This is from the St. Cloud Rox Baseball game last night! I thought the title for this shot should be "Game Face"!
This guy was so proud of his Game of Thrones Easter bonnet, complete with carrot throne and three dragons. (The 3rd was on the back.) He said it took him 6 weeks to make and that he hand-stitched the dragons. Easter, NYC -- April 21, 2019

This list is more like my Holy Grail list, since most of these are difficult to find or out of my price range.
1. Side-Part American Girl Barbies - a dream. (Maybe if I win the lottery...)
2. Midnight Color Magic Barbie - a bit more affordable than the Side-Part AGs, but still crazy expensive
3. Miss Marlene by Marx - this doll is articulated and comes with a really cute vanity
4. Disco Dater outfit by Mattel - any time I've seen it it's missing something and the complete sets are way too expensive.
5. Petra Plasty Sommerwind dolls and Peggy Star - Nice dolls, but HTF
6. Topper Dawn Dolls - these are really cute but pricey as well.
7. Mannequin Caprice Dolls - these are really beautiful French Fashion Dolls. Every time I find one they're either way out of my price range or sold immediately.
8. Talking Barbara Parlante Doll from Mexico - a 'clone' of the Mod Talking Barbie - another elusive doll
9. Twist n' Turn Christie - I have a hard time finding this doll with un-oxidized hair. I could kick myself for selling mine a few years back.
10 Hair Happenin's Barbie - Another rare doll that skyrockets in price

Inspired by Jon Snow's sword Longclaw
Not an exact replica, but some modification needed to maintain structural strength to allow wield-ability

With the full sun just touching the horizon I came upon this scene ... it reminded me somehow of "The Last Supper." The dying light was warm and so strong ... it even left shadows on the wall that made it look as if the scene was lit by a flash.
L5150's Engineer, Gary Foley has his morning game face on, ready to do battle with the South Dispatcher in the quest for mainline time on the then busy WC Chicago Sub....Scanned a few slides this morning.
This game has helped me while I'm mostly laid up. Although, I'm much better now!
Sad state in mainstream film and television when a video-game can incorporate mature story-telling complexities that most projects have mostly abandoned.
I hate watching shows/movies where 35-55 year people have the motives of 12 year olds.
So much video-game RPG paradigm of what the first game in this series was tightly wound to, was made more organic, fluid, less restrictive. Much better than the previous first game and all the faction-locked RPGs I've played so far.
The character acting and motion-capture was done extremely well. So much more nuance that I've seen in any video-game so far. It didn't just rely on its massive budget for visual and audio candy! That was secondary to the story, and sub-stories. And even those, most of them, had sub-stories within those.
I've played these type of games with my mind locked into the over-used trope of "choosing a faction". I always went after the best, fairest, most just solutions.
This continuation with Aloy, almost completely threw away "choosing" one side over all the others. Aloy becomes, by her very nature, the hero for all, not by a default group the player usually has to choose, at the disadvantage of other factions she doesn't choose to align with.
Like the way, I've always played all of these "RPG" types of games ( with frustrations, along with the fun ), Aloy ignores the factions/tribes superficial grievances and pays attention to solutions that not only benefit everyone, but demands they continue to cooperate with one another to survive.
The size of this game project and the dozens of studios involved, rival any mega-budget film/television project now.
Hundreds and hundreds of people in the game's Main Adventure end-credits.
Still a lot to do! And that's not even counting the expansion series of the game, so far!
A little homage to Wimbledon 2021 and a request from my wife this time!

Part 27 of 52 of my 'Build-a-MOC-a-Week' project for 2021
Archeological evidence throughout southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras suggests that people there played a game called Pitz with a rubber ball beginning about 2500 BC. The court in this photo is located at Chichén Itzá, Mexico, and although the rules of play may have varied, Mayanists agree that the ball game was an important part of both the spiritual and communal life of Maya society.
The court had three parts. The main alley was marked by stones or bounded on both sides by walls or tall benches (you can only see one wall in this photo, but there is another one in front of it, a mirror image). At the ends were wider sections that served as end zones with huge stands for spectators. The Maya made the ball by boiling the sap of certain local trees in water mixed with herbs. They rolled the mixture into a sphere, and when it hardened, the rubber ball was about 20 inches in diameter, and could weigh up to eight pounds.
Players passed the ball back and forth between the two teams using only their hips, arms, chests, and buttocks. They could use the side walls to make it harder for the other team to get the ball. Players wore special equipment to protect themselves from the ball as it hurtled around the court. A team scored a point in one of three ways: If your opponent used his hands, feet or head; If the ball went into your opponent’s end zone; And, the hardest way of all, if your team shot the ball through one of several rings, high up on the walls of the central alley. When that happened, the game ended and the team that made the shot won.
The outcome of the game varies depending on your source. When I did my own research, the overwhelming majority of articles suggest that winners of the game were treated as heroes and given a great feast. The penalty for losing a game was unusually harsh: death. The leader of the team who lost the game was sometimes killed, the other players and their supporters robbed of all their belongings and put into slavery. Tour guides, on the other hand, suggest that it is the captain of the winning team that got decapitated. To them it was an honor, and a direct passage to Heaven.
