Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.
Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.
You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.
I’ve completed the bases for the first two parts of Tidal Wave’s ship mode (the aircraft carrier and battleship on the original toy). Details (like the door on the ground of the carrier and the battleship’s turrets) will be done once I finish the final third, which is the toy’s troop transport component. The ship is a bit larger compared to the reference image, but in my mind, the Star Seekers stole a military warship and modified it to be their pirate ship, and that’s why it’s so big (pretend that there would normally be planes on the carrier portion and it’ll all make sense).
I highly recommend checking out the new "Celebrating 40 Years..." widget on the group page! It has a list of important dates in Transformers history from 1984 to 1993 (all of G1), from cartoons to toys to comics. No rush, though... I won't be taking it down until 2033 lol
"So take my life, take me out of here Just carry on, the end is near We play the game but the path we did not choose So take my life, set me free again My final score, I don't know when Seems like I was only born to lose So get ready, Player 2"
- "Pixel Prison" from Warp Speed Warriors (album released 3-15-2024) by DragonForce When I first heard this song, I thought it was about Ready Player 2 (especially because of the last line of the chorus), but then I found out it was about Tron, and yeah, that makes more sense. Either way, great song and my second-favorite from the album after "The Killer Queen" (aka tomorrow's Lyrics of the Day).
Happy birthday to Alan Oppenheimer, voice of all your favorite Minibots from the original cartoon (the hippie, the hovercraft, and the KABLOWIE), and John Cena (need I explain him?)
yeah, and the memorable ones from the 85 bunch lol
he also played Breakdown and Dinsmore (Chumley's butler from "Prime Target"), and he was Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, and Mer-Man in the 80s He-Man cartoon (his voice for Mer-Man is the practically the same as his Seaspray voice)
For the love of God, people, tell us what smith you wanna be when you ask us to join! There's three people who asked to join and didn't tell us, and we can't let you if we don't know what role to invite you to!
Fun Fact: Someone on r/Alestorm made a post saying the band should make a song called “[insert that one name for male chickens]” and even added lyrics for the chorus. Christopher Bowes, the band’s lead singer, founder, frontman, and keytarist, commented saying he could make it happen. A song of that same name with the same chorus then appeared as a track on the band’s new EP, Voyage of the Dead Marauder.
“We're Space Marines of the infantry corps We're marching strong as we march into war We take no sh*t, we'll destroy the dark hordes We're lean and mean, Space Marines fighting for the cause We're Space Marines and our time is right now We'll raid their lands, we don't give a damn how We'll burn their base, burn it down to the ground So march, fight, die, I'm a Space Marine I'm a Space Marine I'm a Space Marine”
- “Space Marine Corp” from Warp Speed Warriors (album released 3-15-2024) by DragonForce Yet another banger DragonForce track about video games!
remember to make a difference whenever you can 💚 1/10 people die from air pollution related illnesses. a child born today will only breath clean air when they’re eight. nearly half our water is polluted. the planet loses 24 billion tonnes of topsoil because of pollution. we live with this everyday. 💔
On one hand, you want your crush to know you like her, but on the other, the mere thought of her and all your friends finding out sends shivers down your spine...
