So it’s finally time to reveal my build and some kitbash mods of Gundam Zirius, from Gundam Eight. (More + progress shots in replies) This manga was announced just after I built my trial #gunpla so I feel a special affinity for it as I experienced it in realtime with #gundam veterans. #plamo 🧵

Seen a lot of takes in the last week calling Castlevania a Christian game/series which is insane. That said 10yo me would have a lot of anxiety using tarot in Belmont’s Curse.

Just finished Brand New Day. The Holland spidermans continue to be the highest continual quality entries in the MCU era films (I know they are Sony)

So what started as a successfully fast build slowed to a halt thanks to oddly humid CA weather. I ended up having 3 kits active at once. This is D Gundam First piloted by Darry Neil Guns. I was instantly drawn to the beam shotgun as a concept. I mean come on. #gundam #gunpla #plamo

Then I learned his storyline is he is an industrial worker who is such a Gundam weeb he repainted his worker suit to resemble a Gundam and is then accidentally drawn into armed combat with Neo Zeon. Because of this backstory it seemed like the right kit to try out this paint chipping effect.

His grapple-drill inspired some battle damage on a spare Zaku shield for the previous post’s action sequence, which I realized was too hardcore for a ZZ-era story so I reshot this wackier version.

@eurothug4000.bsky.social finished the game and watched your video. Good stuff! I obviously didn't grow up there but I had my own nostalgia hit as Clara Woods is not unlike where Climax UK was located and I had a flashback to one time I didn't have the door code. Fewer corpses though.

Finished Townfall. More detailed thoughts later, but now I just want to give a lecture on why building the hiding places like Alien: Isolation's was a misstep and causes undue confusion to the player.

For about 5 different reasons I can sum up my time with Townfall so far like this.

Townfall gets hard to relate to when the bald guy keeps insisting he isn’t responsible for the bad thing the corporation said was his fault.

Man if I told you ten years ago Konami would celebrate Castlevania’s 40th anniversary by releasing a Silent Hill about Simon it’d sound like a massive screwup.

I really wish I could trust y'all with NDA's cause I just riffed in a work zoom about Quentin Tarantino explaining IK and it was a classic bit.

Something all the new SH’s have done is focus more on exploring the outdoor town spaces. That was something I felt the originals started to stray from after the original and the past 3 years have proven its value.
