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.

You gotta zoom in a little but I got it.

Senpai in the lower half of an S in the word BEST. A big box electronics and home appliance store is also in this conference center this week, it seems.

New Tales Of game lookin a lil different

It really is as easy as taking your pen, drawing down the lines or wherever else, and wiping away the excess.

Sometimes I'll also take a toothpick and really thin out the lines, too.

close but not quite

DOCTOR HELL of Mazinger Z (TV anime, Toei, 1972-1974) asks "Dirk Darf,what are you doing?" Or maybe it's BARON ASHURA, cut off but still visible right behind him, posing the question.

Saw this tumblr post and it's funny but I can't stop thinking about how "derf" sounds like a made-up word I would have seen on those old HK bootleg Mazinger Z subtitles.

Just saw the word "underfed" written down and spent a good ten seconds trying to imagine what the state of being "derfed" could possibly be, and how one would go about undoing it, before it clicked.

"WW1 soldiers were underfed" fuck man... Not only they sent them off to a war, but then they took their derf away too?? Fucked up

Assembled/painted: HGAW Gundam X Divider

I've built this one before, but I'm glad I gave it another go, completed it to my satisfaction this time. I did skip the bazooka but I got all the details on the other weapons!

All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku is probably exactly what you want. The OVA and first TV show are great! Dash is pretty bad, though.

Unironically tho, only reason I signed up to do this in person is so they'd feed me.

Gespenst @ Home @callgespenst.bsky.social · 1d

Worse still! I was rushing out the door and forgot to put my oshi in my backpack and I saw a superb, limited-time-only potential photo spot just earlier. Hopefully it'll still be there tomorrow.

They're definitely providing lunch but I had been banking on breakfast too so I'm extra hungry this morning.

I'd be less miffed if I hadn't walked past several other events in the same space as the one I'm attending that -are- providing at least snacks of some kind.

To be true, the path of a straight-builder is a much happier one. Less money, less space required, less time spent, and most importantly! Fewer harmful chemicals involved.

Not quite perfect, but not too bad, either, I'll take it.

Painted Beam Harmonica with a few splotches of gray where they shouldn't be here and there.

None other than the Beam Harmonica, yeah.

My vote is definitely upstairs.

Did you get/are you planning to make a bar to go with? I respect nobar players but man, i just can't do it.

On a semi-related note, have you ever heard 'Weird Al' Yankovic's "Waffle King"? It's one of his stylistic parodies, and in his usual visionary fashion, Al managed to write about Posting Through It before the advent of Posting Through It.

do NOT let the transphobes appropriate waffles, they deserve nothing good in this world and that includes all manner of breakfast foods and other tasty treats.
