My current life philosophy, whenever I do something that's even the slightest bit unorthodox:

There's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball. 🙎

In between coats I'm doing detail work on this undead knight.

Current painting project is these cultists. So far I just have the background blocked in, I haven't started any of the detail work yet.

Theoretically there are two shades of brown, one on the jacket and another on the hood and pants, but they dried much closer than I expected.

Well that's enough jobdoomscrolling for one day, time to lock myself in the basement and paint some minis.

King of Queens? November 2028
Young Sheldon? That was actually released December 2019, but only to WotC employees as part of the Heroes of the Multiverse series. You might be able to find one on eBay but it's gonna cost you.

This also lets us predict some other drops, including that SL X Friends: The One with the Gathering should drop in June 2030.

...we can calculate when even less culturally relevant SL sets will drop.

For example, Seinfeld ended in May 1998, so we can expect SL X Seinfeld: A Set About Nothing to drop August 2033.

It's kind of neat to realize we live in the Star Trek Mirror Universe.

I talk to my computer all the time. Usually either "fuck you" or "why are you like this".

The Office had it's final episode May 2013. The Secret Lair X The Office dropped October 2025.

That's 12 years, 5 months.

Secret Lair X The Walking Dead dropped October 2020. The Walking Dead ended November 2022.

That's -2 years, 1 month.

If we fit a linear curve to the finale vs drop dates...

Plus, The Office hasn't been culturally relevant for like a decade at this point.

I also did a Hoth diorama because the advent calendars love Hoth

Technically it's a random gungan warrior, he came in the advent calendar a couple of years ago, but it was too funny not to stick him in there as JarJar

I already did the Star Wars logo and Gameboy sets.

And I spent entirely too much time today fiddling with my Clone Wars diorama because I had a cool piece leftover from something else I wanted to turn into a flower to be trampled by the droid army.

Has anyone done a Dan Dan while eating Dan Dan contest?

Like, Dan Dan Hot Ones

I understand now why retired people go senile.

Got two rejections today, but one of them was a longshot anyway and the other had over 200 applicants so I'm not taking it personally.
