  1. I don't know of any better place to put this, but I had to share: https://www.hlj.com/pai-pai-nyan-cuddly-kitties-on-soft-titties-photo-album-gks31388 Japan you continue to confound me and pique my interest in equal measure.

    Well, at least the shipping is free.
  3. Oh wow, completely forgot, here you are: The show loves keeping her a ball of anxiety, so... kind of. Small steps, each season.
  4. That is, uh... That is one hell of a thumbnail.
  5. Former Intel principal engineer on, well, how to fix Intel. An hour long, so get some popcorn ready.
  6. I haven't followed this at all. Is this a different release from their original VF-4? ...was there an original VF-4?
  7. Saw this in my feed today, I'm pretty sure this was being talked about a few pages ago?
  8. The 00 line is just becoming incestuous at this point. The Exia feeds into the 00, they both feed into the Quanta, the Quanta feeds back into this Exia... Next thing you'll see is 00 Gundam Repair XN Raiser 7S/G Full Saber GN Condenser Type (Trans Am Mode).
  9. You talking about this one? If not, show me please. EDIT: Ugh. The timing on seeing this news certainly wasn't great. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/two-air-tankers-collide-mid-air-while-fighting-nevada-wildfire-n1235398
  10. You weren't kidding. That thing got LOOOOOOW.
  11. This was asked previous page, but what's the "Black Ace" connection? What's up also with the Gadsden Flag lookalike? The spade I get - VFA-41 Black Aces - but the snake? Setting aside modern US political usage, it doesn't make sense in the context of VFA-41, Calibre Wings, or Macross Zero... unless I'm missing something.
  12. So people seem to be making a big connection between this motorized deck and Macross, but it's... not, right? Like it's not based on anything specifically Macross and is just an aircraft carrier deck/elevator, right? Just want clarification on that, since there seems to be some cross-talk with the Shin F-14 release.

    Sorry, I didn't mean that they're low quality. Just the designs themselves are VERY 80s. I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood.
  14. On the one hand, I'm just as hopeful that AMD nails 4th-gen Ryzen. Maybe even take over the gaming crown? On the other hand, I really hope Intel finds its footing again, and soon. Above and beyond the regular implications for the industry, the US losing one of its last bastions of processor manufacturing is a bit disconcerting, especially with competitors being increasingly tied not just to China but the Chinese government in particular. Or am I being paranoid in that regard? I admit I don't know the industry players all that well, just loose national associations.

    Phew. Those are some 80s-ass 80s designs.
  16. Except it can be argued he did exactly that with Delta, both by its aping Frontier and by its focus on idol groups a la AKB0048. That's not to say that's a bad thing. So long as he's tweaking old ideas for new projects, I wouldn't mind him taking another stab at the original premise for Delta, ie competing idol+flight demo groups.
  17. Good to know, I might just jump on a Maruyama then. I'd been debating for a while now anyhow.
  18. There's also been instances of video game companies - Sony, most notably, though MS and Nintendo recently, too, to an extent - tamping down on some of the more risque elements of not just but mostly (or at least most visibly) Japanese games. I don't know if that's part of what bluemax is referring to.
  19. Not cannon fodder Super armaments?
  20. Color me surprised. This type of content was the last thing I ever expected to see from HLJ. Proper discussion starts around the 16:15 mark, but the whole thing is pretty well worth listening to. Macross even gets mentioned, however briefly.
  21. To be fair, it seems like they're finally(!!!) getting their 10nm process in order, which should hopefully sustain them through to then. I don't recall how good their 10nm chips actually are, since they're in such short supply (IIRC they're only supplied in super low-wattage devices??? yes/no???) but I want to say they benchmarked really well, especially paired with their new iGPU tech. Can't for the life of me remember any details about them, though... ;k;lfajsdf But anyway, hopefully they can start shipping out laptop and desktop 10nm chips soon? Hopefully they'll be competitive?
  22. *throws another onto the pile* See? Doesn't look much different, does it? What's one more?
  23. Nice job on the Barbatos! Something about the MG's proportions doesn't sit right with me, but still, that combo of big ol' cannon and frakk-off mace just... it gets me every time. Mwah!
  24. 9800 might be the price with tax. (10% I think? I forget.) Take that off, it's about 8900, and then HLJ tend to take off another 10-15% on top of that to remain competitive, so... 8100? Today's conversion rate, that comes to ~$75. Seems about right. Dunno, but either way, preorder placed, looking forward to it.
