    nice read: quote Kimura: In the midst of all this, I came up with a rather spontaneous idea: if we shortened the nose of the DX Chogokin VF-171EX, we could create something similar to the VF-17.

    https://hjweb.jp/article/2520977/ Article on Hobby japan discussing the design proces behind the DX VF-17 It's a conversation between bandai and Motoki Hiroyuki from the design studio T-rex.

    Seto, I have a question about this, but it's a bit complicated to set up (and I'm probably overcomplicating it). Here goes... We've seen the Macross(SDF-1) in SDFM fold from a planet's surface to space and seen the Macross 7 fleet fold off of "Lux"/ "Rax" (saw both used for the planet's name) in Macross 7 Ep 38. In SFDM, it took Macross Island and part of the atmosphere/ ocean with them, while in M7, the planet was breaking up due to Gigile's "black space/ void" powers (so not sure if folding out did anything to the planet or the ship). But I've never seen in the series' for any of the Macross shows (admittedly I haven't seen every single episode of every single series) the consequences of a craft/ ship folding into a planet's atmosphere/ gravity well, and I think I missed the episodes with Operation Stargazer in them for M7. In Macross Plus, both Isamu and Guld apparently fold to just outside Earth orbit, outside of the orbital defense grid (I guess they have things in place to prevent someone from just folding in past it? ). My question is: are there any negative consequences of a craft/ ship folding inside a planet's gravity well/ atmosphere?

    So, settlement talk. How fast do we think a city doubling the living capacity of a colony fleet could take to bring up, assuming a fairly habitable climate/ecology? We know and have seen that city island ships like the Frontier Main and Jackpot can and do land in water to construct more permanent habitats and homes for their inhabitants. We also know that much of the city ship's original functions are maintained indefinitely (at least on paper) in the event of a disaster requiring evacuation. A lot of the cities we see tend to be in human-breathable atmospheres though. At least in Macross 30 many of them are actually underground, due to the rather dangerous fauna and fold faults. Workroids would increase productivity vis-a-vis construction but as far as I can see they're more flexible backhoe/excavator/forklift-type machines.

    At least with Filoni in charge, there should be less chance of literal recycling of the old movies. I'll take wins where one can get them, even if its a minor win.

    I think Hardware Unboxed recently released a video on how much RAM one needs and 16GB was still about to tough it through most modern games. Unfortunately, that 8GB of VRAM for that 5070 is where it's gonna hurt.

    Hmm... I kinda like young Trion with his fellow Primes, since in the "present" one's dead and most of the others went off to parts unknown, never to be seen again. But I'm sorely tempted to buy a second copy of the toy to stick that DNA kit on.

    That's a good price for that G14 (especially because, at least with the previous generation, the GPU is so thermally throttled), but 16GB of RAM doesn't seem like enough for gaming anymore. Heck, a part of me wishes I'd have thought to upgrade the RAM in my desktop before the prices started skyrocketing. In any case, I went for the G14 with 32GB of RAM and the RTX 5070. That keeps performance similar with similar settings on both my laptop and my desktop (desktop has a 5080, but it has to drive a 32:9 Samsung G9 OLED with almost twice the pixels).

    He's got some of the ol' Kirk DNA in him, with a voice that slips right past input validation and into infinite loops. As always, I thank you for hate-watching this so I don't have to.

    i saw a review comparison of the g14 and it's definitely a superior laptop in every way than the helios. especially the audio. The helios seems like a good value based on the price per performance ratio. But the g14 if price is not an issue is a premium laptop. btw, bestbuy is having another of those amazing open box deals that started today on the g14: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (Open-Boxes): 14" OLED 3K 120Hz, Ryzen 9 270, RTX 5060, 16GB LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD $929.99 the G14 at this price point is definitely an amazing deal. Best Buy open boxes are some of the best deals around since you can pick the condition you want or return it if it's not your liking. They also have an amazing open box deal on a 5080 laptop that started today: HP OMEN MAX (Open-Boxes): 16" QHD+ 240Hz OLED, Intel Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD $1619.99 if i didn't get this helios for dirt cheap, i would be all over the open box G14 or save a little for the OMEN (though HP has some issues.)

    Had a feeling these would be coming since there already Thundercats and Silverhawks.

    I'm confused how tariffs would only add $3 to the price. I thought current tariff from China was somewhere around 45%. I'm hoping to pick up Max tomorrow.

    I was thinking of picking up Alpha Trion just for this upgrade kit. That new beard looks really good.

    Thank you. It’s a great looking kit and should run you $20-30. Just a few seam pitfalls to look out for and I find the Has decals to be challenging. But definitely one of my favourite designs!

    It’s definitely an overrated show, but still likeable if you can get past the first couple terrible episodes in each season.
