The US loves the cartels. They get us all the drugs we consume and give us a lucrative market to sell our surplus small arms.

Apple sells refurbs. The headset hasn't even been out two weeks yet. Give it time.

I saved a bunch of these wonderful creations and sent them to my fiancé. I could just link her here, but...

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑

AMV - 08th MS Team set to 10th Man Down by Nightwish in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Somewhat. It was nowhere to be found for quite awhile, and I figured it was lost to time. Then a few years ago my fiancé finally got into Nightwish so I did a search and there it was. Multiple versions are still up, so I'm hoping it stays that way.

I love Nightwish, and this is a great cover.

Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.

Edit: just posted the video over in [email protected] if anyone is interested

These States Are Basically Begging You to Get a Heat Pump in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.

I spent a good 10 minutes searching for a better picture than the production sketch. To the point where I'm wondering if my memory of the T floating by at the end of CCA is imagined. 😅

Edit: nope, not imagined. Thanks, low-res YT video!

So... I went the entire game without trying to shoot Zonai parts from a bow and arrow. So when I finally let myself look stuff up, I saw all sorts of crazy crap.

Today, I saw someone building a spring staircase to ascend. 🤯

Gundam Build Metaverse Ep2-3 [Spoilers] (startrek.website)
 

So episode 1 was introducing the characters, with a disjointed cliffhanger post-credits. Episode 2 started off with a flashback, then "I'll tell you everything." And episode 3 is plot armor helps prove that gunpla is ~~freedom~~ friendship. That's it. The rest is fanservice cameos.

What a nothingburger. Even going in with low expectations didn't help. Feels like a waste of good designs.

Gundam News 2023/10/17 - Kakarot197 on YT (m.youtube.com)
 

So... Bandai included CAD files for unreleased gunpla in the early access version of their metaverse software. Someone has already printed the MG for the new Freedom kit. And even though it was patched out, the installer has now been pulled completely from Bandai's site.

Neat.

I Tried the Gundam Metaverse Beta (And I Still Don't Get It) - Kakarot197 on YT (m.youtube.com)
 

This is a 15 minute evisceration. My jaw dropped at the system requirements and my forehead is bruised from the facepalming. The entire thing reeks of a C-suite stuffed suit being Very Smart and jumping on trends that either never happened or flopped two years after the fact.

Also, the "shopping" just opens the P-Bandai site in a browser window. Linked in my previous post. 🤦‍♂️

Apparently these went live at 11pm ET last night, but you need to filter by Campaign > Gundam Next Future.

  • EG Grandpa Eggshell edition
  • EG Lau (Gundam Base limited blue version)
  • Zakupla-Kun
  • HG Aerial (Recirculation color)
  • MG Freedom (Real Type)
  • MG Justice (Real Type ver "bright blue is totally realistic")

Eggshell Grandpa has been around for a while. Lau is definitely new. I believe the rest are as well.

Edit: these are the exclusives from the "Metaverse" trial. The "shopping" section of the "metaverse" just opens this P-Bandai page.
