Kate suggested Hotel PVP.

Friendly Neighborhood Otaku Dennis @ichnob.bsky.social · 20h

Okay, MagFest needs a hotel battle royale inspired name then. Time to brainstorm.

Friendly Neighborhood Otaku Dennis @ichnob.bsky.social · 20h

Anyway, this is a humble brag to say...

See you in Atlanta next year for Dragon Con!

Some pop-culture conventions have been referring to their difficult hotel registration process with punny or nerdy names. It still does not help the sting for folks who don't get in

San Diego Comic Con = Hotelpocalypse

Dragon Con = Hotel Hunger Games

Is there a third one? We need a third one.

And then I went back to this long-shelved Gunpla, my clear color RG Nu Gundam. Finally started adding some holo water slides from Delpi. Maybe I'll finish by late this year.

Nu Gundam shield and hyper bazooka with the main decals put on. Will likely add more once I see what's leftover.

Nu Gundam beam skirt section and beam rifle with water slide decals added.

Nu Gundam torso with water slide decals added.

Discord craft night with friends. It's been a hot minute since I've done a chill craft night, so it was great! First up was Bloktus, a 3D printed model kit by Indie Toy. Gonna need some cleanup, but it's really cute. Bought it at SDCC.

Galactus inspired mini model kit called Bloktus, 3D printed with dual colored filaments to be connected on a single runner.

Completed Bloktus with included skateboard! It does not roll.

Look who’s trying to make a comeback at NYCC after getting forced out of DragonCon…

This is also how I'm telling folks to watch Kare Kano, even though they only have the dub up. Something is better than nothing.

I see people asking how can ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel while Disney streams an anti authoritarian series like Andor and as always the creatives at Disney are more progressive than the corporate hacks in charge and stop lumping in the writers and artists with Bob Iger’s bad political decisions

My brother, my cousins, and me. We never did beat this game.

At my house it was either Street Fighter II Championship Edition, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, or Smash Bros. Melee.

Aya, heavily shadowed, is cornering her friends to do something for her

Aya depicting herself as a little demon with how much trouble she got into as a child, while always blaming her best friend Rika.

Infinity Train pt 1 seen! Didn't have time to eat dinner before this nearly 3 hour movie plus trailers, so we ended up sneaking in some things from Mitsuwa. Thought it was appropriate. (I still bought popcorn & a drink)

Soy-based black pepper beef onigiri from Mitsuwa.

Going to my first in person Dodgers game later this week in nearly a decade, and I'm going with some old high school friends. Could use a good mental break of sports endorphins, because watching the Bears play ain't cutting it.
