I make models, usually Pikmin or Bionicle related. They can be seen here: https://boxturret.tumblr.com/ occasionally I write terrifying essays

There was a youtube channel I was following for a while that was covering this neat modular parts sorting and picking system for screws and stuff and then their latest video is how they must make robot humanoids in order to save germany

I've noticed this thing where sometimes fan creators of a thing will be given early access to something in their genre, but then it paradoxically means they make less content talking about it because now instead of looking at every public update like everyone else they know a ton but are under NDAs.

I saw this earlier today and its just been stuck in my head. The fact he's been dead for over a decade I guess is no impedance for the ai people, naturally. I think its the fact that his lab coat also says Marcia Gay Harden on it that sticks out the most.

On my first phone I could search for a song and then play it and it would keep playing everything else afterwards, I liked that. Every phone since the player only plays what you searched for so after you need to manually go back to the main playlist

I love how core to the designs it is in Patlabor that the robot's functional bits are all covered by fabrics on the joints and then for the most part decorative cowlings. Like the head is just this collection of sensors and cameras and actuators when shown bare

Odd how on the bluray the 3 episodes are treated like a movie, its all one hour+ long video with a single intro at the start and a single long credits sequence at the end. I liked how they did the credits, they had all the main SV2 guys in one chunk then all the per episode characters in another

I hope the upcoming game has the condition red thing in EZY where the batteries are about to run out. I love that these robots have to be carried around in charging trucks and have a like 10 minute operating life
