“Make Ginrai your bias character,” I thought back in 1999. “Surely that will never consume a ton of money and space.” Good call, Teenage Me. You couldn’t have picked like Daiatlas or Pounce & Wingspan or something. 😖

The info on the back of Godbomber’s box is, kind of surprisingly, really interesting. It talks about the character, but also about how and why the extensive changes were made from the original toy. Whoever wrote it seems genuinely proud of how this is a good figure on its own, not just armor.

Very pleased that this Lorcana starter deck that was on sale for like $7 had pretty much every character I could want a card of. 😃

Happy Pride! Day 28

MPG Godbomber is the chonkiest Transformer I have ever beheld. The chonk is off the heckin scales!

Well, MPG-14 Godbomber comes in a box that is way the fuck bigger than I was expecting it to.

My adult psyche: What do we do when something on the news makes us sad or upset? Me: *sigh* put in PIN number to confirm purchase My adult psyche: …could be worse…

At this point, anybody who has the opportunity to stop him and doesn’t take it is complicit.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Happy Pride! Day 27

Movie you’ve watched more than 6 times using gifs (no sw, st, or lotr)

Pre-ordered Titan Star Convoy (AKA Star Optimus Prime) and Studio Series Megatron. Absent an MPG Fort Max, I intend for these to be the last new Transformers I ever buy.

You could take all the characters from Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, file off all the serial numbers, switch around a few details, and wind up with like six of the Final Fantasy games.

If there isn’t an autobiography from Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, or Tony Iommi called “How Black was my Sabbath” what are we even doing?

Man, EarthSpark deserved more attention.

Happy Pride! Day 27

There is no fuckin god, there are humans and there aren’t rank or grade. Human is human everyone has should have equal rights and there aren't any people who are priority and speorior.

Nonexistent tourist sites. Ghibli slop. Fake disasters. Propagandists have always spread disinformation about Japan. Now, AI is making it ten times worse. We look at the impact and how, in some cases, it can even put people's lives in danger. #japan

Happy Pride! Day 26

Movie you've watched more than six times using a GIF. No franchises, sequels, reboots.

My Doctor Who prediction is as follows Billie Piper isn’t the next Doctor, but rather Rose from the alternate universe. She brings the Meta Crisis Doctor back to the regular universe. Yada, Yada, Yada Rose helps 14 regenerate…into Ncuti Gatwa

I love this. The idea of how cringe we’d feel meeting our younger selves and how overwhelmed our younger selves would be seeing us now. youtu.be/ixTcCJ-Ti5g?...

Got the shipping notification for MPG Godbomber! It’s happening!

Gorgeous!!!

I’ve been asked a few times across my various socials some variation of “what’s up with all the Trans Rights are Human Rights” stuff I stick on all my YouTube videos (and the “happy Pride!” toy photos I’ve been doing. That that is absolutely fair enough. So, here’s my answer 1/3
