, o' ye internet stranger.

The tonal shifts of ‘Wynonna Earp’ never fail to whip lash me with it’s back and forth drama and comedy.

Especially in the 4th season where they just drop f-bombs like it’s nobody’s business even in scenes where it’s not even necessary and not expected.

For example: You have this scene in the final episode of the show, ‘Old Souls’, where Waverly and Nicole are Mulder and Scully-ing with investigating Waverly’s haunted wedding dress. Finishing off each other’s sentences, seamlessly bouncing off each other… and you can see exactly why they’re getting married.

Then suddenly Nicole drops an f-bomb out of nowhere. I was like “Well, that didn’t happen in The X Files. That I can recall...” 😂 The scene goes like this:

WAVERLY: “My purgatory historical kills file actually has a buttload of weddings that ended in bloodshed. When your town has forty times the murder rate of a normal borough, you don't always connect the dots.”

NICOLE: “Here's another one. 1968. The bride axed her groom to death on the foot of the chapel right after she'd-“

WAVERLY: “-Just axed her family to death? Then killed herself?”

NICOLE: “Slit her throat.”

WAVERLY: “With the axe?!”

NICOLE: “Wanna see her beautiful wedding dress?”

WAVERLY: “Ooh, wait, don't tell me. Vintage lace, inlaid sapphires in a heart?”

NICOLE: “Bingo.”

WAVERLY: “So, we know the dress is haunted, so it's gotta be the dressmaker, right?”

NICOLE: “There's an old wedding announcement. Check this out.

*sits next to Nicole to look at the laptop*

‘The bride will be wearing a creation from Cursey's Bridal Boutique, designed by Ms. Brigitte Hogback.’”

WAVERLY: “That's definitely the weirdo who sold me the dress. Also!

*runs back to the investigation board*

First wedding massacre, 1922. Ah! A Miss H, left at the altar, killed her guests.”

NICOLE: “Well, that is a terrible way to be dunked on.”

WAVERLY: “Awful enough to want to destroy every future wedding in town?”

NICOLE: “Baby, if you left me at the altar, I would fսck shit up. I might kill Nedley.”

WAVERLY: “Nicole!”

NICOLE: “I'm kidding. I think.”

WAVERLY:

*gets all flirty, walks back to Nicole smiling*

“What else would you do to keep me around?”

For a moment it was like watching the The X Files but I’m fairly certain there were no f-bombs in that show. I mean from what I’ve seen of it I hadn’t heard any. But ‘Wynonna Earp’ just drops f-bombs every other scene.

It just completely took me out. In a very funny way. But yes, Waverly and Nicole were very Mulder and Scully in that little scene. It was adorable to watch how they were just in the same mental space one moment and the next things suddenly got spicy between them. I’m the same. Mental stimulation gets me going. If someone can stimulate me mentally, they suddenly have all the power to stimulate me sexually. Intelligence is sexy. Especially when it’s two females.

sometimes i get upset with myself for not being able to figure out how a puzzle is Supposed to be solved (or knowing how, but being unable to do it) and then other times i just have to be glad it's solved
