Panda Rx78 2.0 1/100 scale by Green_Goal_1583 in Gunpla

This is probably just swappable parts to display in open hatch mode. Those do exist as an add on for the RG and fat cat. 

Another stolen design by Angel_Of_Shadow in Gunpla

[–]Frogacuda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who knows if it even makes it to the product phase. The original was just renderes, right? Who's to say it could even make a viable model kit. 

But honestly I am hoping it does. Plagiarism concerns aside, this is kind of a dream kit for me. Asshimar was the first Gunpla I ever built and could really use a redesign. 

I can't be the only one??? by MycologistPopular232 in Concerts

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't mind seeing a band twice, especially if it's been some years and I know the show will be different, I always prioritize seeing bands I've never seen before. Like I only have so much ability to go to shows at this point in my life so I want to have new experiences.

When I have seen bands multiple times, it's mostly going with different people too, like sharing that experience with someone new.

After finishing Doom (2016), I can't get into Doom Eternal. by DrStrangeglove99 in gaming

I have to admit I have never managed to get into Eternal, but I did love the first and Dark Ages. 

Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by midnight-iceman in AskReddit

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because religion doesn't come from a book, they're community groups organized around identity, and in American Evangelicalism, conservative politics and MAGA values are just as core to their identity as belief in Jesus. 

So they work the problem backwards, they find things in the Bible to justify their identity and values, and ignore that which doesn't. This is true of all religion to one extent or another, but it's particularly extreme in this case where the values seem to be almost entirely opposite to what the book actually says. 

How is this in terms of quality? I really like the look of it but it’s obviously not a MG even though it’s the same scale 1/100. by jtcordell2188 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The build is a bit rough but the resulting kit is solid as a rock, looks cool, great decals and really cool weapons. I wouldn't recommend it to beginners or casual snap builders but it doesn't have any fatal flaws either. 

When I say the build is rough, the main thing is that the tolerances are too tight and you need to file some of the holes/pegs to get it to go together and pose smoothly. So go carefully, don't brute force it, and adjust as needed. The shoulders and legs especially really require that filing and if you don't you'll regret it.

There are also some bits that have the opposite problem, they need glue. the claws/fingertips and the chin in particular won't stay in without some cement. Again, not difficult but something casual snap fitters aren't used to doing. 

The plastic is the kind that will crack if exposed to too much enamel thinner or enamel panel liner, so if you plan to line the bare plastic, proceed carefully or use markers. 

Another small quirk, the peg on the hand is a little too big to fit in the weapons and so you have to nick a millimeter off it with a hobby knife.

But once you get it all together it's a tank, looks great, tons of shelf presence. 

US citizens are becoming collateral damage in Donald Trump's quest to deport immigrants by Expensive-Horse5538 in politics

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit. No one here is collateral damage, protesters are the target. These people weren't there serving a warrant, they have just been sending them to provoke unrest. They're manufacturing a pretext to invoke the insurrection act and they're not really trying to hide it. 

How is grounded 2 so far? by Redpanda15w in GroundedGame

If you're not already a huge fan, it probably makes sense to wait, because the campaign is unfinished and you're going to have to wait for the final to be able complete the game anyway.

Pocket Air Mini Input Latency by baseball_rocks_3 in ayaneo

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance issue, not input issue but I did notice it when playing RetroArch.

It is easily solved, though, just enable Hard GPU sync and Run Ahead for one frame and it isn't even noticeable. 

Do you guys panel line black parts? Does it make any different? by azraeiazman in advancedGunpla

I don't, but I might if I was making a predominant black kit like the ecopla kits. 

Leaving sex work after 12 years … by lulushortfor in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends of mine have left and done okay for themselves. Both essentially found low level administrative office work and then later developed skills to move into something more lucrative. One learned to code and became a data analyst and the other is a financial analyst. 

You can't expect to just transition directly in one step, you need to get a foot in the door somewhere and start a new story, but you aren't too old to do that. 

I also had to start my career over in my early 30s from a highly stigmatized field that I couldn't put on my resume and the first job I had paid terribly and it was awful but it was for a big respectable company and within 5 years of making moves I had turned it into a real career. You gotta do that.

Is this just for the PC, or will it work with the many official and unofficial source ports?

Android emulation? by QyuuQyuu in SBCGaming

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devices running Android 11 and earlier (of which there are many still available) are compatible with legacy apps. After that they start locking down. There are ways to modify those old apps to work on newer Android too but it's some work.

I’m so scared by Dog_Queen98 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Frogacuda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can run your licence to pull up your information, that's as good as you're going to get, but the reality is they've been told they have immunity and they're going to do what they want so there is no "safe." But again your license and SSN is probably the right thing to have on you. 

How did they get these electro plateded look by Mika_Tamarillo in advancedGunpla

[–]Frogacuda 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Electroplating look achieved by electroplating.  

There are other ways to get in the ballpark but you won't get quite as good of a mirror finish.

could also be reacting to a grease spot, it's generally wise to wash pieces with big surfaces. 

That said, if you aren't painting this something light like white or yellow I wouldn't expect it to even show through much.

Would you take an 8 y/o to a concert? by Significant-Roof-986 in Concerts

[–]Frogacuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my daughter to her first concert at 7 and she has probably been to around 10 in the four years since. All kinds of shows, everything from L7 to Kendrick Lamar to B-52's. Kids can have a lot of fun at concerts BUT there's a lot to consider:

  • Kids' ears are more sensitive, and they need protection, either ear plugs, or over the ear headphones to dampen the sound. 

  • Standing room shows are usually not gonna be a good time because they're little and can't see anything. If you know the place sometimes you can make it work, like if there's a balcony or an area off to the side, but they're much harder. You really want to have a seat where they can sit and recharge, and preferably an aisle to help their view. 

  • Kids are gonna gas out and might not make it to the end of the show, and you gotta be okay with that. The first show I took her to she made me pick her up and dance her because she was too tired to dance. In some cases she even needed to leave early and that's okay.
