In case I forgot to mention it, I wrote a four-part Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign as a memorial to the cat that I lost to cancer on May 5, 2023. And there's just 12 hours left to back "The Eternal Legend of Cat Cat" on Kickstarter. Be part of her legend.

It's scary how good AI has gotten at replicating the voice acting from Last Alert for the TurboGrafx-CD.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

To experience a wild difference of opinion, watch Jeremy's DuckTales video, then go dig up Chrontendo's old coverage of the game (it's in episode 49).
(Jeremy's right about it, by the way.)

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means that today I have published my annual "this one's an all-timer" Thanksgiving Eve video retrospective. This time it's Disney's DuckTales for NES: youtu.be/nhS7pn7oXsw

I decided to pretty up the Blokees Evangelion model I put together a couple weeks ago. Specifically, by adding a bit of paint to the stark white buildings it came with.
This was my first time trying to do some real model painting, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out!

I'm always down to sit around and nerd out with Bill, my goodness.
I sound like I'm underwater (I had to chuck my podcasting equipment after my basement apartment flooded), but @whimsicalphil.bsky.social was kind enough to sit with me last night to wax nostalgic about Thanksgiving while we watched 80's Macy's Thanksgiving segments & commercials last night:

The Blokees Evangelion model ended up being more involved than I originally thought (it's not a complicated build, but there were more parts then I assumed), but the end result looks pretty darn rad.

One of the neat things about owning a 3D printer is having a really stupid idea in the middle of the night, popping online and discovering that someone else had the same stupid idea and did something about it.
