That was my thought as well.
The CTO at my last job was pulling down millions a year despite barely knowing anything about anything, and being little more than a glorified bully. He got there via project management, after all.

...eh, close enough.
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.
waits patiently for wider distribution
not really all that patiently
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.

AMV - 08th MS Team set to 10th Man Down by Nightwish
Posting this as I was prompted by a memory in [email protected] . 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.
Tutorial on escaping the final battle
Posted as text due to thumbnail spoilers for endgame.
Side note: Do Not Press R.
Seems like a bit of a downgrade
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.
More TotK trivia with Max B/RinHara5aki
A few things in this one I hadn't seen yet. Spoilers (marked) for endgame at the end of the vid.
How Updates Completely Change Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns
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.
Happy New Year from Hyrule (and Monster Maze)
(If Monster Maze sounds familiar, it's because it's the same channel that did the excellent Bokoblin documentary.)
How it feels suggesting Gundam to non-anime fans
Reposted from my comment in this post over at [email protected]
More culling/fuse entanglement shenanigans: add a modifier to the Master Sword, works in 1.2.1
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.
Gundam X & G-Falcon Development History
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.

The stats behind Sages in Tears of the Kingdom - Croton on YT
Croton breaks down the damage and modifiers of the Sages' attacks and abilities. I typically play with the Sages off unless I need a specific ability, but it was interesting seeing the numbers.

Gundam Requiem for Vengeance has been announced as a Netflix-exclusive 6 episode series
This is a new original animated series created using Unreal Engine 5!
I'm always down for more OYW content. Can't say I'm happy about the Netflix jail part.
