I member FF being such a memory hog and having too many random crash issues that I just couldn't take it anymo so I switched to Chrome (which I previously had disliked). It was also obvious that most developers were tailoring their web experience to Chrome and not FF. Dat was a few years ago tho.

Firefox had a bunch of core parts rewritten in Rust not too long ago (Firefox Quantum, they called it) and they’re continuing to make improvements. Memory safe languages like Rust improve security too. I didn't see anything in the release notes about copping sick prints faster tho.

Really weird proportions on that body: head, shoulders, arm/hand.
I personally don’t see it but eh
It’s the hand. If I cover it with my finger, everything looks normal. It’s awfully too long or otherwise out of proportion.

Still like Empathy more. But I’ll try for it anyway.
It would be hard to beat that one, IMO. I will probably be trying for a variant on this one because I don’t particularly care for it that much.
I think I prefer Music > Empathy.
They're both pretty incredible though.
I agree, they are both great. Empathy beats them all for me though :)

Almost ready to graduate to Variants, that was too easy. +1
Just a few more drops and you'll be a master!
It only took 9 years to get to even feeling that I could potentially buy a Sperry variant. I assume you just do a quick roll scroll when they go live and pick the one 3rd from the bottom for best chance.
Unless that’s what everyone thinks.

Also, you will likely change your mind fairly quickly when you start trying buying variants. But good luck, it’s definitely possible.

The run-up on this new print is quite a bit according to the current eBay auctions. I should have bought the reg, lol.

My guess is it’s Empathy FOMO. Though I don’t think this will hit 1k, it looks like it’s steady around 500ish for now.

^ You are probably right. I didn’t think it would hit $500, or not immediately anyway. I still should have bought the reg and not try for variant this time, lol.

I see a post about a refund from 2 days ago on Chuck's instagram.

If he oversold early this week, I hope he has it all sorted out by now.

She arrived safely today. Pretty quick shipping by Chuck, and very fast for USPS these days.

That was fast!

Are the colours dull or is it just a pic?
