“Ew look at all of this banding” and other statements from steak sickos

To me, the friction is a feature. If I don’t want it enough to deal with the one minute it takes to input it into the spreadsheet, I probably shouldn’t be buying it

wait until you see the backpack/manta ray in action lol

I have one of these, too. I also catalogue when I got the kit, where it came from, and how much I paid for it. I have pivot tables to tell me everything I could possibly want to know. I also track whether I’ve gotten the third party water slides yet or not, which is super useful!

Arms, shoulders, and torso

I like the developing asymmetry. I bet this is gonna look great when it’s built and posed, with the high contrast asymmetry drawing the eye in different ways

Quick mid-detailing shot for a PSA: DSPIAE soft tip markers work great on this plastic, but don’t expect a friction clean. This is what it looks like with friction only. You will still need a cleaning agent (I use Solven)

What’s it like to know with absolute certainty that your career is over?

It’s pretty rad so far. I’m almost done with the body and that’s like, not even half the build. The manta / Green Goblin air board is half the build itself

I still use Duolingo but give them precisely $0 for that reason. That said, as a direct comparison Duo just gives you new stuff while Busuu actually teaches you how the language works and why things are a certain way. It’s much more thorough

Very subtle, much grace

There are multiple endings and an impossibly large number of secrets, plus several optional areas not critical to the true ending

I’m trying not to spoil anything. When you post about what your final boss was, we’ll know if you have major sections remaining

Look at those EARS! How can you live with such a creature and not just be petting him all the time?

No, it’s Busuu. Much better, IMO

UFO50 came out on Switch this year

Rise of the Golden Idol DLC?

Idk, I log all of my game completions and most of them this year have been for games that did not come out this year 🫥

With and without armor

Minor detailing added. DSPIAE soft tip markers work great on ABS, unlike the markers I tried using on the Aurora back when I built that one

Economics isn’t about money the same way politics isn’t about government. They encapsulate those things, but those things are only a small part of the wholes of those subjects

Economics is about the flow of resources. Politics is about the dynamics of power
