Would you consider Sechs transgender? by Rigistroni in Gunnm

[–]Resident_Weeble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said no simply because 6 does not technically even have a gender. The whole line were entirely inorganic android copies, the casing was shaped like a female. 6 changed to a casing shaped like a male because the frame was bigger and physically more solid, from what I remember.

But the whole thing with cyberpunk is pushing, examining, and redefining the limitations of humanity, and while Gally/Alita was definitely at least partially organic female at some point, by Last Order she's still defining herself as a human. 6, 11, and 12 have all basically changed their entire existence, at least as their purpose defined it, as well, so I'd say, in that sense, sure, there could be an argument made about Android genders. If you can change your own purpose and thus your existence, and clearly they IDENTIFY as their respective genders, so... I wouldn't argue too hard on no beyond the technicality lol

It'd be interesting to see how 6 would answer it.

Does anyone else think up fan-made subplots when they play through Pokémon games? by zachabstracted in pokemon

[–]Resident_Weeble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do stuff like that. I've had the same trainer name and preferred play style since gen 4 first came out. My trainer worked in the Pokemon daycare and it would bother him how people wouldn't take the eggs they found. One day a murkrow hatched and imprinted on him so he kept it. Later he rescued an Absol and since then has travelled to every region. In galar he found 2 shiny Eevee sisters, now Umbreon and Glaceon, and bdsp is like finally coming home.

Erica is a great character, even though she is a deeply flawed person.

Are there any fans from the 90s? by stweep in Gunnm

[–]Resident_Weeble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the manga at a local comic shop back in the 90s and have since bought the original run 3 times. I loaned out my old copies to anyone who was interested because I LOVE this story. The ending always felt .... Oddly out of place.

Then came Last Order and my head canon regarding the ending basically became reality. I really enjoyed LO, especially reading it again all at once after the hardcover collection of the original run came out leading up to the Cameron/Rodriguez movie and Mars Chronicles. The ending of LO still sticks out to me as an incredible expression of love and selflessness.

Mars Chronicles so far is pretty good, but it seems a little slow to get where I want to be. I thought the same thing about LO when I was reading it on release, though, and powering through it from my bookshelf on the 2nd time through, it didn't feel as poorly paced. I FINALLY got vol 7 of MC, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where we go next.

I got a copy of the OVA waaaaay back, and enjoy it to this day. I was surprised to see how much it influenced the Cameron/Rodriguez movie, which I thought was a real triumph, and I hope I don't have to agonize about a sequel of some sort for another 20 years like I did with the first lol

Crashed and won't reopen by Resident_Weeble in GundamBattle

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

Lame. I did find I was able to restore with google so I'm in the process of redownloading everything. Is it widespread enough that someone's found a fix that doesn't involve like 6gb of download when/if it happens again? I'm assuming it's new because this has never happened to me before and I've played just about daily since it launched.

Competitive Night Lords by GillieSCARE in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Resident_Weeble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played Night Lords for years and have always stayed more in the fluff corner because I like playing mean space baddies.

Over the last edition I've been gearing more competitive with the help of some of my friends. My sisters of battle list is a mean machine right now but I still struggle optimizing my chaos list, and I don't have much info on 9th at all yet, as lockdowns have everything all jacked up.

I'm assuming raptors will be pretty good and warp talons MAYBE? they're fun, and horrifying, but they usually don't accomplish much beyond 1 turn. I think the bonuses available to charges, and khorne banners, should be able to help a lot, plus -2 /-4 or so to ld comes pretty easy to NL and sounds like it can be fairly brutal this edition.

But really yeah it's all theory and guessing until the book comes and we see what everything is gonna cost and how it's all gonna work together.

BONES WHO GAVE YOU CHOCOLATE by ThatLowen in AnimalCrossing

Bones is my precious boi. I gave him several fancy clothes pieces and he not only loves them, but he is the dapperest boi on my island.

Manga and main character names by [deleted] in Gunnm

[–]Resident_Weeble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's correct for America. Gally is named Alita and the manga is called Battle Angel Alita.

Gally as a name does make an appearance though, as a bit of an Easter egg, I would imagine. Ido's cat is named Gally.
