The computer and electronics super geek thread
kajnrig replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm curious. People have been generally bemused by the Ryzen Max processors - those "mega APUs" with 4060-ish graphics and up to 128gb RAM - because of their high prices. Now that DRAM prices are jumping up, how do those devices compare now? For instance, a top-spec Framework Desktop (16 cores, 40-CU GPU, 128GB RAM) can be had for about $2000 + $storage. Are they still overpriced for what they are, or are they relatively more of a deal now? - Today

You should transform it once and leave it forever in battroid to take advantage of it's strengths.

Getting closer to completing one leg. Thicker, rounder, more shapely thigh: Whole leg: Still a little bit of putty and sanding to do, but getting closer.

Everything, everywhere, all at once....I'll definitely keep watching if they make more seasons....dang HBO keeps coming out with shows I actualy want to watch.....basterds! -
I've never transformed mine, and I won't. Can't be bothered, and this stuff makes me more paranoid to try.

Honestly? The 5000 is niche enough that they should release the M7 version, then release an Assembly Kit version. It should be cheaper for them since they don't have to pay for assembly and paint, and the hard-core fan would get the scheme they want.

Street Fighter - in theaters October 16th, 2026
kajnrig replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
What is with that music? Oh I dunno, the aforementioned anime movie was played pretty much completely straight and managed to be a banger. SF2V is a fun little alternate universe romp, but I find I just lose interest by the halfway mark every single time I try to watch it. And whereas the movie had a major influence on the franchise going forward - establishing Sagat's shoryuken-derived scar, the lightning storm meadow as a recurring stage, Bison's entire design, etc. - basically nothing the show does has any lasting impact. It's no real fault of the show's - it can't help its being made alongside the similarly-intentioned Zero/Alpha series - but still.- 45 replies

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Oof... this season has just been an absolute mess for me. Mechanical Marie, Isekai Quartet, My Awkward Senpai, and Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! have remained pretty enjoyable. May I Ask for One Final Thing? is my stand-out for the season. Scarlett is just a delight to behold. It's not often in this sort of series that the main character actually takes direct action instead of working through proxies, and Scarlett is the type to say that she knows violence isn't the answer and that she got it wrong on purpose. It's a huge breath of fresh air in the stale as hell villainess genre. Tales of Wedding Rings, The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess, A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace, Lil' Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right, Let This Grieving Soul Retire, The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest, My Friend's Little Sister Has It In For Me!, and Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota are all just kind of white noise. They aren't terrible but they are so underdeveloped and one-dimensional that it's hard to pay attention to them for any length of time because there's just nothing engaging going on. (A truly ironic statement when that first title involves a man who gets superpowers from polygamy!) Let's Play never stopped being an audiovisual trashfire in the key of "Ally McBeal but Anime". This series is all bad, all the time, to the point that it's somewhat worrying. It's one of those cases where someone's creative vision clearly needed corrective lenses, or maybe a cane and a seeing eye dog. The only reason I'm still watching Solo Camping for Two is bile fascination. It's like the Hindenburg disaster of hobby edutainment. It is almost Springtime for H****r levels of Doing It Wrong when it comes to trying to present camping as a fun, interesting, and enriching hobby. Its own author seems to be unable to conceptualize any aspect of "camping out" apart from pitching a tent and day drinking. The picture it paints is that camping is a hobby for low-functioning alcoholics and misanthropic loners only, and the main girl seems to only be there so Gen has someone to dispense product placements to and so he won't feel so much like a future serial killer. A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai apparently decided to engage in some Rian Johnson-esque "subvert expectations" partway into its run and is now being really obnoxious with it. So not only did we have that amazing hot take on elves, the quest to find Brolite's sister that underpinned this entire story arc ends with the two of them brawling because... actually... why are they brawling? I think it's just because the writer thought it'd be funny. It's not, but bless 'em they're at least trying now. -
I wonder if they and Bandai would ever consider a partnership. Bandai obviously has the finances, and Arcadia has the passion for Macross. If Bandai absorbed them and let them do what they do, that'd be a win for everyone. I appreciate that they were a nice bit of competition for Bandai, but with their offerings coming at a glacial pace these days, I'd prefer to see them come under Bandai's umbrella rather than their becoming insolvent and merely remaining one of the greatest footnotes in Macross toy history. One way or the other, I hope they find a way to produce the VF-5000. I'd rather have the VF-500B in M+ game colors over the G's teal and yellow, but I'd rather have a VF-5000 toy than not, and since Arcadia has had the design lying around since about 2022, they've had plenty of time to tweak it so that if the means to produce it come about, it should be a well-studied design by this point. But I'd also be happy if they licensed or outright sold the design to Bandai; if nothing else, I'd love to have it in HMR scale.

@jvmacross From one of the producers: In an interview with Radio TU, Muschietti revealed that “season 1 is 1962, season two is 1935, and season three is 1908.” Each era is drawn from the original novel’s interludes, which chronicle an investigation by Mike Hanlon (Will Hanlon’s future son) into Derry’s gruesome past and the three major events linked to It. -
I think you have it backward, the Legioss should be resized to the HAND!

Wild ending, but felt they tied up all if not most loose ends.... Felt like if they did not make any additional seasons, the story would be just fine as a one-shot prequel story.... -
