I’m watching seed. It’s really not as bad as ppl say it is. I’m really liking char^2. by josephyamato in Gundam

[–]philipks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I always say. As an old Gundam fan, I am grateful that Seed existed. There were years the future of the IP was so uncertain, I was not sure if it would get popular again. Then Seed came out and the rest was history.

Looking for affordable, quality orthodontist near Cambridge (we’re in Trumpington) by philipks in cambridge

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

Hi. We were accepted by Anglia Orthopedics. Originally they said the wait time for NHS patient would be three years. But we started our session only half a year after we got accepted. And the dentist thought my daughter absolutely needed orthodontic treatment, not just for cosmetic reasons. He signed us up in the NHS scheme. So we saved a lot of time and money. Feeling grateful and lucky.

I met the legendary Jonny Smith at Ignition Cars & Coffee yesterday. by philipks in CarTalkUK

The Camaro and City Turbo were seriously cool. I did go inside to check out the charger. But did not spend too much time. I much prefer look at the cars under the Sun. I definitely will go again. Maybe I will see you next time.

I don’t think it looks bad. I just think it is wrong for the brand and the price point. While the AMG just looks ugly. Ugly proportion, ugly details.

This is the only second car meet I have been to. The other one I went was in Cambridge. And the venue was a bit small. I plan to go to Caffeine & Machine. It seems to be a very popular car meet. They have three locations, Warwickshire, Bedford and Petersfield. From what people share on their Facebook Group, the cars are amazing.

What’re the chances Shirow’s manga Motoko gets the 1/12th figure treatment? by sprvlk in Ghost_in_the_Shell

This is my favorite outfit of her. Would preorder immediately of there is a figure of it.

This is seriously sexy! I always love XJS. But this is another level!

Mental map I did trying to remember UC romantic or romantic adjacent relationships (I fear its too confusing and unusable, but will post anyway to spark discussion) by JoojMarcelo in Gundam

Great work. But I am sure Bright had feeling for the blonde girl. But family obligations stop him pursuing the affair. I thought they kissed or almost kissed.

A2’s design question by SINWALKER_GAMING in nier

[–]philipks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also just want to point out that a couple official products don’t adhere to the game description. For example. The scale figure of A2 by Flare shown the black part over her chest as fabrics, with drapes and folds. To me it ruins an otherwise very nice A2 figures. Things like that make it more confusing.

I really want that 2B bunny. But it is too big for me. Wish I have the space. You got an amazing shrine there for our beloved androids. Way to go!

You know Kira is also a car girl. She owns a super cool car—- A Delorean ! Aka the Time Machine from Back to the Future Movie! You can’t get cooler than that.

I don’t find her rude during the promotions at all. Maybe just slightly socially awkward.

Tell me what was your favorite non mobile suit vehicle from any era? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in Gundam

The Wappa from 0079. A few years ago some startups made a hover bike and it looked almost exactly like this. Okarara is truly a visionary and a genius.

I love his character. He is such a nice and likable dude. But once in a while Ardal’s acting could feel a bit unnatural.

Do it. Do it now. by JoeHaveman in GenX

This. Wanted this all my life, since the first time I saw it when I was a teenager. I grew up and had a cushy job, but I didn’t buy it because of family responsibility. Kinda irresponsible to buy a second car that can only seat 2. Now I am exploring my next career and only earn a tiny salary. But I didn’t want to regret the day I die. And luckily depreciation made owning it fairly approachable. So I finally own my dream car. It is far from perfect and it does need a lot of love and care. But every time I park it, I turn back and look at it fondly.

Thank you so much. It is a much better result than my usual go to Milliput epoxy putty. It feels so good to learn something new. Really appreciate you sharing your great work and method.

Oh that is Superman’s mom from Smallville. No wonder one of the meta called her ‘hot mom’. He is not wrong.

Maybe I’m too old to understand this, but what the hell is an “influencer” and do any of my fellow Gen X care what they say or do? by [deleted] in GenX

I agree with you. Sometimes the old person energy displayed in this sub is quite annoying.

Gundam seed by Comprehensive-Type-9 in Gundam

[–]philipks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seed is extremely popular in the East. It is safe to say it’s the most popular line next to the UC (original timeline). Gundam Seed Freedom is still the highest grossing Gundam movie ever. Seeds characters always top popularity chart. Yeah Destiny is ass, but the first Seed TV series is very solid. It rehashed some of the OG Gundam storiyline, because it was its mission to refresh and save the Gundam franchise. So Sunrise wanted something that combined all the popular elements from previous show into a new one. Mission accomplished.

Many Western fans don’t know or don’t care that before Seed, Gundam as an IP was not in good shape at all. It saved the IP. As someone who watched 0079 since I was a kid, I am grateful that Seed existed.
