Oh! Right! Here I am advertising myself as a proper scalie and I haven't even shown off my OC properly.

... largely because it's months later and I still only have first draft sketches, no alternate poses, and I'm not very... y'know *good* in general.

But FWIW, here I be:

Omega's scale-sona. A spiky green bipedal lizard with a lighter yellow underbelly. He is wearing a modified protogen helmet / visor.

I just really wanted the square wheels. Everything else is a bonus

For sure, although they have been able to compromise and go as a group a few times. They've done Meg's idea, but all got something different out of it (Tony mostly stayed at the hotel, for example).

The most common group vacation is Viktor's camping - they all seem to enjoy that for the most part.

The story isn't set on earth, but they have similar locations. So they would be vacationing in their equivalent of:

Meg: New Orleans during Mardi Gras
Tony: Akihibara
Dr. T: Amazon rainforest
Jez: Cruise ship
Viktor: Camping in the pacific northwest

See this is why genAI is bullshit - never in a million years could the hallucinating theft machine come up with anything nearly as bat-nuts insane as this. What a timeline.

Omega Lairon @omega-lairon.bsky.social · 2d

Meg: zero effort cosplay of herself
Tony: not really his thing, might buy some silver face paint and go as a Terminator
Dr. T: not interested, but buys a "slutty nurse" costume for private use
Jez: buying period authentic dresses and props to make a super cool witch outfit
Viktor: ...it's Halloween?

Literally the only news I care about coming out of America are obituaries

Aw man... "Amyku" was right there : p

Either a cassowary, or a red kangaroo. They're both basically giant balls of muscle and rage, and speedy as f*** for a quick retreat if needed.

Really we should be going by the rules of geometry, so the bases would be 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. Simple.

Or you could go by clock rules - 3rd base, 12th base, 9th base and back to 6th

Huh, I don't know why I thought this was an N64 exclusive. Neat.

Biffo, my guy, you cannot be walking around town carrying a baggie of your shaved-off pubes. The judge was very clear on that point, okay.

... why do you even need... actually, no, I don't want to know.

"Ask your doctor to prescribe [x]" was one of the wildest culture shocks i had over there too. And that was even after having been told about it and seeing it on YT.

That and, watching a daytime edit of Super Troopers. "Licence and registration, chicken_______!" : p

I modelled him loosely on David Harbour as Red Guardian. Imposing, stern, *amazing* beard, but a sweet teddy bear underneath.

Within an hour of getting stranded, he'd already have a fire and basic lean-to set up, and be starting on the log stockpile. Within a week, we'd have a luxurious cabin.

For every 10,000 flights or so, a random airplane should be selected to use the emergency slides for the passengers to disembark after an otherwise safe landing. As a special treat.

She initially sees herself as more of a "punisher of villains" than a "helpful do-gooder". She gets better over time, though.

There's also the practical self interest - "it might be far away, I might not have enough energy for a passenger". At which point, she might just forget i was in peril : /

The smart-ass answer is "Meg would just fly us home right away". Although realistically, unless I was already her friend, it's even odds that she'd just bugger off without me : /

So the correct answer is Viktor, and it's not even close. He's the only one in the group with outdoor survival skills.

Surprisingly solid Genesis platformer, TBH. If you play as Donald, it almost sounds like he drops an F-bomb any time he gets hurt.

Paint some red panels with white edging on that armour and you've got Mass Effect.

Look, they're even doing the iconic Mass Effect elevator scene! : p

That new SNES JRPG book getting dragged all over social for its overwhelming crappiness is an inspiration.

If the "author" of that can have the balls to publish, then I should have the balls to start on my dumb book. Can't possibly be any worse.

Holy cow! A Soul Reaver demo disc! Nice!

...and Gex 3 is there too, I guess

That's partially why I decided to pave my early access save and start over - if I get dumpstered en route to the second boss, it's not my fault! "I'm out of practice! The patches changed too much! I can't be expected to get far, I haven't even unlocked [redacted] yet!"

Omega Lairon @omega-lairon.bsky.social · 6d

Definitely! It's a big contributor to her conscious and subconscious self destructive tendencies. She justifies her choices through defiance ("I go out on my own terms!") and depression ("There's no point, just delaying the inevitable..."), all hidden behind a seemingly uncaring facade.

Tony on the other hand *hates* sleeping, seeing it as a waste of time and a disgusting necessity. However, he's able to alter his sleep cycle through what is essentially prescription amphetamines, enabling him to go months without sleep... and then needing a full week of hibernation at the end of it
