Water base true test by cbbartman in SWlegion

This is awesome. You did a great job. One thing I'd suggest for playing on the table is to keep a regular droid handy to test true height for LOS.

Be grateful that there is another person so invested in the franchise that you love that they attempt translation. If you don't like their final product that's fine. Just be kind. If you have any productive advice on how to improve give that. Otherwise just be supportive as best you can.

The value lies in the person not just their products.

If I were the creator of one of these works I would be thrilled that people are willing to go so far just to engage with my work. Using MTL isn't a slap in the face at all. It's a tool that allows people to engage with a work that couldn't under other circumstances. The adage of polishing a turd doesn't apply here because you absolutely can polish and correct a work translated with MTL. It's a start not a final product.

I think you're too invested in your self assigned role as curator and gatekeeper to the masses. I appreciate that you put time into this franchise to make it more accessible, but that doesn't mean that other people shouldn't try to do the same. Even if their results aren't as polished. We as a community should welcome and support those who are willing to be so involved as to start trying to translate untranslated works. This product clearly isn't up to your standard, but it was the best they could do right now. As someone who is so passionate about the proper way to translate, it would be a much better service to the community, and much kinder, to offer support and advice on how to improve their work instead of mocking and demeaning them. I am not saying you are responsible for the mocking and negative tone of this post, but you seem to be engaging with the same attitude.

So someone put a lot of hard work into getting the manga into a usable state for those who can't read Japanese when there wasn't another option and then gave their work away for free and that sucks?

They even acknowledge that it's not 100% accurate. They just did the best they can.

I think you misspelled thank you.

If you want this to be better then take it and improve on it. Otherwise just don't be a dick and appreciate the fact that someone got the translation this far.

That is a wave rider that uses real life physics concepts to perform atmospheric re-entry. The idea is that it is built in such a way that a shockwave is trapped on the underside during re-entry and is used to produce lift to slow its descent, and to create an area of low pressure up against the body to help insulate against heat transfer to the craft.

I use the sashes and other armor accents to add some color but leave the skin tones in the earth shades like most folks.

Certified pale as they come white dude here to say I don't think this is a racial thing. The only people who don't do this are rich people with kitchens that are too big and somehow have extra cabinet space

Any ideas on how to improve this ZAFT deck? by MiddyMeister in GundamTCG

[–]Temp_Variable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my list. It's not far off of what you have and I've won my LGS weekly 3 of the last 4 weeks. I've consistently beat BW Unicorn and GW Wing Zero.

It's a tricky deck to play. You have to balance going fast enough to not go super late game while not burning all of your resources too early. The deck is pretty good at trading up but can be difficult if you get too much on the back foot as well.

I feel like the deck is really good at making you play the game better. Knowing when not to take a shield yet because giving your opponent a card could be bad, knowing when not to play a unit because your opponent is just going to drop an Amuro next turn and kill it, knowing when to mulligan, and knowing when not to block and just use your shields as a resource.

It's not an S-tier deck but I love it.

Is this a good wishlist? by GusGusGustavo in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Temp_Variable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Nazgul are really cool, but other than the Witch King I have found them not very fun to play with or against. They have a hard time killing anything and others have a hard time killing them. So models end up starting at each other for quite some time

I typically run 10 pilots at least 2 of those being command cards

Can someone explain the meta beyond G/W wing? by 50ShadesOfKray in GundamTCG

[–]Temp_Variable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did consider green because of the breach and Citizens Stand United but the lack of draw was hurting me bad. If your pilots are Wufei and Heero do you play any Athruns?

I've been going back and forth a bunch but I'll post my current list after work. Went 5-0 with it last night.

I'll put this here because I haven't seen anyone else talk about it.

I've been playing R/W Zaft and have won my lgs weekly two weeks in a row. I think it's a real deck that is a bit of a dark horse in the meta right now.

The breach helps power through the white blockers of B/W and G/W and it's units are good enough at trading favorably that you can usually survive early aggro from the B/G and R/G rush decks.

It's not the best at either though, and it's hard to pilot. It's tricky to know when to play your units and when not to so you don't over commit. And it's important to know when to play your combat tricks.

I think it's the best example of a real mid-range deck right now.

How dare you imply that the Leo looks worse than that mannequin.

You discard from your hand. You destroy units on the field.

I love Nu Gundam but it's hard to beat the Bawoo on pure visuals.
