    Right here.✋ So much. What a stupid idea, making The Machine of Inexorable Horror into a kid-friendly action buddy. There is one Terminator movie. Everything else is just swamp gas or a mirage or something.

    Almost there. I am absolutely plagued with dust and crap appearing on this builds painted surface. It’s even more evident since it’s going to be so glossy. Total bummer but I’m not going to repaint this. I just want to move it along and make sure to clean the spray booth big time. I have been totally neglecting it. 🥺

    $20 an hour sounds like a lot, but we're talking about downtown Los Angeles where cost of living is sky high.

    I recognise that, and it's great for those residing in the US. I'm in Singapore, and Anderson offers free shipping which pretty much works out to be the same compared to Zica with shipping. Anyway, it is a pretty hefty price tag nonetheless.

    I continue to be amazed at the tech and mecha of Macross Zero. Wonder what Roy and Shin could have done if their VF-0’s were sporting some FF-1999’s that they used in the space proving VF-0 for space trials. Twich

    The predator species is far more technologically advanced than humanity and clearly consider us nothing more than dangerous game. The ones who have to prove themselves would be the humans - and learn the predator language. The predators probably have computers translate everything for them just like we are very close to having now.

    Yes actually. I try not to think about it, but even the second one had some super goofy moments. The first movie was simple and great an no other Superman movie can match it, but the memory of just flinging his s to wrap people up or flying in the opposite direction to turn back time or that weird thing he did with the damn sorta make it tough for me to watch the original film and enjoy it the same way before stupid really started taking over.

    The chief in the second movie actually understood the phrase he was using. It didn’t mean he totally understands English, but he seems to understand the phrase and how it’s used when he hands over the pistol. I kinda doubt he learned that in distress. It shows they probably picked up a bit of the language and may understand more than what’s even shown in the movies. So it seems that they may actually care a little about what humans are saying beyond the words used when humans are in trouble or just as a lure

    Definitely looks better than the stupid pumpkin faces

    I probably won’t ever watch the show and I don’t know the specifics on the apartment, but I do know a barista in L.A. might actually pull in a good chunk of change. Minimum wage there is $20 and there’s a possibility she may make more than that hourly. Downtown L.A. it’s probably getting her close to handling 10 customers an hour while it’s slow and people at coffee shops are usually more generous than for pizza delivery, so that might be at least another $20 bucks an hour and possibly quite a bit more when it’s busy and although you’re supposed to report tips on the taxes, nobody really does or at least nowhere near the proper amount. She might be pulling in $40 to $60 an hour on average and it’s possible that she’s pulling in $80 an hour depending on how busy the place really is and how many other workers she’s splitting customers with. It definitely would be more realistic if she’s sharing the rent though, but if she’s not spending her money on stupidity, she may be able to put a big chunk of change to the rent if she’s a full timer.

    I didn't, but I built a Batocera system for my friend maybe a year and a half ago. I loved it, been meaning to build one for myself but I wanted enough power to play PS2.

    Got a bit bored after taking down the Halloween decorations and decided to do some number-crunching on one of the data gaps on the VF-0. Specifically, the Mauler RoV-15 anti-aircraft/anti-missile laser cannon(s). Macross official setting materials don't really have anything to say about how powerful the cannons are, only that they were a replacement for a previously-intended machine gun. The VF-0 Master File book benchmarks the performance of the Rov-15 against Mauser's BK-27 revolver cannon. The BK-27's a German 27mm revolver cannon made for surface-to-air and air-to-air use. It's good for 1,000-1,700 rounds per minute and the 27mm mine rounds it uses have a muzzle energy of a hair over 157kJ. Since the performance of the RoV-15's said to be almost exactly the same, we can use that as a benchmark. (157kJ*1000rpm)/60sec = 2,621kJ/sec or approximately 2.6MW. The energy-on-target is probably a fair bit lower, but when all's said and done it suggests the VF-0's capacitor-driven RoV-15 is around 1/2 the output of the VF-1's production-intent RoV-20. Pretty darn impressive considering the generator supporting it is a pair of overtuned turbofan jet engines. Even if it needs 30s to recharge for every 3s spent firing, a 2,000kW+ class output is insane for the time period and power source.

    Anybody catch the Batocera 42 anouncement? Also the trailer music... 🙂

    One of my favorites too!!

    Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! was so cute today, The craziness that Alma and Makina get into is epic.

    There’s a way to make the HUD lines less obvious: 1) use rubbing alcohol to remove the silver paint on the INSIDE of the visor. 2) paint outside of the visor with Tamiya clears (color of your choice and smoke paint). 3) the more Tamiya smoke you apply, the less the visor will be translucent. I kinda got better with each attempt:

    They clearly understand Humans are intelligent... but that doesn't necessarily mean they understand English or even care to. Most animals make a variety of noises for communication and with contextual clues a Human can easily tell the calls of a distressed animal from an aggressive one from a hungry one and so on. We make fishing lures that are designed to imitate the movements and sounds of injured prey, we make duck calls designed to imitate the sounds of the mating calls and feeding calls of various duck species. If Humans can figure that out for tons of different animal species on our own planet, a spacefaring species like the Preds can definitely figure out the context behind the sounds we make without needing to actually understand the language and imitate them the same way we do.

    So the nest part of the Lego "Build The Most Detailed Hogwarts Castle" will be 76463 Hospital Wing wich attaches to the back of the Main Tower

    The Banished Court Magician is still drunkenly stumbling through all the usual "Kicked out of my party but it's OK because I'm godly powerful" story beats. I have to wonder where it's going, because it's already doing the "humbling the jerk who kicked the protagonist out" part and it's not even halfway into the season. Normally that's for the end of the first major multi-volume story arc.

    @captain america had a Sentinel improvement kit with additional weapons and face shields without the pattern.

    Or for that fact: Terminator and T2.

    Since a similar scale plastic model goes for $100 these days that is not bad. Not enough room to store it sadly or I would be tempted.
  27. Big s
    Yeah, I didn’t realize until the rewatch that they were picking up English, even though in the first it was mainly hunting Spanish speakers. The chief in the second kinda surprised me there and I guess in a few more decades, maybe they could learn to have a basic conversation

    If anyone here has made custom, translucent, face shields for their Sentinel ride armors - can you please post pics & details again?
