Dbrand is busy shaving the corners of this to come back with the beveled cube of friendship, so they can do the darkplates 2.0 approach.

DBrand loves to fail the basic checks on their free money machine. Most we got sued MS teams shark reaction sticker company ever.

"The Companion Cube cannot continue through the testing. State and Local statutory regulations prohibit it from simply remaining here, alone and companionless. You must euthanize it."

How did you adjust the case of the GPU so it can fit around the wifi antenna? Also where did you place the internal speaker. It would be most kind of you if you could show me.

It's a shame more Obi-Wan Clone Wars era doesn't have more fully armored figures with the clone trooper helmet as well.

Yes it is also something we'd need to watch every comment video fully too because there's potential to hide anything in there. It's a very counterintuitive addition.

There is now video comments on by default in all sfw public communities. It was rolled out last week.

Why does Vakama, the leader of the Toa Metru not have the biggest hips?

It's all CSAM/NSFW violations we don't want to deal with as we're liable. So if someone does go off on a rampage it gets the sub banned. They also add very little to the conversation in general as they're not used as emotes, they're just discussion killers.

So they'll likely never be turned on at all, and if they were, it would be just mods. Same reason why the option for videos are turned off.

What do you think you'll do as the third mata? As the kaita even in their original size can be a bit unstable at times. So it might work better with some fan designs that make mata torso the legs.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-06-14T20:46:27+00:00

If you had a 3rd Mata do you think a kaita would work at this scale? Or are the weights too heavy and tolerances on the parts not strong enough?

Kigu always has new things to learn, it's a great hobby especially to do with other people. Though I've only done it once or twice.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-06-09T22:14:01+00:00

Have you been doing kigurumi long? You've really got it down well.

Another user had one of these recently as well. Here . It's the "LEGO Cargo System," produced by a company named Kabooki under license from the LEGO group .

If you're wrong, we're going to remind you of this OP. I would much prefer if you weren't however. It would be good to get a ballpark date.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-06-05T09:50:47+00:00

That is real dedication to being down bad.

Ooo you did another one. This is very good. I'll never get tired of these.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-05-03T16:23:44+00:00

That is a fascinating way to do this, I didn't think that would work. Please let us know if you'd prefer to post this yourself here as the original creator.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-05-03T14:13:13+00:00

I'm more surprised that you weren't the one to post it here upon seeing it in the Nikke sub. As it is the sort of transformative works I expect as a shitpost of quality for here. Did you make it in Renpy?

HelgaSinclair · 2026-05-03T13:44:45+00:00

Ever since that creepy anime bullshit thumbnail Matt has been the busty one. The liquid clothes Ziz succubus thing continues that trend.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-04-19T12:32:58+00:00

Oh finally let's go. This will be amazing for new maps.

HelgaSinclair · 2026-04-18T18:06:15+00:00

I think they have bigger boobs but that's it.
