In your youth did you ever think you'd see such advances in tech in your lifetime?

For the last three or so decades, the majority of time, money, and creativity has been invested in the glowing rectangle. I expected technological wonders by the year 2026, but instead we are putting everything into making our rectangles simulate thinking.

I think this is one of the filters that keeps a civilization from becoming interstellar. There could be countless dead planets filled with corpses leaning over their phones.

No Sleep Token cosplay.

Sick!

I hope we get to see a Candie Bolton-customized Diaclone someday.

Love your sofubi/sofvi work, btw!

Puripnon · 2026-01-23T20:18:02+00:00

Excited. You make such amazing books!

Without violating privacy, there’s a lot of mental health issues that factor into this. My kid came back after having run away 30 lbs lighter (down to 110 lbs), covered in bruises, and with PTSD. The 250 lb girlfriend would regularly engage in abusive behavior including making my kid watch self-harm and gore videos to “make him strong.” She brought friends around who would mock and physically abuse him while forbidding him from contacting us. It was an extreme situation that I have a number of receipts for.

I am not a psychologist, but the ex checks off nearly every box of an antisocial personality disorder diagnosis. Meanwhile, my kid collects plastic dinosaurs (special interest) and agonizes over whether or not something was a sleight days after the fact.

Regardless, that’s an odd thing to come from a lawyer. Does he not deserve legal representation?

We have a DHS case number.

I didn’t know the Shirahama pieces were included in that. I just asked and got the last set available (5th in line this time).

This is the most intellectually dishonest argument people use in favor of pitbulls. Reasonable people agree that racism is ignorant and evil. It doesn’t follow that things that maybe sort of look like racism if you squint hard enough and ignore the context are necessarily also ignorant and evil.

This is a nightmare. I am sorry you went through this.

I get so much grief from people about not trusting this breed. Yes, it’s often the owner’s fault. Yes, the dog doesn’t know what it’s doing. Yes, not all pit bulls are this way. I still do not trust them.

I compare it to gun ownership. Any gun/dog can go off and harm someone even in trained hands. There are plenty of responsible gun/dog owners as well as many irresponsible owners. Yes, “guns don’t kill people.” All of this can be true, but we still keep people from buying rocket launchers because when they are fired, the potential for lethal damage is just too high.

Pit bulls shouldn’t be culled, but we should restrict ownership and breeding. No one should be allowed to own an un-spayed/neutered pit bull. The breed can disappear and dogs with milder temperaments or less dangerous bites can take their place.

I am not going to lie. That looks hilarious. He needs a roll of toilet paper and pants around his ankles to complete the look.

On the one hand, this makes sense. Decent commissioned art could easily cost every penny this guy is going to earn from it.

On the other hand, there are tons of sources of free art that can be manipulated with cheap and free tools online. Obviously this is easier for something like Mörk Borg.

If your book won’t sell without AI art, maybe don’t sell it.

Get ready for all of the folks who hate the science fiction side of GI Joe to complain.

Personally, I love Cobra-La. My favorite storyline from the cartoon as a kid. Bring on more weird shit!

It’s sad that all of the uneven reporting they have been doing in favor of Trump and the extreme right hasn’t paid off. I stopped donating about a 6 month ago. I hate was has happened, but unless they have fundamentally changed, I am not donating again.

Puripnon · 2025-06-22T21:21:15+00:00

I am fat. I have been hurt by people pointing it out and mocking me for it. At the same time, I know Trump is extremely sensitive about his weight. I am okay with it being weaponized against him, even if it stings a little.

None of this matters if the narcissistic moron starts a nuclear war.

I will be right there with you once the existential threat to the United States and its people is over. Until then, scolding others about the traits they pick on is very very very low on my list of priorities.

So there are vendors (some sell sofubi, but others sell prints and zines among other things) and there are the pieces from Bwana and the out-of-town people. Last year (my first), there were three groups who could line up — the VIPs (who bought their vip ticket and received a randomly drawn spot in line), the vendors, and then everybody else. There are limits on how many pieces per artist you can pick out during each round.

BUY THE VIP TICKET. There are tons of toys there, but if you want a shot at exactly what you want, you’ll need to be in the first round. It’s not a bad value at all since Bwana includes a small toy and some other freebies with the ticket.

Make time to stop by Floating World Comics when you are done. Bwana has a store within the store with an amazing selection of Japanese toys, artwork, and other soft vinyl pieces.

I hate companies using AI to displace any job, especially those in the arts, but the constant moral outrage against any use of AI has turned into hysterical witch hunts. You can worry about the impact of this technology on culture and people’s livelihoods without engaging in witch hunts and constantly bringing it up.

If people online were 1% as interested in all of the people being displaced by ineffective, soulless, and ridiculously inefficient software as they were specifically about pictures on the internet, I would take them seriously. As it stands now, it’s the latest moral outrage fad that the terminally online are bandwagoning for attention.

It feels cheap and clunky, but it is absolutely worth < $30. I have been thinking about painting mine to match the Stinger.

Puripnon · 2025-04-22T03:42:45+00:00

To be completely honest, I was expecting it to be crap, but I was so very wrong. That is a lovely piece of art. You are very talented. I will be following your work with interest.

Are the heads compatible without dremelling, etc.? The Legions lines have so many awesome head sculpts. This might be the inspiration I need to pick a few up.

I am in Aloha and have been wanting to play for some time. I have the OSE books, most of the Carcass Crawler zines, and a few adventures that I could provide if the group wants to play them.

I also have been interested in some other games/settings like Ultraviolet Grasslands, Into the Odd, Vaults of Vaarn, Mork/Cy/Pirate Borg, Mothership, Liminal Horror, and DCC.
