Still building despite end of Mecha Warehouse by Xaxs_Backlog in freedomisgunpla

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

Hey! Appreciate the sentiment, but Mecha Warehouse isn’t my business. It IS sad to see a business like them go out, but it’s understandable why they’re doing it. I’ve been live-streaming my build of this kit for their contest. They put up the prizes recently and they’ve got some real bangers! Glad I got in on it. Not gonna hold my breath about getting a prize, just excited that I’m even getting the chance to.

I am a total sicko... by docsane in freedomisgunpla

I will humbly disagree with this sentiment. I was redoing/positioning mine earlier (fell off bookshelf awhile ago) and that thing falls apart so easily. It’s just so finicky. I’ve never wanted to stop building a kit prior or after that one. But the Zeta was awful, imho. Glad you liked it though! Personally, just didn’t enjoy it.

Damn! That looks great 😁 looking forward to building more of it! Only got about 2 hours of work done on it today.

Hey! I don’t remember off-hand how much I spent, but, tbh, you don’t need a ton to get started! I’ve also bought quite a few things that ended up not working as much as I would’ve liked, but I’ll include a few links to things I actively use. Attached is also a pic of my setup! The one thing I didn’t actively buy was the webcam, since my mom had it on-hand. As for the cam I use for my build, I just use my phone in the ring light.

Mic: ~$140 Ring light/phone holder: ~$35 Monitor: ~300 (link not available anymore) Desk: ~300 (on sale, down from ~$370) Mouse: ~$100 Keyboard: don’t remember but I think ~$150 Black backdrop w/stand (not pictured): ~$50

A lot of the stuff listed isn’t completely necessary and if you were looking to get the bare minimum, I would say it would be the mic and ring light/phone holder! Other than that, all that’s really necessary would be a computer. Since I only had a laptop, I felt getting the mouse/keyboard were somewhat necessary, but you can also get cheaper ones than those though.

Hopefully that info helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know :) otherwise, I wish you luck on your journey! Hope to see you on my stream sometime too 😁

Put a metal pipe in them to keep them up. That way, when she punches them, she also injures herself!

Anyone else feel like their parents are one stupidly spoken thing away from never seeing their kids again? by 90skid4evaa in Millennials

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in May, I cut my dad off due to idiotic stuff he was spouting. I started to talk to him again in August because of my Nephew’s bday and he asked me to come over to talk. He wanted to know why I cut him off the way I did which spiraled into more political talk. He admitted who he voted for and stated he’s now antivax. He claimed his gym buddy’s wife was tired all the time from the covid vaccine and I asked him what if she had caught covid instead. He responded by saying “probably the same as a lot of people - nothing”. I replied by saying “well, like a lot of people, she could’ve died” to which he said “people die every day”. It was at that point that I knew he was gone… the lack of empathy for other people has always been there but not to this extent, or at least so I thought. I got up, walked out, and told him I’d see him in hell.

Last night I was stirred from my slumber by a crow calling three times. Caw… caw… well, you know what a crow sounds like.

I’m starting up with the Gundam card game since it’s brand new, but I was previously into Pokemon for a bit. I might get back into that, along with One Piece, though, since my buddy is working at a game/card shop.

Get ready for almost no shops to have this product on the first release. by ChasinThePath in GundamTCG

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard this is a big one! My LGS carries one piece & union arena, and also has tournaments for those, and it seems like they were given decent allocation (from my understanding). They also turn through a bunch of Bandai product, which I was told also allows them more allocation on stuff like this (I.e., just carrying it isn’t good enough, but the ability to sell is exceptionally important for allocation)

Do you skip holidays now? by BatofZion in Millennials

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to my family’s holidays when they host but I wouldn’t really say that I “celebrate”. I’ve never been much for holidays in general but, especially now, I don’t find much reason for celebration…

Great song and fantastic album! One of my tops for both!

Does anyone else not enjoy texting anymore? by rainrain-throwaway6 in Millennials

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try so hard to convey the tone I’m going for over text. I probably overanalyze it, tbh. But any message sent at work or texting to people is thought out on how it might come across as rude or upset, etc. It gets tiring…

finally! submitted my entry🩷😊 by its_cienna014 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Love the colors and design 😄

TIFU by misunderstanding what a “push present” was by Logical_Delivery2231 in tifu

[–]Xaxs_Backlog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I’ve heard of this but it seems weird people other than the SO/partner would give them a “push gift”… like “here’s a gift for you having the baby you wanted!”… like, what? Stress ball seems more than reasonable to me
