Oh, well played, @tombraider.com.

Lara's right pistol looks just like a Remington R1 Enhanced - one of Roth's pistols. Her left is a traditional Colt design, like she used in TLR (and also Shadow!)

So the over-the-top care for detail I adore survives into Catalyst!

Merch I wish was real: accurate replicas of Lara's safari shirt from the beginning of Shadow. As far as I can tell after seven years of occasional searching, it doesn't exist as a prototype the way the radios etc do.

I mean it would look terrible on me, but still.

Of course there's this controller... but only two of it, IIRC. I'd obviously like something a little more attainable!

Here's the print I finished yesterday after the most recent rebuild of my printer; the "Ceremonial Pipe" relic from Shadow. It's an interesting object in the game, but this was also a test of printing in-game objects essentially unedited. There are very few I could print this way - but this was one!

Look, I'm not saying Tomb Raider 2013 is gay; I'm just noting the fact that ever since Lara carried Sam down a mountain in something that would appear to western eyes to be a wedding dress; that there's been a double rainbow floating over Yamatai.

Ok just this once I'll do the chain letter.

Here's my lock screen!

Mwahahahaha! The complete @tombraider.com Art Book collection, all together! It's amazing how thick the Art of Survival is, considering it's a paperback. There's a lot of beautiful content here!

Can anyone fact check me - is this all the published Art Books for the survivor timeline? And yes, this got away from me rather.

You might call my research tonight "Booze Raider". Unrelatedly, I also enjoyed a glass of Poitín while reading. As far as I can tell, there's no published concept art for the things I found. That's fun! Please enjoy some beer and rum (concept art) in the meantime.

Weird obsessive question of the day: What's Lara's sleep cycle? Because we've seen her up after dark several times in a British spring or autumn, but there's no way she's that fit without some kind of sane and stable circadian rhythm.

Seriously I could probably make this a full time career from the project workload alone.

My to-do list is really long. So is this braided leather cord.

When I put both the pins I ordered together you can see how small the difference is. But, it's enough to go from "perfect scale on the lighter" to "hanging off all four sides".

Jigglypuff, when the others slept.

Hello there, Cosplay Monarchy! A web reference and my gut instinct is "Epoxy Resin". But before I pull out the Araldite I thought I'd check in with the experts. Is that the move?

Today's post: a US Army Air Force pin replica.

Now I'm picturing Jean-Luc standing there in full thespian mode telling Dathon the story of Satoshi and MewTwo at New Island. Why did you do this?

Surprise bonus update! I took "Lara's SatNav" out for a walk, and got a GPS signal and fix! Looking at the data it's about a kilometre or two "wrong". Which is interesting, that's not a failure mode I was expecting.
December 28, 2024 at 2:05 PM
Final update on my random playing with Lara's Rise of the Tomb Raider iPaq. Most GPS software I've found is borked, but I DID get ArcPad running. Current problem is that I can't get a signal on the GPS sleeve - probably age related, I've never been able to get my laptop's GPS to work either.
December 28, 2024 at 12:40 AM
Oh DANG! My rebuilt iPaq works, AND I was able to find an old copy of the NavMan GPS drivers! I have no idea if the GPS sleeve actually works, but now I can find out!
December 27, 2024 at 10:38 PM
Hey quick help request. Does anyone know how to get ArcGIS data onto an iPaq PocketPC in 2024? I found a video of an archaeologist using one c. 2015, but nothing more recent.
December 27, 2024 at 8:25 PM
Ok, I confess my sins. Buying myself "Christmas presents" is pretty gauche. But when it's books like these four, can you REALLY blame me? 🪦🧗🏹📚📚
December 23, 2024 at 6:45 PM
Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That is all. (For NOW...)
