I've had fun with them before so! New year, new media thread.

(Full disclosure, I tend to hide spoilers in the alt text of included images, so be aware of that)

For example, if this was a regular post in the thread, I might put some more in-depth thoughts about the movie/series/show/book I just finished in here. However, this is the start of the thread, so it's a stupid, funny image instead. It's styled like a heavily worn vinyl album cover. The top text reads "Y'ALL EVER JUST POST SOME BULLSHIT" with a peeling off sticker in the middle reads "ON THE STUPID" and the bottom text reads "Fucking INTERNET?". The foreground of the image behind the text displays our cyber everyman, in a leather jacket and reflective helmet. In the helmet's reflected visor we can see that the User is browsing an older style computer with a white keyboard, big tower with a CD drive, and a big box screen, all while wearing black leather gloves. The background is blue to black lightning and speed lines.

p-bandai.com/us/item/N283... I'm not paying $92 plus tax and also shipping and handling for this but it's still tremendously funny that this exists.

Me: the Premium Bandai exclusive Char Aznable themed bath set with embroidered towel and matching doorknob hanger? Yeah.

Item box, red door hanger with Char on it, and the towel.

The last of Kawaii Jenny is OUT.
The only doll show courageous enough to have the final battle be a musical between giant robots.

“In the end, giant robots will battle each other.” The interviews have a lot of interesting tidbits for Ultraman/Godzilla/Chouseishin fans too. The thread directory is here (external), …

Red would definitely be a good color here, card games aside.

They may very well recolor it at some point! There's also a remold coming in December that's pretty cool.

I still haven't figured out this Sister's equipment and I don't think this will be it either, but it is sick as hell.

Sister 07 on the new 30MM Brave Boost Bike.

Thinking the bike will probably go with the currently-in-planning Sister 09. I need the upcoming Minerva Costume for that one, though.

"You skipped eight!" 08 is a current WIP but I need to do some handsewing for that one so that might be a while yet.

Your dad hit you with the

Cover of the book "Identifying Wood: Accurate Results with Simple Tools". A man is looking real closely at a wood block. Added Impact font text at the bottom reads "YEP, IT'S WOOD".

Pleased to report that the rest of the audience was well behaved! No one talking through the movie or bein on they phone. A dramatic reversal from How It Used To Be.

Wao! It's Senpai!!!

I mean, I wouldn't be offended if you sent it my way by default just in case.

This is the most packed theater I've been in for a minute and it's for a near-thirty year old anime movie.

Senpai with popcorn and a ticket for Perfect Blue because she's blue and also perfect.

Sometimes you win exactly one hand in a game but it's a good enough hand to get a solid second place overall.

Closed hon itsu with a ton triplet. Riichi, ippatsu, and ura 2 took this to baiman.

Oh, and Senpai.

Having a good ass bagel for breakfast.

Senpai with an everything bagel. The bagel is pretty much invisible under the salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and onion on top of it.

FE GBA weapon triangle tutorial text edited to say "Normal bests shitposting, Shitposting bests Aura, Aura bests Normal."

Maybe the most called out I've felt by a news article this year.

You might think of the dynamic here as something like rock-paper-scissors (or, if you're a dork, like the sword-axe-lance triangle of the Fire Emblem series).

Picture of a triangle where Acting Normal beats Aura Farming beats Shitposting loops back to Acting Normal.

Does this count as an Apollo's Dodgeball (or perhaps, bowling ball)?

Uma Musume Cinderella Gray x Round 1 Bowling collaboration campaign.

Probably not but I hope they bring this stateside, that would be funny.

My eyes are definitely starting (continuing, really) to go, but I can still find tiny missing plamo pieces which is what really counts.

A dinky little piece that goes on the Huckebein Mk-II's face that I spent half an hour searching for last night.

made a mockup for a comm idea I had, but the mockup is already so good I want to show it to people (but I won't, because that would ruin the joke later)
