I turned 40 last September.
Good thing was I finally got to go to Japan for the first time, and with my son no less!
Makes being old worth it!

They finally released a small figure of Trip.
Now I have my own @spectramis.com action figure.

At least, that's how I see it ๐Ÿคฃ

Why?
A Xenoblade 4 with the world's of 1 and 2 combined, and the inclusion of the Xenosaga world would be epic

Even if Xenoblade, a hack and slash like that will lose appeal quickly.

I enjoyed it for what it is.
Loved the overall theme and designs.

I punished myself and watched the EN dub and was still enjoyable.

My rating is:

Sorry to say, I still haven't finished it.
But I'm almost done with Xenoblade X!

Dan Tictum, everybody, proving that he in fact has not changed, and is still, in fact, a piece of shit who deserves nothing.

Why would anyone support this bellend.

Can the British commentary team PLEASE stop ball-washing this dick.

Looking at the product dimensions, I wasn't sure if they were for the boxed item, or the finished model.
But if that works out, that may be it!

My next plan would be to try and jump back into UCGO and place a Tin Cod next to something that I have measurements for, and try to estimate the size!

Actually 1/144 measurements are exactly what I'm looking for.
I managed to rip a model of the Tin Cod (and a few others) from the old PC Gundam Online, and wanted to see if it could get it printed to 1/144 scale.

Found it really bizarre that the Tin Cod's measurements have never been listed!

@zeonicscans.bsky.social in all of your years of going through countless Manga and mechanical files, have you ever seen anything that would hint towards the size of a Tin Cod?

I'll take a peek

At the moment I'm spending a lot of time consolidating decades of family data.

When I'm done I may start dual booting and playing with more still on my gaming PC.

I wouldn't even call it gatekeeping.
More like OS elitism.

That's rather bizarre.

My Surface 7 is my general go to using Ubuntu.
But I have still yet to take the plunge on my main PC...

I've already migrated my general apps to those which are cross platform.
There are a few bits of concern, like my steering wheel or old VR headset's functionality

Picking a repo is enough to turn a lot of ppl off.

Not to mention that some Linux 'users' can be very dogmatic about repos.

How dare I use Ubuntu ๐Ÿคฃ

(I think it has a very polished UI and general user experience)

Valve may be doing for their own ends, but the fact that it remains open source and their work on Proton can be used by anyone means that it is still for 'the greater good'

That said, the difficulty comes with more... Niche things.

Like putting Ubuntu on my MS Surface 7 (I understand the irony) had some hurdles and tweaking to cross, that would have instantly turned off a lot of people!

Valves dev push of WINE/Proton is breaking through the Linux gaming barrier.
A lot of common apps have excellent alternatives.

But the one thing that terrified people is the existence of Terminal.
I sometimes wonder if they know that CMD exists.

It just needs a bit of 'polish'.

I will say, from an end user perspective there are a lot of great things in Linux
The concept of repos and unified/inline app update is actually incredibly user friendly
A lot of core every day apps have native builds, especially considering that the majority of End users dont use things like office

That said, MS has been doing a great job of pissing people off.
I have never seen as much general discussion about Linux out in the wild as I have this last year or 2.

Linux wins in so many ways. But to a lot of ppl it is scary.
Valve has done so much to bring Linux back into the public eye as a viable alternative.

The lack of 3rd party dev support is sadly a circular argument.

Lack of public uptake = lack of support.
Lack of Support = lack of public uptake.
