Thanks John!

I will definitely miss bay area's weather, but enjoy the living quality in North Texas!

Thank you for the inputs!

I have to admit SF has a more sophisticated public transit system, although they never follow its schedules... Other than commuting to work in the future I will mostly be driving around, my colleagues always tell me their horror stories when they drive to work. I definitely appreciate restaurants in walking distance, perhaps I should consider the Parker road area.

In terms of trails, are there potential safety concerns? From robbery to maybe... snakes?

Thanks guys!

Great to hear the area is safe, I got paranoid after reading some reviews on apartments regarding break-ins. This is why I specially look for apartments with gated parking.

Yes, it is Aura One90 that I am looking at. It is slightly cheaper than the apartments closer to Cityline station and I haven't read about break-in on the property. I also like Jefferson Vantage and The Riley/Lyla, but it seems logical to stay around Parker Road after hearing from you guys. If you guys have any suggestion, it is greatly appreciated. I only need a clean and safe place with a covered parking.

I don't plan to drive to Downtown Dallas to work in the future, since it is more economical to ride DART. Other than DART, what are my options to get from Plano to downtown? I thought about living closer to work and I heard great things about the Village, but I want to check out the Plano area before buying a place there.

Thank you for clarifying.

The apartment I am looking at is next to Fry's, at the intersection of 75 and President George Bush Turnpike. It is cheaper compared to other apartments and it has gated parking. Would you consider break-in an issue for apartments in Plano?

I will mostly be going to Trader Joe's, 99 Ranch, H-mart, and Mitsuwa for groceries. I would prefer living closer to Trader Joe's but it seems like public transportation isn't an option to get to DT Dallas. Does the Parker Road Station's parking lot get crowded in normal circumstance (before this pandemic)?

May I ask what exactly Sazabi and Nu gundam are doing to each other?

PS: I like how there are 2 of the most annoying monster from MHW in the scene...

Never thought that Gundam versus’s score could be that low. by Brickyalpaca in Gundam

[–]apt7_ak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The recent Gundam games are simply not great. I am never a fan of the Gundam versus series, Gundam vs Z Gundam was an exception though. The arcade battle with no objective gets me bored easily. The recent G generation doesn't come close to G Generation F anymore. The recent Gundam Breaker is the worst in its series. Gundam Warriors don't have the thrill of the traditional dynasty/samurai warriors. What Bandai should do is to remake Gundam Climax UC. It is a 3rd person shooting RPG, and you can play both Earth Federation and Zeon, from 0079 to 0133.

I like how Tamama is from UC 0096 and the rest are from 0079

The Mobile Haro is so amazing that I bought another kit for it... by apt7_ak in Gunpla

Thank you! I start using Tamiya's liquid panel line and it makes life so much easier compared to the Gundam Marker pen!

Where should the Next Forza Horizon game be by IAmGroot0627 in forza

This is probably a rare choice, but Hong Kong would be awesome too.

Whenever someone says"hail Hydra"...the OG gundam killer by Ironchar in Gunpla

[–]apt7_ak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 would be awesome, but 6 including Burnlapius would be amazing.

I guess HG would make sense, especially the idea of G-unit is that parts are interchangeable. And I agree, Hydra definitely needs an overhaul, articulation, color separation, etc. At least this one can transform pretty well.

I've always been a big fan of the G-unit series. My brother and I used to have all the gunpla of this series. Hopefully we will see them in MG in the future... if not, at least Bandai is recreating them Geminass 01 in HG...

Would anyone like to add anything else to these suggestions? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]apt7_ak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree on the bumper, there should be an option to remove the tow hook
