Oh hey, Engage is up and ready now. I blew all of my starter gems on the unicorn banner and didn't even get a single UR out of it. Welp that's my gacha luck in action. Otherwise it's certainly an auto-battler.

my local hobbytown just became a bandai flagship store! i dont really know what that means but i saw the announcement on instagram. looks like they got a bit of a makeover and maybe some expanded stock. i guess the implication is that they'll maybe have a more direct pipeline to bandai and things will hit shelves earlier? pretty cool. maybe will pop in there soon and see if i can grab an RG epyon

edit: whoops thought this was the gunpla thread my bad

I can't wait to see what a dumpster fire this turns into. Like sure, if they were trying to make their VR MMO anime franchise real, I get that. But they layered on the cryptobro poo poo which tells me the reason they did it was to cash in on that bubble, which has already popped and isn't coming back.

The anime also feels completely disingenuous, which is a shame because I could see myself being cautiously optimistic if the first episode wasn't a clip reel of "SEE THIS THING YOU LIKE PLEASE CLAP IT'S RIKU AND SARAH AND FUMINA PLEASE CLAP."

from watching that video the coolest part of the meta verse is legitimately the area where you can see 3d models re-enact famous gundam moments

so yeah the coolest part of metaverse is the 3d models doing a 2 second looping animation of a scene i've already seen, how can i throw my money at this?

My assumption is that the idea is "you can see it EARLY inside the METAVERSE" because they're trying to be Gundam Fortnite.

Paptimus already came back as a teenage boy (and then as a proto Angel Halo) in that manga everybody loved, Gundam Walpurgis.

The problem with this is that Hathaway's Flash was written 33 years ago and we already know what the plot is

Gacha game PvP always, always, always, without exception, exists as a format to allow spenders to feel good about themselves by effortlessly squashing people who spend less, and thus tempting people who want to win to spend money to do so.
