Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡
Soon, the A and B lances will be ready... ...and I can move on to support and just...general mech painting.
"Hey, Ruby! Ivy said she wants to wrassle."
It doesn't hit the same with 30 years in between viewings. Besides, wasn't there supposed to be an "adult" reboot or something?
This is just the set of an intricate 90s kids game show that only lasted one season because it was up against Legends of the Hidden Temple.
...so when are we going to get the Trump version of this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix4h...
Like anyone should listen to someone who won't commit to the full Conservative bit. Sit down, ConLite.

He yearns for love, but his time on the street will not allow it...
I mean, fair.
"Barge sank. Luckily, Thoth knew how yo build a Bathysphere and Ptah was more than happy to help."
Ya got it narrowed down?
It's Clefairy!
Last kill by Polonium was in '06 and took 23 days..
God, I hope so. That'd torpedo both "Trump is still alive" and "AI is important."
I only know of one other gonzo, and the idea of zombie Hunter S. Thompson is not a fun one.
...Gonzo as in...?
Beautiful.
But...do you not love a parade? Is the song a lie?!
"Dead Fascist" and "Banana" have the same number of syllables. Just saying
he's already been banned for life from the high-end chains. does DC have a Bargain Town?
My dear emotion...
Got "Ready to Die" and "Party Hard" by Andrew W.K. in the chamber myself...
Vance is easily taken care of by leaving him in a DC area Ashley Furtinutre or Rooms to Go.
So...are we at "President Couch Fucker" yet, or is he still a VP?
Because it's Florida and it will find a way to grow back?
Any chance we can get one of those New Orleans bands to handle it?
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
Oh, I look forward to New York City having to clean themselves up after the absolute banger of a party they're gonna throw.
So, behold, 30-some-odd years later, a dream is realized. One that I didn't even know existed. 10 year old me might not like the lavender-ish purple that Crash uses to identify himself, but ya know what? I'm not 10 year old me. I'm not afraid of color. #battltech #OC_Lore #miniature_painting
on that shut the 'mech down after firing it so it could better dissipate the heat. Fast forward to this year, when I'm starting to get into BattleTech, and I learn this is, in fact, called a Goliath. 10 year old me squealed like a happy piggy and DEMANDED we buy it. I just finished painting it.🧵
character on that game. He's my oldest OC, and will be her long after I'm dead. Theoretically, of course. He piloted a quadrupedal 'mech I called a Bulldog. MW2: Mercs only had bi-pedal 'mechs, so to my little tween heart, it was original. It's big weapon was a massive energy cannon on its back,🧵
and little else. My first encounter came in the form of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, a fun little stompy compy game that ran like crap on our older system. But it cemented my love for the setting. Crash, full name at the time "Crashland" (stolen from another PC game I played at the time), was my🧵
But most of the time, he is a Mercenary. I have a history with BattleTech, stretching back into the 80s. The male contributor to my existence played it back in '87-'88 ish. I was three or four at the time, and he Played By Mail. I remember the graph paper, the little sketched 'mech damage charts,🧵
Crashland has had multiple incarnations in his existence as an OC. He was a Mage (as in "The Ascension"), a role picked up by Micah (as in "The Raccoon") when he became my fursona. He's been the commander of a steampunk/magical Airship. He's even been Just A Dude.🧵
Strange New Worlds, Season 3 is just "Spock does his best Miles O'Brien impression", innit?
...I want to see the outtakes for "Four and a Half Vulcans". Anson Mount was having WAY too much fun and I am CERTAIN he was trying to make Babs Olusanmokun lose it in one scene. Like, "Biggus Dickus" levels of make him lose it.
Eepy Tori, Teachy Tori, and Acey Tori? Nice.
...so would a nonbinary red Wizard hailing from the Forgotten Realms be a Thay/Them? Thank you. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Heee...kitty bake oven.
War escalation. *sage nod*
Willing to bet that the person who did the blotting wasn't working with a full deck and didn't think that far ahead... At least it means we get to see Krypto melting some ICE!
Pretty certain the Chicago version would be "Fuck Around and Find Out"...
Man makes modern day Jaxk McCoy look like a spry, young chicken.
In fairness, a lot of the tables self-regulate. Something something Nazi Bar.
Chromebooks 3 and 4 for the Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG go into the costs and limitations on body modding and biosculpting. Hint: not a whole lot is out of the question and it's relatively cheap.
God, when I had to go into my doctor's office for checks, I'd jokingly greet the receptionist with "I'm here to feed the vampires". She always got a giggle out of it. At least one nurse in Michigan heard it and bapped me with a clip board after overhearing.
The theme was absolutely THE BEST evolution of the original theme. Fit the feel of it real well. Still love that the lyrics for it show up as Achievements for Battle for the Grid.
...every one of these stories sounds like it's done by a world-class shitposter. Then the reality hits that it's real and these dickheads are in power...
...maybe we need to bring back the nailing of people to trees as punishment for acts like this...
...SIR!
No new pictures. Where are you mentally?
Though, the thought of CNN laying siege on FOX News studios for the expressed purpose of feasting on the brains of the anchors there is amusing in an "80s horror film" sorta way...
Looking for crumbs of "not the fucking orange nightmare" so they don't lose their minds and start cannibalizing the neighbors?
Himself. This is not conducive to a healthy work environment...
I am at my desk for work. One kitty is on my lap, leaning against me to force me to lean back inbmy chair so he can have more lap. The one who has been perched on the back of my chair for a week because it keeps the fleas at bay has taken this opportunity to use the back of my neck to balance🧵
short about my hottest take
Are the "most Americans" in the room with us now? Fuckwits masquerading as a news source...
...goddammit...

Subway: sammiches so shitty, you can get away with throwing them at facists.
...how deep does this go? I uave to know.
Discommendation. Klingon-style discommendation. Make him a goddamn pariah, encourage people to spit on him as a bare minimum, and if he wants to talk to anyone of stature, he has to go through a ritual to beg permission.
How did we survive that moment of pure, concentrated awesome?
...I swear to god, if this whole shift away from streaming brings back LASERDISC... ...someone is getting tongue.
A sneasel, a smeargle, and now a braixen... I like the direction we're going in and need to build bricks of money for tribute if it keeps going this way...
A mooding we will go...straight from feeling heavy to feeling indignant.
...okay, we need to stop making the world of Cyberpunk 2013/2020/v3/Red look appealing by comparison...
...dare them to come for cats. THAT'S gonna be a bloodbath...
...you've had this ready in the chamber for a while, haven't you?
...goddammit, my Delorean is in the shop...
But then it stops being a Roomba and starts being a Boomba.
At least with the Roomba I can put googly eyes on it and arm it with a knife!
...what crypt did we dig him out of?
A regular at Quark's that just won't shut up? You mean Mornhub.
Hands are full. Can I offer a leaf instead?
Oh no...I hope there is a Heaven. It means that there will be a Hell, and St. Peter will be standing there at the gates with the archangels to ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE him before yeeting him as hard as they can into Hell. And that Satan will have his Super Hell project done just in time...
...but is still fluffy and cute, right? RIGHT?!
...shit...we gotta go hunt the phylactery.
what if instead of grok its name was gonk and instead of asking an ai questions you were just talking to this fella
And now it's time for the best part of the work day: Absolute silence because I heard a transformer go pop and lost power and net. Still not going into the office, tho. Fuck the office.
...sir...SIR!
...oh, that would piss MAGA off so badly... How do we co-ordinate?
A corpse cannot be punished for its crimes in life. To that end, I hope he lives a long, thoroughly punished life.
...only just now? Shit, I don't remember the last time that place was the picture of mental health.
Not taking chances. Commencing ritual.
Read this out loud...accidentally summoned my dead Uncle Anthony. We're both highly confused.
Tragically, these days, this means something entirely different...
...just realized that it's a lance of four pilots, with three having two 'mechs a piece and their lead having three (especially if I have trouble fielding his signature)...this is going to be a painful number of sheets to make...
#miniature_painting #battletech
of the little panels on the side of the 'mech's legs. I worked damn hard to make sure they came out looking as close to what I wanted as possible)
when it's clear that he will not be able to close the gap quickly. The central chest piece is the final part to tie it all together, constantly swapping out to suit what he needs it to be. Sometimes it's an SRM. Sometimes it's a laser array. Whatever he needs it to be, it is. (I am quite proud🧵
