    I know I'm late to the party, but I always like time loop stories. That said, I get what people have been saying that the show, at least these first seven episodes, get kind of same-y. Maybe it's just because I'm bingeing them, but the focus hangs a bit too much too long on the main character, with too little time spent on the rest of the ensemble. Makes her seem like a bit of a Mary Sue, though with a more balanced treatment she wouldn't be. Still, it's not enough of a detriment to undermine the whole thing. It's still a fun ride so far. EDIT: Them basically re-hashing Q though is kind of... uninspired. I don't know much about Trek, but I do know enough about him through osmosis that this performance makes my eyes roll just the slightest.

    There was the HP Envy x360 2-in-1 that released a couple months ago, which featured the mobile equivalent of these chips (R7 2700U, 4-core/8-thread, Vega 10). It also performed pretty well, though it was hampered by the Envy itself, which had a subpar battery, screen, and cooling. If the 2400G or 2700U were in a beefy chassis, I could see them really being able to stretch their legs.

    Actually, suspicion is landing more on DRAM prices nowadays than cryptomining. Since all memory modules (DRAM and VRAM) are made by only three companies, either they're artificially raising prices (which has been criminally investigated in the past, I think...?) or it's getting harder to source/produce memory. In other news, the Ryzen 2200G and 2400G APUs came out today, and all indications are that they're extremely good entry-level gaming chips. Some driver/compatibility optimization needs doing, of course, but they're definitely compelling products. I'm all but certain I'll use these in a couple simple builds with the nephews to play Overwatch on. Time to go parts hunting.

    So this trial really isn't selling me on their "limited ads" service. So far this has been the exact same experience as watching the show on TV, with only marginally fewer ads. Anyway, this first episode was decent. I'm no big fan of Trek - the only show I've seen is Voyager when it was airing, and the fandom hasn't been kind to it in the years since - so I can't speak to how well it adheres to "canon," but I think it's fine so far.

    That was my thinking as well. Maaya Sakamoto did the first opening for Frontier.

    https://www.dualshockers.com/xenogears-artists-20th-anniversary-figure-artwork/ "Ishigaki-sensei also contributed by showing what appears to be a drawing overlayed to a prototype of a figure of Fei’s Weltall, alongside the artwork used to create it (third and fourth pictures). He also mentioned that it’s “coming soon,” encouraging fans to wait just a little more." HNNNNNNNNGGGHHHH --- In other news, I spent the past five hours or so playing DB FighterZ with my friends. I got the hang of it almost immediately and went UN. DE. FEA. TED. Really awesome game. I won't get in-depth time with it until my copy gets here, though, which leaves me with some time to build up the thirst again. I also picked up a fightstick alongside the game - Newegg was (is?) having a DBFZ giveaway with certain fightsticks, so I went with a Qanba Crystal. The order was placed yesterday, and showed up this afternoon. How they managed that, I don't know, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. It's a nice stick from what I can tell, though I haven't had much experience with them in like fifteen years or so. I actually got it for SFVAE, not DBFZ. DBFZ played really well on a controller, but I've never been able to play SF well on a gamepad. Something about using the shoulder buttons as regular attack inputs just never sat well with me.

    Yeah, I got the free trial yesterday and canceled the subscription right away, too. Just gonna binge this show, then peace out of this "limited ads" nonsense.

    Well, there goes all of MY interest...

    BOOOOOO... ...oobs? Idols and fighters have forever ruined that word for me.
  11. kajnrig
    I'm gonna find me some examples now, because you've just piqued my interest in a major way... EDIT: But anyway, from all I've heard, these are all well-regarded kits. They all shared parts (I think the legs?), and all had some really interesting individualized details.

    They were talking in the movie thread that the characters seemed to have gotten breast enlargements, but this looks like Makina got hers downsized. The horror!!! Anyway, that armored pack looks goofy as sin. I was never a fan of the Super parts, and slapping giant missile launchers onto the front of those boosters only emphasizes how off-balance they look. Everything else is fine, it's literally just those parts plugged onto the wing roots that completely ruin the design. The Armored 25, everything fits nicely with each other. Here I get the feeling that they just jury-rigged a whole bunch of parts onto the back and arms and hoped for the best. The fact that the missile launchers connected to the wing boosters aren't centered also just... bothers me.

    Booooo..... ...oooOOO..... ...OOO!!! ....b. (No but for real boob size changes all the time depending on the fetish of the current animator. I remember me back in the day when Asuka Langley went from like a D to A-cup over the course of the show.) Anyway, it's good to hear the movie is tighter than the series, at least, though that kind of seems like a given. As for the spoilered mecha,

    I still like the idea of Life (last year's alien horror film, no one saw it) being the low-key origin story for Venom. That movie had its flaws, but it would work spectacularly as a Venom prequel. They could even just retcon it in without any fuss.

    I had to cancel my order with HLJ, unfortunately. If they're still available in a month or so, I'll snag a third kit, but for now I'll have to be satisfied with the two I got the first time around.

    @captain america did you ever make Destroids? I thought you only ever made Zentraedi mecha and that one human one that I always mistake for a Zentraedi mecha. Unless @big F's reference is just flying way above my head...
  17. kajnrig
    Thanks for the heads-up. I won't be biting right now, but maybe come May/June they'll still be in stock and I'll have the disposable income to spare.

    Another surprise delivery. Been looking forward to seeing these old Turn-A kits, especially that always menacing Turn-X.
  23. kajnrig
    I'll also take on this responsibility. I'll even keep it for you!
  24. kajnrig
    That was spectacularly beautiful.
