Seconded! I might actually be tempted to pick up a collaboration figure again.

Perceptorwave is pretty good, yeah. I've been going back through this thread and really digging on the coloring-error repaints.

Scored a copy of Final Wars the other day to add to my collection!

I'm genuinely not sure what thread to toss this in, because it's just more of my naive "I don't understand" bitching, but it is money related. I just cannot comprehend how people can be so greedy and so angry about things like "someone else's health care doesn't destroy them financially" and...

Just got back, haven't been reading the thread. Random thought-barf, not necessarily in order: I went in with very low expectations, and y'know, it was surprisingly okay. The plot was kinda there just to string together some pretty fight scenes, but I got the Pinocchio metaphor they wanted...

Gave it a couple days after the recent big update to smooth out any really rough patches. I'm still nowhere near the new stuff (have to do so many main story quests), but I knocked out the new tutorial quest - it genuinely would have been useful when I was new, gives a scrap of story to m'dude...

Yeah, Lugnut was another bafflingly-unused mold. No Animated deco, no Atomic repaint, zippo.

Treated myself to the Creator Haunted House today. Quick thoughts just on the house build - the ghost ship and train are pretty well done for alternatives made from a building, and I choose to read the train as a Monster Fighters 2010 homage, but the house is what I bought the set for. It's not...

I don't usually do a lot with comics, but I have a few faves. Most recently, I finally got an order in at my local shop - picked up Tron: Download, ahead of (sigh) Ares. It's just a compilation TPB of the original movie adaptation issues along with Betrayal, but the originals are quite out of print.

A joke I can attribute to some random streamer's chat that I was watching: "Is climate change such a political issue because we've anthropomorphised the Earth as a woman? Would [REDACTED] care more if it were Papa Earth's dick falling off?"

My FLGS got in the new Final Girl module, Bad Times at Buddyland - the nigh-obligatory Five Nights riff. Sat down with it over the last couple of days, and finally pulled out a win with one of the two protagonists after four or five runs. As a module it's back to what I consider the sweet spot...

Yup. Arizona's age-verification law kicks in Friday. There was a soundbite about Pornhub banning AZ IPs on the news, and I do find it funny that for half of it they just had a shot of someone writing "VPN" on a whiteboard.

I do, oh how I do. And I did say it's irrational, after all! It's bizarre to me what kinds of things this happens with, too. I get hit with the condescending BS for (at varying stores) anything from razor blades to a garage worklight to a Lego set, all under the $30 dollar mark - but I can pick...

Mundane thing that just pisses me off to an irrational degree: stores that have a loss-prevention approach of "if we have to unlock it for you, we also carry it up front for you, make you do the perp walk like you're both six years old and also already a thief, and you don't even get to touch...

After playing it a couple times at my weekly meetups, I picked up a copy of Apiary and its expansion. It's a midweight worker-placement base builder, which I'm usually kind of iffy on 'cause so many of them just become multiplayer solitaire. Apiary has a couple mechanics to encourage player...

A ponderance: we've probably all said "not my circus, not my monkeys" at some point. And unfortunately sometimes it is both your circus and your monkeys. If that situation were only half true, which would be worse? - It is your circus, still not your monkeys - Not your circus, but it is your...

Surprising things from the retro cartoon channel, subsection "you really couldn't make that today": think it was a Harvey Studios, one of their 'tortoise and the hare' shorts from the '50s. Wherein after losing to the turtle again, the hare cartoonishly but unambiguously commits suicide. Pulls a...

I agree, and saw something similar on a "sci-fi for non-sci-fi fans" list once - more or less, "Neuromancer is more prototypical cyberpunk, but it's also kind of a deadly bore."

More streamer archetypes that I find hard to watch: "Man, I really don't care for how long these battles are..." *playing as defensively and 'cowardly' as possible* *refusing to use consumables or powers*

Working just as well as it has since the School Shooting Crisis began in 1999!
