This feels like a much more serious version of the way I used to write "Grimlock" on weekly shopping lists...

tl;dr TFN didn't go great and I've also been lured into the Gundam TCG, so I need to sell kits that I'm unlikely to build anytime soon. Most exclusives came from the US P-Bandai store via a friend, I haven't scalped the Gundam Base popup! Stuff crossed out and/or not listed is already sold.

That makes a lot more sense! If I didn't live near-ish to the Gundam Base popup I wouldn't have been able to get most of the starters, and some of the singles are selling for more than RRP of a box at the moment... Only started playing a week ago myself.

Weird thinking of anything with the starter deck cards as a "budget" deck at the moment seeing how hard they are to get and stupid aftermarket pricing but nice to see wins from an LR free deck all the same!

Something a bit different - will be listing up some Gundam kits (or Gunpla, if you're cool) for sale shortly. Probably some Games Workshop Warhammer stuff soon too.

Having pieced together parts for repairing my own Lioconvoy a while back, I might have the mane bits you need but it could be a while before I'm able to check.

I'm looking for stories about how AI is killing creative work, and I'd love to hear from you—artists, writers, illustrators, actors, designers, editors, voice actors and narrators—if your job or practice has been hit. This is going to be a big one.

So whole I applied as soon as I heard applications were open, it seems like I didn't hear about them until it was too late to have had any chance of actually getting a spot :/

G-Works Toys @gworks.bsky.social · Sep 5

Rejected from TFN Reading minicon again, that's... Three rejections in a row now. And this one I'm pretty sure I applied for in the first day applications opened. Not sure what I'm supposed to do differently to get a table nowadays.

Sadly I can absolutely believe it.

I was about to say after the first post, I'm sure I was paid that much for Eikaiwa teaching in Kyoto... But then that was nearly 20 years ago 😅

Need people to stop throwing every single media property into a 60 fps AI upscaler and uploading it to YouTube because the results never look good and it’s all operating under the weird gamer-based idea that, actually, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is better at 60 fps because more frames means smooth

UK based art chums, I've a 1st gen Wacom One tablet I don't need. It was with a friend who has since returned it.

It's working & free to a good home, rather than the quickest to see this getting it. Email tillallarefunATgmailDOTcom subject WACADAY. I'll pick a winner at random on 8/9/25.

Just a quick follow-up to this - everything is packed and the shipping purchased. Just needs to be collected!

G-Works Toys @gworks.bsky.social · Aug 22

So just as I thought I was recovering okay, I managed to fall down the stairs this morning 🫠

I'm alright but this is getting ridiculous and I'd like it to stop please. Will hopefully get things packed and shipped over the long weekend.

G-Works Toys @gworks.bsky.social · Aug 19

Just a quick update - I managed to get sick on the way back from TFNation and am still not doing super great, which is why people's preorders haven't shipped yet - even before the COVID pandemic I'd have been unwilling to ship people stuff while coughing all over it, apologies.

That's just via the Etsy store system right now, right? It seems like we can still ship stuff but they are changing the business backend... 🤦 this is really going to screw up a big launch I had planned though.

What feels like an absolutely timeless sentiment and could be aimed at any number of things going on right now.

An ink and coloured marker sketch of the transformers character Hot Rod. We see the upper torso and face, it is based on the toy not his cartoon/comic model. He has a sullen look on his face and there is a speech balloon with the words "For fucks sake boys!" to the left of the image
