    That's a good deal, given the current climate. I've been seeing end-of year deals expiring sometime in January. Prices are expected jump in February thru March so anyone looking for a deal may want to move on it. There's rumors going around that some vendors may be going BYOR (Buy Your Own RAM) if supply chains worsen.

    That's a pressing issue at the moment 😓

    Yeah, that was the pretense behind which LEGO shielded themselves from a potential serious endemic issue with gear failures. Instead of canceling the set outright, I wish they'd admitted the issue, put the set on hiatus to fix the issue, and released it. A bunch of lucky reviewers and LEGO ambassadors got the set for free. It quickly became sought after and the prices exorbitant.

    Dang, I'd like that as a desktop at this point... (with how the GPU and RAM market is going, buying a prebuilt seems like the better option more than ever, detestable as it seems at times to tinkerers/builders like me)

    The first thing I'm doing tomorrow is going to the LEGO store and hopefully pick up that mini AT-AT and Speed Champions Back to the Future DeLorean set.

    I liked it.

    The ending was as good as it could be based on how things were going during this final season.....I'm good with it... They left it open to interpretation...Stranger Things: The Movie
  14. Big s
    Yeah, I kinda figured it would be the entertaining pick right now
  15. Radioguy
    All you need are those scaled destroids and valks now.

    Awesome! Now the big question for those of us living in Japan: where are you going to put it?!? 😅

    Wasn't the "no current military" stance the smoke screen for faulty technic gears in that V-22?

    Nice! He wasn't even on my radar until the Galaxy Explorer. Full agreement!

    An uninspired attempt to coin a derisive nickname for isekai anime. It doesn't make sense if you think about it even a little, because TRON's "Grid" is just the software inside of a computer not an alternate reality and doesn't fit the definition of isekai even a little. Incidentally, I did a little more checking after supper. Of Crunchyroll's current Top 10 most-streamed titles on their service, the 5th and 9th places are isekai titles (Campfire Cooking in Another World and Tales of Wedding Rings). The top four spots on the top 10 are all shounen, being held by My Hero Academia, Gachiakuta, One Piece, and Tougen Anki. Top-selling manga is also predominantly shounen too... with My Hero Academia, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dan Da Dan topping charts in the west. Netflix's viewership metrics have shounen anime absolutely dominating their service's anime offerings too. The top-ranked anime title for I think three years running now on Netflix is Naruto. One Piece, Seven Deadly Sins, and Demon Slayer are all on that list too. Not a single isekai title broke the top 10 on Netflix. I'm not able to find any data for Hulu, but given the pattern established thus far... well... their website has a list of 22 strongly recommended anime titles based on their platform's streaming performance data. 0 are isekai. The titles that DID make the cut include Bleach, My Hero Academia, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Jujutsu Kaisen, Ishura, Mob Psycho 100, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Demon Slayer. That's 9 of 22.

    Not bad, nearly $1000 less than I paid 10 months ago. And with NAND chip prices going bananas I doubt you could build a PC that cheap right now with those parts.

    Saw ANACONDA for New Year's date night. It was fun and entertaining which was my expectation. Paul Rudd and Jack Black have great chemistry so its a recommended film.

    Well, there is a youtube channel by the name - but a quick look at it seems like it is simply every anime they could get their hands on.

    Part 2 was pretty bad. This finale better knock my freaking socks off in the next hour or so help me, I don't even care if Terminator Zero Season 2 comes out, I won't ever touch netflix again.

    The point is that shounen's dominance of the anime conversation and public perception of anime goes all the way back to when the current crop of child-raising parents (Gen X-ers and Millennials) were exposed to the stuff via cable. Yeah, most anime is streaming these days but the reality is that if you go to most streaming services that carry anime most of what they're advertising prominently is not isekai... it's those big-ticket shounen titles like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and My Hero Academia and a handful of dramas and non-isekai titles like Frieren, Spy x Family, and Oshi no Ko. Demonstrably false, I'm afraid. Most of what viewers are tuning in for when it comes to anime on streaming is shounen anime. It dominates the awards, it dominates the news, and it's also the stereotype of anime fans that's been dominant since the 2000s.
