Re:Building Together EP 286 — Let's Get Voxie

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) with cohosts Baked (@Bakedmetax) & Solo dolo (@solodolo) · Sat, Aug 8 2026 · 1:05:55 · ~7 speakers

TL;DR

• Saturday's "creation corner" episode: CEELOS dropped a long three-part AI prompt in the pinned tweet for turning your NFT/PFP into a voxel character with a movie- or video-game-themed background. [2:12]
• Verdict of the room: the prompt works on anything but sings on pixel art, since those PFPs are already boxy. Grok and Gemini rendered cleaner voxels than ChatGPT, though ChatGPT won on precise edits. [30:16]
• Baked is stress-testing a base44 game app plus a Gelatics game he expects to have testable in about a week — no wallet connection needed, just a browser link. [20:24] [1:03:01]
• Val dialed in half-asleep from Spain (there for an upcoming eclipse) and tapped out early. [9:40]
• CEELOS walked through sniping a rare four-trait Jimmys NFT cheap via the Anvil protocol. [46:00]
• The back half turned into a full-on "Did you see my Jimmy?" bit and warm banter with listeners Sam and Pharaoh before CEELOS handed the mic to Solo's after-space. [53:19]

Highlights

[2:12] The radio-DJ intro and the voxel mission. CEELOS opened episode 286 in full morning-show voice, laying out the day's game: copy the three-part prompt, paste each chunk, upload your JPEG, and watch it turn voxel. The whole point, as always on Saturdays, is nudging people to make fresh content and get their projects onto the timeline.

[3:53] Four days until we lose gravity. A quick conspiracy-theory detour: per the theorists, gravity's off on the 12th. CEELOS's public service announcement — "get your stuff in order... start bolting all your prized possessions to the ground."

[8:51] Baked's AI build report. Baked has been running a base44 game app through "reruns and reruns," telling the AI to do the same thing 40 times until it learns. He flagged that regens can now play as their PFP inside The Other Side, and teased a first Gelatics game ready for hand-picked testers in a week or two.

[13:03] CEELOS vs. his own Wi-Fi. The host robot-glitched out three separate times mid-spiel. Baked, unbothered: "Should we start sending smoke signals?" CEELOS returned vowing to call "singular wireless" to sort out why his home connection wasn't "at full optimization."

[14:45] AI reveals the PFP is a priest. Running his own prompt, CEELOS learned his pit boy PFP reads as a priest — "a priest from the 80s. He's got a full blown mullet... five o'clock shadow." A minute later, the timeline twist: "he's also from the future because he's smoking a vape." [16:15]

[27:00] Why is FaceTiming weird? A generational tangent that ran long and landed: CEELOS, home at 11:30pm drenched in sweat, got FaceTimed by the wife he's known since age eleven and still found it deeply weird — dodging his own face onscreen and slapping cat and dragon filters on himself until she told him to shut it off. Solo and Baked, in their twenties, confirmed FaceTime is just how they call.

[46:00] Sniping a four-trait Jimmys on Anvil. CEELOS narrated testing the Anvil protocol: swap into the project's token, scroll ~800 available NFTs, and hunt for the prized "no earrings, no hats, no glasses" four-trait character. He found one, got it cheap, and ran it through the voxel prompt.

[53:19] "Did you see my Jimmy?" CEELOS asked Baked about his Jimmys NFT and accidentally launched the episode's biggest bit. Baked, deadpan: "It's a really weird question to ask another man." Cue an extended detour into Jimmy as slang (James → Jimmy → prophylactic), which listener Sam had never heard, and Pharaoh got shy about explaining.

[1:00:54] Sam's very glamorous Saturday. Asked about her big weekend plans, Sam reported she's off to wash, straighten, and blow-dry her mom's hair after mom broke her shoulder — "Nothing fun. To be young. Am I right?" CEELOS's warm reframe: those become the memories, and besides, "you woke up and that in itself is a victory."

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — Host and MC; wrote and shared the three-part voxel prompt, narrated live NFT buys and Anvil sniping, and drove most of the tangents (gravity, FaceTime, golf, the Jimmy bit).
• Baked (@Bakedmetax) — Cohost; heads-down on AI game builds (base44, Gelatics), ChatGPT loyalist, promised a testable browser link soon; steady deadpan foil.
• ValerieKates (@valeriekates_) — Cohost dialing in exhausted from Spain ahead of an eclipse; noted she'd been using AI "the last 24 hours" — useful but "not always right" — before nodding off.
• Solo dolo (@solodolo) — Cohost; Grok user whose render CEELOS admitted beat his own, ballpark banter partner, and host of the promised (NFT-free, meme-coin-heavy) after-space.
• Sam — Listener brought up; comic anchor of the Jimmy bit and the source of the episode's warmest parting note.
• Pharaoh (@spade_pirates) — Invited up, stayed mostly shy; got shouted out for dressing his Dojo Kid PFP in a one-piece outfit.

Worth a full listen

• [27:00]–[29:16] — The FaceTime tangent in full: CEELOS's 11:30pm shower-and-a-phone-call saga and the twenties-vs-forties split on whether video-calling your friends is normal. The summary flattens the timing.
• [53:19]–[59:00] — The "Did you see my Jimmy?" run and the affectionate ribbing with Sam, Solo, and Pharaoh — a good-natured stretch of regulars who clearly like each other.
