What I’ve Been Up To (2025.07.19)

Its been a busy week this week. Days off always screw me up. On Tuesday I was off and ordered dishwasher tabs on Amazon because no one carries the ones we use in town anymore (orange gel packs). It says "Deliver tomorrow". I thought "I kind of hate having some delivery person working Sunday but we are out of them. Then the next morning I was putting dishes in the dishwasher thinking, "No wait, I guess yesterday (Tuesday) was Sunday, because I am going to work today, so the next day thing isn't so bad." "Wait, its Wednesday." I had…

What I’ve Been Up To

I am still not dead. Sorry. Just… Not really in a "write about games and toys" mood. Hard as I try, I cannot be the "this is fine" dog while the world burns around me. What I Have Been Playing Infinity Nikki I think there have been a few larger updates. If I understand properly, the next update is the last one before we get the first "Big update", which will probably be a whole new large zone. The end of the main story teases like 5 or 6 other large zones or something. I don't remember. I have basically…

SH Figuarts – Naruto Ichiraku Ramen Set

For a variety of reasons, the bottom has basically dropped out on my collecting. Some of its finances based, some of it is just kind of, saturation, I guess. I also feel like my interests in what I buy has entered a kind of weird abstract and less focused area. Some things I have been somewhat keeping up interest in is props.and accessories. Maybe I will actually start using them to take cool photos more, but for now, I have been collecting them for a while. Sometimes its cheap sets from Five Below, sometimes its exotic items like a fancy…

Bring Arts – Final Fantasy VII – Barret Wallace

And Barret completes the last of the 4 core heroes. Though now that I think about it, Aerith kind of doesn't count does she? It's complicated, she is kind of core to the plot but also she uh... Isn't around as much... For spoilery plot reasons from a 25 year old game. How about we go with Barret rounds out the core 3 heroes of Cloud, Tifa and Barret. Barret is an interesting character in the game, he is a well meaning tough guy who leads the tiny rebellion group known as Avalanche. Not too smart though, he tends to…

Toy Story 2 Dynamic 8ction Heroes DAH-074 Al McWhiggin

As a toy collector, this felt like a figure that was a weird requirement to own.  It's also a figure that feels less likely to get a lot of toys.  He was the villain for Toy Story 2, for the most part, but Toy Story toys tend to revolve around the Toy characters, who are all "toy sized."  Plus he is just kind of a goofy weird design in general. I was a little warry because I don't really know anything about the company making these.  Buying from lesser known companies isn't always an issue, and neither is buying from…
