And that's that! 🙂
Achievement clean-up was simple. Amusingly, by the last one, I was finally able to find my way around the Orchard without getting completely lost. 😂 I don't know if I've ever experienced a more confusing hub!
Anyway, a very unique game that at times reminded me of Nier.
8.5/10

I'm playing through 1000xRESIST, and man, this game almost feels like it was written with me in mind. Not because its subject matter reflects my own experiences, but it touches on a number of things I find myself thinking about a *lot*.
The OST being great is a nice bonus. ❤️

Hallmark ornaments have gotten really expensive over the past couple years, so no new additions for 2025. However, these are some of my favorites.

We built the Lego Gingerbread AT-AT this afternoon. Really cute! My favorite details are the dripping frosting and bows on its feet. 😊

It's been a long time since I've watched the anime, but this still cracks me up! 😂

My only Black Friday Gunpla purchase: a $10 HGIBO Barbatos Lupus kit.
Been so busy lately that I haven’t built anything in what feels like weeks! Looking forward to getting back into it over the holidays though.
Have a nice Thanksgiving weekend to those here in the states. 🦃

Another anime-related ANSI drawing I did in January 1993): the AV-98 Ingram from Patlabor.
At the time, I knew very little about it, but by the mid-90s, it had become one of my favorite and consistently good series.
Now all that's missing are some plamo kits! 🤔

Here’s another one I did of Shampoo from Ranma 1/2. She was one of my favorite characters at the time!

Haha, OK, I will see if I still remember how to do any of this! I haven't used an ANSI editor in decades...

I saw a pic of Lum earlier and it brought back memories of when I did 80-column ANSI art on my first PC in the early 90s.
The time and patience I had as a teen! Everything done w/ keyboard, you had to work in 25-line chunks, copy them together, and hope that it looked OK afterwards.
It was hard. 😅

Sitting and waiting at the hospital can be tough, but I saw these at the coffee shop/deli here just now and they made me smile. 😊

Appreciate you all. ❤️
I’m having a good night on the eve of my MIL’s kidney removal surgery (due to cancer) and subsequent start of dialysis.
A little scotch and some classic RetroArch gaming are just what I needed to relax my nerves a bit.

And here’s the rest of the squad completed.
I wish Laserbeak’s wings moved the way they do on the original toy, but I do like that there’s a cassette version included and good color separation across all of these.
Rumble’s face and chest are printed too!

One final amusing reflection on the process of cataloging everything:
When it came to my backlog, I just quickly took pictures of the various piles/boxes, not thinking about things like timelines, release years, etc., so I still had to Google a ton of these after the fact.
So efficient. 😅

Still have the cassettes to go, but finished the rest tonight. Went for a G1 box-like pose.
This was OK. It reminded me of third-party Lego sets, in that it’s still cool, but you can see and feel the differences in engineering and the small details.
It’s solid though and does feel like a toy!

Soundwave’s head & body done.
Looks like this is mostly ABS, so I’m not going to take any chances panel lining it. Will likely leave it as a snap build, which I think will be fine.
Tightness on some joints destroyed my fingers, but it’s been a solid build so far otherwise.

The sheer *amount* of them that they've produced (and all of the sub-lines of figures and related merch) is kind of disgusting, but ngl, I have a soft spot for some of them...

I like this particular HGUC action pose, so I tried to do the same with my MG.
It’s interesting how it doesn’t have the same level of articulation as the HG, so it ended up looking a little stiff and less dynamic.
Still, fun to do poses like these balanced on one foot!
