I did the surface memento, Gurr the Outcast, the Crawfather, and the flea festival in one sitting and I think that was probably *less* psychic damage than watching the Game Awards in real time

Chicken parm with sauce so thick you can scoop it with a fork and cheese so dense you canโ€™t see the chicken ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I think on normal plastic theyโ€™re just way too fussy compared to water slides. On coated parts, though? Absolute best possible option

I wish they were less of a pain to DIY

If youโ€™re staying in a hotel, can a vampire entire your room?

If not, when is a vampire forced to leave? Check-in? When you enter the room? When you sleep for the first time there?

I think itโ€™s when you open your suitcase and put even one item in a non-storage location

See, I think owning a thing does not make that your *home*. Home-ness is the only rule that matters for a vampire, not legal rules

For instance, a tenant could allow a vampire in but I think a landlord could not. These are essence rules, not fairy legalities

โ€œHome is where you lay your head at nightโ€ is a necessary but not sufficient definition of home, IMO. If thereโ€™s no one sleeping there, the vampire can keep working

I raise you: What happens if someone starts squatting in the incomplete building?

Non-booth photo, but thatโ€™s construction complete on this one

Loved it beginning to end. Absolutely stellar and one of the best high grades Iโ€™ve built. Everything is just SO well done

Next kit: HG D Gundam First

I wanted something straightforward (and Bandai) after the Thunderbolt 2.0. No painting, no water slides, just a nice build

Letโ€™s see if itโ€™s as good as everyone says it is!

This is what Iโ€™ve got instead

Shockingly, it canโ€™t kneel, squat, crouch, or lunch. The legs are quite stiff and articulation is much more limited than I expected it to be

I donโ€™t think itโ€™ll fit in the photo booth but Iโ€™ll try tomorrow

This is the pose I wanted to do, but to my knowledge there arenโ€™t any foot anchors. I spent over a month building this, so Iโ€™m not gonna balance it precariously where a little floor wobble will throw it to the ground

Iโ€™ve also done the version where you plug your ears with your thumbs and tap the crown of your head with your middle fingers, but I couldnโ€™t find a video reference for that one

Subnautica is too wet for torches

Possibly Starbound? Itโ€™s been a long time since Iโ€™ve played it and I canโ€™t remember if there were like, space torches

Recently? Citizen Sleeper and 1000xRESIST, easily. I still think about both all the time

If you want something chunkier, Armored Core 6 is immaculate

If you want more of a party-based RPG, thereโ€™s the classic Star Ocean: Second Story or Final Fantasy VI
