Transformers – Blokees Classic Class 18 – Shockwave (TFOne)

I wrote some thoughts on Blokees and model kits already in my Blokees Megatron review, so I will just like that and cut to the chase a bit. Blokees Shockwave is the second figure kit I have picked up from this line. I like figure kits, but the size makes them a bit less appealing since they don't match with mainline toys at all. Plus, I am not a huge fan of the stylization choices of some of the designs. Shockwave, probably due to his form being Cybertronian, always tends to just look like Shockwave. Plus, I just like Shockwave…

#Mayllennial – Chat Rooms

Plenty of people use Discord these days, which is literally just the modern chat room. But this concept has existed essentially since the start of the internet. And even before. There was a time in High School, where my friend and I figured out how to directly call each other over the computer to chat online. I mean, we could have just called each other, especially since we were doing it over dial up modems, but it was new and techy and super cool! We also used a few BBS systems that had a chat feature. I used to use…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.16)

In boring normal life doings, the dumb Rider lawn mower is still acting iffy, despite the oil/oil filter change, despite the new battery. I've ordered a carburetor/solenoid kit, so hopefully that fixes it. The thing is like ten years old, and parts do wear out. I've also got some spouts from the seeds in the garden a bit, I think. I had some long planters and put seeds for green onions and broccoli, Video Games My first Forza Horizon game was FH4, which is still the best one I'd say. After playing the shit out of FH4, I went on…

#Mayllennial – Joint Pain

I feel like I am fairly fortunate. So far, I mostly manage to avoid joint pain. I sort of have a knee thing that comes up for like a day every couple of months, but its not terrible and I probably just sat on it funny. I do feel it when I over exert, like recently dealing with water in the basement put me out for a few days, but that was more muscle than joint issues. On the other hand, I have a lot of second hand experience with joint pain through my wife and her EDS. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome…

#Mayllennial – Y2K

I honestly don't remember a ton about Y2K other than it was a thing. Its actually a little odd because I have always been into technology so it feels like a subject I would have cared about. But then, maybe knowing about technology helped me to understand the problem.and how fixable it was and, at the very least, understand how it was not going to be the end of the world. I don't even remember where I was during New Years Eve that year, but I have never been much of a "party person". The main thing I think of…
