You can customize your own personal cousin now using the bodies of other cousins & you can as usual adorn them with cute accessories. They even have their own unique poses & you can add many emotes.

So I wanted you to see my little Evangelion Ninja Cousin in a mawashi.

Looks like it's going to be a forsaken Christmas.
Elden Ring Nightreign DLC is hot dropping with new bosses and characters right before the end of the year
There's a new map, new characters, and the return of a fan-favorite Dark Souls boss.

Success! Made it with 15 minutes to spare until the judging deadline closed.

Of course, instantly humbled by everyone else's amazing projects. The Macross theme category was absolutely stacked and I am forever envious of the clean work others pull off.

Not done. Not even close to done. But, we're a lot closer.

Reasons for all-nighters:

School ❌
Work ❌
Model Building ✅
(and let's be real: procrastination ✅+)

This is just a *little* behind where I wanted to be with this build.l at this point...*checks watch*...less than 24 hours to go until the competition.

Might be cooked on this one...

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

So much despairs
upon

a sneering shattered
visage

beside two trunkless
legs

on boundless and bare
sands
This is just to say

I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert

and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand

Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Time for me to be aggrieved by the most trivial of things, but I cannot stand the new icon updates for Office. The satin-y pastel veneer slapped over featureless blobs. The increasing likelihood they were mined from prompt generators. The assumption their ubiquity transcends the need for good design

I wrote a story for the new APWOT that I'm very excited to see out in the world. Sooooon!
APWOT 5 is real! 🦄

We'll be shipping in the next week or so. Thank you all for supporting the mag and making this a reality 💙

It's Once Upon a Katamari launch day!

Go roll yourself a fat Katamari. It's almost the weekend, you've earned it.

Once Upon A Katamari's appropriately ostentatious, energetic return is the best the series has been since the PlayStation 2 era.

Speaking of "there's a new Katamari game dropping this week," games press folks get at me if you haven't already.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Bandai Namco has been slowly uploading music videos for the new songs in the Katamari that's dropping this week over the last few months, there's a playlist and everything

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.

We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.
Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.

Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

Louder for the folks in the back: Block and move on.

A little less than a month out from the annual model building contest. This year the theme is Macross, so I'm building a YF-19 from Macross Plus (Dyson's plane).

I just finished the hardest part of the build: Painting the tiny pilot no one will ever see.
October 15, 2025 at 3:11 AM
Only because I haven't seen it mentioned yet. Why did I finish this game? Those reasons are lost to the annals of time. Alas.

Now I am much more conditioned to just stop playing games I don't enjoy.
