New dice! I picked these up while at Otakon this year. Got my first fancy metal set from Norse Foundry (the Vampire Blood set) and our staff-exclusive Ota merch set. The staff set is very pretty but the fact that the D6 has pips and not numbers like the rest of the set is mildly annoying, ngl.

Learning a new craft. I still haven't quite figured out how to get them perfect (there's a reason I photographed them this way, and it's all of the pinhole bubbles on some of the other faces) but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. (I don't even play D&D, I just like the shiny math rocks)

Like bro. *They* didn't say shit about or even imply that. That idea is alllll you

Started playing Skyrim for the first time, and I can already tell this is going to be one of those games where I end up playing for ten hours and spending so long underground that I actually have to go outside and see the sky. (DAO's Deep Roads started that shit in me and it's never gotten better.)

Wow, this year really is determined to be unrelentingly terrible on all fronts. RIP to a legend.
Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning soul and R&B vocalist and educator who penned massive hits with “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” has died at age 88.

You know, it's just occurred to me that the fanfic writers of the internet have the opportunity to do the funniest thing with this stupid ass "send me five things" email from the Muskrat.

Currently doing a silly thing with spare bits as an alternative to doomscrolling for an hour or two, and trying to decide whether I like Scourge's shoulder pads or Snarl's better on whatever this nonsense is.

Anyway, have a before and after of the ugliest custom I have ever painted. His name is Straightaway and he's vaguely inspired by Circuit's and SG Thundercracker's obnoxious colour palettes. I rescued(?) him from ebay in 2023 after seeing him on there for months, all sad and yellowed and headless.

(I am maybe definitely redirecting my frustration at the world's stupidity into refuting this one particular bit of stubborn refusal to consider that *just maybe*, the thing the game says happened is actually what happened, and not "IDK, I like my headcanon better, so I'll believe that instead".)

TFW you're enough of a video game nerd to spend twenty minutes writing out a long-winded reply to a thread whose entire premise is "yeah but what if LITERALLY EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS VIDEO GAME'S PLOT *AND* ALL OF THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED ARE LYING?", because someone is Wrong On The Internet.

Just saw people fr arguing that "At its core, transformers is about cool looking robots fighting each other" and is "not very political".
Fighting each other over what, my dudes? FIghting each other over WHAT?

So I feel like posting a thing, for no particular reason, obviously. I got these for ten bucks from a dude outside a train station back in august, and it's still probably the best ten bucks I ever spent. Didn't post it on the bird site for obvious reasons, but fuck it, he can't touch me here.

one thing people genuinely need to start realizing that even if “donald trump didn’t do anything to save tiktok” and “he initiated this ban in 2020 so its actually his fault” it doesn’t matter. nothing real matters, all that matters is that something FEELS real to people

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Also, I have discovered that the weird squishy energon cubes that come with Bombshell fit perfectly into the hollow energon cubes that come with some Blokees. (You're not getting them back *out* without effort, but they fit in neatly and actually work pretty nicely for a cup full of liquid look.)

Finished Slipstream! I had to give her an extra coat of matte spray because the purple and teal are both gloss and nigh impossible to photograph without a ridiculous amount of glare if you don't matte them down a little.

Finished DK-2 Guard and Barricade! Slipstream is actually painted as well, but I'm not happy with how messy she ended up, so I'll be stripping the paint and redoing it.
