    Me three. I... Wait, I've been deemed an "essential worker" and I've been too busy and stressed to care about anime and games.

    I mean, isn't that basically a rule of acquisition already? "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Sounds a lot to me like "The riskier the road, the greater the profit". Nog is a man of two worlds, and I think he can straddle the line between Starfleet-acceptable and Ferengi-approved. Also, how the heck is a Trek licenseholder even ALLOWED to "crowdsource" the design of an Enterprise? I would think CBS or Paramount or Star Trek Licensing LLC or whoever the hell owns the brand these days would be ADAMANT about controlling with the Enterprise looks like.

    I'm okay with taking parts off or swapping them around sometimes*, but this is a lazy half-butted way to do it. You don't just toss half the friggin' car aside and go "there, transformation finished" *I'm actually harsher on scorpion-tail assemblies that exist only so the part you're swapping is never technically detached. They get in the way and do not meaningfully change the part's relationship with the rest of the toy.

    A VF-0 with YF-25 engines... that can't be good for the airframe, or anything attached to or contained within it.

    NO ONE deserves to be Quamzin's boss.

    I thought Delta was "okay" until the funeral. Until that point I thought they'd overpromised and underdelivered, but it was still kinda interesting. But after that it went into a holding pattern for several episodes, with an episode consisting almost entirely of exposition summarizing the franchise to date(badly), and I just completely lost interest. ... But I still insist that Lady M is Doctor Chiba!

    I remember watching this show, but all I remember of it is "space elves in spandex".

    I saw it in this thread, actually. Understandably easy to miss given we're in a megathread. It was sourced from Macross Chronicle originally. It isn't all about raw performance, it is about how it FEELS. Remember that one of the things Isamu wanted was the YF-19's original flight control software... let's ignore that this software was responsible for multiple test-pilot deaths, and deemed so completely unsalvagable that it was thrown out and replaced with a reworked version of the VF-11 code. It offered the feel that Isamu wanted.

    It is totally official. He gave Neumann his entire UN Spacey retirement fund and his life savings to get a custom VF-19 that is close in configuration to the YF-19 he tested/saved the world with. Because no plane he's been in since has been even remotely as fun to fly. This was after he tried and failed to buy an entire export-restricted VF-19 one piece at a time. He's lucky Neumann noticed before the UNS did. I love Isamu. (Neumann got around the export restriction by declaring Isamu's custom VF-19 to be a testbed for a VF-19 modernization program, and Isamu the test pilot for the program. No, Isamu's not getting a paycheck for his testpilot services.)

    Yup. I firmly believe he is being 100% truthful when he says luck is one of his skills. He knows fortune smiles upon him, and does crazy things because of it. ... What WAS the official government explanation for what he was doing there, anyways? Or did they just say "this guy saved you all from the crazy computer, please don't ask questions because he can't hear you over ths noise ALL THESE MEDALS MAKE!"

    Also the fact that he didn't actually set out to stop Sharon Apple, and everyone knew it. He set out to wreck the unveiling and official adoption of the Ghost X9. Presumably by blowing it up and embarrassing everyone talking up how much better than a manned fighter it would be. His greatest skill, luck, dropped something really heroic to blow up into his path and saved his bacon.

    Which is just so Isamu. Attempt to commit minor treason just so he can fly his favorite plane ever, and then actually get away with it.

    Under hilariously unique circumstances.
  14. JB0
    Fair enough.
  15. JB0
    Why wait? It has been on sale for years.
  16. JB0
    Not gonna lie, I'd watch it.

    I think the PS5 looks cool. The XBSX is literally just a gray box. I might pick one up eventually.

    Transformers X Stealth. Make it happen, Hasbro! *runs away*

    I thought they were okay. I probably wouldn't have bought them if I hadn't already decided I wanted to attach them to Combiner Wars Sky Lynx. I skipped Grimlock because he was a steaming turd.

    "A fantastic read. 5 out of 5!" I wonder how much they paid to get that review.
  21. JB0
    No, it can't be! It is merely on hiatus due to the pandemic! I have to know what happens next time in Sad Dana and the 30-Foot Zombies!
  22. JB0
    Didn't ATGames already do that like six times?
  23. JB0
    Sega has you covered on that front. I thought they were shitposting, as they are known to do. But no, they are actually selling a replica screen magnifier to go on their replica Game Gear. Sega gonna Sega.

    Honestly, I think this is more like the keychain LCD games from the turn of the century than anything else. It isn't meant to be a great game platform, it is a cute little nostalgia piece.

    Needs a tiny TV tuner cartridge.
