A moderator gave me quite the tag for calling her out on how AI affects the art community, just really ignorant in my opinion.

To the specific moderator you can ban me if you want but it'd be a bit supressive for just stating a fact don't you think.

A.I.

On occasion I use an A.I. generator to make a post, 90% of my posts in this subreddit are not A.I. I'd say there has been very little A.I. in the entire sub.

If I want to throw together a silly little generated image now and then to amuse myself and others then I will. Sometimes I just feel like new boot goofin. It aint that deep.

If you notice from my thrown together in paint info-meme it actually gets more traction.

My cosplay is not A.I. (neither are my tits, thank you) and any implication is absurd. It takes months to create my armor sets and a shit ton of money. I do not make any money off of it either. (sorry, no OnlyFans here)

If you have an issue with some low effort A.I. once in awhile, the proverbial door is to the right.

Anymore "This is A.I. slop" "A.I. bullshit" "Ew A.I." will be met with orc dick. Maybe a mute, or ban, idk, orc dick seems to be the funniest to me.

With love,

Bought a kanabo recently. It's fun. Watched a video on the physics of one, and to hold just it out like that is like 120lbs of force or something like that for a 14lbs kanabo. Then the weight of a person... Whew.

In Predator 3 The Ultimate Lineage a clan of Predators called the Galactic Clan showed up. However, when the Predators for this clan were originally chosen—such as Elder Grayback, Shaman Predator, the Clan Leader, and City Hunter Predator—there was one Predator that wasn't originally planned: Snake Predator.

As you all know, Snake Predator ended up being part of the Galactic Clan. However, that wasn't the original plan. Ambush Predator was the first choice and was originally going to be a member of the Galactic Clan. Unfortunately, because he was clear and translucent, and the scene was dark, he didn't make the cut. He was eventually replaced with Snake Predator.

I only say this because I have the 2021 version of the figure and the wrist blades look 1000 times better on the 2021 version of the figure and I think something is going on at Neca

As a huge fan of NECA Predators and someone who really enjoyed Predator Badlands for what it is, I definitely wanted to add the new figures to my shelves.

I was pleasantly surprised by the box. From most of the preview shots we saw, the box looked to not have the classic "flap and window" design that is standard for NECA's Ultimate line. These are no exception and they look pretty good.

Right away, the knees are nowhere near as bad as they looked in all the prototype and reveal photos. Could they be better? Absolutely. Should they have gone fully pinless? It's 2026, so of course. But the paint/plastic color is more cohesive to the rest of the figure. The construction method is reminiscent of what they did for the Feral Predator as well as the AVP figures. I'm not too mad about it.

The accessories are pretty decent. They could have done more to make the laser elements in the sword and bow "glow" instead of flat blood-red paint and transluscent purple "laser strings." It would have been nice to have the wrist shuriken in an "activated" mode and his blood lamp. But over all, they look good in his hands. Could they have made the sword articulated instead of two static versions? Absolutely. Would it make the sword more flimsy or bulkier? No question. So, it is what it is.

The posablility is ok. I really appreciate the ball-hinge ankles instead of the usual ball-joint ankles. These offer more mobility and more durability without fear of popping or snapping off a foot. His right wrist socket is definitely looser than the left, and some of the hand pegs are undersized and prone to rotate if holding a weapon. Some of the provided hands have thicker pegs, so they negate the looseness. The skirt isn't too restrictive, but they could have added slits up the sides for more variety in posing. Overall not bad though.

They mandibles look much better in-hand than they did in the test shots and prototypes. Sharper and less like white crayons. I think the faceplates and the biomask are a decent system, though he could have had more neck articulation. His predlocks are much more static (in a big clump) than almost any other NECA figure. It's fine, but some variety for dynamic posing could have been fun. Or even another interchangeable "action" version could have been nice. The biomask looks great in my opinion not anymore "human" than what we saw on screen.

Overall, I'm quite happy with him and glad I got two for different looks. One will definitely be carrying Thia when she releases. Could NECA have done more? Yes. But that's true for nearly every one of their Predator figures. Is it worth getting him? If you're a fan of the movie or NECA I would say absolutely!

Hot Toys just revealed their Thia (with legs) & Bud two-pack. It looks beautiful! Instant preorder for me. What do you think? Available on sideshow.com
