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

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

Do you really believe people shouldn’t be traveling abroad? Why is that? Do you believe everyone should stay home instead?

Or they’re going because now is a prime opportunity to visit on a budget. A tourist tax could mean some visitors staying for less time or deciding to visit somewhere else.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
