Just putting this out there: despite running a website full time, I am open for contract work, whether it’s mock reviews, consulting, etc. I’ve done multiple before, most recently Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and am looking to expand this year.

Expect we'll see a lot of this, so the Lego nerd logs on: IS IT? Let's compare...
The £589.99 Titanic is £0.07 per piece.
The £899.99 2025 Death Star is £0.10
The £579.99 Kanto Starter Evos are £0.12 per piece
So... this defo runs on the higher end, but is similar to other licensed sets

That LEGO Pokemon pricing is fucking extortionate. LEGO has been pretty bad value for a while now but £580 for that Charizard / Blastoise / Venosaur set?? £180 for a really basic and not very good looking Pikachu. I've no clue what's happened behind the scenes but it's a bad look for LEGO

The University of Oklahoma has stripped the graduate student who gave a failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky of instructional duties, calling their grading in this case “arbitrary.”
This is a disgraceful capitulation by a university to those who seek to destroy it.
