I've been watching the new Ryosangata Ruka series. It's not bad, but so far I'm not sure it holds a candle to the three seasons of Ryosangata Riko.
The shopkeeper was my favorite character, doesn't feel the same without him. But crossing fingers it seems like they may be setting up a guest appearance.
I was able to sticky this one a bit faster this time. 👍
Single sheet of paper, yes.
But for small out of the way towns (population 2k-10k) you'd want one specific to the town otherwise you'd be looking at a tiny speck on a state sized map. And the big maps might not have all of the small city side streets or not be up to date.
For reference, the town I did delivery in currently has a population of ~3,000 people and occupies 2.7 square miles out of the 268,596 square miles of the Texas map. Doesn't make sense to use a map where you're only looking at about 0.0001% of it.
Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando's house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.
Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.
I don't miss those days.
One of Vietnam's holidays, Tet, last 7 days, though. So that 12 total days off.
While the difference between a mecha and a helicopter might be obvious, I think the dividing line where they meet is quite fuzzy and then context and intent start to matter.
Do is it need to be humanoid to be mecha? I don't know. But does that mean a Guntank isn't a mecha, since it has no legs or arms? I think most people would agree that the Megazord is a mecha, but are it's component Zords not mecha as well because they are dinosauroid or animaloid or trainoid?
Our community is small enough that we don't need to gatekeep which plastic model robots are allowed to be posted, especially when non-gundam are still in the minority. I've also not seen anyone complain so far. Feel free to DM me if you have opinions you don't want to air publicly.

This game is quite aggravating, hard to figure out the logic of what words connect.
The fae operate on a different set of rules. The Tooth Fairy can only take teeth that are freely offered. The dead cannot consent.
I think as long as the majority of the content is Bandai models or mecha models, having the here and there other model is fine without a dedicated day or whatever.
I think I'm the only "active" mod in this community, and I've never needed to figure out how to use the mod powers. I'm hoping that that can continue. I do not believe in trying to preemptively fix problems that don't exist.
I've been keeping my eye out for anime I can watch with my early teen daughter, and the intersection between good anime and anime that doesn't require ample amounts of jiggle physics is fairly small.
The list is pretty much:
For me, it's gotta be the HG Ghost Gundam model. The silver coating was very nice, but it was just the icing on the cake. The true beauty of it was just how buttery smooth all of the parts fit together. It's hard to explain, but in the 30-40 models or so that I've done, sliding the parts together on the Ghost Gundam just felt so much more satisfying than any of the other models I've done.
Or as my wife likes to refer to it, the iPhone Zaku. I didn't seem to run into the same build issues that I did when I built the OG RG Zaku II, which had me belly crawling on the floor to find spring-flung beads and supergluing the leg spring mounts.
However, the pauldron sticker with the blue stripes was abysmal trying to get it to match the opposing and ever changing radius curves. The sticker was never going to lay flat. Luckily, there was an unused logo that matched the one on the stripe sticker, and I had a bottle of acrylic paint that was bought to paint rocks, and had also been recently used on some Warhammer minis that matched the color pretty spot-on. I ended up freehanding the stripes. It isn't perfect, but it definitely looks better than the sticker did.
I haven't put paint to brush in about 20 years, but got an itch and decided to throw together one of these smaller teams using mostly paint the kid had leftover after painting rocks. Now I just need to figure out the rules and find some opponents!
This model is kind of special for me. I spent several months in Korea last year on an extended work trip. I got to go to a Gundam Base for the first time and knew that I had to get at least one Gundam Base limited model as a souvenir. Among all of the MG size and translucent models I found the one Gundam that I enjoy with my HG/RG mono-eye loving heart. Of course, they released the GBK-20 two months after I got back to the states, but alas.
The model build was pretty standard fare for an HG. The Caletvwlches were more involved than I expected, each of the 3 being a whole sprue worth of parts unto itself. Getting the dual-handed hold on the dual blade S mode was difficult enough that I almost gave up.
Finally got my Maxter in the mail. I can honestly say that there is nothing more American than wearing football pads while shooting sixguns from a surfboard. Of course he looks great fighting against his little Rose friend.
The other thing not being mentioned is that credit cards and debit cards have different legally required protections.
