Intro post? Okay.

I'm Rob! I've been on a Transformers podcast for 15 years and have been YouTubing for 11 or 12 I think. I mostly cover Gundam games these days, especially #GBO2, and love robot toys and models as well as action figures in general. I'm cranky when people get hurt for fun & profit.
More than a little annoyed by so many stores putting Pottershit in their promotional images this year, but Woot doing so with a game they've marked all the way down to eight dollars at least has a pleasant stink of desperation to it.

It's been five years now since the family friend who would usually pop by on Thanksgiving weekend showed up. Given that he's a gay man in poor health who was living in Florida through COVID and the DeSantis regime, I wonder if he made it. I hope so.

Also remember that any family member who blames you for "disrupting the family" or not "keeping the peace" with your nazi relatives probably isn't worth your time either.
Finally had that big fight with a Trump supporting family member over the holiday? Struggling with how to move forward as a family after they've endorsed inhuman atrocities?
Well, if you're looking for permission, here it is: You can cut them off. You don't owe nazis anything.

If you've got the steam and you want to stay in that fight, more power to ya. I mean that.
But a grown-ass adult who's chosen to support a racist fascist rapist idiot is not someone to whom you have an obligation, especially if they're an older relative who was supposed to be looking out for you.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

The HK pro-democracy camp recognised what the Chinese Communist Party ironically did not want to admit publicly - livelihood issues *are* political
Pro-democracy parties existed to be thorns in the government’s side — true enough. But the official story, that they “politicised” everything while the establishment camp championed livelihood issues, does not match the reality.

See below for an example of how they also pushed back on local issues.

42 years later and I think maybe a dozen or so 70s TTL games are playable via mame or fpga platforms. The process is tricky and needs very specialized skills and specific information… but frankly I don’t know how many more decades these surviving machines still have in them.
This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Conservative is an alignment to existing status quo. Our existing status quo is a machine built for eating people, so we must not be conservative. If we created a status quo dedicated to human thriving rather than profit of capital, we might well become conservatives. bsky.app/profile/matt...
So you're saying there's only one way out of the fascism trap, and it's not trying to carefully be the right amount of conservative.

If my memory is correct I'm the person who brought this to the Gundam fan community!

Twenty years ago I found this photo on a Mandarake USA listing. The only comment on the listing was "bad"

I live in regret that I never bought it.

The propaganda machine churns and broils. When you have enough money to feed a company forever, you can forget about your demographics and focus totally on your agendas, i guess.

The Google AI commercial they just showed during the Macy’s parade with the guy using AI to figure out what his girlfriend wants for a gift instead of remembering anything about her at least demonstrates they know the average AI user is a piece of shit.
