Today is "which of the several pieces of hardware is failing in my computer so I can fix it" day. 🫠

Prototype Nendoroid Tomie has been unveiled and the sculptor somehow translated Junji Ito's disturbing body horror style into a Nendo that's simultaneously cute *and* nightmare-inducing. 😱

In Carcadia, there's a mission called "Fault Hunting". The boss there drops it! (I don't want to spoil anything; no BB references in the story but it's a cool side mission!)

Now that Borderlands 4 is out, I have my new banner up at #RedRiverComicCon in Ardmore, OK! Although separated, the Psycho is definitely eyeing Claptrap for some extreme dismantling...

He's actually (kind of) in BL4! There were two lines of dialogue where he fit *perfectly*, so I put him there for folks to find. You just gotta listen for him hidden under the pitch shift! 😊💚

I have a new convention print coming, "Beach Trash Party!", illustrated by @commodorepompadour.bsky.social! It's exactly what I wanted!

These two lived in my head for over a year while recording on #Borderlands 4, so they deserve to have some fun! Although… I don't think either of them can swim. 🤔

Claptrap and Psycho Ripper from Borderlands 4, both wearing children's pool floaties, run toward the water together for a beach party!

But you are a *great* director, Joel– no matter how much you suck at actually playing Borderlands.

Hey folks! Due to my regular store's lack of a #Borderlands4 midnight launch (new mall rules, I think? 🤔) and a full schedule on Friday, I will now be at the Parks At Arlington GameStop this *Saturday*, 9/13, from 11am-2pm! Come on by and say, "HELLOOOOO BEACH TRASH!"

Karin had lunch with a friend at Bonton Farms today and took some time to visit the goats. (I kind of want to make a phone notification out of this. 😆🐐)

Hey Apothecary Diaries fam! Accented Cinema did a really fun video examining all of the details in the show with historical info!

(His channel is great, by the way. 😃)

Accented Cinema @accentedcinema.bsky.social · Aug 29

The Apothecary Diaries is a Japanese anime set in a fictional world heavily inspired by dynastic China. That means, being a Chinese dude of the pedantic type, I can't help but look into every bit of detail to see just Chinese it actually is. So, here are my findings.

You can now hear me in #DetectiveConan on Netflix as New York detective and Kudo family friend, Radish Redwood!

My *first ever* English dub role was on this show in 2003 (as a gold-digging husband), so a big, heartfelt thank you to Studio Nano and TMS Entertainment for having me back! 😊💖

It's that time of year again! The day I look back on my 16 year-long advertising career collapsing around me 😱 and how I transformed myself into a full-time voice actor. 😊

NOTE: In the past, Hasbro legal prevented me from using "transformed" as a verb in copy but ha ha I'M DOIN IT NOW

An elm sphinx moth visited us this morning, knocking our house off the foundation and setting off car alarms for miles.
