davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[davidd]

Well, we don't all have time to post a photo a day. 

Most of us don't, not even me. But these days, hardly anyone bothers to post anything, not even comments.

I simply miss Ye Olden Dayes of the online forum-verse. When I first joined the pinky-street dot com forum ages ago, it was typical to find dozens of new posts every day. Multiple dozens in fact.

That was a long time ago now.

I was looking at some groups on Flickr today, and at the Discussions on those groups. Similar to online forums, participation in Flickr group discussions literally stopped, like, hit-a-brick-wall stopped, sometime around 2012, about the time participation in online forums took a nosedive.

Perhaps not coincidentally, 2012 was the year Facebook hit one-billion users.

Ah well, you're still here. I'm still here. Does that make us dinosaurs? Or iconoclasts, for resisting the "established norm" of Facebook and Instagram? Or are we rebels? And we'll never never be any good.

15 May - A Doll A Day 2025:

Cidney Aurum from Final Fantasy XV

.

Apparently this 1/6-scale action figure costume set represents a character called Cidney Aurum from the Final Fantasy XV video game.

I did not know that when I bought it. I just thought it looked kinda cool.

Maybe I should call the character Penelope.

As in... Penelope Pitstop.

As a nickname her friends could call her Penz, because in that yellow jacket she looks like the Penzoil logo.
