Looking good! Curious to see where Sailor Tuxedo fits in.

Did the dipshit(s) who wrung this game through the ChatGPT wringer have it do vibe-coding work, too? Because otherwise, I have no idea how this word salad would've gotten missed.

That would be cool!

Predictably, Pombon. XD Though I'm very curious as to what Geqcua is going to evolve into.

A humanoid Pokemon that resembles the classic image of the bride.

A feminine humanoid Pokemon with lilac skin and indigo hair/"clothes".

Belated cross-post of Bridiar and Psychmin, two more Fakemon derived from That Goddamn ROMHack.

Bridiar ("bride"+"briar"+"dire") is loosely based on "Demiwaifu" if she wasn't a chimera of existing Pokemon. Server buddies helped with her typing.

Happy #Pokemon Day! I probably should have drawn something instead of slacking off (read: going with Dad to the Space and Rocket Museum).

Currently crocheting a Fakemon and keeping an eye out for that Game Boy Pikachu plush. Also picked up a booster box for my birthday stash.

A photo of two Arcee toys. Left: Earthrise (G1). Right: Movie.

Arcee x2: G1, Earthrise (2020) and Movie (2007).

I remember grabbing Movie!Arcee close to release, despite my disdain for the Bayverse, just to have AN Arcee. In retrospect, her design is okay--more readable to me than most of the others.

"what if we slapped an edgy thirteen-year-old's idea of horror onto a series it is extremely not tonally suited to, and also expected readers to believe that a console that made the first Mortal Kombat look like ten miles of bad road was capable of 'hyper-realism'"

Maybe it's just because I was already too old for creepypastas when SonicEXE was written, but I think the base concept of "evil red-eyed Sonic lookalike that's a brutal, sadistic hunter of sorts" could be better served by either Metal Sonic or Mecha Sonic (from S3nK).

"If you do callout posts about artists creating 'fictional taboo content you are a fascist, it doesn't matter if you support trans people or hate ICE" It's so funny how many people will not shut the fuck up about how much they hate purity culture and then say this shit

Two female Transformers in varying shades of blue. One is a mermaid; the other is a biker.

Belated update: [siiiiiiigh]

Yep, that sure is an Autobot acting more like a Decepticon than the actual Decepticons.

--I haven't gotten to any fics/scenes with named Autobots, but I can only guess that the illusion of "the Decepticons THINK they're the heroes" will shatter once that happens.

The fact that one Autobot antagonist is named TYPHON doesn't bode well.

I read some more of Raksha's #Transformers fics last night (having already red her origin story for Megatron years ago); she was/is a good writer. Dare I say it, an excellent writer... so long as no named Autobots are present.

The archive I'm using is incomplete, and--

I get that they were going for "colourful heroes VS muted villains", but making ALL(?) the Decepticons gunmetal grey was... not a good choice.

Unsolicited Transformers post of the day: the Transformers movie designs improved over time, but MAN did I not like them in the first three films.

2007 being in the "Real is Brown" era did not do them any favours--especially the Decepticons.

I really need people to remember that we don't need regurgitative AI to make mistakes. (Especially the kind that only get noticed days later because Task B overwrote Task A.)

More broadly, I'm tired of this "everything* you like is bad" shit. I don't think I've ever felt less motivated about fandom stuff than I am right now, because everything has to be a pissing match.

(*Not including things which cross the line into actual harm.)

Check "Following". Immediately hit with "Haim Saban is a twat" [which is correct] "therefore Power Rangers is bad".

It feels like I can't talk about Super Sentai (especially the un-adapted seasons) or PR without risk of someone either hijacking it to bitch about PR or harassing me for liking PR.

Once that window closed? KB Toys's retail refuse got a lot cheaper (like, "Big Lots knockoff toys" cheap) and less compelling. I remember actually being kinda frustrated the last time we were there (2008?) because of this.

Seeing photos of KB Toys circa 2005 and later reminded me that, while I do miss it, I specifically miss that narrow window in the early '00s where ours carried stuff I cared about, like McFarlane anime figures, Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Resident Evil, etc.

I don't like what it says about society that it could be nigh-irreparably broken by a single pedophile.

(*The first imageboard was literally made by a pedophile for that purpose. Until proven otherwise, I suspect that m00t's choice of format was as much motivated by this fact as it was inspired by 2ch.)

It's Epsteins all the way down. Jesus H. Christ.

But also: guy who created 4chumps out of spite that Something Awful banned pedoshit, using a format made to distribute CSAM*, JUST HAPPENED to meet with Epstein? My shock, it is non-existent.

Blokees... Pandora and Prometheus. I am begging you.

Duality by Double Aught. From what promo material was released, it looked like a continuation of Marathon Infinity's themes (even if it wasn't set in the same universe); I still kinda hope that a build surfaces one day, but with it having been so long...

Multiple species of Pokemon, all of whom (except "Marin", a blue aquatic creature) look different from their base species.

Some more Delta Pokemon (a TCG concept) if they visually reflected their altered typing. (And also a Pinkachu and a one-off contest winner Fakemon.) #Pokemon #fanart

What I'm concerned about is the Dems having a harder time winning the midterms because no one (or at least no one here) read further than "DHS funding".

More accurately: if a resolution isn't reached within two weeks, the DHS shuts down until September. That's about seven months where, ideally, the DHS will be severely hamstrung if they can even act at all. Which will also hamper ICE and hopefully get the ball rolling for its abolition.
