I'd be a little remiss (and outside of contract) if I didn't also mention the new This is Fine store with newer shirts and stuff galore over at www.thisisfine.shop
The Topatoco store remains as-is, vintage stock of shirts and the plushie you know.

If one can believe in the passage of time, it's been 13 years since my brave little pooch did nothing in the face of chaos. Thank u for allowing him to burn. 🙆 🙇

Oof! This was that really sinister episode about the rectums in the condom factory! 😂
Crunchyroll having bad AI captions for Gundam despite actual legitimate captions existing is so wild. They don’t have to use these!! They’re putting in more effort to make their product worse!!
Here's the ones from my Gundam watch thread (which is #PhoenixWatches0079 if you want context for them)

I have always loved the Locust! Very cool light mech!
Mech Advent 2025 Day 14: Locust. This is a semi-canon scheme designed by a customer, based on "throwback" USAF colors. I did nine 'Mechs in this pattern and have a bunch of supporting units on my bench. It's very cool and fun. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2025

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I really liked MW3 and played through the campaign again even years after MW4 and MW4 Mercenaries had come out. I like the color palette they used for the world and mechs and it was a big contrast compared to MW4. MW4 was way more colorful which at times detracted from the experience in my opinion
