Arc raiders is the perfect example of that multiplayer game that becomes the entire zeitgeist overnight, and gets drastically less fun a week later after every aspect has been solved. It's always a blast, but do we really need years of dev time and $$$ budget EVERY time?
Anyway, I printed a leaper.

A weird but fun line. The shark and raptor are great, but imo they NEED painting.

The silver on the new iron warriors is actually pretty nice and well done, but you can tell that ate up the whole budget. Nothing a wash or three can't fix.

I found a github with all the old eve online ship models and printed some at 6" or so, but going even smaller is better cuase it's actually easier to paint them, and it makes battleships reasonably sized too. Did the navy issue livery, but I liked it so much I might do another one as a zealot.

The exclusive head looks like it fits better, but yeah, that one is super jarring. I feel like I have a place for both, but that head is making it a way harder choice than it would be otherwise.

Please understand that I'm saying this with love, but Venin reminds me of a dollar store knockoff from the 90s. Cheap plastic, garish colors, and a silly weapon. Vibes.

Battlestar posting continues: I figured I'd print a couple ships scaled off the eaglemoss galactica, and uh, I'm kinda seeing why they made everything the same size in the first place. The valkyrie is supposed to be the same size as galactica's flight deck? Cmonnnn

I kinda got seaspray on a whim, but he's really nice. Also, i love it when an altmode has silly head articulation where it probably shouldn't.

Somehow, I managed to search through a dozen models, pick, but and download this one, cut it to fit my print plate, test slice it to check supports, and print it -
before I realized it was the viper from the 1970s series and not the 2000s reboot 🤡🤡🤡

I feel you, I missed a handful of acts I actually really wanted to see this year cuase there's just so much BS involved. But yeah, I was not familiar with their game.

I was gonna skip it, but I ended up seeing green day last week on a whim. Turns out they're great live! They did some really great crowd work, and played most of American Idiot, an album I've gotta admit is a foundational text for me.

Kind of case by case, but I'd say great overall. Shimo has loose joints that can be a problem if you're trying to stand her upright, but all the other recent ones are pretty much flawless. They've sort of between NECA and shma? Chonky, but great articulation without the fiddly bits.

I respect marvel rivals for how direct their marketing is. Every month, it's another marvel lady, even more shredded than the last, front and center. Every single person in the equation knows what they're about.

I got two teeth extracted a couple days ago, and the longer I go without being able to eat solids, the closer I get to becoming a guy with Strong Opinions about protein shakes.
