Plasma, right, right. They didn't tell me about that stuff until after high school, and it comes up so little in the day to day I'm still lagging a bit internalizing it as an actual state of matter.

Though... I didn't say anything about the sun, per se. I was... perhaps pointedly ignoring them >_>

Anywaay.

Also, yeah, there were some pretty good Seed fics. Say, have you tried ∀ Gundam? It's a strange concept in a lot of ways, but rather good for all that.
Turn A...
Spoiler: I have no idea how much of this is actually spoilers (click to show/hide)

Haven't actually seen any of the anime or read any of the manga but, well. Fanfiction and more than one round of Super Robot Wars. Picked up on a bit, haha.

As for SEED... really, from what I've picked up of the plot, it just has a lot of people in it that could really benefit from a few solid horse kicks to the brainpan. Unfortunately, that seems to include several of the major protagonists :-\

And saying that... I'm saying that after having been watching Gaogaigar over the course of the last week or so. Which includes a main character that constantly forgets he can fly. And a giant robot that fights aliens with the power of rock and roll. Among other things.

Gundam Seed was actually fairly good.  Have you tried RahXephon?  It's an Eva-alike, but it's got some really awesome twists and stuff of its own, and I personally feel like it's a very, very different show (just want to warn you that a lot of rabid fans argue it's a ripoff).
Seed I've seen*... a fair bit of, if not sequentially (and I'm aware of most of the plot/timeline through fanfics, so...). I actually like (some of) the fanfiction** more than I do the actual anime, though, or at least what I've seen of it.

Haven't tried RX, I think. I've heard some middling-decent things about it from semi-trusted sources in the past, but nothing outright bad. Might give it a looksie. That, uh. That's not the (miraculously not explicit, at least the episode or two I struggled through) one with the robots powered by coughorgasmscough***, though, is it? I have (perhaps fortunately) completely forgotten the name of that one.

*Actually, I've seen at least parts of most of the gundam stuff up to the latest couple/more obscure of the series.
**Three million+ word trilogy that's actually fairly readable *flails*
***At least as near as I could tell.

What is funny is that I am referring to a specific anime, yet I could be talking about any anime with a loser lead and female lead.
Just... I'unno. Kinda' reminds me of Mirai Nikki. Least the female part of it. I'm... I'm way behind on anime watching right now. Or manga reading. Except I think the horrific violence on the part of the female lead actually did mess with stuff in MN, so... dunno.

... incidentally, I'm about six episodes from finishing Gaogaigar* (barring the OAVs and... anything else that might exist). Kinda' itching to keep digging around super robot stuff. Any... any suggestions? Beyond, hrm. Gurran Lagan, I guess sorta' Nadesco (however the blazes it's spelled)? Big-O, G-Gundam... don't think escaflowne counted... or Eva, of course. Seen those. Probably some more. I... can't recall what I've watched over the years :-\

*Ridiculously mediocre in a lot of ways (19-20 episodes before any bloody thing happened, hahahaha), but I've been having a lot of fun making horrifically inappropriate comments throughout the whole thing (especially about en/hyuryu and their hilariously placed extensible things)... and rooting for the bad guys.

... multiple monitor support. That's... interesting. Guess technically Terraria could do it too, thinking on it, for all that the comparison probably isn't really a meaningful one to make on stuff like that.

Would maybe raise some interesting PvP questions, hohoho. If certain weapons had long enough range, anyway.

Delightful nostalgia kick. Balance and ruin track, ha. Dunno if it's been posted before... maybe. Either way. It has some umph. Particularly like the part something like 2/3rds to 4/5ths of the way through when it just kinda' laughs and takes the pants off, so to speak.

Thunderin' Jaysus, that's nightmare inducing
It's kinda' nice to get that occasional reminder that reality actually actively hates everything living and wants it to violently explode. There's a reason most* stuff is either dead rock or some sort of gas. Physics hates it and wants it to become a less ordered system.

*So far as I'm aware, anyway.

... might have better luck popping a thread up over in other games. Does look like (one of?) the restoration patches fixes the issue, though, if you're willing to play with whatever those things add in.

... yeah, it's good(?) to have actual confirmation I'm not the only one who thought that. I mean, it was pretty much guaranteed other folks would, too, but... still. It's comforting(?).

Novel, if everyone and their grandmother thinks you're hard to comprehend...

Exactly what i fucking said :D
... for what it's worth, you've never actually typed the word grandmother in any post you've made on B12, at least according to the search function. You've included the word grandmother in two of your posts via quotation, but nothing more than that.

Unless you actually type out the quotes, which. Yeah.

So... not exactly what you said, no.[/pedant]

That's, uh. Backwards from what that quote's saying. It's saying that artists apparently get their start doing covers of other people's songs and uploading. Which would apparently be illegal if the proposal went into effect.

And yeah. That would... that would screw over quite a lot of stuff. Prison time for something like, I'unno, stuff like this is ludicrous on the face of it.

E not o, grak. Don't think teaching is involved with the sentence in question.
