That was my thought as well.

I resemble that remark.

Hyperlinks are a liberal psy-op. I’ll only click regular links.

Any word on if cross-platform multiplayer will be supported? Would love to play with my nephew but he’s a PlayStation kind of guy.

I make it easy for people.

“Start at the beginning and watch in production order. A bunch of stuff happens between/during those early entries but it’s all essentially retcon, save it for when you have the context. It’ll be more impactful.”

But it’s so olllllllllllld I can’t watch this!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s my advice, do what you want with it.

slice of life, feel good

Gundam

Gundam doesn’t really fit those descriptors at all 😅 But… there is the Build Fighters series, which takes place in near-future real-world. It focuses on fans of Gundam model kits, and technology that scans the kits and lets them battle. It’s not slice of life, but it’s (mostly) kids and low-stakes conflict revolving around competition.

Opinions vary on which entries are the strongest or weakest, but IMO the first entry (Build Fighters) is fantastic, and really nails the whole fan enthusiasm feel. A lot of the references are going to be lost on people who aren’t already fans of the franchise, but it executes on the shonen format well enough to stand on its own.

Edit: Honorable mention for slice of life goes to The Witch From Mercury, which made a lot of people very angry for hitting some of those notes early on.

The curse of Fëanor runs long

I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

I’m definitely willing to give it a shot provided there’s no lootbox crap. I did some reading and the series seems to be more of a looter, which I’m fine with. All I ask is that it be 3rd person camera, like the vs games (especially the old ones). 1st person is a deal breaker for my motion sickness-prone brain.

It’s fairly perfect. Can’t take credit though, I’m but a simple meme hoarder.

I’m dead.

That’s what she said.
