Atlas just referenced the legendary Hiimdaisy parody of Persona 4 in an official email

In an email announcing some Persona 4 photo frames, Atlus has officially acknowledged the legendary Persona 4 parody comic made by Hiimdaisy. In it, Chie is asked to say any word that starts with the letter F and she replies by saying "fsteak" since she just can't stop thinking about steak.

It's pretty wild to see it referenced like this. And for anyone who hasn't seen the parody, here's a great fandub of it https://youtu.be/w7lj9qI8VFc

Update: It turns out that Atlus also referenced it in P4 Golden. Still, it's pretty funny to see it referenced like this.

Friday Pocket Check

Today, I've got my Case tiny toothpick and my Wild Boar melon tester. The melon tester sliced open a letter like a dream.

New Toy Story game collection announced (includes A Bug's Life Game) fully on-cart

Looks like Atari's putting this out. Pretty cool! I played that A Bug's Life game a ton when I was a kid. Plus it's not a GKC.

Here's the video description:

Step back into Andy’s room with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and all your favorite characters in Toy Story: Retro Roundup! This 11-game collection features console and handheld versions of five early Toy Story titles, as well as A Bug’s Life. All the games have been upgraded with new features, quality-of-life improvements, and an overflowing toy chest of behind-the-scenes content. Revisit the ‘90s and early 2000s hits you loved and share these titles with a new generation of Toy Story fans.

And that's not all...

Reopen the toy chest and saddle up as Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie in a 3D adventure based on the hit 2010 animated film, Toy Story 3. Known as one of the best Pixar games ever made, Toy Story 3 has long been difficult to access as platforms evolved. Now, it’s back and upgraded for modern consoles. Play through authentic moments from the movie, or drop into the wild west sandbox of Woody’s Roundup, where you can customize your town and even play as Evil Emperor Zurg.

Launching October 15th, 2026!

Does the warranty cover buck knives bought second hand?

I bought a used 503 and only noticed later that the tip of the knife is exposed while folded. It's just barely poking out, but I can feel my finger nail catching on the tip of the blade and I'm concerned about it being a safety issue.

Honestly, it would only need a little bit of filing on the kick to fix it, so I'm not sure it's worth paying to mail it in and having to pay for a blade replacement. Would they even do anything for one I bought second hand? What do you all think?

My first Rough Ryder

I really like the scales on this Rough Ryder, so I decided to grab it. It's got some gapping but the blades feel pretty solid and don't wiggle. For 20 bucks, I'm pretty happy with it.

I just got this melon tester from wild boar for $30. It's a bit pricey for what is essentially a letter opener, but I think it's pretty cool and I haven't seen many melon testers with scales like this so I had to get it.

I just got this melon tester from wild boar. I've been fascinated by melon tester knives lately, and I haven't seen many that have scales like this one so I had to get it. It was $30 which is a bit much for what is essentially a letter opener, but I think it's pretty cool.
