The rough texture of this wall felt like the granola bar and inspired the idea that it should have a granola bar photographed on top of it.
They're at the Chinatown Arch every Friday like clockwork making offensive statements so I thought it was a good opportunity to put some different words in his megaphone

I always hit A3 for my coke. Today I mixed things up and hit A4. You know what happened? The machine gypped me out of a quarter! The sodas are $1.50. I put in $2.00. I got one quarter back.
A4. You screwed me over one too many times.
You can say that going for a change depleted me of change.

From the website: For when you just want to SMASH, while keeping your complexion flawless! Translucent green-tinted powder helps counter the appearance of redness caused by sunburn, rosacea, uncontrollable mindless fury, et cetera.
This powder is suitable for all skin types, but recommended only for use on reddened areas. Includes silica for diminishing fine lines and imperfections, and rice powder and kaolin clay for oil absorption. Do not use on lips.
Ingredients: serecite mica, rice powder, kaolin clay, silica, chromium oxide, iron oxide.
Personal Comments: This is a really cute creative touch from the Shiro team - a green finishing powder inspired by the Hulk! The formula is beautiful, which isn't surprising given the good reviews I've read about the brand's "normal" finishing powder. It's downright silky on - even on my dry skin, I can feel the difference between skin where I've applied it and bare skin, and it doesn't look powdery at all.
Let's talk about the color, which is intended to cancel out redness. For reference, I am quite pale with warm (yellow) undertones, roughly NC15 in MAC and Sleek Korat in Meow foundation. My skin is very dry and has a lot of natural redness, including red undereye circles, a few red pimples, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Needless to say, I was excited to try this product! I tested it on half of my face with no other products to get a sense of what it did on its own. It did seem to help neutralize some of the inherent redness in my cheeks, but didn't seem to do much for my undereye circles and red pimple. I dusted the powder over the rest of that half of my face as well just to see what happened, and as you'd imagine, I looked a little green. I was kiiiiind of able to blend down the green color in places where I overapplied it, but I think using a light hand only in red areas is the best method here.
I'm undecided on this product. I'd like to test it more in conjunction with my normal foundation routine. What I do know, though, is I will definitely be picking up a sample of the brand's white finishing powder. If the formula is just as good as Always Angry, it'll be a jar purchase for sure!
Kristin adds: I agree with AG. Usually green tinted products are a brighter green shade so that it not only cancels out redness but also has a brightening effect (since the red shade is also probably a bit darker than your normal skin tone). I thought that this finishing powder did a good job at canceling redness but the grey in the powder made the areas much darker and was difficult to blend out. This would probably be best for people with very slight redness and when applied with a very light hand.

Final Fantasy XIII was the last mainline FF game I played.
XIII, which for some reason not only introduced some spastastic battle system where you'd change between the various roles a character could play, also introduced a rating and scoring system for battles that honestly didn't do anything. Then of course, there was that crafting system that is a prerequisite for upgrading.
Now that I've got two kids, sitting in front of a console is no longer really an option and as such, well, I've not touched XV either, though I've read some really cranky comments about the DLC.
As with all the FF games, XIII introduced me to a band of lovable rogues and heroes, with the lead protagonist being a woman by the name of Lightning.. or at least that's what she tells everyone to call her.
Her sister is Serah, so I can only presume that her parents hated her more. Or she hates herself.
Being the face of the XIII franchise, Lightning of course because quite popular among the hardcore FF players, with a plethora of merchandise featuring her visage, including the inaugural entry in the FF XIII Static Arts Bust line, launched in 2016.
As far as I know, pretty much all of the Final Fantasy figures since FFX have been produced by Koboukiya, a company I have had a love/hate relationship for a very, very long time. I love them because honestly their pricing isn't terrible - on the contrary it can actually be quite good. I hate them, however, because they consistently have some of lowest standards when it comes to their finished goods that I've seen from any major manufacturer, though to be fair they are getting better. There was a time that I could easily pick out a Kotobukiya release because they would consistent not bother painting the skin on any of their figures.
So while I have been picking up Play Arts figures here and there, these Static Arts pieces are supposed to be high end PVC busts of their most celebrate characters, and retail for about $80 CAD. Surely things must be better now, right?
Nope.. not really.
The good news is that the final product generally does actually look like what the prototype promised - the upper body of Lightning, with her default weapon, poised to attack her enemy. Loss of sculpt detail wasn't horrible with good detailing on her weapon and outfit. There was even paint on her exposed skin and decal work for her eyes and other small details weren't too bad. The crystal base didn't look too shabby either, and it seems the sanding job on her various extremities was solid.
Hell, even the weapon fit properly.
However, as one gets a little closer, the traditional Kotobukiya QC shines right through, with paint apps of small details being very, very messy, either overapplied or poorly masked. The back of her poor head is what made people most upset - I read comments about how people didn't like her hair, and honestly thought people were being overly critical until I actually saw it for myself.
For $80, the paint work is a disappointment to say the least. Its' not like this is a very big item, making it a value buy - the bust is probably 1/7 scale or so, and is only about 4 inches from bottom of the base to the highest point, the tips of her fingers.
So overall a disappointment, mostly because I've seen good work from Kotobukiya and the underlying sculpt is quite nice, but the lack of polish on the bust really hurts the final product. I'm not sure what the other busts are like, but I'm almost willing to bet there are similar issues.
But when you have a monopoly on something that is very popular, I guess people don't generally care and you get an automatic pass.
