Biff/Ghillie/Thompson/alphabet models assembled in Gmod.ALT

Thanks for watching the new episode of 3D Mainichi Modern! I directed and made the player models for the special fight scene. You can download the models on the Steam Workshop here, and view the source files here. There is also a bonus Thompson that wasn’t used in the episode.

Thank you also to Mild, tksubby, Toni, Pafbar, Victor, Wynton, and mre who were the actors in this scene!

GLaDOS learns about isopods

When I made this comic, the Wikipedia page for “woodlouse” had a really long “common names” section. In early 2023, somebody pruned the section with the reasoning that Wikipedia “isn’t Urban Dictionary” and most of the names were “unsourcable”, but the older version of the article is still accessible here.
