    That looks REALLY good! I have the HM-R's and it looks just like those!

    When the sun shines in Portland during the winter you get work done outside.

    And.... ... the Ghost. It was on the CLEARANCE shelf at Wally World for about $25. It'll stay in its box until I get a spot to display it. Need to find the shuttle now...

    Two new purchases for me. The last one (for now) of my sword purchases, is this one from Swordier. Full tang, spring-steel blade, the largest of swords I've bought so far. Trying to think of a good name for it.

    This! You don't realize how many little things are "essential" for daily usage until "something doesn't work like you're used to" and you curse whatever developer made "the stupid way" the default behavior of Win 10/11 and now you have to figure out how to change it yet again... Until it's "how I want it", it's just A computer and not MY computer.

    This poster bothers me because it doesn't clarify the Hollywood Theatre referenced isn't in Hollywood, CA but in fact in Portland, OR. I just feel like it should be clear lol.

    Incredible. Any chance we can get a pic of your collection? That Godzilla Grimlock is tight too.

    He’s definitely impressive. I think that’s the Godzilla that truly is a frightening concept. Not so much for those that deal with him, but the fact that he’s pretty close to unkillable and the more he exists, the more his own body tortures him with his own growth. He’s like a giant constantly healing open wound that only gets worse the better he gets

    Potentially. Of course, that would require them to put a lot more thought into the story than they did. The only thinking the showrunners and writers seem to have done is coming up with a string of weak excuses to handwave away the aspects of Star Trek's far future that would have otherwise made the central conflict of their story irrelevant or laughably easy to resolve. Y'know, like why anyone is using warp drive when they've had better alternatives for around 800 years or why the Federation Temporal Agency didn't simply look back in time to find the origin of the Burn or ret-gone the event from the timeline. But all of those things would have diminished or eliminated Michael Burnham's ability to be The Messiah and singlehandedly Save The Universe. The whole plot was in service of Burnham's in-universe savior complex and the writers determination to make her the franchise's Main Character. Pretty much anything to do with fast sublight or faster-than-light travel or communication depends on subspace in Star Trek. Early impulse drives used subspace fields to cheat the ship's inertial mass down so fusion rockets could push the ship up to a decent fraction of c. Late impulse drives (TNG era and beyond) are basically sublight warp drives. Warp drives use subspace fields to expand and compress space to move the warp bubble through space at FTL speeds. A conventional transwarp drive is just a more potent version of that. Coaxial warp drives use a conventional warp field to fold space. Transwarp conduits and wormholes are essentially tunnels in subspace connecting two or more points in the universe. Quantum slipstream ships are basically a Star Trek hyperdrive where the ship travels through subspace. FTL sensors and comms are subspace-based, and transporters use subspace to send the matter stream to/from its destination. That why, in Voyager the Omega Directive was a By Any Means sort of special order. If subspace goes bye-bye thanks to omega particles then pretty much everything modern civilization depends for travel and communication goes bye-bye. YUP.

    I haven’t had the time to take better pictures.

    I really didn’t care for this guy, no wonder he’s on discount
  16. Big s
    Was it that she’s regretting the epic burrito?
  17. Big s
    I feel like they threw it away, they basically lost out. They should’ve destroyed it before just trashing it. And isn’t it illegal to dispose of electronics in the trash?

    Was browsing Amiami for new cospa stuff and saw that they have yukikaze t shirts and jackets for PO https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/list/?s_st_list_preorder_available=1&s_st_list_backorder_available=1&s_st_list_newitem_available=1&s_st_condition_flg=1&s_keywords=Cospa+yukikaze

    Yeah, that was crazy Sega using Nintendo's private investigator and collaborated with the police to go after one guy over junk they threw away.

    Review of Bandai's (Capsul Toy) V.O.T.O.M.S. Kind of forgot about this series..... what scale are these? 1/60 !?
  23. Thom
    That looks really cool!

    About time to watch Sky Crawlers again.
  25. Thom
    But there are people who do understand what she is saying in that scene, and if that is a large number of people then it's not just some weird 'blip' in TV history. It becomes something very notable, esp if it is turning up in other places as well.

    The thing is, there are any number of 'hand-wavium' explanations that could be used to 'fix' subspace. The Omega particle could have been a less powerful, artificially created version, keeping the damage repairable with time. (And some 800 years into the future, they could have written the Federation as having devolved into a despotic mirror of the Empire, that eventually destroyed itself while developing such a super weapon. A subplot then post season 3 of STD could have been to convince the old member planets that the resurgent Federation was of the earlier TOS/TNG variant.) They could also say that Discovery actually had the means to fix subspace. They had the Sphere data, which was apparently so important and comprehensive that they had to travel across time to keep Control from using it. The writers could have pulled a solution from that archive of data, and had one of Discovery's primary missions to be that of sealing up the ruptures in subspace, thus basically 'stitching' the Federation back together. (Of course, after arriving, reference to the Sphere data just seemed to vanish.) Or, by the time Discovery returned, most ships were using the slipstream drive anyway. IDK if it would suffer do to ruptured subspace, but visually they were already getting away from the standard Star Trek design layout, and could have left subspace damaged and just worked around it. But, I guess this is us just giving this more thought than the Discovery's writing team ever did.

    AI, but still better than a Hollywood adaption?
