Nice! I never played the Breakers on Vita, just PS3 for the first two, PS4 for the third, and PC for GB4. I did play Gundam Seed Battle Destiny (good, but not as good as Gundam Battle Universe on the PSP) and Gundam Extreme Vs Force, which I seem to recall reviewing poorly but I loved it for the solid single player campaign.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
mikeszekely replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
New PC arrived. Asus ought to step up their QC... Out of the box it kept giving me errors about being unable to continue the Windows installation. Fortunately I used to fix computers for a living, so it wasn't difficult to get into Windows Recovery, run a factory reset, and then get it setup. Another minor complaint is that Best Buy advertises it as having three M.2 slots and two 2.5" bays. Well, the only way you're getting three m.2 slots is if you pull out the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module; there's only one free slot. As for the 2.5" bays, there's room in front of the PSU but no mounting hardware- no cages, no sleds, no caddies, nada. I put my 2TB game drive in the M.2, and for now I installed my 3TB 3.5" bulk storage drive by screwing it into the bottom of the case with a single screw. Down the roads I'll probably get a PCIe NVME card and a 4TB SSD to replace it, but I'm kind of irritated that a case that's probably 20-25% bigger than my old one can't properly fit a 3.5" drive. On the plus side, I went from 45-50fps on a medium-low mix and minimal ray tracing on AC Shadows to 60-65fps on High with the ray tracing cranked all the way up. So once I get all my stuff reinstalled and my settings tweaked the way I like I'll be quite happy. EDIT: tried Ultra High and was in the high 50s, so I dialed back a few things like fog, shadows, and clutter and was able to get over 60 with with good stuff still maxed. -
Thanks for the link. Excited to read it tonight. Also love the Miami Vice panel. Lol

Damn it: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/mythic-quest-canceled-apple-tv-plus-new-ending-1236366662/ It was a fun series that could surprise you with its silliness or kick you in the feels. Or sometimes both. Gonna miss where they could have taken the characters with another season.

This was the only Space Police I set I owned for decades until I finally got my hands on a second-hand copy of the Spy Trak I in my forties, a set I'd really wanted for all those years. I honestly never noted the lack of obvious powerplants on the SP sets, but that's an interesting observation. It makes me like them no less. Anyway, the Galactic Peace Keeper struck a chord with me as a kid due to its sleek styling and, always a fan of transformative features, I loved the pop-out winglets with their 'sensor arrays' 😉. Just a gorgeous little ship that still holds up today. Regarding that canopy, it debuted in 1989 in the Space Police sets and continued to feature in sets until 2002. Funny that we wouldn't get a modern analog for another twenty years with Buzz's XL-15. As to stacking, although it was obviously designed with that in mind, stacking only occurs in two sets out of the thirty-five in which it came. Both were Space Police II sets, the Galactic Mediator and the Solar Snooper, the latter of which I have.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
It does make a certain amount of sense that a profoundly violent high-energy and high-gravity event like the collapse and explosion of a high-mass star might produce a material that is in some way connected to gravity as a force. Doubly so if Master File's view of fold carbon and fold quartz is correct and the stuff is essentially a stable crystal made from higher-dimension gravity particles. - Yesterday

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Definitely one of the weaker episodes... between this being yet-another "Lady Lishu is bullied by her own ladies-in-waiting" episode AND another "Maomao investigates reports of a ghost" episode, it's definitely not a particularly strong story. Started Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? today over lunch. It's got a lot of energy. A LOT. Every character in this is extremely energetic. The protagonist is a quiet guy who wants to make jewelry for a living, and his best friend (the girl of the boy-girl friendship) is an astonishingly genki girl with no sense of personal space and a terrible sense of humor who enjoys teasing him. As teenage will-they-or-won't-they's go, this one's actually pretty believable in that they give off strong "No way, he/she's like a brother/sister" energy. It's quite fun so far. -

If that were the case, the waxy pigment would've been crooked and smeared, like Jack Burton after trading spit with Gracie Law (Big Trouble in Little China). That figure looks a lot more like it was self-applied in front of a makeup mirror...- 613 replies

Here's a pretty comprehensinve article on Zimmerit about Blassty: https://www.zimmerit.moe/8-bit-anime-cruise-chaser-blassty/ The only downside of the kit is that you have to choose between one of the two forms to display. I started putting some parts together:

seems like a common thing with a lot of the Hasbro stuff these days. I haven’t seen a Wolverine that they’ve done that doesn’t look like he’s up to some questionable activities when he disappears from the rest of the team.- 613 replies

I'll definitely get a 3rd if I find it cheap at Amazon or Mandarake so that I can leave one in Fighter mode and the other in Battroid mode. I've seen the Fire Valkyrie go for pretty cheap so I'm crossing my fingers. I'll keep my Yamato 1/60 in one mode.
-
Ugh at that price definitely sticking to one. I'll just have to be satisfied with my Yamato version.
-
I'm wondering whether this one will hit clearance sales after release. If it starts showing up discounted on Amazon later, I'll probably grab a few more for customs.
