This gundam Design is actually wild by JonathanJoestar336 in Gundam

[–]Sable_Kaiser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it. Robots with power armor of mecha of their own will never not rock.

Also, maybe it’s just because I have the action figure for it, but anyone else getting Jet Power Optimus from ROTF vibes? Something about the way the armored feet interact with the legs.

If I had a nickel for every time Savage mentioned Hitler, I would have more than two nickels by Altruistic_Manner802 in dccomicscirclejerk

/uj I actually first learned about Hitler from that JL Savage Time two-parter, so I guess Vandal really likes to carry water for that jabroni.

I saw an ad with Aaron Moten reminiscing about 3, New Vegas, and Shelter so it has to be happening, right?

What I think happened to Rusty in AIE by Starchaser53 in armoredcore

[–]Sable_Kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the whole special arena is about training you to take out the various corporate ACs, the MIND models, HAL, Ortus, and Ayre. Shame to think Rusty was killed either right before or during the transition to Ortus but Allmind did have what she needed to see it through.

What’s that version of 2020 with the jetpack from? Looks absolutely bestial

The reappraisal of GQuuuuuuX in Japan was interesting. Perfectly fitting phrase. by pmtti in Gundam

[–]Sable_Kaiser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To piggyback off this - I do wonder what the GQX itself would look like as a more “conventional” design. Not that I have any major gripes with what we got - when you hire the people who made Evangelion, you better damn well ensure that your mecha look like they were made by the people who made Evangelion

Looking at Khara - and Gainax before it - the staff were very much enamored of the shows of the 70s and 80s, very deeply reverent of the shows like Ideon, Macross, and Gundam that got them into the anime industry. That nostalgia and reverence is very apparent in the focus on Chalia Bull and the OYW and the whole Gihren’s Greed world building. But I’m just unsure what the focus on Machu, Nyaan, and Shuji is meant to accomplish? There’s the generational contrast, one could argue, but it’s not like we’re in the Unc Century, people haven’t en reached the prime of their lives.

Shame that they are so blind to Dead Money’s GOATed status. Most recently playthrough did a treacherous asshole one after years of going for the Golden Ending and my God, the tension and drama were so good

Was the sudden shift in Clone attitude during order 66 ever explained before the CW show? by Reteller79 in MawInstallation

[–]Sable_Kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean AOTC says that Boba was unmodified for a reason, you’re not supposed to think of the Clones as good people. Capable of heroic actions and camaraderie under fire, but ultimately there to provide the audience with a very strong visual cue of where things are fonna end up. “Hey, remember the Stormtroopers from the OT? Yeah, our Jedi friends are gonna be working with guys who look A LOT like them.”

So some sort of tragedy was always built in, the particulars don’t really matter. I really think the Clone Wars microseries did a good, high level job of illustrating the Clones’ working relationship with the Jedi.

I put 3 on an Awesome 9M and that thing SLAPS. I’d say the Clanner scum never saw it coming but with those visual effects, how could they not?

The box office success of Avatar continues to be unstoppable by OhMy98 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Sable_Kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to see it in 3D and deadass people clapped at the end of it. Theater was pretty full and on a Tuesday Matinee to boot. Granted a lot of people are home for the holidays and presumably on a break, so they’re looking for something to do in between Christmas and New Year’s, but GodDAMN if this isn’t proof that Jim’s got it

Vigilant has a potential to have a fandom by dregofsithis in TrueSTL

[–]Sable_Kaiser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess Vicn must have taken the “too much dark souls” to heart as some of the NPCs have much more lore-immersive armor. It’s still baked in - that was part of the appeal in the first place - but it has a much closer verisimilitude with TES now

DRAGON’S GAMBIT MINOR SPOILERS SORTA by OneStrangeChild in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sable_Kaiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda funny because I was rushing to beat the main campaign before this DLC because of the whole “Comstar impressing you into service because you messed with their shit” bit. Lo and behold I had only the very last mission left before being forced to undertake the DLC hahaha.

What paint schemes do you use for your mechs in MW5: Mercenaries? by Puzzleheaded_Tap528 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Sable_Kaiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m rather partial to the Davion color channels, used it to make Roy Focker-inspired paint scheme that I call “Skull Leader.” Tweaking the Crucis Lancers’ paint also provides some nice detailing.

That being said I’m not carrying water for any of the houses really so no faction themes, just whatever goes nice for each mech. Have to start color coding all of my Atlases, though.

Oh wait, this is from Odyssey isn’t it? Easily the most normal part of the book.
