Did some graphic design work for a friends' toy store, and part of the pay was Classics Megator #MOTU

I feel like a dick for recommending a figure that's $100 on the aftermarket, but man is his a good toy, even beyond its grail status.

A first for the internet (apparently), a #Ninjombie size comparison against other figs of known scale. This is apparently alien to modern toy reviewers.

As you can see, they are 7 or even 8" scale (if one discounts the built-in-posing) Haz Mat makes sense as a huge genetically swollen horror, tho

Is it too much to ask for someone, anyone, taking pictures at #toyfair2016 to visit the booths for Schleich, MGM, Zuru and Moose Toys? k

My proposal for a #MOTUorigins Bionatops that could be pulled off on a budget by o'l Mattel. a version without the tail-tip and head remolds is also viable, but much less fun.

I wanted to recreate the experience of getting a tape full of AMVs and having zero context on either the song or the show used.

Little something I've been working on in some form or another for the past 3 years, as this is an adaptation of a series of image-and-short-story vignettes.

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

[smugly] you build prototypes during the "conceptual phase" of your projects? you must hate using your imagination

This does not align with my experience with the technology. If anything, the high error and misunderstanding rate produces many tangents that can, when explored, lead to new and interesting directions.

Thanks for the awareness! I am also facing down a need to summon up $400 in rent in the next 10 hours or that move will be way sooner than I can manage it.

Yeah you can sum up the failures of the best parts of the American experiment as white people disenfranchising white people because they're imagining Black people

Yes it harms the rest of us too, but just by population numbers antisocial policy obviously harms way more white people than anyone else
"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

Tesla "full self-driving" is fraud in the same sense that Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes committed fraud.

what scares me the most is that so many leftists are living in a delusional fantasy world in which they think no one but tech bros are actually using or paying for AI — this is rampant on bluesky, and i know many leftists will take this personally but it should be concerning

Okay, I'm not happy to do this, but I need help. I lost most of the month to unscheduled withdrawl from my ADHD meds, and I'm still recovering from that, plus excessive power bill due to the heat. I am $500 short of rent. All help is appreciated.

You can still find stuff that does that, it just comes in an egg full of goo.
See, back in the day toys did fun things if you played with them.

AND you could pose them on a shelf!

So, did guess generate this image a year ago, not do any fixup work for the entire time, and release it now? Because as gens go that's just... whuff.
I thought the worst thing about it was the ridiculous hyper-airbrushed texture we’ve come to expect from this nonsense technology and then I saw the actual full ad and apparently this fake woman made of environmental ruin and stolen art is about eight feet tall
