Another week, another fighting game tournament. However, a friendly reminder that Dreamhack Summer 2024 actually is quite a large event, and there are many different games there for you to watch. So even though I am specifically recommending you check out the FGC events, that also means you can just ignore me and look at other stuff. Competitive CS2 tournaments use to be a guilty hobby of mine AGES AGO, but once in a while I do randomly watch a major just to catch up on some college nostalgia.
This is going to be a DeJa'Vu "paint by numbers” update as there isn’t much other news to report. We’ll start off the degeneracy with AI generated MILFS and an entire fanbase dedicated to them via Reddit. Bonus points to this community as it's starting to churn out “burgirls” that I’m consistently using in my YouTube community posts. It’s been a running gag I’ve been doing for some time now ever since my community strikes went live.
There is a little bit of a shakeup right now in the anime figure collecting world. A recent company calling themselves Bear Panda has / is starting to release some extremely affordable anime figures. They’re large, and they look (at first glance) pretty good. Keep in mind that figures in this price range always use to be in the realm of bootlegs or knock offs. Bear Panda is trying to make an entire new series of original figures that actually are in-line with most mainstream manufacturers. Time will tell if they can pull it off, but I have to say it’s good news for all of us if they do succeed. AmiAmi (well respected Japanese store) has this figure for about $64 (US) dollars right now. Pretty insane for a 17.5-inch-tall figure. Keep in mind AmiAmi charges quite a bit for shipping, so expect the figure to cost $140 ($64 base + $76 shipping) total to the US if you’re interested. If you rather have her from a US source, you can get her later from BigBadToyStore once they ger her in stock (probably August).
Bringing this extremely cultured update to a close, we have a lovely artist who draws IP level artwork on a regular basis. We’ll call them “slow740” for the sake of easiness, but if you want to check out their extensive Pixiv page, feel free to click the link above for the rest of the work.
