I would like to personally thank everyone at re-Ascend Studio who worked on the version 1 2DLive version of me. Our many email conversations were very welcome. https://vgen.co/reascendstudio While I have much to learn, I have been dialing in settings and configuring optimal hardware in the hopes to maybe start use in May.

I love the original. I love sequel. I love the animated series. I want to like the concept of “Tron: Ares”. I really do. But the concept of anything from The Grid being able to come into the real world breaks any kind of verisimilitude. And then there’s Jarod Leto. Ugh!

It is funny to think that I used to go to local toy shows to sell Transformers with my other half. Here’s a pic of the starting setup for a 2009 show.

One of my holy grails that I actually got! He’s a beautiful exclusive that I paid quite a lot for back in 2007. He was the 1827th Transformer that I acquired. He won’t be for sale.

In another life, in the long ago, I was a Transformers toy collector with a somewhat popular blog https://plasticcrack.com. I think I’ll start posting a lot of my old gay robot photography as I start trying to finally purge these 4000 or so ‘bots. Sick of 15 years of storage unit payments.

I have no idea if this is a guy or a girl. All I know is that I have never seen anyone ever cosplay as The New Mutant’s Warlock before and this is just splendidly creative. While slightly humanoid, Warlock (and his race) are basically fluid techno-organic blobs! This is so f’n fantastic!!!

篁祥陽 was not on my radar at all until I saw this image today. Wow! So love his coloring style on the Creek works he’s posted! Check his art out! Artist: 篁祥陽 (https://x.com/Amnasxa)

Over the last 10 years I seem to have collected about 30,000 Creek fanart images. Sure, some are likely duplicates, but wow! That is horribly cringe for a man of my age.

McKellen teaching Cookie Monster what the word “resists” means is classic. Little bit of LOTR in there and then… well… Cookie Monster loses his shit anyway of course.

So DC Studio’s dropped this extended sneak peek of the forthcoming Superman. And Krypto is so very very the kind of Krypto I was hoping to see. 100% dog! 100% dog with the zoomies!!! I so love Krypto. I see Gunn has gone with the ice crystal take on the Fortress too.
