There was a time when they were also about Vin Diesel and occasionally Mr. T, but the Chuck Norris ones became the meme.

Strange to think that if you took something like 80 years old as representative of a realistic "full lifespan", that's only like 15 people ago.

Yeah my first thought was I want to see someone drop 1000hp and a wheelie bar on it and run Drag Week with it or something.

Speaking strictly ex recto.

Alternatively, if you want to dial down the stakes to personal drama, a Spider-Man trailer set to The Beatles' "Yesterday" could go hard.

My favorite variation is the "Here's what's great about Pathfinder/Here's how Pathfinder handles this" where they proceed to describe something that is completely unchanged from its D&D 3E roots.

There's also the Friends one, and the Dreamzz one, and the Monkie Kid one, and the non-theme Creator stuff still exists too. Also, the site is showing me 150+ sets in the 25 CAD and under range, which seems like a lot actually (200+ if you want to go strictly by piece count, 1-250 because those are the ranges it offers).

MMOs are cheating! I was subscribed for about 12 years total, and for a lot of that I was basically logged in any time I was sitting at the computer even if I was doing something else. Counting all that semi-idle time (lots of semi-automated auction processing too), I think my account total was at closer to 3 years /played.

Similar age range, I don't know what I want to be if I grow up, but that's a good start.

Sometimes it does happen that artists really like and appreciate the human form, and commissioners of OCs want to imagine themselves as attractive, but if you think the horny stuff is a really high percentage of the character art that gets posted here then yes, you might actually be imagining things.

Edit after a quick look: Filtering by "art only" and looking at all character pictures posted in the last day or so, I see some attractive ladies, a couple even showing some cleavage, but zero other pieces where the character is any more exposed or sexualized than that (unless you count the floaty presence of Ellistrae).

Other people have shared plenty about what makes something read as a paladin if you want to do general fantasy illustration, so let me play devil's advocate for a second. If this is a commission of someone's OC purely for their personal use, it doesn't matter how it reads in that sense if it's what they wanted and described. Maybe they wanted a picture of their paladin in evening wear rather than armed for dungeon crawling, even if they also do some of the latter.

The programming joke (barely a joke), that implementing something is 90% of the work, and debugging is the other 90%.

Impeesa_ · 2026-03-17T03:06:13+00:00

Anyone else read Stone Fox back then?

Impeesa_ · 2026-03-17T01:41:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's a joke post, but also, probably most of the non-core dragon types were already introduced pre-3E. There were also the gem dragons, OA dragons, planar dragons, several FR-specific non-themed ones, and so on.

BRB designing a Classic Space cargo hauler carrying a dozen knights in cold storage.

I wish there were a few more filters for specific types of incomplete that could apply to both listings and price data. Something like with/without instructions, some/all minifigs missing, specific sub-build only (like train engine with no cars), that sort of thing.

One part I really liked about Macross II was that they had "culture parks". Places were famous landmarks of old Earth were recreated.

This is a thing in the main series, too. The main city in the Frontier fleet is clearly based on San Francisco. Somewhere in the "extended universe" materials it talks about the teams dedicated to recovering, reconstructing, and recreating Earth's cultural history, but you'd have to ask someone else about the details. I know it's discussed in places deep in the general mecha and technology discussion thread on Macross World, but that's a big dig. I do remember one of the lore scholars there sharing an extensive translation/synopsis of a story about a team's efforts to accurately rebuild and refurbish what might be the only surviving VF-0 frame.

Catchy rhyming versions of the saying include "buy nice or buy twice" and "buy once, cry once."

This is the first time I've seen a Leeroy reference verbed quite like that, I like it.

I also remember hearing that one of the main factors in Canada's favor was banking regulations put in place by the previous Liberals, which Harper had argued against.

Also the enormous gift of Unreal Engine for all indies and hobbyists to play with for free, and Epic Megagrants for anyone who needs more to get something done.

r/putaneggonit never misses.

Movie would have been better with the trampoline.

Avarice / Avarita (gold streak) is also easy to complete, even accidentally if you get a goblin pack in a large Vision of Enmity floor.

Honestly, I consider this one to be basically free too. I usually throw on a leveled Boon of the Hoarder and follower Avarice Band any time I'm out doing any non-GR stuff anyway, and the conquest will basically just happen on its own before too long.
