Two more kits for the pile. I got lucky on the Ixchel and received a first run version (has a special base and gun) and the other is a rather unlicensed Godzilla/Gundam

Probably waiting until the end of the week to finish this one up, my STG lineup is nearly complete…

Xenoblade 2 Siren: honestly a bit of a disappointment. It’s very fragile all over, the extended arms are locked in position, the gold pieces are a cheap looking matte, and there’s very little posing available outside of the legs. I want more Xenoblade stuff but I hope it’s higher quality next time.

Used the Steam sale to pick up some games I’ve been meaning to get to Sifu is pretty fun so far! It’s sluggish but the homages are great, and I guess we’ll see if it’s a good idea to play master for my first time through. Also I had to enable vsync to stop it from doing 450fps & maxing my GPU lol

Eva 01 awakened looming over 01 and 02 all spooky like It’s a regular Kotobukiya kit so it’s not nearly as nice and detailed as the other two that are RG kits. I want the whole set of RGs but I’ve heard Bandai isn’t making them anymore so I guess I’ll have to hunt slowly and hope for reprints

This is only my second Gundam HG ever (I started deeper in the swimming pool than I should’ve and never went back), so its a surprise again how easy and fast they are. I do love this design tho, so I’m awaiting a bigger, more detailed version

Got this package in the other day: Gundam GQuuuuuuX, DoDonPachi, both Ikaruga ships in white, and my first Titanomachia! My last Good Smile kit was from Horizon, and while it’s an awesome looking kit the hips were too tight and one broke trying to put it in. I’m hoping they’ve improved since then.

Reposed him to friendly waving in the dock, still need to arrange the weapons to be in the supports. Shows everything off a bit better. Also, the wireless lighting system is so cool to me, I’ve never seen anything like it before!

Done. Sort of. I need to reconfigure this whole thing, because even though I love that it’s holding the most massive sword of any of my models, it’s also crazy unwieldy and I lose some of the charm of having a banger bay. I am thankfully surprised that all the wiring went well and the lights work

This kit let me put together a sword that is literally twice the size of the mech and I have discarded all previous posing plans

So that Alkaid model kit I got came with this cute sticker sheet, and apparently uses a wireless magnetic coil lighting system. I’m interested to see how this actually works in practice

Spotify: “Great music, you’re really mature for your age.”

Two new model kits have arrived. The three brown boxes go togther and at 64 runners will be the most complex model I’ve ever done. The other kit has a light up dock base that I thought looked cool. I’ve been starting to have a backlog so I’m really looking forward to getting back into these.

Ninja Gaiden 4: Revengeance is so good, I’m absolutely obsessed! I’m playing on hard and it’s so unrelenting at every opportunity, really interested to see how master ninja is. The enemies are great, bosses fantastic, and controls are perfect. I was excited but it still managed to exceed my hopes

Borderlands 4 is really fun and has some great guns, and I’m surprised at how well the scaling works for coop of various levels. That said, the performance problems are insane and the plethora of terrible charge weapons means half the loot is auto-dismantle. I also forgot BL does RNG hit reg, bleh

Seeing the Megazord form up in Fortnite made me realize I want to see a Voltron/PR/etc. game where each player controls their own animal, and then when they form together each player is independently responsible for their own limb. Watching people just try to walk would be absolute chef’s kiss

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound first ending complete. It’s good but not great. Everything is solid but there’s little issues all over the place: too much camera zoom, hypercharge, timed platforming; there’s a lot that didn’t feel Ninja Gaiden-y but I liked the throwbacks and bouncing off heads was fun

In 1992 I would go to the drug store and look at the shareware to try new games. Wolfenstein 3D was the one that I balked on because I didn’t trust the screenshot. There’s no way a game could actually play like that! It was probably turn based. After like a week I got it and that game blew my mind

Raiden has arrived, completing my desired Metal Gear Solid shelf! …at least until they announce a rerelease of Venom Snake

GODZILLA

Sora the Explorer

Trying out different heads today

Testing out a brush pen, I’ve never used one before. I wasn’t able to really take advantage of it but I can see the potential

More notepad scribbles

It’s been more years than I can think of since I did any art. I think it’s time to start getting back into it

Got two of the new skins for the Guardian, the blackout looks really nice but they forgot to apply the decals of burnout to the base & QI models, I hope they fix that

Just watching a bunch of railguns tear up a Polaris, good times

An amazing thread on some of the corporate vector art design beginning with Wipeout and leading up to Marathon x.com/poellll/stat...

I know that Star Citizen’s Invictus Week is for combat ships so there’s like no chance for this, but I’m really hoping the Mercury goes on sale again because I love the design (Yes, I know it’s also not meta for anything, I want my chunky cargo boi regardless)

The sets look good but I’m a little sad they went Empire two collabs in a row I want some Kenobi robes on my warlock please and thank you

I love space games. I love dogfighting. I love finally having a setup that feels so good

I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick! (I have no clue how I survived)

And now I can have a backlog again

At last, I finally own famous Metal Gear protagonists Solid Snake and Raiden …close enough

Finally got to boot up the Marathon alpha, realized part of why the art design screamed 90s to me is because it’s so Syndicate-esque

After like a week of dealing with constant KOS players in Star Citizen’s checkmate area (basically extraction), I finally ran into a group of friendlies this morning Just three of us randoms vibing along to the dungeon, killing AI and anyone who tried to KOS us. It was great

YO LET’S GOOOOO

Months ago I bought a 4K copy of Ghost in the Shell off Amazon and today I took it off the shelf and immediately realized I had bought the wrong region For the heck of it I decided to try and play it anyway and realized that only the regular Blu-ray is region locked and the 4K works just fine

1. Small issue with spawning ships 2. I always love it when everyone just keeps walking through the same door

HENSHIN

Can’t decide what to play next •Horizon Zero Dawn •Death Stranding •Granblue Fantasy Relink •Final Fantasy XVI It’s a good problem to have

Star Citizen: took a mission to clear out a ship. Got close and they shot off my engines but didn’t destroy my ship, so I climbed out and floated for 20 minutes through space to get to the target. Wiped all of them out and then stole a 300i from the client to get back home Made them all regret me

Tried to play DariusBurst, but apparently its speed is tied to framerate and I’m running it at 576fps so this is what happens

Same energy

Uhh you okay over there?

Today on MonHun Wilds: My health is getting low I should probably use a potion before Guardian Rathalos hits me oh god why am I sitting down OH NO PORTABLE BBQ GRILL WAS SELECTED

Next model on the list is Tastier. This one looks pretty good too and I somehow got a first run version that comes with a coat But no, between Lizard and Tastier I don’t get what’s going on with Hemoxian’s naming decisions

Backpack complete! Lizard is just so damn cool Bonus: the pile of trash in the bottom right that from nearly every single piece having to get cleaned up

A tale of sadness in two pics
