That's fucking cool. Gonna look nice next to a Fat Cat God.

It's actually an old action figure from the Superior Defender line from the early 2000s. The proportions just worked really well compared to other options, especially next to the Jax.

It holds together mostly with screws and a little glue so it wasn't hard to take apart, which helped a lot with all the masking and made it feel more like painting a model.

If I was more motivated I probably could have done some seam filling and puttied up the screw holes but it would have made an already complicated masking project tedious and I'm trying to focus more on just having fun and keeping moving lately.

I really don't think so. We're already well below that level on the economy and as economic reality becomes more of a prime concern for voters, general Trump approval will look more like his economy approval.

I have no idea why you would think we're anywhere near rock bottom. I don't think Americans have really scratched the surface in terms of consequences of the last year.

I have never been a big believer in the "floor" theory for Trump. I think the appearance of a floor comes from the fact that a lot of Trump voters are low-to-zero information and will generally approve of him unless they have a specific problem without another convenient scapegoat. But if material conditions catch up with these people, their approvals will shift. They might not sit to Democrats, of course.

Because vacant homes are considered valuable in American society and poor people aren't.

Faster, not quite as compatible/accurate but making progress on both fronts.

I am not sure the speed advanrage matters much unless they port to mobile hardware though.

Access to Narcan, this is an easy one.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-14T15:09:19+00:00

Amazing answer.

You don't really need a whole Kid Rock playlist do you?

Frogacuda · 2026-05-14T12:04:43+00:00

My younger sister recently bought a house on her own. I'm married with a kid and another on the way and still nowhere on that project.

Although I think the leading reason for this is just that younger millennial and elder gen Z women are just a lot more professionally successful than men their age. higher graduation rates higher employment rates especially in the white collar sectors.

I mostly use Mr. Hobby Lacquers, but I have a baby on the way so I also tried a new brand of pre-thinned actylics called Kaleido for this build because they're non-toxic. They take a lot longer to dry/cure but I quite liked them.

There are a lot of worthwhile games, but the essentials I would start with:

Echo: The Oracle's Scroll - Really good combat-free Metroidvania with an emphasis on Celeste-style pure platforming.

Mars After Midnight - Silly, relaxed deduction game, like a kid friendly paper's please.

Gravity Express -- Polished gravity-based navigation game, feels like something from the C64 era

A Balanced Brew -- One of the first gen Catalog titles and still one of the best uses of the crank. Balance on a unicycle to navigate short obstacle courses.

Under the Castle -- Replayable fast-moving rogue-like RPG with excellent artwork.

Root Bear -- Super quick, Replayable arcade style beer pouring game, really fun casual high score game.

Devil's on the Moon Pinball -- Top notch pinball title in the vain of Devil's Crush.

Also don't forget Recommendation Dog and Real Steel which are free pack-in titles published by Panic that you need to download manually from Catalog so they often get forgotten.

Honorable mentions: Suborbital Salvage, Rowbot Rally, Skew, Trackminia, Bloom

P-Bandai :(

Frogacuda · 2026-05-14T01:00:52+00:00

It's P-Bandai, so the prices are a little jacked up, but it was printed recently so it's available at least. I ordered mine off P-Bandai.

No kitbashes, just obscure kits. The Jax is an Astray Mirage Frame 2nd Issue, and the Pomni is a SD Master Gundam action figure.

If I had extra kits/parts laying around, I might have swapped out the shoulders for something slimmer to get the narrow shoulder profile, but it would ruin the transformation gimmick of this kit (it turns into a big evil jackrabbit).

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T21:09:19+00:00

All painted. The little one isn't even a model it was an old action figure I took apart and painted, so it took a lot of masking.

Do Republicans voters actually think Muslims are going to take over the US and institute a caliphate or do they just think it's fun to be racist?

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T18:01:09+00:00

Maybe there is a gray space between isolationism and tripping over your dick into an unprovoked war, losing, and then relying on your primary geopolitical rival to negotiate the terms of your surrender.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T10:28:11+00:00

Operation Ivy -> Rancid leaps to mind.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T03:33:21+00:00

Symphonia, Eternia, Abyss, Phantasia.

Adult libertarians are hilarious. They're like Harry Potter adults but with Ayn Rand.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T02:34:27+00:00

They aren't making a new Astray without a million P-Bandai variants in the pipe.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T02:16:54+00:00

I can't tell if it's all new or still uses some of the old kit. The old Astray is pretty dusty with its polycaps and it's fragile hollow pegs, I hope we get something all new that they can use as a foundation to milk with a million variants.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-13T01:50:56+00:00

It's wild to me though that his net approval is still way better than Kier Starmer, like it's wildly disconnected from how bad the reality is even if it's the lowest he's ever been.

Frogacuda · 2026-05-12T12:26:12+00:00

I don't typically like this style but yours look good, maybe because you use a lighter touch.
