We're in the final stretch of this year's fundraiser! We're 84% to our ultimate goal with 5 days left - it ends on Friday at 5pm EST. Snag Volume 2 of our official Secret Cabal Zine, coffee mug, challenge coin, and of course over 100 hours of gaming podcasts! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sec...

Finished the model months ago - finally found the motivation to get all the stickers on. All 17,000 of them.

I know you can’t buy happiness, but also:

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Wait, it’s Gundam day! How could I have almost forgotten 🫣 (if you didn’t know, dates are ordered YMD in Japan, so today is 2025.7.8 - 78 representing, well, RX-78-2)

Don't flip out! This tutorial goes into several details to ensure all your bases are covered, but you'll be able to teach this to friends in moments (and with confidence) once you know all the rules - so let's dive in and learn my most played game of 2025: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX9B...

No, I don't NEED Gundam chocolates, but do I want them? Well, yeah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkJD...

Teaching Carcasonne - with a dash of danger!

Evangelion. The gift that keeps on giving.

The latte art is progressing marvellously. Thanks for asking.

That trumpet! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu4k...

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Me oh my.

Gundam Assemble mini display 👀

Well, I've watched more anime this year than I ever have in my life. This wasn't hard, as Death Note was the only anime I had ever watched previously (and half a season of Avatar) - but still, this was a lot! Next up: continuing Gundam ZZ and going to start Neon Genesis Evangelion!

Christening a new espresso cup! 1/2

if you and you friends talked about horror movies when you were kids, this is that. and if you have a kid who likes talking about horror movies, this is that, too. at least it is for me.

Listen to his song! (if you know you know) Yes those speakers work in outer space. It’s physics!

I feel like I ALMOST had something there.

sometimes I do a podcast because it’s fun but sometimes I do a podcast because it’s *important*

The Beta release for the Gundam TCG is happening... but not where I live. 😢😢😢

A little progress update on my latest Gundam model assembly. First RG, and really enjoying so far. #gundam #gunpla

It was a delight to be able to gush about hobby-fun both inside and far (far) outside of board gaming. Tune in and join a celebration of deep-diving into newfound fun!

Here Come The Boy #Gundam #Gunpla

Started the Real Grade model, and loving the intricacies. Seven pieces for a portion of the foot and there are 2 points of articulation just in this small portion. The fiddly-ness of this is going to be a joy. Truly. It’s very satisfying how it goes together, and I’m in no rush. #gundam #gunpla

RG (Real Grade) models are a step up in sprue count. Oh my! 😍

One step forward, twenty-seven steps back.

First gunpla model I’ve fully stickered according to the instructions (last one I just did some stickers, and just threw my hands up in despair, ignoring the rest). That said, I enjoyed the process this time around, and it adds a lot visually. Fun build. Next up: my first Real Grade! #gundam #gunpla

It's Severance Season 2 launch day! Watched and thoroughly enjoyed. No spoilers in replies please. If you watched and enjoyed the opening song, may I recommend the entire album. Very pleased to have tracked it down recently, and to hear it featured at the start of the show was a real treat!

Ok, my GM is assembled! Very satisfying. Next up: applying a thousand microscopic stickers designed for ants. It’s fiddly, but the result is also pretty satisfying! Only a half a thousand left to go.

I don’t hate this. That’s a nice change.

Legless RGM-79 GM (EFF Mass-Produced Mobile Suit) says good morning. #gundam #gunpla

A little assembly happening today on my next little robot dude. Not sure he has enough rockets. This is the RGM-79 GM. But you already knew that. #gunpla #gundam

Finished the 6 part prequel series ("ah, so that's how the war started, and where those giant robots came from"). Now back to the original 1979 series. Up to episode 12 there. Enjoying.

Here is my onion that totally only wanted to be an onion and wasn’t trying to be a basic heart shape or anything like that.

Practice makes perfect… right?

A pac-man who really wanted to be a heart… but became a pac-man.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Which makes sense, cause only a Beholder would see beauty here.

An alien face-eating plant that was trying very hard to be a heart.

Finished my first HG RX-78-2 Gundam model. If you don’t know what any of that means, consider yourself perfectly normal. I didn’t know any of this gibberish 2 weeks ago either.

Mister Rogers never misses

Happy new year from this onion trying so hard to be a heart. Expect more coffee posts this year. And more aspirational onions.

Concur

About 45 pieces and 3 stickers make up this part of the model so far. This is the RX-78-2 The Origin model (for the fellow nerds who care)).

Assembling our first HG Gundam models. Quite a few more pieces. Tried a little panel lining this time around. Also, that sticker! So tiny.
