Suppose this is as good a place as any; it's the closest we've got to a "general" thread (and my post doesn't merit its own).
I got an email from someone letting me know Google is shuddering Google Groups' support for new posts, meaning the easiest way to access and post to Alt.toys.transformers is going away. I made a post there and it reminded me of here, so I thought I would pop by and leave an update for anyone who's curious. Several of you are my Facebook friends so none of this will be shocking information to you, but thought I would still pop in for posterity while I was thinking about it. Not sure when I last popped in and posted, so I figure I'll start with the basics:
I got married in 2017 to my girlfriend of 7 years, still together today.
onslaught86 came from NZ to be my best man! We have three cats. Bought a house during the first 2 weeks of the pandemic for $8000--all prices dropped by $10-15K those first 2 weeks and unless you were literally in the market to buy a house, you probably didn't realize that. The house was livable where it was and we spent the summer fixing it up--thanks to tax returns, my wife's stimulus unemployment and the $2000 government checks, we were able to fix it up pretty nicely. I built a studio specifically to house my toys and music equipment, here's a photo of my workspace:

In 2021 I pivoted from my failed music career to doing tabletop RPGs. That's been much more successful! All the info is at
http://tidalwavegames.com which, of course I would keep the branding on that. (I am so excited for Legacy Tidal Wave.) From there you can get all the social media bullshit if you're interested; the main thing is I have a Twitch now where I play obscure video games and promote TTRPG stuff. Also onslaughtsix.com is still in service and will always lead to all my social media, where you can find me.
Oh, and to keep it on topic: The most recent two pickups are Generations Galactic Man Shockwave and POTP Outback (or whatever he was called), filling in two holes I managed to make. Selects G2 Megatron is one of the only other big holes I intend to fill from the last few years; I own almost everything else that's come out that I care to own. The next most recent purchase from there is Tasmania Kid (his fake chest really annoys me) and Legacy Blitzwing, who I nabbed for like $25 on a Hasbro Pulse clearance deal--for that price he's very hard to pass up and is the best Blitzwing toy we've ever gotten, hands down. Very much motivates me to get rid of my other two.
Anyway: Take care of yourselves out here. You know where to find me if you need me.
