After more than five years and over 1000 hours of gameplay, I FINALLY got the final piece I needed (the "familiar statue") to 100 percent completely fill my museum in #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons. Whew! #Nintendo #AnimalCrossing

Thanks for checking out it, man. Something I've just wanted to get creative with, and I've been happy (overall) with how they came out. The one I did for you is still a favorite.

Bringing New (Dioramic) Depth to Comic Art WldCard published a post on Ko-fi

Wrote a little piece on my Ko-fi about my recent work on re-creating various #GIJoe comic scenes as cool 3D dioramas. #EnergonUniverse #SkyboundEntertainment #Hasbro

I'm looking into picking up a 3D printer to help out with some of my creative projects. I'd like something that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Also looking for something that would be good for a beginner, but solid enough to build from. Any suggestions? #3DPrinting

I tweaked my #CobraCommander diorama piece inspired by this scene from issue 4 of the @skybound.bsky.social miniseries. Remade (and hand painted) the sound effects on clear shrink paper. What do all of you think? #gijoe #energonuniverse #skybound

The reveal in question.

My recreation of that big reveal in issue 17 of @skybound.bsky.social's #GIJoe comic book. There are a couple of minor things I wish I could do (as well as things I did that I doubt anyone will ever notice). Still, I'm proud of how it's come out. #hasbro #gijoeclassified #zartan

Current work in progress. @skybound.bsky.social #gijoe #energonuniverse #zartan

Some time back, I had fun tinkering around to come up with my own mash-up combining the Cobra & Decepticon logos. Today, I finally decided to try coming up with one combining G.I. Joe & the Autobots. #gijoe #transformers #energonuniverse #autobots #decepticons #cobra

Side note: Just in case any of this hasn't been made clear by me in the past ...
F-ck Trump.
F-ck MAGA.
F-ck ICE.
F-ck Evil.

Anyway, I'll step down from my soapbox now. But I'll leave you with this. There's still plenty of good out there that still needs to be done ... so go do something. Plant a seed so that tomorrow can be better than today.

I've always said that I'm not under the delusion that I can single handedly change the world. But what I can do is try my best to make my part of it better. I hope that when all is said and done, I can take some small comfort in the fact that I did what I could to help others.

I recently saw something that struck a chord with me. It's apparently a Greek proverb that I'm likely to butcher here, but I hope the sentiment gets through. It said something along the lines of "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."

But that doesn't mean you can't still do some sort of good in some way to at least put your finger on the cosmic (karmic?) scale and try to tip it back in the right direction.

It doesn't have to be huge, but do something positive. It doesn't even have to be directly related to the issue. Sure, that might be best, but oftentimes, for one reason or another, you simply can't. It may be time, location, resources, or whatever.

That's when I hope this advice comes to mind. Do something.

To that end, if you see a wrong, do right. If you see evil, do good. If you can do something in that moment to counter that particular wrong or that evil, do it. But there will be times you will feel helpless because things seem so far outside of your control or influence.

I'm here to say that it's okay to be hurt. It's okay to be angry. What you have to do, as hard as it may be, is to not allow that pain or that rage to consume you.

Right now, the world feels like it's gone to hell in a handbasket. You can't seem to turn around without seeing or hearing something that hurts you or makes you angry.

Bear with me as this is a long, multi-part post, but I want to take a minute to say something important that's on my mind.

Top 10 G.I. Joe Classified Figures of 2025 WldCard published a post on Ko-fi

Put together a post listing out my favorite #GIJoeClassified releases of 2025. Did any make YOUR list?

ko-fi.com/post/Top-10-...

Love this piece I saw from Daniel Warren Johnson. Also reminds me of Prime's simple, yet powerful quote:

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime

New Dodo Code: BWNCY

(I changed the code because I forgot to set the Switch 2 to NOT go into sleep mode. Had to reconnect and get this new one. Sorry.)

Had fun doing this before, so I'm doing it again. I'll be running #AnimalCrossing with my gates open in the background while working on some writing today. Come for a visit and maybe pick up a few goodies to help with your catalogues and museums while you're here.

Dodo Code: 9WJHV

Okay ... shutting that gate for now. Have some errands to take care of but I'll be back later with another Dodo Code for anyone that wants to come to the island.

First Dodo Code: LNH99

Feel free to share the post and spread the word to any other #AnimalCrossing fans you know.

I'll also be offering up various extra fossils, recipes, etc. I've collected to help you fill out your museums/recipe books/etc.

If you're interested in popping over for a visit, let me know here. Otherwise, I'll try to post the Dodo Code to my village below anytime I have the gate open.

You can come visit my spooky graveyard, roll around in my @allelitewrestling.com ring, and even take part in a little #GIJoe themed action by infiltrating the base Cobra has set up on my island.
