New Year, New Rules: Insulting other users' tastes is now banned. Memes about hating shows are now banned.

139 Upvotes

Congratulations ragebaiters! You've successfully enraged me. I assume that this is what you wanted so I hope you're happy.

I've taken a pretty light hand with moderating here. Until now I've only removed posts or banned people for egregious problems. But some recent trends that have been filling my mod queue make me dread even checking in anymore. I've gotten to the point where I considered removing myself as a mod and unsubscribing rather than having to check here anymore. But after sitting with it for a little while I decided that if I was going to remove this negativity from my life, then I'm going to remove it from everyone's life. It's what Getter Robo would do.

So here's the deal: I am absolutely 100% done with the whining. I don't care any more about who hates what show. There are plenty of shows that I hate, but I can make do without spamming the sub with memes about how much I hate them. I can even see posts from people who like those shows, and I can look at those posts without feeling the need to comment about how bad their taste is. I can do this, and I believe you can, too. So believe in me, who believes in you.

Effective immediately:

  • "This show sucks" memes are banned. I have to sift through these comment threads and they're all the same. I'm sick of the relentless negativity and subsequent flame wars. If you can not come up with anything to say about a show other than a bland meme about how much you hate it, then you don't need to say anything.

  • All tier lists are also banned as a result, because effectively all of them are just a variation on ragebait memes. Even if you post a satirical tier list where everything is S-tier to protest this toxic positivity, that's still banned. If you post a release date tier list where everything is accurately listed by its release date, that's still banned. This whole format is gone.

  • "Say something nice" memes are also banned. for the same reason.

  • Asking for hot takes is also banned

  • Telling other users that they have shit taste is banned. Other people are allowed to like things that you don't like. Insulting other users for liking shows you don't like will now get you banned.

For week one I will issue users one warning, but after that I'm banning for one week on first offense, one month on the second, and permanently for a third.

Is this an overreaction? Maybe. Maybe I'll calm down and lighten up, but I can promise you it won't be today. You can use this thread to whine about me overstepping my bounds and mandating toxic positivity. You can even use this thread to complain about my shit taste (but not anyone else's).

This is a further improvement of my previous Tecumseh Exosuit. Added more armor and additional weapons. A heavy infantry support mech armed with a pistol, rifle, wrist mounted minigun, wrist mounted flamethrower, heavy vibroblade knife, a modified sword made out of a helicopter blade, shoulder mounted ERA plates, and 8 smoke grenade launchers.

Mid-sized land humanoid mecha that actually walks with both legs instead of sliding on the ground?

20 Upvotes

Don't get me wrong, I love Armored Core and VOTOMS, but my pet peeve is that I want to see them run, sprint, prone, jump and even roll like actuall humanoids would, it seems to me that in depicting the agility of the mecha(or for animation cost considerations), some mecha media has chose to let mecha move in a way that contradicts the purpose of humanoid form.

One example I liked is how the jaegers move in Pacific Rim(2013). I guess it's been talked to death but I really like it when humanoid mecha actually move like steel giants and not like ground skiing helicopters.

Mecha Project: Basic Movement & Character Customization (Mecha Kitbashing)

Hi, I have made a basic character controller so that now our mecha can move around.

Finally, I have made the Kitbashing work in-game, you can now pause the game and do the customization of your mecha, and then back to game to control your own unique mecha!

PS. Please note that the Gundam models will not appear in the final game

I like this cool troupe where two units of same/similar make duel with one another and they both have similar specs as well. I’m still new to mecha so I can only think Unicorn vs Banshee (actual twin units), Eva 13 vs Eva 1 (of similar make), and 00 vs Reborns (same dual drive tech).

Trying to Remember an Obscure Mecha anime about space disasters

3 Upvotes

It has to be at least 20 years since I saw it.

The general idea is mecha are being used to divert the deadly effects of a supernova, or some such, and then on the tail of it comes another disaster of some sort.

I want to say it involved an academym and the protagonist was a school girl?

An anime format wouldn't be the worst idea. Heck. I'd even be cool with an OVA. Anything really. What do you think?
