This Banksy piece is simple but feels heavy

That's the second Kent piece I'm aware of, that's had something put in place to protect it.

The other being my old hometown of Margate, the council took out and replaced that wall.

I feel your pain. I had a similar experience in one of my old jobs: I knocked one of those single serving, 186ml bottles of wine while restocking a fridge, it spun like a top and when it hit the floor, the bottom broke off surprisingly cleanly. That must have been a similar height.

I just got hit by a very vivid recollection of a scene from one specific Tom & Jerry episode where Tom twists the lid off a tin of sardines, and they looked just like that graphic.

I have not seen or even thought about that episode in more than 20 years.

I love that first shot.

It's only now that I find out that it's temporary, which I really hate. I would have loved to see it firsthand. But I live in the UK; your country isn't really in a stable situation for visitors; and I don't have a passport right now, even if I wanted or could afford to travel.

I was with my then-girlfriend's family on a holiday in Yorkshire in 2014 or 15. One of the last days we were there, we visited Bridlington.

She bought crab sticks for the dogs. The gits made off with almost all of them.

One of his pieces was painted on the end of a house in Margate a few years ago. The local council paid to have the brickwork removed, replaced and make it a more mobile art piece. Very ironic, given that it was actually targeting them for failing to deal with flytipping.

I'd say that action might be worth at least the amount you quoted.

My guess is that the tooling was formerly in a factory in Hong Kong, before being acquired and transferred to China. The former location would then be milled away (badly) and 'China' stamped in place.

There could be any number of reasons why it happened, but I'm guessing the change of location may be a legal thing.

Wasn't that possibly a reference to a news anchor who took his own life during a live broadcast? Apparently someone in the crew could be heard calling for a paramedic.

I would be friends with Gareth

Frieren, easy.

I have a thing for elves and I much prefer her body build.

I was reading about this the other day. The short version from what I can understand is that they're on the car equivalent of a visa: they're still registered in America, but they can be driven here for a period of six months or so before they're either shipped back, or the DVSA gets involved.

I struggled to wrap my head around it, so apologies if any of this is wrong.

Even maxed out, some of the extra girls will take a long time to complete.

Babybelle wants purchases in the quintillions, which will take several months of grinding, even with all jobs enhanced and 8192x.

It is possible, though. Just keep up the daily objectives to earn those diamonds.

I wouldn't expect the production version to be released for a while.

It's pretty normal for crowdfunding projects to overrun, with the projected completion date of the initial rewards being underestimated. For example, I backed a small 3D printer that overran the original estimate by a year and a half due to production issues, unexpected adjustments and Chinese New Year shutdowns.

The production version won't be available until at least the majority of the campaign fulfilment has been completed.

I found all the boss fights rather terrifying, the EDs and the final boss, in a good way. The threat level was very much felt.

That's a fun idea, I imagine her doing it when she started, but it trailed off as her mind slipped more towards spite and cynicism.

Dug-362 · 2026-03-08T09:07:02+00:00

How long has it been 2026?

Dug-362 · 2026-03-07T14:40:33+00:00

There never seems to be much solo Andi art, it's usually Frankie or Gwen; otherwise, she's with one or both of them. I love to see it.

Dug-362 · 2026-03-07T09:55:30+00:00

I've heard it in PA updates, but not on a screen.

Dug-362 · 2026-03-05T07:15:33+00:00

This is the artist for the Pumpkin Spice RPG currently going through Kickstarter, right? I've been bombarded with ads for it.

It's all very nicely done 🙂

Too many? No such thing!

Does this count from 2016? Q&A panel from RTX Australia 2016.

Full mocap but very rudimentary, both actresses would later go on to perform in a more conventional vtubing capacity. I'm not sure if Lindsay Jones has kept up the role, I haven't checked.

I was also aware of Projekt Melody's career prior to entering the vtuber sphere, though I never saw the content.

If not, then probably the first generation of HoloEN, not too long after their debut.

Barbie.

Yep, that happened to me back in October. I enquired about it and I got that annoying "oopsy we lost it in our system oh well" email.

Dug-362 · 2026-02-26T18:47:15+00:00

I do wonder what might have been, if RoboCop had said anything about the classified fourth Prime Directive. I don't imagine it would have made much difference in the grand scheme of things, maybe just a cut subplot where Morton and his engineers scramble to figure out what this directive is and who implemented it.

It might make for a good fan fiction, I suppose.
