I wish I could take credit for the paint job, but all I did was some minor touch-ups after snipping off the runners. I guess I should've been a little more clear in the title. Here's the kit: https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2588123001002

Thanks for the heads-up on the embedded images, that is indeed a PITA. I've stuck with kbin/mbin because I browse on desktop and am not a fan of Lemmy's UI. Maybe I'll take a look at it again at some point.

Love this guy, probably my favorite "grunt" unit. I built the MG version, and eventually want to get a 2nd one to paint.

I saw some dragonflies flying around my backyard the other day and was reminded of that fact.

I would like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, please.

And I found some memes: https://staging.cohostcdn.org/attachment/446b97ec-ff79-4de2-8cfd-86041d0cf395/7.jpg https://i.redd.it/xcgz6kjmtwv71.jpg

Not at all. You can buy a receiver to use Xbox's proprietary wireless standard, which is marginally faster than bluetooth, but I use an Xbox Series X controller with my pc over bluetooth and it works just fine.

You'll need to check the specs of your laptop to be sure, but most laptops nowadays have a bluetooth receiver built in. All you need to do is pair your xbox controller to it (and it's natively supported in Windows) and you're good to go.

I'm looking forward most to the co-op missions. I liked those in SC2 and wished they had expanded on them more.

Oh, I'm well aware. It was pretty amusing to play around with.

Satisfactory did it first: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Cyber_Wagon https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Satisfactory-Cyber-Wagon.jpg

This was added in 2020. It's kinda hard to tell in the pics, but it even has square wheels.

He has bills to pay like the rest of us, and considering he left traditional games media to start a crowdfunded project (NoClip), I doubt he would take a deal like this unless he needed to.

I prefer 1/100 models for their size and extra detail, but there's a lot more selection with HG kits. I've only built a couple RG kits.

Since you mentioned SD kits, check out the MGSD kits. Both are great builds and look nice with good articulation.

I haven't moved since I started Gunpla, but I would suggest plastic containers or sturdy cardboard boxes and layer with egg crate foam. Also disassemble the models a bit (arms, legs, weapons, backpack) before packing to move.

Here are some of the kits available during the tour: https://p-bandai.com/us/search?brand=05-999001075

Per the link, Gundam Base and Event exclusives will also be available on p-bandai after the tour.

I've built the RX-178 MK-II. It's a really good build, especially for being so old. The only thing I can think of mentioning for it is it has screws, so you'll need a small phillips head screwdriver.

Hopefully finishing the paint job on my latest model and starting the build process.

I'm on my 2nd Cloud 2 headset, love them. The only issue is the plastic on the sides tends to crack after a couple years.

When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.

I was helping a user reset their password and the convo went something like this: Me: Ok, your temporary password is Password1. Log in with that and you'll be prompted to change it. User: Is that a capital 1? Me: No, just a regular 1.

Yeah, for sure. Ever since I started gunpla, I saw this guy and thought "He looks ridiculous... I want him."

Me too! I'm not going anywhere over the next 2 weeks, but it will be nice to have the time off.

I bought that on a whim when it released and the worst part about it IMO was the limited replay value.

The best games in this regard are the ones that let you rebind everything and also have an alternate set of keymappings.

but at a glance

You must have missed this part. I'm well aware that Blue Protocol and Genshin Impact are very different, BUT AT A GLANCE, meaning only saw a few seconds of a trailer or some banner ads or something similar, they do look similar. It's funny you bring up BotW, since many called Genshin a BotW ripoff, despite them not having much in common outside of being open world and same art style, BUT AT A GLANCE, they do look very similar. Anyone who looks into these games for more than 30 seconds should be able to see they're quite different, but most will only be exposed to a few seconds of marketing, if anything, unless they're actively looking for more info.

In Japan. It's supposed to release globally sometime this year.

It's an open world anime game with action combat. Sure, there's more to it than that, but at a glance, I can see how people can make that connection.

The article title seems to oversimplify things a little with the "too hard" bit. I read a couple dozen negative reviews, and most cite poor performance, copy-paste boss design, too much hp and/or too little player damage, and unfair mechanics. Sure, those last two aspects could be seen as "too hard", but they read like there's a difficulty spike from the base game. Whether this is a case of players needing to adapt or whether there's an actual issue here, I don't know, but seems there's more to this than just a case of players complaining about a hard game being hard.

I think he's liked more because he's relatable, rather than he's an interesting character. Personally, I think his pranks on Dwight are amusing, but everything else about him is nothing special.

I think games with sprites are great, but I can't say the same for low poly 3d games. Not every 3d game needs to have super high fidelity with millions of polygons making up each character's face, but I think games using n64/ps1-style models is a bit too far in the opposite direction.

I knew there was some jank with the fluid system, but not to this degree. I now feel less bad about leaving some pipe setups in a "good enough" state instead of optimizing.

Typically when looking at upgrades, I upgrade the cpu, mobo, and ram together. Since a new mobo normally means support for faster cpu/ram (and possibly a new socket, so a new cpu is needed anyways), it makes sense to upgrade the 3 at the same time.

Haven't played it myself, but from what a friend who has played it told me and from what I've read, the game was pretty buggy after launch, and the devs didn't put much post-launch work into it.

Also, it's an isometric ARPG, akin to Diablo, rather than a MOBA. Check out Last Epoch if you're looking for a good ARPG.

"I fucked your mom"

Oh, so now you're disappointing other people's parents?

The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they're my only dvd and blu ray players.

You play until you're no longer having fun, then you stop.

Because it's nice to have options, and as we've seen time and time again, once a certain site/service becomes the de facto for that niche, it's all too easy for them to start squeezing their userbase for more money.

If you think Nexus won't go down that route (they have overall been pretty good to their users so far), there are still other concerns, like imposing restrictive rules, services going down, the site being sold, etc.

They don't care about their own long term survival. Their goal is to boost the next quarter and collect their bonuses, and when things go south, they jump ship with their golden parachutes and head to their next executive job.

Ubisoft has stated in the article they will be redeployed to XDefiant and Rainbow Six.

Quite a few people in The Division community loved the Survival mode from Division 1, so I figured would have had a good audience. I'm a Division fan, but didn't care for Survival or the Beta of Heartland, so can't say I'm heartbroken over this.

Short and powerful. The feeling of your bowels suddenly deflating is satisfying.

It's worth noting this will also be coming to PS4/5, Xbox, Steam, and Epic.
