Looks like vintage lego. Someone was being reckless with their packing, I'd bet.

"That's just because they added a bunch of spikes" is an argument I've heard. Because clearly, they just felt like adding a bunch of spikes on multiple designs in positions that coincidentally form X's, for no particular reason. *sigh* Designs don't come from nowhere. >.>

I probably should mention that BrickLink, to my knowledge, has not put out a newsletter regarding this, almost a week after the initial announcement.

As an addendum for all the wonderful people out there, there's also always plenty of sellers who are gross, as one should expect. Nevertheless, it always hurts to hear people who think like this.

No elaboration has, at the time of this writing, been given as to what form of support this is actually referring to. To me it reads like a generic cop-out answer.

BrickLink administration has given the following reason:
"We don’t currently have the resources to support Marketplace operations in these areas at the same level as everywhere else. We're continuously reviewing our options, however, in case we're able to return at any point in the future."

The list includes a large portion South America and the Middle East, as well countries such as Ukraine, Turkey, Greenland, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, and San Marino.

I have not been able to find a definitive list of countries that Bricklink DOES operate in.

Prototypes for 70211 CHI Fluminox use 6013677 / 54821. No name/color data for this element. I doubt it was for 70211 originally as it would predate for instance 6024162, the blue Zamor from Chima's first wave. Might be Col. 171 (9.mult), 172 (10.mult), or 177 (11.Mult) as those are notably skipped.

I and me of course, too. But that requires remembering myself. Itself, yourself, myself, themselves, herself, himself.

Anyways, Harris probably is as rotten as most politicians.

Then I went online, heard people complaining about windows, looked up at them once, never looked at them again for the rest of my play time (now at some 90 hours). At no point does the game draw your eye to some damn windows.

Maybe I'll stay on Windows 10 for a bit longer :3

Granted, thr chest design was there already, it has just been emphazised.

Imo this pose it does several times in the trailer shows the tails forming a Y with the body as the stem, but also the chest pattern I feel is a segmented Y. But I understand your reservation given that it is a mythical.

@shamsjorjani.bsky.social I hope you think hard about all of these issues, though. Helldivers 2 has had a rocky road, but the reason I bought it was because of its proof that you don't need predatory practices. I hope for it to continue to demonstrate what games can be.

- Related to the art theft, there's also the use of internet scraping bots to that end by many AI companies, whose effect can only be described as DDoS attacks.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a point or two here.

- A lot of feelings likely also originate from how the software is forced down our throats by the companies who implement it, not just with unasked for prompts and popups but also slowing down applications that worked fine previously due to being enabled by default and running in the background.

- There's also the question of environmental impact, in terms of the resources these AI use. The computational power, the energy needed for that, data centers which have been known to give off "invisible" sound pollution. Add to it, companies lie about these factors, because they know it's that bad.
