"Wanna shit" is a bit of an understatement for what happens, but yeah, just take a 9000 unit lactase pill every 30 minutes while consuming it and you'll be fine. Or maybe two pills if you're eating a LOT of cheese.

Oh I know, I'm talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I'm sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I'll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it's an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.

Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that's made its way into my apartment. Usually someone's beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.

It really is, I'm just nitpicking when I point out things that could be done better. I'm stoked about this series and have been recommending it to all my simracing teammates.

I really need to check out The Apothecary Diaries. I keep hearing good things.

Well I'd imagine a lot of F1 fans in their early 30s grew up watching Gundam Wing and Seed, so this might be big nostalgia bait. And they're definitely trying to grow Gundam's popularity in the US, what with the latest series being free on YouTube and all.

And if Yuki is Amuro in this crossover, his car is gonna get incredibly damaged this race because of some reckless driving, but he'll still somehow end up finishing in the points (I'd say a win, but let's be a tad realistic here).

Alright this was my favorite episode yet. I love Suzuka so seeing it accurately represented was great. As for the racing accuracy, everything they were saying was correct, but the visual depiction of wet weather tires vs slicks was pretty lacking.

If the track was really that wet at the start of the race, that 3rd place car on wets should have easily gotten past the two Belsorisso drivers. Like, maybe even before the esses. Having them all stay in line for the entire first lap was a little immersion breaking. When it's wet out you tend to get drivers going all over the track hunting for any extra grip they can find, and drivers on slicks will be spinning their rears on corner exit constantly.

That said, everything else was great. I loved the detail about drivers on wets pulling off the line to cool their tires in the wet parts of the track.

The story this episode was great. I like that Kouya's trauma wasn't so easy to overcome and that he still has a lot to work through. And for some fun trivia, it's fitting that the episode after they talk about Hunt and Lauda, Haruka retires from a wet weather race. In the 1976 season's final race, Lauda retired from the Japanese GP because of how terrible the weather was, giving Hunt the championship.

Can't wait to see where we go with this next week!

I've always liked Gundam, but I never really got into it until earlier this year when I watched the original series. So I'm absolutely loving this collaboration.

The model kits (gunpla) are super fun to build, I highly recommend picking up a cheap ($10-$30) high grade kit if you're remotely curious about it. Just get a pair of cutters and you're all set to build it.

Also, the fact that they aren't selling that AT branded kit is criminal. I'm gonna have to try and paint my own now I guess.

Well now I need a 15 volume light novel series based on this. That was great.

I'm guessing the original post was prime numbers and this was just slapped together.

The new character designs are much closer to the original designs from the light novel. She's supposed to look fairly young. Iirc she's described as looking like a teenager.

Can't wait for this. The animation looks pretty good, I was worried about that after watching A Returner's Magic Should Be Special this season.
