Pro tip for the Xbox controller, you can just plug it in with a usb-C cable and use it without batteries! Since you’ll be using it w a pc this could be a good solution 👍

I’m glad you mentioned the therapeutic value of model building. It’s one of those things that you can get engrossed in and your mind switches off from day to day concerns for an hour or two. I’ve recently started paint by numbers which has a similar effect. It’s an overlooked benefit of videogames too. Also, don’t worry, you’re not the first person who needed alcohol to get through a build 😄

I just find a lot of joy watching your videos - I guess because your own enjoyment seems to come through no matter what you're sharing about, even if it's something that you might have not as many good things to talk about. I picked up the PC port for the first Valkyria Chronicles when it came out and really loved it. I might have to do another playthrough on it, because if things keep going the way they are, I'm looking to be on a no-buy year instead of a low-buy. Good thing I've got a backlog to playthrough (which I'm still inputting into your handy spreadsheet). And it's cool that you like Robin. I love all of the main crew, but after Water 7/Enies Lobby she just really rose to the top for me.

This is a super fun video. I would love to see a Valkyria Chronicles Collection physical release that has the main 4 games together. Since we never got 3 its about time! The Serenity Forge tea cup set is a nice touch, really nice of them to show you and others some love for helping them out. Nights of Azure 2 for PS4 was the right move as the Switch release runs awful so good call there. Those kits are so cool, going to look into those too!

I love Valkyria Chronicles! I would suggest playing them in order, but maybe skip 2, it's not bad but nowhere near the quality of 1, 3, and 4. The stories are mostly self contained so you don't miss much by playing them in any order you want, though 😊

Agreed. I did play Plume for the ds first before getting into Lenneth & I loved knowing the actions of the Valkyrie before knowing the Valkyrie herself - it was a more dynamic way to get into the world of Valkyrie Profile imo. I also know the ds has multiple endings so beginning there first then Lenneth means you can swing back around for a satisfying game saga😊

Nice pickups! It's always fun to see what people collect beyond games too. You pulling out the Gundam models reminded me of one of the dumbest little knick knacks I have, a 1/25 scale model of a telephone pole that I got from a gachapon in Japan lolol. I have it taped to my desk atm, it's very silly and I love it And since you mentioned Gust, I was actually wondering if you've ever tried either of the Blue Reflection games? I've only played the demo of 2 but I thought it was really neat and something I've been meaning to get around to finishing. I actually didn't even know it was Gust at first, but I was impressed with how polished it was and it all made sense when I realized they were the dev. Atelier is less my aesthetic, but Blue Reflection has a cool, kinda surreal and ethereal tone to it crossed with pretty flashy magical girl adjacent stuff. It's a nice change of pace from the more traditional fantasy stuff they usually do.

Robin’s my favorite Strawhat too, and I agree with you on the struggles of finding a good Robin figure that isn’t questionable. With Bandai making figures of the pre-timeskip One Piece designs (starting with Luffy and Nami), I really hope we get a cool pre-timeskip Figuarts Nico Robin.

I've heard some modelers use #2000 sanding stick instead of topcoat to give their model kits a matt finish. They are also quite cheap. I haven't tried it myself but I do think it is a good substitute for topcoat especially when you don't have tools and space for painting. But for Divine Knights kits from Trails maybe #8000+ is a better choice to give them a glossy finish instead of matt.

I don't usually go for the big ones like Emily showed off in her video, I mostly build smaller HG models, BUT the biggest one I have and love is the MG Endless Waltz Tallgeese. I typically go for the less flashy sets overall and my other HG favorites that I built are probably the Cosmic era Dagger L, Gundam 0083 GM Type C, and the MS Leo, but I can also recommend anything from the Iron Blooded Orphans line, those all look cool and I have a good amount of G Gundam ones too; Burning Gundam, Shining Finger, and Nobell are all great ones imo.

@@orbalology If I could offer a suggestion? If you are looking for just one figure to represent the Straw Hats, I think you could never go wrong with Luffy himself. Luckily there's no shortage of figures for him. Since you have the pre-time skip Robin, I think the One Piece - Monkey D. Luffy - Portrait Of Pirates Neo - Excellent Model might be a good choice. Solaris Japan has him pretty cheap too.

It’s cool that you are getting all these free stuff from companies. You’ve come a long way from being a small KZfaqr. Are you watching One Piece the anime? I don’t know if I can start now. It’s too late for me to catch up. I really enjoyed the live action Netflix show though

I started a few years back in grad school, so I even though I was years behind too at that point it was a lot of fun slowly catching up! I recommend it especially after enjoying the live action :)

The highlights of the video are definitely Valimar and Ordine; they are insanely cool. I've only played Sky 1 and Cold Steel 1 and 2, so I don't have a favorite yet based on the games or pilots, but from what I saw in your video, Ordine is great with a fierce arachnid resemblance, and the color is vibrant, but somehow it made it look more like a toy. Valimar, on the other hand, looks so badass with the huge katana, the silver & gold color, and even some wear (I don't know if it is the paint job or it came looking that way) that made it look battered from battle; it adds personality to an already wicked model.

@orbalology 4 ай бұрын

Some of the wear is from the black panel line marker I was using! I liked how that turned out but there are areas that can be majorly improved so hoping it won't take me too much longer to apply that same effect consistently on both models.

Great pickups. Oh nice I have that Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on PSP. Have the first Nights of Azure, still need to get the 2nd one. Oh yeah about Xbox first party games going multi-platform, like Starfield, Hi-FI Rush, Gears of War,etc. I'm guessing Xbox might be leaving the console market..will have to wait and see when Microsoft makes the announcement. I don't really get the Limited release games..cause like you I got so many. Cool model kits..never got into them, but they do look fun. I have a few One Piece figures and Nami is my fav. Thanks for sharing.

If you're still looking for a good way to tackle the VC series, might I suggest playing the original first followed by VC 3, and VC 4. Then lastly VC 2. VC 3, the unicorn of the series, will need a fan translation download. Unless you can read kanji.

I'm on low buy too, Emily, but in 2024 I've already picked up three Switch games: The Princess Guide, Fate/Samurai Remnant and Aokana 😬 I don't usually play VN on Switch, but yeah, I guess it was an impulse buying 😅 Thank you for sharing, Emily 😚

Great pickups video!! I will only pick up FF7 Rebirth this month. March is going to be packed for me because I will be picking up Unicorn Overlord, Rise of the Ronin and Dragon's Dogma 2. I can relate to the "no shelf space" situation. My Valamir is still in the box 😢. It will be my first model kit so I'm excited when I eventually get to it. My goal with the One Piece figures is to have at least one figure of each Straw Hat crew member. I'm just missing half the crew. On the Falcom side, I'm waiting for the Estelle figure and eventually the Joshua figure (I need both them).

@arfanik9827 4 ай бұрын

I would love to have a figure of all the straw hats too (and Law because I adore him lol). Maybe someday I'll make that happen, but it's tricky trying to find the right line of figures because they all have varying heights and aesthetics.

Im new to your channel. Love the videos you make. I love gaming and have been trying like crazy to get my wife into it. She is worried about eye hand coordination. Any advice for me?

@orbalology 4 ай бұрын

By worried about eye hand coordination, do you mean she has concerns that she may not be able to play many games because of poor hand eye coordination or something else? I guess my advice is to look into games that don't emphasize those aspects of gameplay. So something that is turned based if she wants to try RPGs, or look into some visual novels or other games that allow players to take their time to input the commands/buttons :)

if you're building a gaming PC, I encourage you to keep up with some of the news for this year's hardware releases. Zen 5 from AMD is a big development in CPUs and it's probably a good pickup, but it might be several months until they're out. And nVIDIA's rtx 5000 series is on the horizon. Maybe you're going for the latest and greatest or maybe you're not, but I think it's good to know before making a purchase, since prices could be affected and performance as well as price per performance ratio should be considered circa the release date. I've waited years for this year's hardware, so just be informed!

I believe MS is stuck in a long lasting deal going back to the Xbox 360 with Duracell so they still have to use AA batteries in their controllers.

@@orbalology I bought 8 AA's and a 4 AA charger so I keep 4 on the charger at all times and the other 4 AAs are in 2 of my 6 Xbox controllers. I also use them in my 360 controllers as well... Also make sure you get the Xbox USB receiver. It allows up to 4 controllers at one time on PC but if you use Bluetooth, you are limited to one. I never got BT working well on a controller.
