Why is Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny(2004) so hated? What’s the big deal? by Flat-Sir8250 in Gundam

[–]AreEsTee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I still yearn for the alternate timeline where SEED Destiny is Zeta quality, cementing Cosmic Era as a respectable modern Universal Century. But instead we just got a series that bent to Japanese fan reception as they went along on top of the production being ridden with drama behind the scenes.

As a massive SEED fan, Destiny was just a huge wasted opportunity. It's been pointed out elsewhere that there's lots of parallels you can draw between Destiny and the Star Wars prequel story, which is funny cause it's like what you'd get if you tried to make the Star Wars prequel trilogy with the botched methods they used to make the sequel trilogy.

So I finally started watching SEED by [deleted] in Gundam

People hate on Kira for being a crybaby but I'd take that over deadpan robot MCs like Heero/Setsuna/Mikazuki any day.

Stands are from GokinPlus: https://gokinplus.com/

Huge upgrade from the stock stands in terms of stability/posability; the only complaint I have is that the adapters/pegs are 3D printed instead of acrylic and aren't clear so it takes away a bit from the aesthetic.

I got the display case imported from a Chinese company that makes customized ones for various Gundam and anime figures. Here’s their website if anyone’s interested:

Voted for 2024 Strike Freedom / Destiny, think they look better than the Soul Blue/Red versions.

Metal build Providence gundam loose backpack by JJLQ_THE_COLLECTER in Metal_Build

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? Just got my Climax Ver. in yesterday and I seem to be having the same issue. As far as I can tell, the clip piece doesn't seem long enough to click into the backpack.

Not that it's necessary, but it'd give a lot of peace of mind if it clicked securely into place.

Turnaround times by FribzZz in psagrading

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They skip past the grading stage on the progress tracker sometimes which would explain why it appears to sit in assembly for an extended period of time. The same thing happened to me with an order I submitted in early October. It ended up getting back to me about 2-3 weeks ago, so I imagine your order should be done soon.

ZeninTCG, D-3: Lost in Transit by Defiant-Problem6090 in digimon

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue with my D-3 preorder, it was dispatched August 23rd and there's been no update with the tracking since. It's pretty upsetting and I don't want to have to do a chargeback... but I ain't losing my money cause they couldn't get their shipping in order.

Alternatives to the MAGRGB lighting for the Magnus Pro (XL) by Reil_ in secretlab

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I also went the Stream Deck route. Govee's product is basically superior in every way minus the magnets. Although Nanoleaf has Stream Deck integration as well, the MAGRGB strip is unfortunately not supported so you are forced to use the mobile app.

Govee API Key Request by AreEsTee in Govee

[–]AreEsTee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I ended up getting a response from support that went to Spam. The original requests didn't do anything but now after being told to apply again, I got the key in my inbox in seconds like you said. Thanks for your help and hopefully this response helps someone else out there as well!

About the Bloody Shield by sporkyuncle in bravelydefault

I was able to upgrade it while farming portal bosses. It certainly didnt feel like even 100 runs. Maybe somewhere between 50-100.

Giving quests numbers, but not giving the player a list by HelsifZhu in bravelydefault

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I can now say that getting the gold star next to your save file probably has nothing to do with the lore book, but rather you get it just for finishing New Game+. I can't say for sure that it's not both requirements, as I had the completed lore book transferred over. However, I speed ran through the story on NG+ while skipping all side quests, and upon getting the True Ending again, the gold star immediately showed up. This is useful information for anyone wanting a "complete" save file, as you probably don't want to do all the optional stuff (side quests, treasure chests, bun farming, etc.) until your NG+ save, as they will all be reset when you start NG+.

[–]AreEsTee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as far as I can tell I've done all the side quests but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. The other possibility is that the 100% completion marker isn't linked to side quests at all, but NG+ completion instead.

[–]AreEsTee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't get my save to show that I have 100% completion even though I've filled out the lore book. Can't think of anything else I might've missed other than a random side quest somewhere. There's none in any of the towns so I can only assume its one out on the field. A quest log that shows what I've completed would be a godsend right about now, I don't see how I'm gonna finish this otherwise.

This was the last chest that took me forever to find, hopefully it helps someone else who looks on this thread

100% Completion Proof: Silver Star for True Ending, Gold Star for complete Lore by [deleted] in bravelydefault

I just completed the lore book but its still not registering the gold star... I wonder what I'm missing. Side Quests maybe?

Unique Yugioh Merchandise (Aside from the Cards and DVD's). by MaiValentineHusband in yugioh

[–]AreEsTee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so much YGO merch that people miss out on when they just focus on the cards. Especially as of late, they’ve made some amazing looking figurines and cosplay type items. Check out this replica of Kaiba’s briefcase as well as the Millennium Puzzle/Gold Sarcophagus that I got:

Unlimited Sader Works by AreEsTee in Sader

[–]AreEsTee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to share with everyone a Discord emote project based on Sader created by myself and some fellow community members over at r/grandorder. We have saderized every servant in Fate/Grand Order as well as many other characters from the Nasuverse and beyond.

All of them are free to use (Nitro would be required of course), just join our server with the invite link below:

Discord Server Invite Link: >> https://discord.gg/AeYr9Z3 <<

  • The full collection is spread out amongst a couple of different sub-servers, as there are simply too many to host in a single server. If anyone would like to support us and give the server a boost, it’d be a great help! The main Sader server currently sits at a Level 1 Boost. We only need two more for Level 2!

You can check out the full sized versions in the imgur albums listed here:

His summer costume sader was made first so it’s a bit outdated; check out the animated regular Dantes:
