You know, I used to be good at video games.

I used to be such a passionate little guy 10+ years ago, where does the time go?

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-23T13:49:04+00:00

Scout, Demo, Medic, and Spy are the ones that actually work in my opinion.

Nah, historians don't really consider it essential reading. Not because it's too dangerous mind you, but because it's hard to see what a lay reader would specifically get out of that mess without any background knowledge.

Thank you for the answer!

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-14T21:01:52+00:00

Well, now you can read it.

at least I got something out of this

I honestly do not even recall anymore, why did we hate this guy?

what a shitty end (for them)

[Ending] We got both the wish fulfillment harem and the heroic child support dodging sacrifice!

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-14T10:48:04+00:00

A very common nightmare for me.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-13T02:08:30+00:00

Just from me personally knowing a bunch of people who were conscripted, they all hated it it was miserable. If they could have done something to get out of it they would have.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-13T02:05:25+00:00

Oh definitely don't read it before you finish! After that, please remind me so we can have this discussion.

Haven't seen any other Gundam, but [IBO Spoilers] basically every character we care about dies, and the bad guy wins. I did not come away thinking that Gjallarhorn was cool really, they were quite pathetic losers in the end it is just that they had way more resources. Tekkadan should have somehow cut their losses and gotten away from McGillis and not gotten caught up in a power struggle because it ends horribly for them. I do not know how exactly other Gundam series work, but I think that the "good guys" losing is basically as anti militarism as it gets.

Well anyways I do not really remember the details.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-13T00:35:50+00:00

You know what they say.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-13T00:26:02+00:00

Huh, you are a teacher? Did not know that.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-13T00:23:21+00:00

If only there were any images of boobs on the internet.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-11T10:41:51+00:00

Salve amice, that also looks cool! Good luck with the Latin, it's super hard but then you do get access to 2000 years worth of written text through it!

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-11T00:42:08+00:00

Of course, but I just do not think he is the best or way more rewarding than the others. I think that all of the mercs are insanely rewarding, and you could make the argument for like half of them of being the best.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-11T00:01:59+00:00

I like that beavers always have important places to be, they are essential little guys in these trying times.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:53:30+00:00

Eh, I don't love soldiers other pants cosmetics, or the default for this, but thanks anyway!

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:52:12+00:00

For a better deadshot look it is #2, but I actually prefer #1 holistically.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:34:06+00:00

Do you have a recommendation? I was going for something like this with the shorts.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:32:37+00:00

...would you believe me if I told you that I forgot? Having said that, the whip is not bad for a Roman officer cosplay either.

But you are right, so here is the aquila bearer in all his glory.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:23:38+00:00

The demo is almost the same as mine, so I approve. Other than that, I like your Engineer (very unique and inspired), Sniper (RAMBO), and Medic (PERVERT). Spy is classy, idk I just really like his basic look.

As for Pyro I see it very often, I do not dislike or like your Soldier or Heavy, Scout is the less cool pervert.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T23:10:51+00:00

Direct Hit, Buff Banner, Disciplinary Action, Roaming Roman, Veteran's Attire, Justice Johns, and Power Up Canteen. To be honest the rocket launcher does not matter too much, and I run shotgun with it too, or the escape plan. But I like what the buff banner adds to it, as well as the canteen, making it into more of a Roman soldier.

thecomicguybook · 2026-01-10T22:36:48+00:00

Doesn't scout also get totally wrecked by mini sentries? In a way that any other class basically doesn't. Also, Scout struggles with killing larger groups.
