Teashader sunglasses and an amphetamine-fueled grin? Nothing more 90s than trying to be Natural Born Killers for marketing

So, is this a “Last Starfighter” kinda deal or what’s up?

This. I can fumble around with physical switches while inverted in a negative 4g dive and still change the station off of Chappell Roan. You can’t do that with capacitive touch, especially the ones that get hot and all the heuristics get goofy.

I believe Ikki is the original “kuso-ge,” so be forewarned.

To clarify, this is the AFQT which is a seperate subtest from the ASVAB and specifically for USAF service that you actually have to put a modicum of effort into, but for the good jobs — and by good I mean interesting, stimulating and potentially lucrative as a civvie — no. 30 won’t get you into special operations, specialized maintenance/aircrew, or the good “chair force” jobs like combat engineering, space, medical, scientific support, cyber, weather…etc. It’s also probably going to ding you for officer or hinder the climb to higher NCO, which is similarly equivalent to warrant officer in other services.

No, it’s going to be stuff like “light vehicle driver,” or “airport maintenance” where you ride around in the bed of a pickup and shoot a shotgun in the air to scare off birds. It used to not even qualify you to be a cop it’s so low.

I can’t help but picture this being the size of a cinder block, like something tied to the gas station bathroom door’s key.

Your library of self-made notebooks were the pelts on the wall of your past game conquests.

Yes! The Harvard Family Health Guide or the American College of Physicians Home Medical Guide! And my dad always bought every new edition of the Green Beret Medical Handbook!

Books, sketchpads, knitting or some other portable craft, table games like flick football and pocket chess, crystal radios. Plenty to do to pass time. There’s nothing on my phone that’s new.

“Crystal Triangle.” Japanese Indiana Jones has to fight off the world’s governments and the cabal-of-Jews-that-control-everything to capture the 11th Commandment from God in his spaceship. So terrible it has to be seen to be believed, just stick around for God.

For a great lesser know Columbo-style mystery, “They Were Eleven.” The ten most intelligent and talented students from ten solar systems in a hyper-meritocratic galactic civilization have to solve who the mole is in their class (which contains an unheard of eleventh person) before graduating from the academy and assuming their role in space government.

I enjoyed “Giant Gorg” recently, like Scooby Doo meets Johnny Quest with a robot. Also, “Black Jack” is a classic.

My wife loves the “Five Star Stories” OVA and “Legend of the Galactic Heroes,” and “Record of Lodoss War,” thought the last two are probably pretty well known.

Beer can missile!

If you can choke down Macross/Gundam you should try on Dunbine, Orguss, Xabungle and Megazone 23.
