I decided to test out the design by pasting it onto last year's Canvas. I also tested out outlining the the whole thing to see if it makes any difference, but I think I like the idea of other people drawing characters peeking though the ropes more than I like the ropes being easy to see from a distance.

Since people seem to like the idea of a ring I came up with this. At the top it's the actual size compared to what we did last year, and the big one is just zoomed in to see details better. I put our home instance, lemmy.zip's, logo on the canvas because it seemed empty otherwise. I'm also just now realizing we'd be putting a canvas on Canvas.

The basic rectangular footprint is 149x75, compared to last year's 86x50. We also might need to outline the ropes in white or something, depending on what's going on around us. Judging from last year's timelapse, it looks like we finished around the half way point, so going bigger shouldn't be that much of an issue, as long as we can stake our claim early. I used the color palette from last year so we shouldn't run into it looking different when it's time to start drawing.

I'm not super into the color of the ring ropes, but I thought I'd get people's opinions before doing to much more. What does everyone think?

I just happened to see a post about Canvas coming back last night so I looked into it this morning.

And to be fair I didn't think anyone would actually go for Mr. Iguana, I just wanted to have the option of a wrestler.

 

The Fediverse's collaborative pixel art event is coming back. Last year we successfully put down this championship belt, designed by me.

If people are interested in participating again this year I'm willing to design something else. Of course, if someone else wants to design something I'm down for that too.

Last year I just put together the belt as a suggestion and we went with it. This year I figured we could get some more community input on what the design should be. Another belt? A wrestling ring? Should we go all in on a Mr. Iguana mural? The world sucks, lets detract ourselves with some pixel art.

...no longer bonused for the Saudi shows, as those types of things are baked into their contracts now.

That makes it seem like talent can't even say no to the Saudi shows now, which sucks. On the bright side, Punk won't even get a big bag of money for sucking that blood covered dick.

The closest I know of is !tabletopminis@lemmy.world but it's mostly people posting minis they've painted. It's also not the most active. There's also !minipainting@lemmy.ml but the newest post is from 4 months ago.

Cultaholic also posted a video titled The Future of Cultaholic where the four originals look back on their time together. I understand that a title like that gets people to watch, but I was worried since their sister channel, Triple Jump, recently had to call it quits because of falling viewer numbers.

I know some people don't like them because of their list videos, but they also make some good documentary style content. I'll definitely miss Adam, but I'm sure the rest of the crew will do fine without him.

At first I thought WWE was using its history as a shitty company to sell a storyline, but it turns out WWE is just a shitty company.

Oh yeah, there's a reason I said I felt a bit better about him and not a ton.

 

I couldn’t sleep last night and ended up stumbling into some wrestling YouTube drama that I spent too much time looking into. Most of this was written well past my bedtime, with the rest written today, after not getting enough sleep, so sorry if it seems like the ramblings of a madman.

YouTube suggested this video to me, where it seems like Adam Blampied has started a new channel. Last I heard of him he was with WrestleTalk and No Rolls Barred. I don’t follow either of those channels so I figured I’d look into what was going on and share what I found here.

In case anyone doesn’t know, Adam Blampied started off on WhatCulture Wrestling. He was arguably the biggest name on the channel until he and a small group left in 2017 to start Cultaholic. Shortly before the channel’s launch he faced multiple allegations of trying to get fans to send him pics. He admitted to the claims, said he was getting help, and parted ways with the channel.

He resurfaced in early 2020 on a WrestleTalk video and soon became a regular on the channel. In late 2020 he launched what would become No Rolls Barred, a board gaming channel, and was also involved with partsFUNknown, a channel that covered wrestling and video games.

In 2023 he was placed on leave after new allegations came out that he returned to his old ways, and he eventually parted ways with those channels. He admitted to cheating on his partner with his accuser, but denied the actual allegations. He also has someone backing up at least part of his story. Even though this video has a clickbaity title, it goes into the details and seems like a decent overview of what happened.

That brings us back to where I started, with Blampied starting a new YouTube channel, BlampCo!, about wrestling and board games. He’s also been joined by someone he worked with on No Rolls Barred. Looking into it, the fan reaction seems positive, and she’s a woman, so hopefully that’s a good sign.

Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but I’m willing to give him another chance and hope the new channel does well. I also totally understand if people don’t want anything to do with him. Either way, I should probably go eat dinner so I can fall asleep watching Dynamite.

I found this going though some things but can't figure out what it's from. All the dice are wood, with the six on the outside having a standard 1-6 numbering, while the middle one counts by tens, from 10 to 60. The plastic case doesn't open and doesn't have any markings. They are loose enough you can 'role' the dice by rubbing the whole thing on the palm of your hand. It can kind of act like a fidget spinner, but I'm pretty sure it predates them. Any searching I've done has either turned up actual fidget spinner dice or sets of roleplaying dice, so I'm turning to all of you.

 
 

It sounds like he'll be fine, but that car is toast.

 

From what I've seen it's geared more toward kids/ families which I'm fine with. Maybe it'll be the thing that finally gets my kids into wrestling.
