  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. There was a moment during last night's three-episode arc where I wondered to myself if this was the best Star Wars has ever been.
  4. It better be. The Ally X already is. That said, as developers start making ray tracing mandatory the Ally and Ally X are struggling. I can barely get 30fps in AC Shadows with everything on low settings and some pretty aggressive upscaling. The flip side, though, is that with the tariffs and what not I'm feeling like the Ally 2 is going to cost more than $1000, leaving plenty of room for the Steam Deck to sell to people who just don't want to pay that much for a handheld.
  5. I get your points on the Lego building. They have been mostly facades in my childhood too (see 6080 or 6392). And I get that you can easily modify the sets because of the basic nature of Lego blocks. However, with this train station it looks like this is even easier. Just buy three and bush them together like books on a shelf and you have a whole building (of course it is not so easy see for example the elevator). Rant: I also find it difficult to modify current Lego sets with other pieces from current Lego sets. For one thing, they are build with contrast pieces inside that makes building them easier (supposedly). Your bright teal and pink comes to mind. Then you have too many colors nowadays. I was trying to rebuild the Minecraft turtle house and I had three slightly different shades of green to distinguish and sort out. You also have too many different pieces so you are trying to find what you need in a see of greeble. This makes it all in all more difficult to build something on your own. Compared to the 80s where you had a limited palette both in colors and pieces (my child mind was blown discovering a brown Lego piece in my first Pirates set). With the Arctic sets I enjoy them from afar. I didn’t mean to imply that only kids can enjoy them but rather that Lego designed something that my kid self would enjoy. Nowadays my Lego collection is fairly limited to basically Minifig scaled OT Star Wars vessels. My budget (mostly time and display space) is limited so I have to pick and choose what I collect and not just buy what I think looks neat.
  6. I just bought this for an incredibly good price on Mandarake (~$380 shipped); when I receive it I'll be sure to share photos and thoughts on it. Very few reviews in any language on this figure so far.
  7. Looks pretty basic, but I did laugh at the struggle with the phone
  8. I don’t hate the Dom, but the third leg is definitely weird. It’s probably the only thing I really don’t like on it, but there’s already better Dom kits out there. Kinda like the big kneecaps though
  9. The milliput looked like crap and I would say it was unsuccessful. So I figured addition by subtraction will work better. I don’t own a micro saw or whatever so I used a big old hacksaw to cut off the rear. You make do with what you got. It was a mess but I rebuilt it with a few pieces of .5 mm pla to make up for all the material I lost in sawing, reattached both halves and I think it worked out great. In doing so I created a panel line that I was going to scribe in anyways.
  10. Ruh Roh... I'll definitely be looking when I pull mine out for the Tread review!
  11. 😆 just a glitch or it really hates flies. Got a good chuckle, thanks! The Fly Chair. I was imagining this with circus music playing instead of the overly dramatic music they supplied. Try it- it's good for a giggle. From a practical standpoint, I wonder what kind of fuel capacity, service ceiling, and range this thing has. I'm guessing it can't go much higher which would greatly limit its use for any kind of S&R work or recon. Moreover, it's only a single-seater, so rescue's out of the question. Much like Corleo, its cool factor overshadows its practicality.
  12. Do you have a picture where it's located?
