If I'd done it at 600 (preferred archive scan res for me) it'd be 11968x16748px and given this already kept crashing while being worked on I'm glad I only did it at 300. Just really lovely to have this piece of Ecco history recorded properly now.

My car is obnoxiously orange, okay. So I found out when looking into replacement mats to deal with an issue of wearing a hole in the carpeting under my pedals because the standard drivers mat never went high enough to protect that area that I could go nuts and just Oops All Orange my car...

New official Ecco merch and it's US only + shipping is PER item (when there's a 1/8 keychain random pull) is just. Rough. Oh and a 7" vinyl of my favourite track? Can't wait to have to pay $150 in aftermarket for that. Absolutely not a great start to my day lmao #originbeach

Yes, I could middle through a friend in the US to ensure I can get stuff before it's all sold out given I don't think they'll have the inventory once they sort international shipping, but the per-item shipping costs add up to $104 USD atop item cost (factoring 8 keychains for a full set chance)

The glee at PotD being the last milestone for this was great. More people should do deep dungeon. It’s very fun! Also you are INUNDATED with QoL for it these days (case in point: drowning in potions instead of farming potsherds for them!) #burgeoningflame

I just look for his dumb hat and staff in materials (affectionate)

I mean if SQEX ever wanted to clean it up off of a scan I do have the ARR Collectors Edition and made a BIG scan of it unmelted here LOL

I find it really funny he's mostly obscured in the art too, like this is legit an issue in all promo material that features source!BLM but it's heading for Mike Wazowski meme level funny at a decade in now.

Listen. It's the actual calamity five. Not the vrandtic five. I expect Nyelbert to make a very rare appearance but my source!version of him, who we named Orpheaux and have had for the last 10 years in our ongoing story? Gods. Mine.
