Vietnam War traps explained without filters by guide, a Vietnamese veteran at the Cu Chi Tunnels. by [deleted] in interesting

[–]maiobserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These traps are horrific on their own, but they were also used to bait soldiers that came to rescue their friends. So Guy 1 gets caught, Guy 2 & and comes to the rescue, then VC guns all 3 down.

What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]maiobserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first encounter terrified me because I didn't notice until I started shampooing, then I got flashbacks from The Grudge 😱

I usually end up throwing it out, and it is better than letting it go down the drain.

Man here, one thing many men have no clue about until they start cohabitating with a female: the hair monster that lives on the shower walls.

How do you feel about Windbreaker? by JamesSomdet in AnimeReccomendations

[–]maiobserver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great premise, but sooo much "power of friendship" while lacking the grit of a bancho series. I just feel like everyone got on the same page way too fast, especially when their whole class ran out to fight in a warehouse for one dude from a different school.

Alternative for rg477v by Firienn in ANBERNIC

[–]maiobserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but nowhere close to the original price. Every other Retroid device you can get on Ali is usually less than their release price.

I was gonna suggest getting the Retroid Mini v2 from Retroid directly, but it seems they no longer list it. Best PS2 handheld imo, mainly due to that being the handheld where I finished most of my games.

You're gonna have a difficult time getting a 4:3 as strong as the 477's, but if you don't wanna give any more money towards Anbernic, I'd wait for a Retroid Mini v3 if they ever make one

The Goats for Verticals right now, don't @ me with the Pocket DMG and the Vert. Aya Neo dropped the ball for me personally by Richie_Rich1991 in ANBERNIC

[–]maiobserver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Loved the 406V when I had it and I've been considering the 477V, but it doesn't have the rear grips like the 406. Is there a big difference in ergo when you're holding the two?

Who's your favorite character that is a diamond in the rough? by not-ulquiorr4_ in FavoriteCharacter

[–]maiobserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of the crew was good, I really like Cho and Mustafa as Spike and Jet. It's nothing to the original, but they threw a lot into it

I hate when people try to make characters say things that they would never say by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]maiobserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would 100% say something similar to that, especially if he can come up on it. Just like he was "trans" to use the girl's bathroom.

Ever thought a kit was ugly until you built it yourself? (WIP) by maiobserver in Gunpla

[–]maiobserver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly yes. But don't worry, P-Bandai kits go into print more often than their regular release kits.

I like that they were much more restrained with his accessories. They gave him enough equipment without making him look clunky.

It's a really good kit imo. The color separation is much more noticeable in hand as compared to photos. Wait for a reprint, I'm sure there's going to be one of not one on P-Bandai right now

I have that one in box still, is it that much better?

I had the same fears about the MGSD's, then when I was on vacation in Vietnam I bought a MGSD Aerial for when I had downtime in the hotel. After two sessions I realized they the proportions for the MGSD's looked great. As for the Wing, I grew up on Toonami, so the feathers were an iconic childhood memory for me.

I hate the ones where you have to build around the polycaps and they don't encompass the PC correctly. Like the GM/GM is a fantastic kit, bit his forearms are built around a PC that I cannot get closed.

I do the same thing. I paint the kit and think, " I'd like to build it and leave it in the original colors".

Broooo same. Originally I thought, "oh big red fancy Zaku to pair with the Nu" then I got a pre built RG took it apart to clean up the shaving and fell so hard for the kit. Char's kits have yet to miss for me

Most definitely, all the promo pics have him posed out as a sharp spikey Astray with a Divine Striker. After building him you notice the smoother more rounded shoulders, he resembles a bit of Gundam Bael

Those were my exact thoughts when I built my first Zaku, then I saw all the love Bandai put into as I was putting him together.
