There’s something about getting into a series, meeting lovely people via its fandom, and finding hyperfixations in it during a time when the world feels hostile and your brain isn’t in a good place

Have fun, and say hello to Malevola for me!

Results: I played well in every game and earned a 4-1 record! But since my loss came in the first round, my strength-of-victory was lowered... and I finished in 5th place, one spot out of earning a prize card.

Conclusion: I'm proud of my own efforts, but disappointed that they went unrewarded...

Thanks, Chiitan

I'll bid $745.

I'll bid $450.

I was looking forward to having Machine God Rayearth on my shelf, and the accessories and effect parts are beautiful! But this kit might be destined for the recycle bin before it's even fully built.

I'm reminded of the aggressively MAGA roastery on the edge of town that everyone agrees serves the worst coffee, but they get by because miserable people would rather drink miserable brew together than risk having something good served to them by a person with blue hair.

I'll see if I can look up the menu online, because I'm never going to eat there myself, lmao
