Any recommendations for viewing order for those new to Gundam trying to get a general idea of the series?
  • Yeah you've already got a good order. Those are basically all of the main UC Timeline Gundam works, in order of release, and they do get continuity of characters and themes.
    There are also side-stories that you can watch at any point now that you already know of the One Year War, such as 08th MS Team, 0080:War In The Pocket and 0083 Stardust Memories. In general, I'd go to the Gundam wiki and just follow their listing there.

    Also a lot of people recommend watching Unicorn Gundam after Char's Counterattack, but it isn't necessary for Hathaway's Flash.

  • Pride colored foxes (by Kacey)
  • Cute, I love some foxes =)

  • Why did no one tell me Gundam was so good?
  • Just fall into the hole of plastic crack. Your first build will be an oddly fun, satisfying experience ending with a fun little plastic robot, and then you order the next five =D

  • HELL YEAH BROTHER, WE GOT A GUNDAM COMMUNITY!!!
  • RAISE YOUR GUNTANKS WOOOOOOO

  • What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?
  • I'm looking for them now, and the only thing I could find so far was your comment ;-;
    I need somewhere to talk about the latest Geats episode!

  • What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?
  • Unless it's an online multiplayer game, it's an instant Nope button for me. I generally refuse to be locked out of my singleplayer content if I lose Internet connection, your servers go down, or worse... get shut down intentionally due to licensing deals ending.

  • I hate battle royale games
  • I'd like to recommend Insurgency Sandstorm for you, as it sits right in the middle of CoD-like shooters and tactical, milsim shooters... but I have myself soured out of it a while ago due to how it's handled by the devs that remained. I did have a fun time with Arma 3, but that required a group to make operations with, and 300GB of disk space for mods. Other kinds of action shooter games that could work are slower paced, vehicle or mech based games, but right now I can't think of a single one that is well maintained and populated.

  • I've recently stumbled into boomer shooters with WH40K: Boltgun. Please recommend some other games in the genre!
  • Alright, I did go on a boomer shooter and arena shooter romp a while back and found quite a few gems, although most of these answers will probably sound obvious.
    -DOOM classic, of course. Also try with mods, like Brutal DOOM
    -DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal are also really good, modernized takes on the formula -Quake is still really good, the remake is really nice. -Unreal Tournament '99 and 2004 might be officially dead, but they still have players if you follow the player maintained master servers
    -Blood:Fresh Supply on GoG
    -Hexen/Heretic is a classic -Dusk
    -Amid Evil
    -ULTRAKILL, really, all of the New Blood shooter projects are really good
    -Prodeus is one that flies under the radar of most, but it has a kickass soundtrack and vibe, and a gameplay that is between DOOM and Quake. Probably my favorite of the new bunch.

  • Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers
  • Yeah I am 100% sure that old.reddit is going to die. Not now, cause of the massive backlash already happening, but soon. Potentially immediately after this situation dies down. Good thing I'm already moving out of that whole situation...
