My first hurricane!
It’s 5:37 am as I type this out. Just got awoken by my phone’s hurricane alert. Luckily I live on Oahu, so I don’t get the worst of the storm.
Safety wise, I am fine. The only effects here seem to be a loss of power. Hoping that everyone on the Big Island is doing well.

How long does it usually take for Blokees kits to come to amazon?
I live in Hawaii, and Blokees doesn't ship here. I don't want to buy the kit (along with Eva un it 00 movie ver.) from another site because of price differences and shipping costs. If anyone has been into model kit building and knows if it usually takes a certain amount of time, let me know. Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know the origin of this art?
I've been using it as my PC background for as long as I can remember, but I found it on my phone, so the quality isn't great. I found it on reddit, but after searching for the post for a while, I couldn't find it. Can anyone share the link of the original post? Thanks in advance.
I kinda hate these raids
The timer changing for no reason is super frustrating, and I finally lost a shiny to it. There was plenty of time left, then the time cuts down super short, then the raid abruptly ends. So annoying.
I assume that there’s something that makes the timer shorten, but I don’t play this game too often so I don’t really know how these raids work aside from attacking over and over again.
What a fun read this was

At least 1000 vbucks missing from my account
At some point in the last week, I lost around 1000 vbucks from my account. I haven’t made a purchase in a long time, and I’m only signed in on two devices (phone and computer). I’ve never had any suspicious activity on my account. Or gave my login info to another person or any site that isn’t Epic Games.
Interestingly, a month or so ago, I also lost 17-1800 CoD points. The two incidents being linked could be a factor.
My purchase history doesn’t show any new purchases. Although, the page is bugged, showing purchases I made in 2021 despite me not even having an Epic account until late 2022.
I don’t think the issue is a hacker in my account, because I feel like they would have compromised it if they had access, not randomly spend over 1000 (on nothing). So the only other conclusion is a possible bug.
If there’s any other info I can give to help narrow down the cause, let me know. I’ll contact support in the meantime.
Literally no clue what I did but okay
Woke up to this, and I’m a little confused. Here’s what I think might have happened.
The day before, I was playing a red vs blue map with my friend, and we were on opposite teams. Randomly, a player on my team calls him gay and a femboy out of nowhere. I defend him, and I get called his “dominant”. A little bit more goes on, but it’s basically this random person crying that they keep dying to my friend.
Me and my friend communicate via party chat, since he doesn’t have a phone. I don’t usually swear much on open mic, but it happens and I’m never chat banned from it. What might have happened is that I called this player homophobic, and it got censored. That, or the player mass reported me.
Is there a way to get this undone? I’d like to be able to talk to my friends
Edit: Sent an appeal for the ban, hoping something comes out of it.
Also important to note that I never even received a warning, just straight into a comm ban
Edit 2: Nothing came out of it. Appeal went straight into the trash can, and I highly doubt a real human being looked at it.
Tried to make an Eva out of Legos
Second pic is the Prog Knife (or an attempt at it), pics 3-5 are my unique gun for the Eva, pics 6-7 are the Positron Cannon style of the gun. Pics 8-10 show the entry plug and hatch, and the last picture shows a few styles of the entry plug.
Are there any reputable sites where I can buy the RG model kits of units 00, 01, 02, and 08?
So far, I’ve seen them on Hobby Link Japan, but they’re sold out. On amazon, they’re selling for much more than the original pricing. I found one listing of unit 08 for $200, and most other sites I look at have the others around $60. The best site I’ve seen so far is “gundam place”, but the added $35 for shipping here to Hawaii is a decent amount extra. USA Gundam Store has Unit 00 and 01 in stock, but not unit 02 and 08.
I’m deciding between choosing the Blokees of Bandai ones. I’m completely new to model kit building, but I have experience in related areas like Technic, so I doubt I’d struggle. My main thing is having everything box-ready, no need to do any other kinds of detailing like painting parts. That’s the main reason I’ve looked at these two versions.
I’m probably pretty late into the game, so I doubt there are many sites that I haven’t found yet which offer normal ~$50 pricing with lower shipping costs.
I’ve been having issues launching the game for the entire time I’ve owned the game now. At this point, I can’t even properly open the game. It just goes into a black screen and I have to fully shut down and restart my pc to get the display working again. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times, I’ve scan and repaired files several times, and I just don’t know what to do at this point. I’ve tried a ton of other things too. Is there anything that can help me?
