A scene at night with a lamp illuminating a small part of the screen. A firefly in the upper right is creating small bursts of light.

A series of doodles titled "shapely self doodles" including a figure looking proudly up to the sky and grabbing, or being pinned under a boulder with the word "ぢんぽう" (bunpou, or "grammar" in Japanese), or running away from a round figure bearing the kanji for "knife" on their body.

A solid plastic sign featuring the grim reaper over the skeletons of three lost divers, beckoning the reader forward. The sign reads "STOP, PREVENT YOUR DEATH! GO NO FARTHER. FACT: More than 300 divers, including open water scuba instructors, have died in caves just like this one. FACT: You needed training to dive. You need cave training and cave equipment to cave dive (cave training, cave equipment, and cave dive are all underlined and bolded for emphasis). FACT: Without cave training and cave equipment, divers can die here. FACT: it CAN happen to YOU (can and you are written in all caps, bolded, and underlined for emphasis). THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS CAVE WORTH DYING FOR! DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT." A message in the bottom left corner reads "A diver safety message from: NACD, NSS-CDS, PADI"
Quina Quen of Final Fantasy IX, wearing their chef's outfit: a frilly toque with two long tassels, a blue bib, red coat, and pink skirt. Ribbons adorn their shoes, which appear to be coming loose from the soles. They hold a large fork in their right hand, and a long tongue hangs down to the end of their bib. They have a red star around each eye.
Pencil drawings in a sketchbook from December 14, 2025. In the top left, there is a bag of chips with the label "CHIPS!" a note in the corner of the bag reads "jumbo bag." On the side are potential sizes, including "dad bod pack," "paunch edition," and "un-hungerer." Below that, a man with a mullet sits cross-legged with another bag of chips in his lap, implying he's eating through his gas mask. The size listed is "Beeg." He says "Life finds a way, little dude." With "cronch" in asterisks off to the side. Below him, potential titles read "chip yogi" and "muncher."

Basic pixel art on a transparent background. The upper left shows an oval, a square, and a diamond. The shape in the middle looks kind of like an arm flexing, but was just intended to practice drawing curves and making them look clean. The bottom left item is a small bottle.
Jazzy holding a male Rottweiler gently on his lap. The dog is at ease and panting happily, looking off to the right.
Jazzy and his partner taking a photo together. Jazzy never knows where to look for photos.

A warning sign installed in underwater caves. It depicts the Grim Reaper standing behind three skeletons surrounded by diving equipment. The sign reads "STOP. PREVENT YOUR DEATH! GO NO FARTHER. FACT: More than 300 divers, including open water scuba instructors, have died in caves just like this one. FACT: You need training to dive. You need cave training and cave equipment to cave dive. (The words 'cave training', 'cave equipment', and 'cave dive' are underlined for emphasis) FACT: Without cave training and cave equipment, divers can die here. FACT: It CAN happen to YOU! (as with the second point, the words 'can' and 'you' are underlined) THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS CAVE WORTH DYING FOR! DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT." The sign is held in place with screws that have started to rust from their time underwater, with some of the oxidation bleeding onto the sign. A small box of additional text can be seen in the bottom left, but it's partially obscured by an object in the foreground.

A fresh Sicilian tomato pie sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Because it's Philadelphia style, it's more like a deep dish pizza without the cheese. No, I don't understand that part either.
According to Article 121.09 of the RPG making code, all RPGs are required, by law, to include at least one sewer dungeon or face severe legal penalties. So here you go - one sewer dungeon.

A work in progress screenshot of Jazzy's game "Django" with a black background. Text on the screen displays the number of lives, currently 2, the high score, currently 15,000, and a score and bonus value of 0. The floor tile repeats, creating a couple of mounds and a floating platform above a yellow square that will eventually be replaced by treasure. A large purple square with a hand-drawn "E" is on the right and serves as an exit. A pink rectangle with a smiley face sits on the left side of the screen and represents the player. There is a large number "one" in the middle of the screen made with floor tiles.

Screenshot of an article on US Senator Mike Lee's site announcing that he and Tuberville introduce a bill to abolish the TSA, dated March 27, 2025. "Bill would privatize airport security under federal oversight." "Washington - Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) today introduced the Abolish the TSA Act, which would dissolve the bloated and ineffective Transportation Security Administration while allowing America's airports to compete to provide the safest, most efficient, and least intrusive security measures, under a new office of Aviation Security Oversight. 'The TSA has not only intruded into the privacy and personal space of most Americans, it has also repeatedly failed tests to find weapons and explosives,' said Sen. Lee. 'Our bill privatizes security functions at American airports under the eye of an Office of Aviation Security Oversight, bringing this bureaucratic behemoth to a welcome end. American families can travel safely without feeling the hands of an army of -' (the rest of the article is cut off by the end of the screenshot)
