Visiting my big Lego build while my mom's in town. Still looks good.

Tron: Ares was fun. Compact, actiony, easter eggy, got right to it, left it open for more within the universe. As a life long fan, and despite the main star, it was enjoyable.

Going to do this again in December. If you're in Austin I hope you can make it. @austinbeerworks.bsky.social #lego #afol #atx #texlug

Guess I'll have to get the rest of the microfighters done by then.

I love me some folk, but sometimes singer/songwriters have really anemic lyrics. I joke with my wife that it's four lines repeated for 5 minutes and that pop singles are often more lyrically dense. Then I realize it's just depends on the artist. Jesse Welles is amazing. BNL is also amazing.

Yeah, Studio is pretty great. Not perfect, but very intuitive.

Ben Rollman @bensbrickdesigns.bsky.social · 1d

So far the rumors are 3 sets, 587pcs, 2050pcs, and 6838pcs, so yeah that would put it in 7th all time. Everyone's thinking a set of all 3 buildable starters.

Congrats to my lovely wife @bbraz1981.bsky.social for passing her LCSW license exam. I need her to sugar mommy up so I can quit my job and continue my LEGO habit.

If only pressing the button made it so.😀

I want the gold and teal classic space minifigures. On BrickLink they are $30+SH, so closer to $40. The Vending Machine set is $180 and I don't necessarily want all those other figures. I also don't have a BL sellers acct to get rid of them later. Not sure how long to wait on this.

I believe it. I got a new GPU and it renders static 100pc sets in about 30 seconds, haven't tried an animation yet.

I've met a lot of wonderful LEGO builders. I've met and worked with a lot of wonderful illustrators, comic book artists, and writers. Hopefully someone sees my work and responds with "I was inspired by..." It's not a zero sum game.

Not a bad phone camera.

I don't know why there's so much shuffling noise, I'm just holding the camera. Is it picking up air movement? :D

I gave my Q2 model to a LUG friend who added lights to it. I wish I had this skill/knowledge. @mls.bsky.social #austinfc

Part 53 in what will be a long running series of microfighters I feel LEGO should be doing, I give you the Gozanti-class light cruiser. LEGO did one called Imperial Assault Carrier. Included some renders of it holding AT-ATs and TIEs. It will technically hold AT-AT microfighters.

I wonder if making the playoffs will have an effect on them mentally. I get the last game was hangover from the cup game, but I get the sense they were holding on too hard and nothing was flowing right.

It's Monday which is an in office day, but all I wanna do is go home and play Ghost of Yotei.

If you aren't a Corridor Crew fan, don't worry, you just have to watch this one video. It's a wonderful mix of history and modern tools.

I have a bad habit of looking at the moon in movies or TV or video games and saying "That's wrong" because it would put the story in the wrong location or time of day. It's madness of my own making but I wish more people were aware of it.
