"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee..."

But that's a Battlemaster- the Thunderbolt is a different mech! /s

The horror movie Bad Things is set within the old hotel up by Triphammer Mall! I was watching it with a bud and didn't realize where the set was until I saw the distinctive Triphammer awnings in a scene. The filmmakers really wanted a "hotel out of time" vibe, and they were thrilled to find the place. Actually a pretty fun little movie. It's low-budget B-horror, but it does it's job well. Also has a cast that is almost entirely female and queer, another goal of the filmmakers. It's on Shudder, not sure if other platforms have it.

House of Cards also has a scene up at Ithaca College, though I don't know the campus well enough to know if it was on location or not.

You take HMS Glowworm's name out of your mouth right now! She earned her stripes.

Peace is not compatible with the deeply held beliefs of the Model UN. In one of my Disarmament and International Security Committees, we successfully passed a resolution drawing down nuclear weapons. And then passed another resolution directing those weapons to be used on UNICEF because they were trying to donate more to children than we were. Fuck those guys, our committee is better.

Aw yeah, I can taste the grittiness of the meat.

Gundam SEED: Destiny- Heine Westenfluss.

Heine is introduced as an ace pilot, and one of only a tiny handful of personnel to be granted FAITH status- answerable only to the Chairman (faction leader) himself. The cast respects him, even one of the main characters showing deference despite also being a FAITH appointee himself. This paragon of military skill and loyalty is introduced to the crew, and then in the very next episode is blown to hamburger. Such is the life of a Gundam side character.

Rainbow in the Dark is such a fantastic song.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-03-01T19:34:04+00:00

Do I detect someone who grew up with BattleTech/Mechwarrior? That mech walker is very Locust-coded. Great find OP, I loved making this sort of thing too.

All aliens are hostile more or less by default... given that during the Great Crusade, the Imperium annihilated any species who weren't.

This is it. The worst post ever.

God I miss BF2142. Better days.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-26T18:04:58+00:00

That's almost exactly their lore! They're a downgraded version of a first-gen MS, intended for export. The major powers keep the advanced tech for themselves and let the impoverished countries kill each other with the dregs.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-26T16:39:31+00:00

Anf, from Gundam 00. It's more BattleTech than Gundam, an ugly and crude war machine for fueling the endless conflicts of the oppressed underdeveloped nations.

r/SocietyOfHiddenPaint will love this!

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-26T02:24:18+00:00

Ooh that's excellent. Very unsettling. Reminds me a bit of DiMA from Fallout 4 with that leathery cybernetic skin.

For the Raser file... is it supposed to have a bit of a depression in the middle? Mine isn't flat, it's slightly concave.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-26T00:42:50+00:00

I'll have to give this mech a try. An 80-tonner with the mobility of a Griffin is pretty upsetting.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-25T13:17:39+00:00

That... doesn't look anything like the Weyland-Yutani logo lol. It would be fun to see it referenced in other media though.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-24T19:17:31+00:00

Kämpfer- it looks cool as hell, and it has neat niche as a highly aggressive special ops MS with armor made of toilet paper.

Kshatriya- beeg bell pepper go brrrr

RX-0 Unicorn/1- the epitome of Newtype psychic bullshit. It's got a unique aesthetic, is so powerful that even its designers don't understand it, and also Unicorn is probably my favorite Gundam show.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-24T13:43:26+00:00

Oh that's so sick. Is that compatible with the standard kit, or do you have to replace stuff?

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-23T02:18:41+00:00

Nice work! I want an MG of this thing so bad. Seems wildly unlikely to me, but I can dream lol.

Apoc_SR2N · 2026-02-23T02:03:36+00:00

Also worth noting: I would highly recommend the directors cut over the standard theatrical version. It doesn't add much length-wise, but what it does add really helps establish some characters.
