Today's 538 podcast involves Nate Silver really seriously, unfunnily, darkly saying that the radical left twitter mockery of centrists is fundamentally racist/sexist, and a bad idea. No mention of corncobs, but I'm pretty sure that's what he's referencing

Nate silver retire you hack fraud

I tried no man's sky for an hour and it seems okay but lately I've been playing a lot of IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad/Moscow/Kuban and shooting Nazis. I wasted like ten minutes in a bomber circling around making passes on a train shooting at me with machine guns

I think you'd want a simpler design that people could do different stuff with, like a GM or a Hi-Mock or something.

Or an (ed) Ball(s) but honestly the HG Ball kit kinda sucks.

yeah I guess the Ball is a bad start. we could all do a basic Zaku and encourage people to be creative painting them and what not?

It's like less than 10 bucks on some various gunpla sites, too. Mad doable https://www.cambridgelsat.com/bookstore/bandai-hobby-hgbf-1-144-hi-mock-model-kit/B00P5R148U/

hi mock indeed, puny attempts to mold robots into the shape of a human without thinking how the robot will shape you :smugdog:

the pastime of building miniature versions of massive, impractical weapons of war is a psychological catharsis where the worker who is alienated from the product of their labor imagines constructing the tools of their liberation - massive and impractical, as is any attempt to overthrow the capitalist nation-state's illegitimate citizens

as the forces of capital have divided our local communities into disenfranchised individuals, a group build is the communal effort to reconnect with our primal desires of realizing a greater future (i.e. one where humanity can construct massive titans of steel and circuitry)

I'm excited for the C-SPAM Hi-Mock Challenge. Should it be organized with a deadline and a separate thread and so on?

Yeah! I started drafting a post, I was thinking of starting it at the beginning of September and we all try to finish it by the end of the month?

I was looking at the miniature thread, they did a month too. But it was an established thing, every month they did a model. Plus everybody in there is already at least somewhat dedicated and experienced modeler. I think the C-SPAM challenge should last a bit longer, like September and October?

That would be good! We'll call it the October Gunpla Revolution
