Yay! My #Plushtodon from #Mastodon was delivered today!

I was not expecting it until after #Christmas 🎄, but I am glad that @Mastodon was able to expedite deliveries for those of us in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

Thanks @Gargron!

Hmm…now I need to figure out what to name it‽ Mister Masto‽ Super Masto‽ Nasty Masty‽ 😂 I will not use the latter, lest folks think I won this from a Dirty Santa 🎅🏾 game! 🤣🤪

there is something poetic about how my #Plushtodon plush was shipped
A poor Mastodon plushie stuffed inside of an Amazon box that is definitely too small to hold it. It's bursting at the seams.

@Gargron mine arrived the same way. Branding-wise it’s not great but it’s good recycling?

Another bug fixes release is out for DXVK (v2.5.2), the project that translates Direct3D 8, 9, 10 and 11 to Vulkan. It's a big part of what makes Proton able to run Windows games on Steam Deck / Linux so nicely.

Ah, not a comic book buff myself, but will celebrate that on this day in 1940, the first issue of Captain America Comics was published, with this iconic cover.

"When the first issue came out we got a lot of ... threatening letters and hate mail. Some people really opposed what Cap stood for."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_…

#CaptainAmerica #CaptainAmericaComics #comics #marvel #nazis #PunchNazis #OnThisDay #OTD

A cover of the first Captain America comic book. The title of the comics appears on top in large yellow angular letters. The scene depicts the titular hero punching Adolf Hitler. Captain America is wearing a brightly colored superhero costume that consists of a blue shirt with a large start across the chest and vertical red and white stripes below it, and is also wearing red gloves, a blue mask covering the top half of his face, with little wings attached to the side of the mask. He is also holding a shield for protection. Hitler is wearing a brown Nazi uniform, and looks visibly in pain. Good. There is a small crowd of Nazi soldiers looking on helplessly. One of them is attempting to shoot at Captain America, but the bullet hits the shield he's carrying.

1941 comic book ongoing series
