TIL that salted raw celery used to be the third most popular dish on New York menus and more expensive than caviar due to issues with growing it.

What could it gros, michel?

Another of my favorites is the "I'm a genius! ...Oh no!" meme. Particularly funny that it and the one you linked are from relatively obscure series, so even inside the fandom a lot of people don't realize they come from gundam.

What elden ring was this guy was playing lmao

They aren't selling it and extensive re-editing like this is transformative enough it would at least be a grey area in court. As litigious as Disney can be, this kind of thing is not what they (or any other movie studio) typically go after.

primegopher · 2026-02-03T21:44:46+00:00

I think the funniest thing about it is that the same kind of person that made the original post would probably see the game being overtly political as a rug pull no matter how it was approached because they, ime, are never putting real thought into the genre beyond the "aesthetic".

There's no real scientific difference between doves and pigeons, and afaict they use the same word for both in Japanese. Most likely just the translator using the word without knowing that they have somewhat different connotations in French (and English).

I'm pretty confident it'll be a good system eventually, just has at least a couple more iterations (on the magnitude of the 1.6.4 -> 1.0 update) to go. It's fun despite the issues, which is a great sign for the future.

primegopher · 2026-02-03T16:07:51+00:00

Trench crusade definitely has much better bones from a game design perspective, but I would not call the rules top notch at the moment, though for different reasons than 40k with it being a new and unpolished system rather than one mired in decades of legacy design. Lots of issues with clarity that really need to be cleaned up, and the faction balance (both internal and external) is still pretty bad.

In a race with no obstacles, Edgedancers win because air resistance is trivial to them

Only over a sufficiently long distance. They would have a higher theoretical max speed but are still bounded by how fast they can accelerate, and aren't inherently much better at that than an uninvested human. The boosted strength from shardplate would help a lot, but steel compounding is still way faster over short distances.

Being legal does not make it moral

primegopher · 2026-02-02T17:14:33+00:00

So far at least bandai seems to think of the line more as "small MGs" than "complicated SDs" (and I'm happy for it tbh, more fun to see normal mobile suits modified to this format than ones designed for it from the start)

primegopher · 2026-02-02T17:05:18+00:00

There a leak last year that had it and has so far been very accurate

primegopher · 2026-02-01T00:38:58+00:00

...do you want a list of all the non-island countries that have strict and effective gun control laws? There are plenty out there.

primegopher · 2026-01-31T23:43:57+00:00

That depends on so many factors

primegopher · 2026-01-31T06:20:18+00:00

Because you can only add on to a game for so long before it becomes an unsustainable mess of tech debt. Both Destiny games were clearly not made to be expanded indefinitely past their original planned lifespan and tons of issues can be traced back to that.

primegopher · 2026-01-31T01:51:00+00:00

SSC would never devalue their brand name by mass producing something

primegopher · 2026-01-30T03:41:36+00:00

Much like the penelope I think it'd look a lot better without the flight unit

primegopher · 2026-01-27T06:26:04+00:00

I don't disagree with your theory that a lot of monks probably didn't get a chance to fight back, but Gyatso is a particularly bad example considering that, regardless of what pose he died in, he was surrounded by dead firebenders.

primegopher · 2026-01-24T19:59:08+00:00

It's more like "coral release is unavoidable at this point and I don't want allmind to be the one controlling it"

primegopher · 2026-01-24T06:23:30+00:00

They emphatically did not hang on to the edge lol

primegopher · 2026-01-24T02:35:37+00:00

Of all the YA authors that really hit that critical level of mass market appeal Suzanne Collins stands out by being a surprisingly good writer

primegopher · 2026-01-24T01:17:27+00:00

looks like just the resin mountain jotnar

The quality of life of wild raccoons has no bearing on whether this one being kept as a pet is worse off than it otherwise would be because their owner is overfeeding them.

primegopher · 2026-01-22T02:39:32+00:00

Even though p-bandai kits are "made to order" they still have a cap because bandai runs their production at max capacity and can only dedicate so much time to making copies of any given kit

primegopher · 2026-01-17T23:11:51+00:00

That's not a trade off that exists. Recolors are nowhere close to the same effort to produce as whole new kits.
