Reminder: There is also a 4-door Mansory Urus if you have more than one friend who wants to look ridiculous.

We need a name for the traditional Japanese crafts/cyberpunk/masses of gnarled flesh aesthetic that hallmarked 90s games like Hagane and Runsaber and R-Type, etc. I nominate Crushcore, after the PCE pinball games.

• Vantablack, with electroluminescent trim on all the panels so your car looks like Tron

I think the weirdest thing in Gundam is probably still that time in Victory Gundam where the kid in the suit had to fight a bunch of bikini girls. Even the protagonist is REALLY confused what the point of it is as he nervously tweaks away hoards of swimsuit commando chicks in zero gravity.

Deranged young people are a staple of Gundam. That and pretty girls slapping people in public. Sometimes the deranged young person is the one doing the slapping, or being slapped.

Comics Kang isn’t blue, it’s a mask. Sometimes it’s a physical helmet with an articulated mechanical face or blue balaclava, sometimes it’s some kind of force field like in the movie. I imagine they went the forcefield route to avoid hiding the actor.

AI art works just fine, the problem is that it STEALS shamelessly. Nobody’s going to want to commercialize it until a system of ensuring you’re totally safe from copyright infringement is in place. The only way to do that is to assemble your own library of reference art that you own, at which point it would be cheaper…

I hate it when I put on my nicest watch chain to chat up cute stoned princesses in tiny party hats, only to be shut down ruthlessly. I told her she was lovely, what do women even want to hear anymore?

So Teslas are luxury cars that aren’t all that nice, American built cars with miserable build quality versus Ford and GM (or Toyota who now make the majority of their cars here), a self-driving car that routinely kills and maims people, AND Elon Musk can turn off your car’s features online if he doesn’t like you? Wow,…

clicks motherfucker sounds like an R-rated star wars character

Not if you do a genuinely awful job! Our house had BEEN a flip, and in the course of making it not suck, here’s what I found:

Good Bones had an episode where their crew lost a whole day knocking an add-on kitchen off a house because parts of it kept disintegrating around them, and at the midpoint a big beam fell on one of their workers and dislocated his arm, that felt pretty believable

Having just spent ten years making my horrible starter home worth living in, then selling it, I can attest that the line between fixing up a house and performing Sisyphean labors in hell does blur after a while.

It’s wild how all this is mostly the result of doctrinal decisions. Why do we need a multirole stealth fighter when we already had a capable interceptor, several attack planes, and all manner of bombers? Because we need plane that does everything! Why does it need to take off from a little aircraft carrier? Because…

Some dude breaks a keyboard - that’s a ban

Borderlands loves to do this. So far as I know the entire underground mine level in BL2 that opens after Sanctuary lifts off is completely optional too, and it’s one of the biggest areas of the game. Wonderlands ups the ante with like 2-3 totally optional levels - that awesome pirate-city-that-wraps-around-a-mountain…

A friend once described it to me as “The Jetsons, with Flintstones animal-based technology, living in a lightless underground hell” and yeah, that’s basically the movie. Last I checked, the whole thing is on Youtube, but the pal I was watching it with made me turn it off after the scene where the little boys pluck…

So is this gonna hew closer to the manga? Does that mean that SPOILERS AHEAD

Thoughts:

I actually like this a lot.
