Neat, thanks! Tangentially-related joke: in the '80s, every Japanese student who strayed into the path of an oncoming vehicle was tackled to safety by a passing tokusatsu protagonist. They don't do that much any more, which is why isekai exists now.

Borrowed a box set from a friend, and I'm going back to 1996 - time to work my way through Escaflowne! I haven't seen any of the show in maybe 20 years at this point; I saw it originally on broadcast TV, then at least a partial watch-through in college. I vaguely remember some of the main story...

Stumbled across Retro Gears at a WM I don't normally go to. I don't have any experience with the mold, nor any big want for Gears as a character, but I figured what the heck. I like the masked head, conversion is quick and satisfying, robot moves good, chunky little truck...all my tolerances...

Hence the rhetorical, yes. And my reactions to this crap still make me feel stupid, because I keep trying to apply logic to their bigotry (which is impossible).

Again, what does anyone shilling this stuff actually hope to get out of it? What benefit could eradicating "adult material" actually have? What good does censoring the most random stuff on the internet get anyone? So far all I can come up with is it's "infinite money for me forever" (somehow)...

Heads up! Less than 48 hours on current Nightwave! Ed.: forgot an entire paragraph of text. Sat down and slammed out Limbo Theorem, and built the magic man. Didn't have time to toy with him much, need to fashion him up. Any tips, given that I'm almost exclusively a solo player and "don't play...

Sure did. 'cause why expect parents to teach and monitor their kids when we can threaten censor blame companies, sites, or individuals that Certain People decide are Objectionable.

There's something very "80s top-down shooter" about that design. More rando seeker redecos could have been cool.

...Mornington Crescent!

Arizona is! Bill 2112 is back for another round of attempts at censorship 'age verification' requirements. The governor vetoed it last time, here's hoping.

Quick heads up, next Nighwave cycle is coming in like two weeks.

Hit a particularly funny one in Fallen London. Algernon has been bouncing around, doing the basic stat-ups, and I'm playing him as sort of a Sherlock type - investigative profession, friendships with criminals, urchins, dockworkers, hippies, and the like, but not doing too much actual villainy...

Finished painting some miniatures! Modiphius made these for the Star Trek Adventures line, which is by now long out of print (though I think they may still sell the STL files). I was reminded of three things working on these: 1, I hate resin models; b, I hate painting yellow; and iii, ye gods...

It strikes me as perhaps ironic on a Transformers-related site, but I had a thought: even the campiest 80s cartoon villains usually remembered that there has to be a world left for them to rule over.

On the digital side - I've been into the setting for ages and watched a lot of Failbetter's other games, Sunless Seas/Skies, but I never actually played in the OG Fallen London. Rectified that today, I literally just made an account a few minutes ago and kicked Algernon Cuthridge out into the...

Double XP weekend, and Baro extra visit with all his Prisma-grade stuff! Thread tax: Koumei all kitted out, alt helmet, in a fetching (and coincidentally-appropriate) purple that I almost like more than my white-and-green:

More blog posts from my quote file: "Things computers in the early 2000s had NO MINIMALISM The ability to log in without a ******* Microsoft account No updates in the middle of the night that ruined the layout beyond recognition NO MINIMALISM Dozens of plug sockets of every type Pre-installed...

Not wrong in any capacity, I don't think. Side tangent: John Carter was surprisingly good. The failure was in the desperate attempts to not 'reveal' the Mars thing, IIRC because some other animated movie involving Mars was a bust.

Yeah, unfortunately the Tron 3 that was an actual sequel to Legacy was torpedoed after Tomorrowland flopped. Disney took that as "audiences don't like non-Star Wars science fiction" and scuttled it. I am a Tron fan, and I'm still not sure how I feel about Ares. I have reservations based on what...

At core size? Sure, I would have gone for a NERF Tank. :LOL:
