I think there is something to be said for the culture that aroused out of fear of budget cuts forcing NASA to be overly risk averse, but Space (*hueh) X over corrected in the wrong direction. There's a difference between taking risks and being reckless. Also, little good comes from E.M.'s touch.

I only wish they'd gotten to this point sooner with less vaporware promises.

Some actual renders of models are happening, and what better character to do that with than the main protagonist!

Next up for an upgrade is Musa🎸

Musa was the easiest, I simply gave her wider pants and a different top, and removed the logo
now the design is a bit simple, but I think it looks stylish, and I'd even wear it myself🫦

Something I'll always shout about is how Tokyo Movie Shinsa provided the JUICE for cartoons in the 80s and 90s

Thinking about the training GM Canards from Ecole du Ciel... I really like Yoshinori Sayama's designs for EdC in general, but I love this friend just for lacking a traditional head and instead just having a weird large sensor package up there.

“hundreds of fond memories of things that never happened and places you never went, moments you can sit back and "relive"”

I’m so confused how the people selling this stuff think, clearly to someone this seems like an enjoyable activity and I don’t get it. No wonder it’s negatively effecting users.

Got a grungy affect just by increasing the contrast on the crappy photograph. Ran it through some basic filters...

(what's the title of the movie that one of these would be on the poster?)
