From Florida, ironically.

It's almost like the entire narrative is just bad faith tribalism.

I thought Nintendo games never went on sale? 🤯

It's new math. In this new approach, the important thing is to ~~understand what you're doing~~ rebroadcast the narrative, rather than to get the right answer.

Sometimes I think my main hobby is collecting boxes, and my secondary hobby is building Gunpla.

- OP

Your box collection must be astounding if beauty like this is your side gig.

There's different quantity limits on different items. Some are only one per.

That said, the mods weren't scalping (at least as far as I know). Unlike a lot of other storefronts, once you put something in your cart on PB, it can't be sold out from under you. So people were loading up their carts and just letting them sit. Then someone on discord would say "is for me? 👉👈" or whatever, and someone would remove one from their cart while the other person refreshed like mad. They did this for HOURS when the II Neo Zeong was reprinted a few years ago. Their justification was that they were making sure the kits were received by fans and not gobbled up by scalpers. But it's still gatekeeping. People who weren't part of that Reddit/discord clique? Well, they can get fucked I guess. 🙄

I cannot articulate how perfect this synopsis is.

I paid dearly for mine. Compound interest is a bitch.

Love this song. The live versions with Floor are also fantastic.

Its saving grace is that pretty much everything comes back around if you're patient enough. I absolutely hate the timed preorder game, especially when there's not enough quantity to last more than a few minutes. I have missed every PB Efreet drop. 🙃 And then there's nonsense like the r/Gunpla mods running interference by loading up their carts with something in high demand (like, say, II Neo Zeong) and letting them go one or two at a time to make sure the in-crowd on discord can get their orders in. Buncha bullshit.

 

Finished up a rewatch of Zeta recently, and it just kind a solidified my already positive viewpoint. She took her lumps, learned from them, and ended up a more than competent pilot. All while keeping Kamille grounded and playing babysitter.

Anyone else have a favorite? Or a least favorite?

 

Basically minus duping with less steps. Requires no frame-perfect inputs.

 

Observant viewers will be able to determine exactly when the player's soul leaves their body.

I cannot begin to express how much pink Gundam marker was required to paint over that damn sword.

This is a song in two parts: the intro and the outro have pro-war call and return gang vocals, but the meat of the song is very clearly anti-war. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the juxtaposition was, but it works IMO.


Got one chance (infiltrate them) 
Get it right (terminate them) 
The Panzers will (permeate them) 
Break their pride (denigrate them)

And their people (retrograde them) 
Typhus (deteriorate them) 
Epidemic (devastate them) 
Take no prisoners (cremate them) 
(Burn!)

Going to war, give 'em hell 
D-Day, next stop Normandy 
Beginning of the end 
We know how to, and sure as shit, we'll win

"War is peace", sure man 
A retreat for the damned 
A playground for the demented 
A haven for those who walk this world 
Bereft of heart and soul

Love and war, they say all is fair 
Take his life, but won't take his hair 
Your body parts, your country spares 
By the way son, here's your wheelchair

He once had to be all he could be 
Now he's nothing for no one, nowhere to see 
Funny thing, he's like you and me 
It's a funny thing, a funny thing 
Tears streak his solemn stare 
Abandoned for wreckage, nobody cares

No one knew what would happen there 
No one spoke, no one even cared 
Don't ask what you can do for your country 
Ask what your country can do for you

Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no shit) 
Take no prisoners (take no-) 
(Shit)

Today I killed, he was just a boy 
Eight before him, I knew them all 
In the fields a dying oath 
I'd kill them all to save my own

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

Deliver me from this war 
It's not for me it's because of you 
Devil's instant; my eternity 
Obey to kill to save yourself

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell 
My path made up by their torn bodies 
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust 
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"

They wait for me far back home 
They live with eyes turned away 
They were the first ones to see 
They are the last ones to bleed

"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies 
A ruler's tool, a priest's excuse, a tyrant's delight 
I alone, the great white hunter 
I'll march till the dawn brings me rest

10th patriot at the gallows' pole!"

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight 
Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

 

Gotta love pausing on in-between cells.

Honestly I'd settle for an HG.
