I've only seen the first episode, but so far I'm on board. The character animation is... Not great, and there was one scene I would swear they just dumped in a bunch of premade animation loops. However, the suits look awesome and the fights are interesting. Anytime a Zaku punts a tank I cheer, and the way the Gundam is portrayed was perfect.

I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:
"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"
I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.

Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

For a while streamers were doing this thing where they would renew a show for Season 2 before the Season 1 pilot even released. I guess it was a way to project confidence to the audience?? Or maybe just to get the production pipeline moving so there wouldn't be 2+ years in between season releases.
Anyway, they did that with Halo...

You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?

No, any business major could tell you they release the game, then lay everyone off and sell the IP for parts!

Yeah, though they had mythologized it so much, they probably would have continued searching!

And it was written that no hand but his should wield the Sword held in the Stone, but he did draw it out, like fire in his hand, and his glory did burn the world. Thus did it begin. Thus do we sing his Rebirth. Thus do we sing the beginning.

Back in 2000 I had no idea they were basically just speed running 10 years of OG Gundam stories. I also didn't know that the things the characters said didn't make any sense, I just assumed I was too dumb to get it.
The second half especially is a complete mess, but the power of nostalgia makes it a beautiful mess.

I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.
But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on... So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.

My dream scenario is having the map almost cleared, and then BAM there's a sneak attack on Super Earth. We're all suddenly fighting on a new tileset and have to push back from the center of the map.

Whether or not the game needs this anti-cheat feature, players are still finding ways to give other players huge amounts of Samples (a grindable resource with limited amounts included in each mission) and spawn in unreleased equipment and stratagems.
So clearly the GameGuard isn't as useful as it could be.

And a personal order to get Autocannon kills.
Locked and loaded, get those bots exploded.

Absolutely, I tend to do my best to skirt engagements and pick off targets before getting in close. Being able to hammer hard targets every 10 seconds or so is great; especially when backing up a group, it's great fire support.

Even these middle-aged hack frauds can't deny that Andor is real good!

As someone who bought a new Tesla in February, this is very much true - I'm certainly never going to pay 18-goddamn-thousand dollars for it. I just did my first road trip in the new car and wasn't inclined to spend $200 to try it out. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control was more than suitable.
When they wanted $5k for it, I could imagine the value proposition (though I'd never spend that much), but the current price point is outrageous.

What I really need is that red urbie. Three times faster than a normal urbie... So it can move slightly faster than a geriatric driver circling a parking lot.
My current merc company is The Iron Hounds. My medium lance is all Shadowhawks. Are there better medium mechs? Sure. Are they big stompy bois with cannons on their shoulder?? No. Been having a lot of fun with these guys - now I just want to get some Shadowhawk 5Ms and cram them with clan tech. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2f6d5682-a020-4cce-9f9d-9f2c92051c8b.png) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/afd7f7fe-f90a-498e-9c89-72f412269aaf.png)
Free RPG Day is Tomorrow, Sat 6/24 Do any of these titles look particularly interesting? Do you know of any other titles that aren't listed here? I'm always looking for fun one-offs to play.
My current campaign is set on the planet of Caradu. A formerly metropolitan world devastated by the Clone Wars. We're playing in the direct aftermath of the war's end. I can always use more interesting NPCs, give me a name, look, or even a short description of their motivation and I will put them in the game! (Assuming they're not a dumb joke🤣) Example NPC: **Gardner Prospas** - An older human man, with graying auburn hair, a thick close-trimmed beard, and an easy smile. He is compassionate, and jovial. Prospas travels Caradu by wagon sharing his rare herbs and saplings.
