To celebrate Pacific Rim’s 10th anniversary I decided to let this thing finally see the light of day.
Diecast figure of GD—I have no idea how I managed to acquire one years after Soul of Chogokin ceased production, but here she finally is after years of sitting unopened in my closet, waiting for her time.
As you can see she’s extremely detailed and very heavy. I forgot she had light up features. I love that they included the oil tanker baseball bat.
Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.
Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.
This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.
This is fascinating and I love the part with the mushrooms and the worms if this really works but my favorite part is that we spent decades like “oh no….oil is soaking into fur and feathers….if only we had something that could soak up all this oil”
this is fucking animated crazy good, how come ive never seen this
This isn’t animated, this is somebody with full-body tracking in VRChat! I believe they also have ELBOW TRACKERS, which is two more trackers than people usually have. VRChat’s native IK (inverse kinematics) does its best to guesstimate a good elbow position for you, but this looks much more coordinated than it usually manages.
The elbow trackers are also extremely funny imo because they contrast with the grungy, rough-and-ready utilitarianism of the chosen avatar. That’s a significant extra financial and system outlay PLUS a significant extra physical burden of strapping in and out of your fullbody setup, which also implies uncluttered, dedicated space. Like, the avatar (and choice of topic) is of a man unconcerned with appearances but then the ELBOW TRACKING is the cat’s tailtip poking out of the bag: this is a person maximally concerned with appearances.
it’s really cool not having any clue what he’s talking about even remotely
