Where does one even find a new, physical, North America region copy of Fire Emblem: Three Houses these days? Nowhere? Is this a fool’s errand?

I accidentally un-transformed multiple parts multiple times, but eventually I got it to stand on its own. I think we’ve crossed the “too much stuff” line, but there are three pages left (and then decals). SO glad I have an action base for this one 😅 RG Unicorn Perfectibility #gunpla #ガンプラ #plamo

Jake!@spriteborne.bsky.social · 5d agoI’ve been procrastinating on this build because this is an x8x2 step, but the build is actually pretty cool. It’s all threaded over metal wire RG Unicorn Perfectibility #gunpla #ガンプラ #plamo
It should be illegal to use AI generated pictures of food on your menu. It is quite literally false advertising
100%, yes. I could also hear the TV seconds before it turned on for as long as I can remember My ADHD was diagnosed in my mid 20s ✨

No, “Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-Zero HG Gundam Zero” isn’t a confusing name at all, why? I’m sure no one will be confused by that at all
gundampixel@gundampixel.bsky.social · 2w agoHG Gundam ZERO
There’s a lot of debate about what truly defines Gundam, but it’s actually very simple: Names whose pronunciation no one can agree on I can’t wait for years of disagreement about how to say XARX!
They literally made a Bond villain do this (Die Another Day) and we said it was stupid then, too
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoJapan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has said she gets just “zero to three hours” of sleep a night, prompting a debate in the country over work-life balance.
This is kind of an incredible website: Why your stuff stopped lasting, who profited, and what's still built right.

Emily E. Meo@emilyemeo.bsky.social · 2w agoi'll be back on the job market after my contract with EA ends in exactly five months! do YOU need to hire a sound designer and/or implementer and/or composer in five months? if so, let's talk about it.
On a related note, if anyone ever finds this book for a non-obscene price, please holler. It’s a compilation of his concept art work for Turn A Dude was a legend. Science fiction’s visual identity - past and present - owes so much to Syd Mead

This is how I learned that despite being hired as a combat designer and doing combat design for the combat game, Paul Green, Masao Kobayashi, and the other leadership at Cut to Bits relegated me to “additional development” on Venture to the Vile I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the Rockstar.
gril@funambulism.com · 3w agoHuge change to Mobygames - you can now comment on any credits you've received. Very handy if e.g. you gave your blood, sweat and tears for years, then only got a 'thanks'... (No, you're bitter.) Only for claimed profiles, not sure if requires sub. e.g. www.mobygames.com/person/61849...

Not every model shop knows their products well. Shop at the one where they understand that “Penelope” is just the name of the flight unit and the mobile suit inside is called the Odysseus Gundam 🤓

I’ve barely seen anyone talking about this, but it’s real bad. We live in one of the dark zones, too. You can’t see much of the sky right now, it’s just a hazy layer 🙃
hux | hiatus@1ocentz.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is getting much more serious. Please limit your time outdoors please stay informed about the wildfire smoke and where it is headed. SHARE THIS MAP. I have such a bad headache and we live in one of the black spots. It's BARELY begun, here. I don't know what we are gonna do on Friday. 🥲
🙂 New Gundam show 😃 New Gundam model kits 🤯 New Gundam music
gundampixel@gundampixel.bsky.social · 3w agoWe are just One Week away, from the announcement of a whole new Gundam show! 🎉🎉 Assuming this is a fresh AU joint (quite likely), it’ll be the second to start within the last 10 years - SD/Build excluded. ⚡️ 2015 Oct: Iron-Blooded Orphans ⚡️ 2022 Oct: Witch from Mercury
My advice as always is that if we get along really well, you should probably get screened for ADHD ✨ We notoriously flock together. It’s a thing
Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie@greyalien.bsky.social · 3w agoSpoke to several people at Develop who have recently discovered that they are neurodiverse. Good for them! Basically though, if you are a videogame programmer and have had difficulties with some/many aspects of life since you were a kid, you probably are *something*. It's worth looking into it.
Really needs an action base for good aerial poses because it does *not* like to stand on the ground, but the build is done! Strict no-frills build. Here’s a very casual photo, light box shoot later Really, really liked this one. HIGHLY recommended HG Hambrabi (GQX) #gunpla #ガンプラ #plamo
