My god, how did I not think about it before:

“Wait, is that tiger thing a gun!?”

Yech, disregard the ‘not played either’ statement. I think I forgot how popular ‘Secret of Mana 2' name got and didn’t think about how much it stuck to gaming history.

I safely assume that it seems you haven’t played either game, so to clarify; it was a simple mistake from Bashcraft. It is most definitely Seiken Densetsu 2, ie. Secret of Mana.

No words. They should’ve... sent... a poet.

This wasn’t worth showing off. The animations are not even close to polished, and as a stranger to the series this ‘teased’ absolutely nothing to me. The most I’ve learned is this team has good environment and object artists.

I suppose I should contextualize what I said. I’ve pretty much dropped off Gunpla for years now as I found out they were never as rare or expensive as they had been in the USA way back when (‘99 to ‘09 ish).

I hate how Japan itself ruined Gunpla for me. For those who don’t know, they’re significantly cheaper there than they are just about anywhere in the USA (and presumably most other countries). It’s actually astounding how big the import tax is for these things. Because it makes you forget, these things are literally…

I feel like there’s something... off about that Pikachu. It’s like the look you give when you got away with something but trying too hard to make a poker face. Did... did this Pikachu commit a crime??

I think you’re mistaking flexibility with plasticity. Even the toughest commercial glass bends, absolutely, but if you’re saying expanding metal sheets that thin can generation enough tension to keep good glass ‘bent’, then that’s incorrect.

I’m not gonna get too technical here, but I’m assuming rendering here just really meant draw to screen. One could definitely build an NES ROM consisting entirely of frames of that GIF/animation and the NES would have no problem drawing them.; it’s still following the 4 color rule as well.

You’re mistaking things I wrote down. I said the METAL frame was bending, not the plastic.

If I had to guess, this phenomenon is actually under-reported. Since we have stories ranging from ‘brand new’ to ‘a few months docked’, I’m more convinced that the metal frame they used is of suspect quality. A good amount of bad batches I’m guessing, or just straight up shoddy mill sourcing. With that said, the…

That is true, but the key here is ductility. Glass requires a MUCH higher temperature before it becomes plastic from deformation. Even a thin sheet of steel (which it probably isn’t, I’m betting it’s really an aluminum/zinc alloy) wouldn’t take too much before its atoms ‘spread apart’ permanently. Given enough time…

I looked at some teardown pics of the Switch and if I had to guess, they didn’t account for the large metal frame plates to expand/deform so much after prolonged heat exposure. Most (good) mobile devices actually rely on the rigidity of its glass screen to counteract this effect. But since the Switch screen is also…

Would you rather it get REALLY NSFW?

That Starmie with a Psycho Pass gun suddenly made me wonder about a Miami Hotline but with Pokemon masks. Someone should make this.

Wait, did something finally trump Left Shark? Will Right Pikachu be a thing now??

EDIT: Whoops, meant to respond to main, sorry Mr. Bomb.

As a cat caretaker, I find this adorable. As a mecha fan, it just makes me miss Megas XLR just a bit more.
