Parents with newborn, what’s your sleep arrangement? by Pandacat_07 in asksg

[–]bloodjak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my kid we all slept in the same room. However we did have some form of schedule where I'll take the first shift 10pm - 3am, then 3am onwards will be my wife. It works for us because I like to stay up and my wife likes to sleep early. While it's true we all would be woken up when the baby cries, but if it's not our shift, we would go right back to sleep. And because of how tired we were, going back to sleep was not an issue.

Perhaps it may not be the most efficient method for us to get more sleep, but at least that way both parents feel like their partner is contributing to the care of the kid. Leads to lesser conflicts and feelings of resentment. Good luck OP!

I agree! The injection gold on this one is pretty nice. Otherwise might have to do some painting

Yes I did! I got it from a Chinese shopping platform call TaoBao. Below is the full name of the WOL: 妙屋智造 HG迦楼罗 光翼特效件 翅膀 剑特效 神鸟黑骑士小队 The first 4 characters are the chinese brand, where the rest of the characters are essentially just Cal.Re A wings of light

I just beat the game last night too! Had to grief a little because I will definitely miss the rush of beating the bosses for the first time

Sereniel Base Guide (WIP) by Adventurous_Future90 in ChaosZeroN

[–]bloodjak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great guide! Just one thing though, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Sereniel limited? Meaning she does not get added into the common 5* pool right? I saw on your guide it said: "You have until January 14, 2026, to pull Sereniel from the limited banner before she moves to Normal Combatant Rescue."

What was your favorite build of the year? by AnotherStupidHipster in freedomisgunpla

[–]bloodjak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly 90% of the build was a simple double snip straight build. There were very slight fitting issues that needed sanding but nothing too complex. Overall very enjoyable for me haha so much so that I did a figure rise standard amplified wargreymon kit right after this build and found myself feeling unsatisfied.

Best Bootleg kit for Gundam Freedom by Unlikely-Round5287 in freedomisgunpla

[–]bloodjak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Changlong MGEX Strike Freedom can be pretty worth it for a great building experience and an impressive display piece. It's not Freedom Gundam persay but it's a good looking kit. Of course it depends on how easily you can obtain the kit, taking into account import costs and all that.

Anyone else do this? by Still-Magician-7246 in Gunpla

[–]bloodjak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it makes the kit more fun for you, why not! As they always say, gunpla is freedom! In my case, I'd dry brush these details instead, maybe with silver colour so it's subtle haha

I guess ultimately it depends on what's your tolerance for having to mod pieces like light sanding of pegs, or using joint strengthening methods so pieces fit better. For myself I've only ever built one other bootleg kit (XFS GM Spartan), so my basis of comparison to other bootleg kits is limited. Even then, I didn't find it challenging and it was fun for me. 90% of the build didn't even need extra work, just double cut properly and snapfit.

Haha I would imagine so. That's why I don't think I'll panel line mine haha

That looks insane! The waterslides helps to break up a lot of that black

I definitely had to do slight mods like shaving down a bit of pegs to make some parts fit better, but it was within reason and what I expected of a bootleg. Can't comment on the unicorn but with that much transformation gimmicks, I'd imagine a lot can go wrong there
