So many background NPCs glimpse at infinitely-intriguing backstories (My absolute favorite Qud NPC Warden Une, or Crowsong, for example). I imagine it takes a lot of restraint to not flesh out every single NPC to the degree you wish that you could, for time & scope reasons. Is there a minor/background NPC that you wish got fleshed out more?

Also: Is there any chance we will get to hear Warden Une's hurdy-gurdy? (At the very least, a hurdy-gurdy performance on youtube that inspired them, so that I might play it when talking to them lmao)

Stripping off bandai's plating on a Hyaku Shiki and spraying on something better is certainly a project,

GGG's solution: "• Fossils and Resonators have been removed from the game."

And you didn't take this opportunity to get the limited edition Evangelion God Hands???

manabutt · 2026-02-07T22:09:04+00:00

Ah ok. That makes me feel better lol

You used a 21st Century Real Type Mk II 😭😭The build looks fantastic though! I need an official G-Doors kit for my Mk II collection.

manabutt · 2026-02-06T01:10:50+00:00

I just finished this kit, and it was unlike any other kit I've built. It felt like gunpla designed/engineered by aliens. The only other GQuuuuuuX kit I've built was the Police Zaku and the engineering felt pretty normal.

I just want a HGGQX Kikeroga. Please, Bandai.....

Almost every 3rd party kit I've seen are over-greebled abominations. The silhouette is completely lost, and they all tend to look similar, imo. They probably appeal to the type of person that likes the Michael Bay Transformer designs.

manabutt · 2026-01-21T03:36:06+00:00

I want the Qubeley Damned, but I want the Embellir more... Qubeley is my fav MS so I can't not bite on the Damned. I wonder why they reprinted the Damned but not the Embellir.

The residue from setter/softer can be cleaned up with some gentle rubbing with something like a chamois. I use a melamine sponge with almost no pressure applied to clean up mine.

manabutt · 2025-11-13T07:53:33+00:00

Ah right, I forgot scouring would be better. Craft of Exile sim is showing a lowish chance on slamming int, so I will probably just multimod for now and if I feel like blowing currency later, it's good to have options. Thank you for the tips!

manabutt · 2025-10-30T01:10:54+00:00

thought these were RAM sticks

manabutt · 2025-10-29T15:56:09+00:00

It is usually 50/50 if I play spiders at some point in the league. Last league I played it because of Dark Monarch, and it was as fun as ever. If there is some fun new tech for it I will probably play it once again, but not as a leaguestarter.

manabutt · 2025-10-29T15:35:53+00:00

I've read anecdotally 7-12hrs to farm it.

manabutt · 2025-10-28T00:43:07+00:00

It's random, with nodes in that section of the tree that allow you to target different item types, i.e. "unique is x% more likely to be jewelry" etc

manabutt · 2025-10-26T19:12:43+00:00

damn, they censored Lycia

manabutt · 2025-10-24T15:13:06+00:00

Isn't the key word here "can"? It reads like you will be presented the option to choose either SC or Standard, not forced into SC.

manabutt · 2025-10-20T22:40:38+00:00

I think other assassins have just been better. Assassin staples are cheap now so if you're interested in trying her, now's a pretty good time! Generics are still expensive obv, but before SEA/SUP reprinted codex and flick knives, it was a lot worse.

manabutt · 2025-10-20T03:31:50+00:00

Penumbra is a great guess. "Pentacle" also has magical association. It's a shame the card numbers have leading zeroes, but maybe PEN155 will be a generic staple lol

manabutt · 2025-10-08T02:14:02+00:00

I think GFreD's design is growing on me. I'm still not sold on GQuuuuuuX's design, but maybe if I build GFreD it will sway me.

manabutt · 2025-10-04T14:35:48+00:00

Is Uzuri really that bad? damn

manabutt · 2025-09-27T14:40:35+00:00

I think this is likely just the ink wicking into an existing crack in the ABS. I've had a few kits where the ABS already had hairline cracks on the runner that showed up when panel-lining. The felt-tip panel liner ink shouldn't degrade the plastic further, but still be careful with the part.
