Hello,

Whenever I try to access the settings of the forum I admin, I encounter this screen. Any ideas on why this is happening?

hypolite,

@petrescatraian Did you log in to your forum account through the delegate screen?

I appreciate your help, autocorrect, but I absolutely did NOT intend to talk about Feodor Baggins.

hypolite,

@erkhyan 🎵 We don't talk about Feodor, no no no 🎶

I’m convinced that the less privilege you have, the more hyper aware you are of it.

hypolite,

@ScribblingOn What makes you say that?

hypolite,

@liaizon Oh Lord, I didn't want to ask when someone mentioned "loanshark Chrome" earlier, but I got answered anyway.

Read a reply on a pop-culture tattoo picture: “I hope that’s not permanent, it’s going to look very silly in 10 years 🙁”

The way I see it, we all will look very silly in 10 years so might as well enjoy what we want now.

update: Mad Max: Fury Road vehicles are visually striking, pretty well-documented without access to the actual movie and based on real cars, which makes them ideal candidates for my style of design.

See, it’s too hard for me to create a model from scratch, thankfully I don’t have to since people have been creating models for the stock cars that were modified for use in the movie.

I then recreate the model in Studio based on the instructions that I purchase on Rebrickable for around $5, and I start altering the design to match the Mad Max look, not unlike the actual process the movie production had to go through.

Hopefully I should have tangible results to show in a few days when I receive the remaining parts I need to build the first two models I designed this way.

hypolite,

@Gotterdammerung There’s already a pretty comprehensive model available for the Doof Wagon on BrickVault: www.brickvault.toys/products/t…

Although I’m not personally interested with this vehicle, I can vouch for its designer, I built 4 of his Mad Max models and they’re currently displayed in my living room!

I wish I knew the story behind this pic... 😉

hypolite,

@kingu A random Comic-Con with a Breaking Bad panel?

hypolite,

@kingu The Cap reads "Los Pollos Hermanos", the fried chicken fast food chain that the character Giancarlo Esposito is playing uses as a front for his drug-dealing operations.

Continuing on my never-ending journey into movies that sparked Internet memes, I watched Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) that gave the "I'm not even mad, it's amazing" and "Boy, that escalated quickly" memes. Overall I didn't enjoy very much this ham-fisted attempt at tackling sexism in a professional context, and many celebrity cameos felt unnecessary, but I did laugh when Jack Black kicked Will Ferrell's dog in the San Diego Bay.

If nobody has coined this, I'm coining the term "Chipotle Choke"

That's the feeling you get when you walk into a street-food-style restaurant and immediately lose all ability to order food.

It's how I've managed to order a burger from Five Guys that was literally a piece of meat on a bun and nothing else. I had to scrounge for ketchup.

Chipotle Choke. Pass it on.

hypolite,

@silverwizard @craigmaloney Better not stutter and say "gimme a wedgie".

@kingu Is the tech industry just populated with disgruntled high school students? It would explain so much though.

Saturday Confession: I'm a sucker for video game adaptations, especially . I've spent so much time at my friends looking at the static miniatures and reading the army rule books without ever using them that I'm excited every time I see the characters, vehicles and weapons I've come to know so well animate in a game.

hypolite,

@gbraad And of course there's a video game version of Warhammer Quest, no idea how it fares compared to the tabletop version! store.steampowered.com/app/326…

hypolite,

@RoboGorillaman Truly a big wow moment for me. Just the introduction cinematic, I was on board!

imagine being a teen in, say '87. spending hours everyday learning how to play the keytar. thinking, wow, this is a tough instrument to learn!

then when you finally master it, a producer tells you to fuck off. "we're done with keytars"

hypolite,

– We’re done, finito, it’s over!”
