Pretty awesome, right? I love the idea of space archers 🏹 popping some containment suits.

Empyreus built into more of an “asterisk scythe” formation, while watching the new version of Dahl’s Witches… Anne Hathaway and the rest of the cast along with the effects made for a superior film than the Angelica Houston version. This one would have scared the bananas out of me as a kid.

Price gouge update. I just had to look.

Just checked Amazon, the price for a 12 pack is now $19.50, or nearly 4x what it cost back in 2016. (And that doesn’t include tax)

How the hell are the hungry poor supposed to eat the very basic survival garbage when they can’t even get a ramen meal for under a what… more than $1.60 for a lousy packet of starch and salt? When I was on my own and in school, (admittedly 30 years ago)
$1.60 would literally have bought me 16 packets of ramen.

4 years ago, much more recently, (see post below) it would have paid for 3 packets and a can of veggies to mix in.

I wish I had seen the price prior to the pandemic.

From my journal 4 years ago today – (Oct 26, 2016, shopping at harris teeter)

When did “top ramen” go to 2.79 for 6? That’s almost triple what I remember. I would get 10 for a buck last time I purchased the stuff.

Devilbots fighting over your soul. (Feels a little like social media twitter and facebook competing for your mental essence?)

Silver skull face has height, but scythe arms has a hell of a reach that makes for a wicked haymaker and left hook! … pardon the pun…

I guess if they are going to drain us, they should at least duke it out first.

I was going for a demonic look with the red and silver but I think it would be more effective to have two very contrasting colors at odds with one another.
