@Razorwing: How can there be a second season? I hope not to be honest. I read that others found it rushed as well but it was to be expected IMO.

I hope that they're going to work on either a new series with less childish characters and more details in everything or work on Gundam: The Origin. If you compare old Gundam series to Gundam AGE you'll see that they dumped everything down which is a shame to be honest. I hope that the next series will be a bit more mature like the UC series.

I think 00's one of the few that were really on point. What they really need to do is bring out an English version of ZZ Gundam. :)

What do you mean with on point? ZZ is an alright series but don't expect it to be of the same quality as Zeta Gundam. Which might as well be the reason why there's not an English version of it. The Japanese version is great on it's own anyways.

True, though the 1st season was probably still the best though the art and whatnot in the 2nd season was way better than in the 1st season. Nothing beats Zeta Gundam in my book though :p It's a proper Gundam series with great character development, great/strong characters, great art, great animation, great fights. And the most important of all; a great story.

I definitely feel you there. :D I plan on watching Zeta all over again. I'm in love with the intro song. :)

^The whole OST is pretty awesome. If you want to rewatch it, and haven't seen it, you might want to rewatch it be watching "A New Translation". It has a alternative ending which made fans more happy about the series. There are also other things that they've altered and added. And the new scenes that they've added are gorgeous and I really hope it's the style that they'll be using for Gundam: The Origin. It's kind of the same style as Gundam Unicorn, but not exactly the same. It still has that "Zeta" feel to it.

"A New Translation" also comes with new OP and ED songs which all fit the titles of the 3 movies.

I heard about the alternation since I watched Zeta on the Anime channel. I didn't actually know about the movies unless mentioned in the list of Gundam series on Wiki. Actually, I think i did, but it was a side story to the first Gundam Series before the Titans existed. Yea! I think that's it!

^What? "A New Translation" is just a retelling of the original Zeta series which are split up into 3 movies. It has nothing to do with the first series. I also have no idea what list and what sidestory you are talking about :p

The original series have been condenced into 3 movies as well in which they altered a few things. Tomino made the Gundam RX-78-2 look less like a super robot like he inteded to do with the original series. Hayato was also given a new different kind of Guntank in the Jaburo base. There have also been other alterations.

      Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.

      Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
