I’m watching Patlabor right now and hell yeah it owns. There’s a real good bluray set that includes eeeeverything and is in “see the grime on the cells” quality. 50 bucks is extremely fair for that https://a.co/d/j1rJhO2

You figure it has to be tough for ansel elgort to have his white guy in japan moment upstaged so dramatically. And by mom: we have tom hardy at home, at that

khwarezm posted:Hot take, Crichton was a lot like Stephen King in that he was a popular, pulpy writer where the adaptations of his work were frequently better than the original. I would say King has few adaptations better than the original work - with Crichton most adaptations are better. Timeline is probably worse as a movie but the book is also a lot goofier than Crichton's seriousness suggests. State of Fear (the global warming denial book) was stupid even at the time but dear lord does it look insanely stupid now. He also put a guy who criticized that book in a later book as a microdicked pedophile. khwarezm posted:Curiously these animals are still around, kind of, Chimaera like ratfish are part of this subgroup in the Cartilaginous fish and the last remaining remnant of the Holocephali group that people tend to be talking about here when they talk about ultra ancient "sharks". The most famous of these is Helicoprion, which had a massive sawblade built into its face instead of normal teeth and was bigger than a Killer whale. As with many prehistoric animals these guys looked less cool as we discovered more about them. Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus are some of the few I think ended up looking better/more interesting in the modern era (apart from the weirdos who cling to the absurd delusion that rex had feathers). Woulda been great seeing a JP with the modern Spinosaurus but with it changing every other week whatever they put in would age poorly. I guess with sharks megalodon got more interesting with it not being a carbon copy of great white anymore. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Speaking of giant robots, via model kits we now have a better look at the Mobile Suit designs from that upcoming Netflix CGI Gundam thing.  The Zaku is growing on me but that Gundam is very ugly

Giant humanoid robots don't seem like they'd be good value for the resources. Surely bombs and missiles are more destructive and easier to build and deliver than huge swords that a bigass robot has to swing to use.

Ok so in the Universal Century timeline where the original Gundam and this new Gundam take place, there’s these things called Minovsky Reactors. Super compact, super efficient nuclear reactors. Everything in space is powered by a Minovsky Reactor. The one drawback is they produce something called Minovsky Particles, which disrupt radio waves and other forms of long range communication. The more reactors in one place, the higher the Minovsky Particle concentration, the greater the disruption. So if you have, for example, a fleet of space battleships in formation, forget it. Your smart missile is turning into a dumb missile when it gets within a few kilometers.

This meant that space battles in the Universal Century became basically the same as sea battles of old; you line up all your ships and fire broadsides at each other. This would have meant easy victory for the Federation against Zeon in the zone Year War since the Federation had so many more ships and so much more capacity to build ships. But Zeon invented a whole new weapon of war; the Mobile Suit. Basically a space fighter plane, MS could fly right up to enemy ships and shoot them with a bazooka, or put a heat to tomahawk right through their bridge. What made them especially effective in space combat was the fact that they were humanoid. This was called the AMBAC system, or Active Mass Balance Auto Control. By moving their limbs, Mobile Suits were able to make small, precise changes to their position and orientation in a 3D environment without expending any fuel. Of course, eventually the Federation started producing their own mass produced Mobile Suits, and then their greater productive capacity allowed them to defeat Zeon.

Now, if your question is why do you need a horse to pilot a horse gundam for your humanoid gundam to ride I would tell you you're a idiot who hasn't once thought about how hard it would be to train a person to operate the controls in the horse gundam.
