...eh, close enough.
I didn't think I'd get to use this one more than once.
Our washer died a couple of months ago so we had to hit the laundromat for awhile. Brought our own detergent of course, but we also got the dregs of whatever the last dozen or so people poured into the dispenser. It was like histamine roulette that landed on 00 suspiciously often.

hate GIMP, have yet to find a suitable Photoshop replacement
It's been awhile since I've tried GIMP. Nice to know that 1. Nothing has changed, apparently and B. I'm not the only one.
I resemble that remark.
Hyperlinks are a liberal psy-op. I'll only click regular links.
Any word on if cross-platform multiplayer will be supported? Would love to play with my nephew but he's a PlayStation kind of guy.
That was absolutely beautiful.
I make it easy for people.
"Start at the beginning and watch in production order. A bunch of stuff happens between/during those early entries but it's all essentially retcon, save it for when you have the context. It'll be more impactful."
But it's so olllllllllllld I can't watch this!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's my advice, do what you want with it.
slice of life, feel good
Gundam
Gundam doesn't really fit those descriptors at all 😅 But... there is the Build Fighters series, which takes place in near-future real-world. It focuses on fans of Gundam model kits, and technology that scans the kits and lets them battle. It's not slice of life, but it's (mostly) kids and low-stakes conflict revolving around competition.
Opinions vary on which entries are the strongest or weakest, but IMO the first entry (Build Fighters) is fantastic, and really nails the whole fan enthusiasm feel. A lot of the references are going to be lost on people who aren't already fans of the franchise, but it executes on the shonen format well enough to stand on its own.
Edit: Honorable mention for slice of life goes to The Witch From Mercury, which made a lot of people very angry for hitting some of those notes early on.

Posting this as I was prompted by a memory in !metal@lemmy.world . 08th Team is one of my favorite Gundam shows, and Nightwish is one of my favorite bands. I think the editing here is top notch.
Hard to believe this came out ~20 years ago. Rubyeye, if you're still out there, cheers.

On a related note, I have successfully gotten my nephew into Gundam... but his 14 year old Transformers-obsessed brain simply refuses to accept that Optimus would get urfed by even a GM beam spray pistol, let alone a newtype snipe.

TotK speedrunner Player 5 goes over the differences in game versions in terms of glitch accessibility and usefulness. Kind of dry, but informative.

Nothing terribly exciting this week IMO. I like the color scheme of the First Lot RG Nu. Probably not enough to buy it though.

(If Monster Maze sounds familiar, it's because it's the same channel that did the excellent Bokoblin documentary.)

And the modifier even saves through breaking/recharging. There are hoops to jump through, but IMO this seems much more practical than some of the other 1.2.1 glitches.

Heavy spoilers for Gundam X, plus a long-ish in-video ad for some licensed Gundam Seed gear. I wasn't expecting too much out of this but Kakarot's humor carried it for me. RIP Unit 3.
