EDIT: yea, it's needed. harmonic kneeshaking is enough to shake it down.

figma Saber, sorta

(click to zoom+drag)

First ever figma get, but not very much shown. All I can say for now is, figma Saber is tiny, about 1/12 scale. I'm slightly bummed that mass-production means flaws here and there, but I can forgive fatigued painters for sloppy detailing, especially for small things. After all, once you open a figma's box, the first thing you notice is the pleasantly intoxicating smell of paint.

Mine came with only one significantly defective face... a chipped nose equivalent to a black speck, and a black speck below the mouth (unsure if it's also a chip—could not pick off or wash it away with water).

The other two faces have minor residue I also cannot remove but are comparatively unnoticeable. Any suggestions?

Under sufficient light, the noses on all three appear dark—do you also notice dark noses on figures?

Every now and then I consider what I may be missing out on by not trying alternatives. I used OS X recently, and that made me want to get a Mac; that feeling periodically comes, usually tempting whenever Microsoft makes any moves.

Correlation doesn't lead to causation, but I notice that many successful people (particularly devs) use Macs and are often vocal about it. You don't ever see that for people who happen to use Windows.

I would, however, miss my habits and experience on Windows thoroughly enhanced by third-party software, some of them being my own scripts. For instance, here is a demo for how I watch anime on a PC, using an unknown remote control, an IRman infrared module I bought a decade ago, Media Player Classic, and some Litestep scripting. Basic components put together, like Lego (albeit with some difficulty): I love it.

Can this be done on a Mac without resorting to costly development? Probably, but Mac users are typically yuppies satisfied with using an all-in-one prebuilt/proper media center. If there are otaku hacks using Macs, I have yet to find them.

Hello

This is my first blawg and first post. I am using Chyrp for publishing.

I like the fact that I can post past events by modifying posts' timestamp. I think I shall exploit this and write about news old to me but new to you, and change the date later.

Thanks to Alex for making a nice piece of software and bearing with my noobiness during setup.
