    Well yeah but I'd assume they don't want people to just walk to one of the last zones from the first zone, since there's mechanics progression.

    No, all the incidental NPCs are all talking about the trade port in the north of Mondstadt and the village in Liyue with the phenomenal tea culture that are both totally out to the east of Fontaine we swear. I'm pretty sure they're going to be in a 4.X patch.

    My biggest gripe with NW is that some of the activities are just so booooring. (and/or annoying)

    damn this wave was short huh

    Short my ass. This Nora season's been here fooooorrrreeeevvvvveeeeerrrr. So long I truly stopped paying attention for most of it.

    So then I capital-g Grinded my way through from Rank 12 to 30 in the last 48 hours of the season.

    Screw you, deadlines!

    did the same thing except my clock started at 17 hours. took me 2.5 to get most of the ranks

    If it was just "grind this much XP" or whatever per NW level I could just turn my brain off and do it, but some tasks are just ugh.

    It's a lot easier when you wait until the end is close, you have a ton of tasks that keep refreshing as you do them. It's both easier to pick and choose, but you can select tasks that complete multiple challenges in one mission. It's not always an option, but frequently when you have the entire chapter as a backlog.

    So they got a big Gundam event, the Gundam Fan e-Festival, going on for the next few weeks, and as part of it Gundam Info has put up for streaming:

    All of Witch From Mercury


    All five G-Reco movies (this is basically your only chance to officially see these without paying for a hundred plus dollar per movie Blu-ray I am not joking)


    And all of Turn A Gundam:


    The festival runs today through December 10th, which given usual Bandai events means that these will likely cycle out of rotation after (not sure about G-Witch, but definitely G Reco and Turn A)

    The movies are basically the whole series; I’ve heard some scenes have been cut out but never quite which ones

    Given the length of each movie, the number of them and TV G Reco only being a two cour run, pretty much everything is there compared to previous compilation films. It’s effectively the definitive edition, complete with revised animation (touch ups and newly animated scenes both)

    I really love how they made the eyes bigger than before

    If we ever finally get an MG G-Self, hopefully they keep that element, given they went the opposite route for the Turn A’s HG and MG kits (which always makes me bummed, because part of what works so well for the Turn A in animation are those large, somehow emotive eyes; the kits feel cold and stern in comparison)

    My memory of G-Reco as a series is that it was literally incoherent at points, so I'm curious if the movies manage to salvage the plot and characters.

    That said, the G-Self is a top-tier design. I know MG G-Self is basically a meme at this point, but it's absolutely at the top of my wish list.

    The G-Reco movies are generally considered better and more coherent than the TV show.

    Oh fuck I didn’t know there was a Gundam thread here now

    I got into Gundam in a huge way and started listening to GGP and everything and have far too many Gunpla

    And also, not enough Gunpla

    They made this char aznable fountain pen that is crazy awesome, and also only on eBay for like $300. Which I know I will pay at some point because I absolutely hate having money

    There’s also a sick green and gold Zabi family one but it says Sieg Zeon on it and …. … maybe I will buy it and just not tell anyone about that part

    Yeah those fountain pens are premium P-Bandai items targeted at salarymen. They've also done Zeon-branded luggage that are like $5000 retail.

    Is there a way to collect all four of your recruitments at once, or skip their operator intros? It feels like there has to be a better way to do this than clicking them one at a time and waiting until the text finishes displaying for each, but I can't find any buttons for it.

    Unless I've been missing it for years, no. You can hit skip to get through the bag opening animation, but the text has to scroll before you're allowed to click out. They don't allow the speed up options from the story text either, for some reason.

    Also melee arcanes.

    Also also exilus slots to melee, which can be used to slot things that work off of some ... I forget the name of the system but you have a rando chance on meleeing to proc the ability to use a free heavy attack. The exilus mods modify this technique to be probably less pointless.

    Also also also new color archon shards which you can either get from some new activity thing (along with some current color archon shards) or can be combined at your chair (red+blue = purple shard, red + yellow = orange shard, yellow + blue = green shard). We saw some VERY placeholder numbers for Green, Pablo seemed concerned people saw the PH effects and were going to take them as truth, because they're very experimental, but one of the options was 'increase the max number of corrosive stacks by 2' - so they're trying to make them more interesting effects than just the raw stat boosts we have currently.

    Some of my coworkers have recently shown interest in giving Warframe a proper go and in my description I made sure to make a point that I didn’t see made here.

    The game is Maximum Grind, but that’s because the Grind Is the Game. You’re not grinding so you can break out of the boring parts and get to the good parts, you’re Trying New Stuff so you can Try More New Stuff. You Make Progress by just Playing the Damn Game.

    I think that’s an important distinction from every other live service game I’ve played.

    I think that's the base reality of the game we all understand, I also think it's essentially the same in every mmo, but warframes grind is a lot more entertaining than everquests or whathaveyou. Each time you buy a piece of gear or mod, you're throwing away gameplay time. The game is so big, and styles of grind so different that you can use a little plat and play the ones you enjoy while ignoring the ones you don't. To some degree anyway.
