Lovely! I didn't know these were snap together I thought they all needed glue etc, that's neat. Japanese War Bender. Bite my matte metal ass!

@p7uen I've built a few Japanese model kits (Bandai's Gunpla and a Star Wars X-Wing, Kotobukiya's Frame Arms Girl and Megami Device lines, and a Gradius Vic Viper kit by a third company I don't remember the name of) and they've all been push-fit as opposed to requiring glue. Not sure if it's the standard for model kits there, or just happens to be the case for the stuff I've been most interested in. Works for me!

Model making is one of those hobbies that Ive always wanted to try but never have! I fear i would get 2/3rds done then abandon it for something else! I really do love them though!

@cartridgeconfidential If you ever decide to give it a shot, Bandai's models are a really good starting point! There's a few Gundam model kits labeled as 'entry grade' which are designed to be newbie friendly (which was how I started), but if Gundam's not your thing then they've got other stuff too like their Star Wars range or 30 Minute Missions (an original line of mecha models not adapted from pre-existing anime)

@overclockworked I might look into getting an Eva 01 model one day! I'll let you know if I do!

In the end video games are entertainment, and if you're not finding them fun it's better to take a break and revisit later when they are fun. Sometimes I will just move through hobbies like this and then circle back to them. In the end I find myself trying to learn new skills is a rewarding way to spend my time, and the skills sometimes trickle down to other areas too.

For what it's worth, the blog posts of yours I did read I enjoyed. Personal websites can evolve, because that's what people do. So whatever happens to Overclockworked as a website, as long as you're doing what's best for you, we'll understand.

Thank you for your writing, still got plenty of your backlog to keep me busy. The whole point of a hobby is to bring joy, so go and find some! See you back here if you write more about anything in the future!

Burnout is rough :< enjoy urself! neocities will still be here when you feel like returning.

Taking care of yourself is the most important part! I hope things get better

Oh my god the way the blobs look at each other is sending me.

@p7uen I've been playing Puyo Puyo for so long that until you pointed it out I genuinely forgot that the puyo look at each other or even in two opposite directions at once depending on what puyo are adjacent to them. Love that detail!

It looks so gorgeous and seems pretty modern, unlike Warcraft I which I've just read your review of as I hadn't read it before. That was exactly a year ago, I look forward to the summer 2027 Warcraft III review!

WORK WORK

@p7uen Don't get your hopes up, I've still got to review Diablo, Starcraft and Diablo II before I get to Warcraft III if I keep up with reviewing Blizzard's library in chronological order!
