i mean, i’m really not against the idea of finally doing the, ‘hey, the way they treat droids in Star Wars is pretty fucked up, huh?’ story—my single favourite Star Wars anything, KotOR II, addressed the topic.

oh, I’d been wondering why the mandibles on the Solo Falcon sans escape pod still didn’t look right to me—they’ve still got enough chunky extra stuff stuck to them to change the proportions.

The day change is why I’ve still not seen it. Doctor Who on Christmas Day was an established thing, so it’s generally been easy to convince people to get around the telly for a bit after dinner.

everyone - including the iphone owners - just uses whatsapp where i live 

I’d assume, from the name, that this is gonna be a sequel to Stand Alone Complex, set in 2045? That’d place it a bit over a decade after the end of 2nd Gig.

it’s my all-time favourite mech!

it’s pretty much the Macross equivalent of the endless panning shots around the Enterprise in dry dock in The Motion Picture—ridiculous, gratuitous, bad for the movie as a whole... but, uh, i’ve still sat through the whole thing hundreds of times.

They should just hire Shoji Kawamori. When it comes to transforming mecha, there’s just no beating his resume. (His resume is literally every single Valkyrie in the whole history of the Macross franchise, plus a bunch of other stuff.)

I think the mechanical wings are still in—most of the LEP officers in this scene seem to have wing packs:

Your Pikachu or Eevee will do this most often. They’re always out of their PokéBall, riding on your head or your shoulder. You can pet them using the Joy Con or just by touching the touchscreen, and they purr and trill. Sometimes they even bring you small gifts to show how much they care about you. Every time a…
