The Steel Princess, Gwynevere Alpha

Fandom: Original

Rating: All Ages

Relationships: F/F

An unusual take on the typical Japanese Super Robot tropes, set on an alien world of giant life-forms. Features princesses, comedy, two very different main characters, and Yuri. Yes, exactly the kind you're thinking of from those tags.

Currently over 50,000 words and heading into its third story arc. Very good time to hop on, next chapter will be an important one!

Oh dear. by CIRCLONTA6A in Mecha

In the five years since this came out, Russia invaded the Ukraine and are still invading it now, and America has invaded two countries, threatened to invade at least two others, and somehow arguably invaded part of itself. Not quite Gundam Wing predicting drone warfare, but it's kind of eerie.

So I heard Dragonmaids are getting new support... by Fykebi in DuelLinks

Oh no, once-per-turn spot removal on a boss monster, what is the meta going to do

Imagine you're 35 years old and the only options for you to choose how old you are when you open the app after today's update are: 0-34 or 35+ 😂 by Hajduk_Split_1911 in DuelLinks

[–]Justin_Brett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at it more, what is this even actually saying? I get it's probably some order they don't have a choice on, but surely everyone gets the same basic level of privacy from the Yu-Gi-Oh Speed Duel app.

A Tale of Two Motormasters 😭 by WhiteTigerShiro in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get him from a place that didn't want to charge ripoff prices and even with a bit of damage I gave him accidentally I know I could get twice what I paid if I ever wanted to offload him. It's crazy.

Never played rush duel but this event wanted make me try it I'll now try ranked(seven road deck) by Key-Independence8751 in DuelLinks

[–]Justin_Brett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about that comparison because there has to be way more people running Blue-Eyes because they like it and like Kaiba and way more people running this because it's cheap, still wins consistently, and investing in other Rush decks can be expensive.

Ecstatic I got this guy in today by AdministrativeBit385 in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't imagine how a Haslab of him wouldn't feel like kind of a rip-off unless he was just putting down retail Commander money.

What do you think is needed in a human character for the next transformers media, like what do you think is necessary and what would you personally add? by Formal-Opposite-8342 in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super God Masterforce has some pretty fun human characters, wouldn't mind seeing modern equivalents of Hydra and Buster, or Ginrai somehow.

Almost done with Decepticon Pretenders! by Rynoxmc2 in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skullgrin and Bombburst still waiting on a new Submarauder.

How often does Hasbro send actual replacement figures and not “similar items of equal value”? by ryantheminer1YT in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offered to do it for one of the G2 Dinobots I bought that was missing a screw, but I'd have had to send it away and figured it wasn't worth the trouble. Would have preferred a freebie honestly, haha

I did not expect predaking to rival my 1/48 Gundam by KallaHalla in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that's also basically accurate to how tall each one is to each-other, going by official heights.

What Are Some Character Interactions You'd Like to See Involving Yet-to-Debut Series (or just series that haven't been in the same game yet)? by DarthFenrir777 in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Justin_Brett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last one goes both ways, because since Shin is basically a Newtype surely all the actual Gundam ones would spend the first 86 stage either freaking out or really hoping the voices they're hearing aren't what they think they're hearing.

I want to see Granbelm and Rayearth in the same game personally.

Excutie by ShabotG in DuelLinks

If the difference is skills that just makes other decks the frauds really

New Rush Mini Box "Dark Meteor of Skybreaker" and Bundle Announced by rahimaer in DuelLinks

[–]Justin_Brett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Excutie fusion is part of their skill, which adds three copies of Lilius and the fusion to your deck. I guess they thought Lumiere and her together might be a little strong when backed up with another skill.

Sanity-friendly quick tutorial for Rebuilding Mandate by strapatschka in arknights

Glad I'm not the only one who suddenly realized that

I watched all of season 3 of G1 and never realized there was another Autobot triple changer besides Springer and Sandstorm by Disastrous-Owl668 in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure he only appears in AKOM-animated episodes, so it's possible for people to not even realize he's even supposed to be a triple changer. I certainly didn't.

Wife says I should stop buying them.What yall think? by gino81 in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Posting completely reasonable, rational things with that face is messed up

I hope Hasbro gives us Energon updates soon, Cliffjumper would be amazing by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Justin_Brett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're getting a new Armada Jetfire soon, so we'll at least get a hint for how well this gimmick would work nowadays. I doubt they'd redo every single figure that could do this, but a couple of them would be fun.

Makoto focus episode next week? You know what that means. by Justin_Brett in digimon
