oh my god, that show's almost ten years old already?

ShadowCell

so the carrots are a conspiracy, then.

they were going to give him a starring role in Unicorn . it was his big break and he had really thrown himself into the role, but tragically, the night before production began he was found dead in his hotel room, presumably killed by the strain of having an actual personality after having gone so lo...

ShadowCell

it's deviantart's new sitewide theme that is definitely absolutely positively 100% not an exerted attempt to make themselves look like Artstation in any way at all whatsoever in the slightest not even remotely and the fact that it makes deviantart look like Artstation is completely and utterly a 100...

more importantly, are you going to add a mecha section on the Gundam vs Hello Kitty shorts, with a mecha page on Hello Kitty? with specs and stuff?

the dream sequence where the hero's left testicle pilots a mobile suit and goes off on an adventure by itself.

if they are going to do this, though, i will be very upset if they don't call it Mobile Suit Gundam Ball.

ShadowCell

that sounds just crazy enough to work

Imageshack switched from free accounts to paid accounts in 2014, and deleted all free accounts that didn't switch over to paid in 2016, which would have broken all the links to Imageshack people posted here. so that is probably why they're redirecting you to the homepage. i'm not sure if you can go ...

Again, I did not mean to seem as if I was being rude to you in my last reply, I am actually interested in discussing technicalities regarding the feasibility of giant humanoid vehicles in real world militaries. well, see, there is one person in this thread who has engaged your little classification...

Though feel free to reply with precise information regarding why gigantic humanoid vehicles are not feasible in real world militaries.

see, stuff like this is what makes me think you're a troll.

ShadowCell

@ShadowCell I would think that advances in laser CIWS would render even hypersonic guided missiles ineffective, if that is what you were referring to by prceision weapons. assuming, of course, that there are advances in laser CIWS that are not matched by corresponding advances in guided missiles or...

ShadowCell

"positing conjectures" is just a fancy way of describing handwaving. like, i can just as easily "conjecture" that precision weapons will get more precise and destructive, meaning mecha will still be slow unwieldy targets.

ShadowCell

i mean physics is one reason why giant humanoid mecha are unfeasible as military weapons but there are other reasons, like the thing where modern precision weapons make mecha just huge unwieldy targets, which is why Gundam usually has some sort of Macguffin (e.g. Minovsky particles) to eliminate tho...

ShadowCell

also, Santa Claus is not real, the Tooth Fairy is not leaving money under your pillow for your teeth, and the real reason it's called a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle instead of a truck is that bureaucrats and politicians are more likely to approve no-bid contracts for decades-long procu...

ShadowCell

the topic of the feasibility of gigantic humanoid military vehicles in real world militaries.

if that's what you really want to talk about it, i hate to break it to ya but the feasibility of gigantic humanoid military vehicles in real world militaries is exactly zero.

ShadowCell

Though the thing about what you mention in the last paragraph of your reply is that these days there is already so much preexisting military technology, vehicles, classification and other infrastructure etc. that the development of gigantic humanoid vehicles probably wouldn't be anywhere near as si...

ShadowCell

hah, so that would make the Zeta Gundam a High-Visibility High-Performance Super-Heavy Humanoid Geometrically-Variable Deceased Significant Other-Powered All-Environment Multirole Military Vehicle The mobile weapon acronym/initialism designations I devised are perfectly sound and unless you can faul...
