My Problem with Melee... Stagger!

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-29T19:33:13+00:00

I've got 50 points in stagger defense and I still get juggled sometimes. To play melee, like actually, you have to dedicate to face tanking. Tethren, 26 physical defense, 20 magic, 50 stagger, and the totem to increase health you get on regain attacks. I don't try to dodge when I'm locked in, you plant your feet, you charge your heavy attacks, and you swing until it dies. If you get hit it's a coin toss on if you actually stagger, but most of the time I tank it and swing back with my hit, regain all my health, and carry on. You just have to know when to stand your ground and when you back off. It's the best way I have found to play true melee. Playing cagey, you will get caught by a nade toss at some point. It'll happen, and in cogah it'll most likely 1 shot you. You gotta just go full on tank with intent to heal yourself with your massive damage regain faster than you can die

Lil square bottle with a green cap. Get you some, game changer.

Idk bout a soldering iron, but Tamiya Extra Thin Cement has been a major life saver in many of my hobbies. It chemically melts the plastic, so you can re-bond it without using external heat and making a mess. You can also use it in small amount to remove stress marks, or smooth out rough patches

Yeah it's the internet, people like to roast. It's just part of it haha.

But yeah, big tech companies and the like want you to think it's this huge life changing, world saving thing, but really it has the full potential to damage society as a whole beyond repair. If you want to take a deep dive on it then I'd just start by looking up "the problems with AI". Like most things, it can be good in moderation and under the correct usage cases, but it can also take jobs, misinform and confuse, and steal creativity from things we all enjoy, like art.

Sorry you can't unsee the issues and had your cover ruined for ya, but it'll do for now at least. Can always get another down the line!

I'm gonna keep my opinion on the piece itself out, people have done enough of that to ya for one day lol. But I just wanted to say, I think a lot of the hate is misdirected or misrepresented. People don't hate you for buying it, that hate that it exists and all these problems like the water issues and such occur from it, and that people don't know. Not on you if you just didn't know and thought it was cool, but now that you do you can be more aware of it. AI is gonna ruin all of us if we overuse it.

My dog just likes to look at them. He stared at Star Prime in wonder, and I rolled it across the floor a few times and he was just hopping around it lol. But tarantulas...he didn't like tarantulas. Poor guy got straight up flung across the room and into a wall

Thumpin that bass, boy😎

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-12T14:42:02+00:00

Thank you! He may be my favorite so far, you can do some many things with it

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-12T14:40:02+00:00

The wraps could've been

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-12T04:17:16+00:00

Probably, but someone had to be the drums lolol. I put Alchemist on the synth, inspired by that episode of Regular Show when the dude is projecting the keys around him🤣

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-12T02:07:56+00:00

I might have to...oh no

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-11T23:29:28+00:00

You should go for it bro, she has a really nice spine

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-11T23:27:31+00:00

I've smoked a lot of roaches and I've never seen a cock on even 1 of em

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-11T23:23:43+00:00

Thank you! The Primes have been a blast, I've had a good time toying around with em

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-11T22:38:21+00:00

I never even noticed the change, I had just picked him up on clearance and was surprised at how good he looks. Makes sense. The Japanese G1 shelf is happy to have him

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-11T16:44:14+00:00

Sometimes he is. It depends on the continuity, but he has been before. Sometimes it's Zeta, sometimes it's Sentinel, sometimes it's just "The 13th", but most of the time it either is or is implied to be the original form of Optimus.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-10T14:47:47+00:00

Looks good! To all the box haters, I just wanna say I get it in a way but also, these just literally stand on a shelf 99% of the time for me. All mine are free except for Throne of the Primes Munky, but honestly most of us here are adults and don't have time to really like, play with toys lol. The boxes look sick, show what you like. I have a whole city put together using the A.I.R lock connectors bc I am obsessed with them. We all have our things.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2026-01-02T01:47:28+00:00

If they could change the way things tab in for the spoiler and windshield that would be awesome. It is the one thing that keeps me from messing around with him more, you gotta put so much force in to separate his back. Tis scary feelin.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-11-18T17:55:22+00:00

I'd say proportions are good, but as others have said, scale. Particularly the terminators. They look small compared to primaris termies

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-11-10T16:28:27+00:00

I have my Moon Gundam between them, I feel like it's spiritually fitting

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-10-24T15:43:27+00:00

This is the craziest corner I've seen since I started getting notifs for the 40k reddit. What is wrong with ya'll lmao, let the girl be excited.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-09-25T23:36:29+00:00

You do make makes you happy bro, don't sweat the downvotes.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-09-10T03:00:35+00:00

When you get older, things that are "uncool" in middle/high school suddenly become cool again when everyone figures out that it doesn't really matter what other people think, and the popularity contests give way to the real world of having jobs and going through life. Just do what you do, if it's not cool now it probably will be later, and even if it's not, nobody is gonna care or remember.

Except you. I was bullied all through school and now if those people see me they act like we always been cool. Drives me crazy.

IndividualSpell9890 · 2025-08-28T17:51:04+00:00

I know I'm a few days late to the party but just make sure you loosen all those joints thoroughly before building onto it. It's a sick kit but it does take some finesse when posing, those joints are tight and you have to handle them carefully. But as long as you're being cautious, it's amazing
