I still have this shirt 💖 It extremely does not fit me anymore, but it is still in my possession

“Invisible” tutorials are an art form and most of us are extremely NOT good at designing them, myself often included. Discoverable mechanics are a very special thing

This line is razor thin, in my experience. I’ve found, empirically, that the aspect of experience most strongly correlated with enjoyment is in fact mechanical comprehension

It’s getting to comprehension without feeling like a lecture that’s the hard part. People usually don’t like being taught

It’s me, I am one of the seven (says the guy who owns the Blast Corps soundtrack on CD)

100% yes they are, at every knuckle

Not yet, but the Shizuoka Hobby Show is about a month out. Getting new images and a release date there is a very solid bet

I really think their algo is just, “You watched something popular? Here are other popular things!” more than any likeness grouping

The Astray rules. I’m really looking forward to the new one! I have the Turn Red and the Mirage in my backlog right now, but the MG Red Kai and PG Red Kai are on my radar

No worries about the water slides here, I always use Delpi when available anyway

Make sure to toss in something carbonated for maximum discomfort!

(Shaxx voice) NOW DO IT AGAIN

One leg done. One to go!

Nice. How did you like that build? I’ve got it in my backlog, waiting until I’m ready to fully customize it

Thank you! GaiaNotes EX Black base layer, GN Primary Metallic Red next, GN Clear Red on top. It took some experimenting to decide on that combination, but I really like how it turned out

Wow, 2mm is THICK! That’s super cool, I’ve never heard of that one before

I usually use an entry level 0.5mm Kuru Toga. The lead auto rotates while you write, so it maintains a fine cone at the tip of the lead. Magical stuff

What’d you get? 👀 A Kuru Toga? A Rotring? A Staedtler? An Aimvision Pro? 👀👀

0. Have the $133M to develop a game with hundreds of staff for ~7 years

Drop something red

In Star Wars in general? Plenty. But you have to look at games and TV shows to get there

In the main 9 movies? The only one I can think of who’s a named character with dialogue is Captain Phasma. A quick skim on IMDb validates that

Happy slightly belated birthday! 🥳

I agree with you, but I think we’re the old guard here and “live service” is also about the user expectation of continuous updates. There’s definitely some semantic slide happening here and it’s why we get articles like the Peak devs pleading that their game isn’t a live service game

Sticking purely to Bandai, the Alyzeus is on par in price and plastic with the HG Huckebein Boxer, which basically includes TWO kits and uses fewer than 10 stickers

I don’t think it’s off-base to shame Bandai for their color separation on the Alyzeus. It’s a noticeable quality drop from past works

It’s one of the all-time most expensive high grades ever made, too. It’s like 40% more expensive than the HG Psycho Gundam Mk-II. It’s more expensive than some perfect grades

It’s 50% more expensive than this guy, which uses precisely ZERO stickers or decals

I wasn’t expecting mechanical complexity or any engineering pizazz, but wraparound stickers instead of color separation in 2026 is a pretty bad look. Those are huge chunks in some places

WFM HGs universally had better color separation than that. Feels like they’ve stepped backwards with this one

Yolopark Shockwave - Transformers: Bumblebee - Newtype This highly detailed Shockwave model brings a realistic look from the movie to your hands! Once complete, the figure stands almost 12 inches tall and features premium articulation! Product Featur...

If you’ve been following my build for Yolopark Shockwave, know that that kit was VERY hard to come by. I wanted to let y’all know that it’s back in stock on Newtype US, an incredible rarity. Grab it asap if you’re interested

It’s a VERY intense show, but I found that pushing through was worth it to hear what they have to say. Incredibly powerful stuff

But yes, no shyness whatsoever. If they’re doing a procedure, you’re gonna see it. Nothing quite so gnarly and raw as that foot, though. Nothing that made me woozy

They don’t shy away from anything, but “de-gloved foot” is the worst of it, if that helps. I’m pretty squeamish about some kinds of gore, but got through everything else just fine

Thank Goodness You’re Here: Never give an owl a towel
My gf: Never give an owl a towel?
Me: Yeah, because then you’d have a moist owlet

It is my birthday 🥳

Birthday build progress!

This represents 47 pages of work. The next 32 are ALL LEGS lol

Of all the things I thought the new LiSA album could open with, “ska” was definitely not one of them

It is my birthday 🥳
