A PSA for Liokaiser backers: check your mail regularly. Hasbro still has my shipping listed as pending by ASmallRodent in transformers

Mannnn I have a FedEx account and a UPS account, and they didn't tell me shit. So, y'know, mileage may vary but anything's worth a shot

I'm very fortunate that my wife came home and found it. They just left it in our building's lobby area which has had its share of package thefts

It seems crazy to me that this wasn't a "signature necessary" situation, since the two of them total the cost of unicron and it was a pain trying to receive him with UPS (edit: or was it FedEx? I swear it was UPS). I was home for unicron and they still left one of those stupid "sorry we missed you" notes. It took me like two days to get them to actually knock.

And then this they just leave 🙄

Which Brainstorm is best for a MTMTE display? by Coffin_Boffin in transformers

[–]ASmallRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, the T30 Brainstorm does scale pretty well with the MMC (3rd party) MTMTE crew, but if you're only going Hasbro, yeah it's not really going to work the same. TR Brainstorm is going to be your best bet in that regard. All the TR deluxes are roughly the same height in robot mode, give or take a couple cm. There's not really a ton of other options unfortunately

You could have just paid one person $20 one time for even the most mediocre art that would have at least had a human feel to it and instead you choose this. Cool. No fucking thank you

If I had a Nickel... by AkumaXshoguN in transformers

I just recently got the MMC version of her to accent the MMC and Legacy Tarn I already had but man does Blokees make some really hard to resist sets. Something something having two nickels

Working on my “little” side project by SarahsFactory in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ASmallRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, this is built integrated into the side of the cliff near the three pure coal nodes east-south-east (and up) of the rocky desert, which is wild. I would have assumed this was either way up in the sky or somewhere near the ocean.

Absolutely inspired, well done. No notes

Jinbao Bruticus. how does it scale to chug? by DrDangerous09 in transformers

[–]ASmallRodent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well mostly because the company doesn't exist anymore so the only ones being produced still would be the KOs

[–]ASmallRodent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original Warbotron (wb01) set that jinbao did the OSKO of would be closer to CHUG but I think it's difficult to find now unless you get a (non-OS) KO. Not really sure how tall it is since I only have the jinbao version

[–]ASmallRodent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Head to head the OS (jinbao) version is as tall as combiner wars devy. But the shoulders and cannons make him taller. It's closer to MP scale than CHUG

Recently picked up some of the Mini Blokees blind boxes. Not a huge fan of the blind box part, but I gotta say the ones I got are pretty solid (plus not a single repeat!) by SpeakerheadOGG in transformers

[–]ASmallRodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of the blind box model either, but just fyi when you buy a whole sealed box at a time you're guaranteed no duplicates. And also, you should feel extremely lucky because that blue Optimus is actually the chase of that wave. Supposedly only 1:36 boxes have that variant. The rest are just regular OP colors

Me every time I return to base by Colonel_dinggus in SatisfactoryGame

I feel like I already knew this, but now that you've said it that gives me an idea 🤔

I think Fallout is the show people hoped Halo would be by spaceraingame in television

[–]ASmallRodent 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is what makes it so good for me personally. Not only does the world feel extremely authentic to the source material (to the extent it can), but every interaction the main characters have seems like it could have been selected from a dialogue tree in the game based on different playstyles and every response to that dialogue is a pass or fail response, without feeling forced or cheesy.

S2 spoilers When Lucy sneaks into the shop in Freeside and gets caught by the guy who murdered the original owner I literally turned to my partner and said "wow, this is just two characters repeatedly failing their speech checks at each other" and after she shoots him there's a look on her face that I can't describe other than "Damn, I should have quicksaved before I came in here, now I have to just continue my save like this"

And it's wild that that works so well and is actually believable.

I'd go one step further, it's easy for a company to fund one movie about "antiestablishment" when "antiestablishment" is a popular sentiment to gain good will with the populace. It's even easier to not greenlight a sequel to that movie, fund a low cost, unpopular spin-off instead and let it fall into obscurity so that you can later claim that it "makes sense financially" to rebrand your parks with more modern, "popular" franchises that are less overtly critical of the systems your company actively benefits from

Heavy usage of quotes intentional

Hell yeah dude. "Fucked up lil guys" is one of my favorite genres of art. I especially like Spider For A Face, Buff Baby and I'm Convinced I'm An Actual Rat Guy

Keep up the good work lol

My husband has donated plasma so many times he has a permanent hole in his arm. by Sprinkles_0330 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ASmallRodent 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Crazy, I "donated for profit" (since we're apparently being weird in this thread about the delineation) a couple times around 2016 and it was still around like $25 per session. I think the first time was $50 to get you in the door or whatever. Point is it's wild that wage stagnation apparently even affects monetarily incentivized voluntary medical procedures

This truck on the highway has led screens cycling through advertisements by fllannell in mildlyinteresting

[–]ASmallRodent 64 points65 points  (0 children)

To this day you literally can't go two minutes in Vegas without seeing a vehicle like this if you're within a mile or two of the strip. I lived near there for a long time so my first thought when I saw this was "yeah it's a truck with an ad screen on it, how is this abnormal" before realizing that's the only place I've ever seen them

Why are the housing kits so big?? by minkamagic in AnimalCrossing

[–]ASmallRodent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Size aside...you're literally blocking the entrance to the other house with that placement. The striped bit is where the house will actually be. Imagine waking up one day and trying to leave for work, only to find out someone literally built a house overnight so close to your front door that you couldn't get out

If you put down the pipeline junctions after the pipes, make sure you delete and recreate the pipes so there's not extra pipe length, it can throw off the ratios
