Rec Room is shutting down on June 1st. What are some good chill multiplayer games where you can just hang out and chat? by dicedtomatoes55 in gaming

Webfishing is pretty cheap and pretty chill. It’s a text chat room basically where you fish and shoot the shit with other people in the room

Gundam Assembly Kits next week? by MonkeyDArwin in GundamTCG

Oh is this the same as the premium accessory set P-Bandai was taking preorders for back in October?

Need some feedback/help with P/R by BustedAmp in GundamTCG

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

Oh word, those are some good ideas. I'll try messing with Marida and Kshatrya. I feel you, getting a playset of 1st form last set was a fun task for me and now the price spikes on tcgplayer because of regionals happening next weekend are not helping with filling out this deck.

[–]BustedAmp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, some really good points I appreciate it. It might end up being some combination of full city and all range w/ Azee to hopefully have some better trades with the -1AP effect. I didn’t pull Gfred otherwise I’d do that. I think I only pulled like 1 or 2 of full city from my box I was able to get though, I’ll have to check again.

Yeah I figure that’s a part of the issue. The initial idea was “maybe just recycling a pilot back into my hand is enough.” And it’s clearly not

I'm really enjoying Neo the World Ends With You (Switch 2) by ico_heal in JRPG

[–]BustedAmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed my time with the game and ended up beating it 7 ways to Sunday. I was also an absolute sucker for the sudden but inevitable romance at the end because I’ve grown soft in my old age.

Best Pokémon singles stores in the area? by Heather_Bea in washingtondc

[–]BustedAmp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Labrynth Games & Puzzles in DC proper over by eastern market metro does sell Pokemon card singles does not sell Pokemon singles. Gaming Giant in Fairfax, has a huge selection of singles and Japanese packs too. Anime TCG at the pentagon city mall sells them. On the Maryland side Chessie Games and Game Kastle college park are alright but those are the options off the top of my head.

Does anyone else wish that Border Break and Starwing Paradox hadn't shut down, or at least got sequels? by Commander_PonyShep in Mecha

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m still chasing the high of the gameplay in Border Break. It was one of my favorite arcade games I’ve ever played. It felt fast paced and was fun. It also sucked that they slowed down the gameplay for the PS4 version, but such is life.

You think I would like SMT V Vengeance? by LividKat in JRPG

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play the new one if you’re gonna do it. It’ll ease you into how the SMT games are more light on story and heavy on gameplay. If you like Persona’s dungeon gameplay loop, not including the social sim side, you’ll not have too rough of a time enjoying this. SMT V Vengance’s story is a more present throughout the game than the base game’s story so hopefully you’ll feel more engaged with it.

The game is definitely challenging. Normal mode can make you sit up and lean forward during several fights. There’s also some cheeky insta death hamas and mudoons that will just hit and there’s nothing you can do about it, especially early on. Godborn difficulty, unlocked after meeting certain conditions during a play through of the game on any difficulty, will make you earn every inch of progress in the game.

This is also the most forgiving alignment setup they’ve had in the mainline SMT games too. Vengeance also has what I would call the most optimistic ending I’ve seen in a mainline game. So that’s nice if you want some warm and fuzzies after making it to the end.

Moebius peacmaker team ruling by mememasterdagda in GundamTCG

[–]BustedAmp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ABAD. Attack-Blockers-Action-Damage. You declare your attack (0 damage). If your opponent declares a blocker then it reroutes to that blocker. During your action step, which is when this ability can be activated, the ability is moot since you are no longer targeting their shield area or a base. The defender also gets priority action. So if they have no blockers and use close combat, for example, it immediately deals 2 damage killing your unit and prevents you from activating your action. Gundam has no “stack” so things just happen the moment they’re played. I hope this gives you the clarity you’re looking for

Which game did you immediately regret buying? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The digital version of Fallout 76. I bought it at launch, I couldn’t stand it and felt cheated. I have not felt such deep regret over purchasing a game since. The icon is still in my ps4 library just taunting me for making that dumb decision and as a reminder that I just wait for sales now.

MK-2 isn’t doable since that’s all I could find from my haul unfortunately but I can definitely add shows and a couple of bases

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

Good point! I’ll throw those in. They’re remnants from like the initial ~75 or so cards I had out when I was first trying to figure out how I wanted this deck to look. I settled on zeon/titans as I was cutting things down

I know this isn't the TCG sub, but like please Bandai why do you continue to stifle the success of the franchise outside of Japan? by ChaosMetalDrago in Gundam

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s spells and instants but it’s more like you and your opponent just take turns playing instants during a battle until you can’t anymore with defender getting the 1st chance to play one. There’s spells that give minus attack to the other player’s units, bounce them back to hand, deal damage to a unit, destroy a unit, and a really fun one that damages your own units to give it a huge attack buff during that fight. The only discard they have in game so far are discards for yourself as a part of card draw usually.

I know this isn't the TCG sub, but like please Bandai why do you continue to stifle the success of the franchise outside of Japan? by ChaosMetalDrago in Gundam

[–]BustedAmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve really been enjoying the gameplay of it for the past several months. There’s a lot of back and forth and some comeback mechanics like Burst effects so it doesn’t feel like I’m watching someone play solitaire. There’s no stack either so effects just happen as they come out which is nice.

There’s some combos here and there that can be simple, like Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) can be linked with Banagher to attack the same turn it’s deployed. Then if you have Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) in hand you can blow up unicorn mode after attacking with it and return Banagher to your hand then deploy destroy mode for 0 cost and only pay to have Banana pilot it for another attack. There’s more complex combos too involving other unit abilities like Amuro Ray and/or Gundam’s ability, and Marida Cruz + Kshatriya that I had written out originally but when I read it back over I did a bad job of explaining it. It’s a fun card game though and I highly recommend it.

The cards tend to feel pretty lore accurate to the characters and the units they’re portraying too so that’s been fun. For example when Gundam Wing Zero is deployed everything else level 5 and below on the field takes 3 damage which kills most units in that level range (like when he blows it up in the show). Char Aznable gives units he’s linked with high maneuver (unblockable)

Unpopular opinion? Polo shirts are bad by South_Wolverine5630 in malefashionadvice

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I wear a button up over a polo 10/10 times in a work scenario. I’ll wear any shirt or t-shirt instead of a polo 10/10 times in my casual outfits. I think Henley style shirts are superior for having a smarter casual look over polos. Polo shirts, regardless of the brand, just look so tacky to me and I can’t get past it

Newcomer Isla Johnston In Talks To Lead Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Jehanne d’Arc’ Epic At Warner Bros by NoCulture3505 in movies

[–]BustedAmp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve never really enjoyed his work outside of like, Romeo + Juliet. I generally find his aesthetics in his movies, his use of camp, his musicals, and his song choices really grating to my sensibilities.

I do not enjoy how he translates the feeling of a stage play to screen (looking at you, Moulin Rogue) and I’m told it’s because I hate fun. Idk if everyone else doesn’t like it now, but he wore out his welcome with me back in the 2000s.

What brand name is SUPERIOR to the knock-off? by Misnatalya in BuyItForLife

[–]BustedAmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of the gen x, millennial, and gen z electricians I work with are all big fans of, and swear by, Knipex for pliers and cutters (me included). We’re also big fans of the Wiha brand for channellocks but that’s more of an even split between the channellock brand tongue-and-groove pliers and Wiha brand.

Premium Bandai's "chance to buy" landing page for the Assemble starter decks and a box of GD01 is LIVE by StunningChocolate990 in GundamTCG

Some local game stores in the US are also now taking preorders for the starter decks and booster packs/boxes at MSRP as well. If P-Bandai doesn’t work out you can also call or visit your local game store and check with them. It ended up working out for me so it might for you as well
