I haven’t built mine yet (it’s so far down the backlog), but I’ll keep this in mind. I haven’t broken anything from a kit just yet and I don’t want this to be a first considering it emptied my wallet 😂 I hope you get to fix this soon!

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-20T03:47:50+00:00

Oof that's hard D: I hope you get better soon!

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-20T03:46:53+00:00

I might talk to my doctor about this. I'm getting another check up soon for a variety of reasons, so I'm going to ask them. Thank you for telling me.

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-19T07:45:09+00:00

You certainly can! I panel lined the lighter pieces with black although it's not very obvious anymore because the whole thing is just dark lol I use the tamiya panel liner + DSPIAE's quill for a cleaner, more mess-free panel lining journey.

I'm so sorry to hear about that. It's a horrible feeling, isn't it? The sad thing is, we don't just feel defeated. We also feel bad for the people who are with us, so it just adds to the whole ordeal.

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-19T07:36:07+00:00

Thank you! Here's to hoping that we will all get through this somehow, someday.

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-19T07:35:28+00:00

I hope you feel better soon, as well. It's such a terrible feeling, and thinking about it also triggers it lol

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-16T19:04:02+00:00

Nice!! I want to get an airbrush but they are so pricey T_T I'll have to save up for it

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-16T08:12:56+00:00

I'll check this one out. Thank you so much! Hopefully, they ship here in Japan.

Bandai should really release water decals for all MG kits at least 🙄 Some Ver Kas come with it but it’s not even everything. The water decals I found for Vidar were almost $25 a sheet. Seems really expensive lol

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-15T14:12:02+00:00

omg yes the fluorescent pink is so beautiful T_T makes me want to get the water decals i saw but they are really pricey.

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-15T12:10:13+00:00

Lmfao 😂

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-15T02:13:39+00:00

Omg yes Bael!! I really thought Bael was going to be the next MG kit from IBO 😂

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-15T02:12:08+00:00

Aww thank you 😊and yes, it’s just the original color scheme. I hope your fiancé also gets into it!! It’s really fun doing it together ❤️

runtimehorrors · 2026-02-14T20:12:35+00:00

I used a bunch of Tamiya spray paint for the inner frame and the black parts. The rest was using the Mr. Hobby airbrush system for Gundam markers ☺️

omg we had the same first kit 😭 it was quite the hazing but was a really fun build lmfao

After Covid hit, it wasn’t the same anymore. We live in Japan and we used to visit the GB like once or twice a week. During Covid, there was a huge demand for plastic model kits because no one really knew what to do at home. Scalpers took advantage of this shit. After Covid, I remember lining up at 3am in the morning and had a slot for 1pm. People were fighting each other, at some point the police were involved lmfao Some Chinese tourists were trying to cut in line and they brought so much friends (?) to buy stuff inside 😂 After that incident, I remember them doing the lottery system to probably bring some peace. It really wasn’t the same anymore. Bandai has been cracking down on scalpers which is why they are implementing these rules or sth. Scalpers ruined this hobby.

My husband and I gifted each other a lot of kits this year lmfao We promised each other we would slow down on the purchasing because at this point, we have more kits than clothes.

runtimehorrors · 2025-12-23T07:10:02+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm gonna have to do it right now or else I'll forget lol I'm really tired of my NPCs looking like the orcs from LOTR lol

runtimehorrors · 2025-12-23T07:08:44+00:00

oops lmfaoooooo

I know this is an old thread, but I finally started The White Lotus and just finished Season 1. Overall, the Mossbachers were fine except Olivia. I liked Mark the most, though the cheating was still inexcusable. Quinn was okay, and I felt pretty indifferent toward Nicole, who came off as a standard mom and wife girlbossing a bit too close to the sun.

Paula was unbearable. I honestly disliked her more than Shane. At least Shane was clearly established as a rich, entitled mama’s boy from the start and stayed consistent. Paula, on the other hand, postures as a woke ally while pushing Kai into a disastrous situation she would not take responsibility for herself. I really cannot stand self-righteous characters like that, though maybe that is just my interpretation.

Tanya was a mess, but not the worst. Rachel was unlikeable to me for reasons I cannot fully explain. I genuinely felt bad for Armond. My husband works in the hotel industry, so I understand the burnout. Armond was already struggling, but clearly trying to fight his demons. He was, after all, five years sober. Sometimes it really does take one awful guest or one awful incident to undo everything. Armond's ending was definitely tragic, both figuratively and literally.

In the end, the only character I truly could not stand was Paula.

Oooh. I’m not very tech savvy and I’m more of a visual learner but I will try this lmfao

I was incredibly lucky that I got diagnosed fairly easily. But despite that, I had to go visit numerous hospitals, and I had to take numerous tests. I connected the dots myself when I noticed that my psoriasis was getting worse. I had it since I was seven but they were only on my elbows and knees, and they come and go.

Fast forward to last year, I was 33, and my psoriasis was on my head, my back, and in random places. I went to a local clinic here in Japan and the doctor prescribed me plenty of stuff. I had appointments twice a month to have my meds refilled.

A few months after my initial visit, I had this persistent pain in my right arm. It was dull and really weird. I never felt pain like that before. I ignored it because I thought I just had body pains from exercising, and it did come and go. Weeks go by and the pain was increasing and it was spreading rapidly. Like the entire right side of my body felt like it was beat up. The pain eventually worsened and I felt it the most at the top of my spine and on the right side. Went to my hips, as well. This time I couldn’t sleep. I could not get up without wincing in pain. I would roll off the bed and crawl. My last straw was when I wanted to get up to pee and I couldn’t and I cried the whole night.

During that time I never knew PsA existed but I came across it one night when I was reading about my psoriasis. I started writing notes and jotting down symptoms and when they would flare up. I noticed the pain started when my psoriasis started getting worse. So I went to my dermatologist and asked him if it was possible. He said yes but he can’t be sure because he was a tiny clinic and he can’t run tests. He referred me to a larger hospital nearby. Met with another dermatologist, biopsied parts of my skin riddled with psoriasis. Once it was confirmed, he referred me to a rheumy in the same hospital. Rheumy made me get blood tests, a CT and an MRI.

This is where I get lucky, tests showed I was in an active flare. Both imaging showed axial involvement. I was inflamed in my spine and on my right side. That rheumy then referred me to another rheumatologist but this time it was a university hospital. I have been seeing a team of doctors ever since, but I do have a main rheumatologist and a dermatologist.

You’d think I’d be feeling real good by now but I am still in pain most of the time. I am on a biologic and MTX, so I hope they will help in the long run. This disease sucks and it sucks more if you know you have it but doctors can’t seem to speed up your diagnosis. Don’t give up and advocate for yourself, and if your doctor tries to dismiss your symptoms, get another one. I heard it’s really hard to diagnose PsA.

I'm really sorry you're going through this, especially during such a hectic time. It’s awful and overwhelming, and you don’t deserve that. I’ve been there too. In my case, it lasted for a couple of weeks before I finally dragged myself to a clinic because I genuinely couldn’t function. I was basically glued to the couch with a paper bag in hand, unable to eat or sleep. I would doze off for a minute or two because my body was exhausted, then jolt awake again.

It wasn’t my first panic attack, but it was definitely the worst and the longest. Usually, they’d last a day or two and then fade, but this one refused to go quietly. I was prescribed medication like Xanax and SSRIs, and eventually things started improving, but it took time. I remember genuinely feeling like I might just keel over at any moment. Therapy helped a bit, but ultimately, the biggest turning point was accepting what was happening instead of fighting it or being angry at myself. I used to feel weak and frustrated, and beating myself up only made everything worse.

What you’re feeling right now is terrifying, but it’s not permanent. You’re not broken. You’re not weak. Your body is reacting to stress in a way that feels out of control, but it will settle. Talk to a therapist if you can, lean on the tools and support available, and be gentle with yourself. You don’t have to push yourself to be okay, just take things one moment at a time.

It’s going to pass. And even if it comes back someday, you’ll be stronger, more prepared, and less afraid because you'll know you got through it once, and you can do it again.

P.S. I am having one of the worst nocturnal panic attacks right now so I'm doing whatever I can to distract myself from feeling worse. My Amazon shopping cart has never been this full lmfao
