    Still can’t tell. But it looks like the 1st BD release.

    It's very hard to tell from that angle. It could be the original BD release or the new BD release here: https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/50390-macross-frontier-blu-ray-box-special-limited-edition-release-on-march-24-2023-jp-release/

    Lemme me stop you right there. Is there a reason you didn't like it? Without getting political? No? Then just say "I didn't like it" and walk away.

    The PNY CS900 seems like a good choice for storage. ‘Never used one so I have no basis for comparison. Keep in mind cheap usually means it lacks DRAM cache. That’s fine for a storage drive, but you’ll see some difference if used for a OS/boot drive.

    North America is not the only market. As I've said, I know for a fact I am not the target demographic for current Macross. I'm fine and happy with that. My expectation is for the franchise to bring in new fans to, as the business-side of me would like, keep that cash-flow going with new fandom and not rely on nostalgia and a stagnant idea base.

    Ep 7 "Those Old Scientists" dropped early. SSDC folks got to watch it at the convention. It was hilarious. 🤣 Also

    🤦‍♂️ I know. We literally went over this here:

    You could try cloning the drives to reflect a better layout (i.e. clone your M.2 drive to a SATA and vice versa to make your M.2 drive as your OS drive). I'd avoid the PCIE Gen 5 drives unless you know your mobo can handle it. Also, many Gen 5 drives come with heatsinks attached so there may be a clearance issue. Gen 5 drives can hit 10 GB/sec reads and near 9.5 GB/sec writes so they can generate a lot of heat. Gen 4 speeds are good enough for most people and most tasks. For OS, a 1TB offers the best size to cost. If you have to go lower, 500/512GB is the smallest size I'd go these days. Since SSDs go on sale quite often, it's hard to judge but my picks for a drive are (in no particular order): Crucial P5 Samsung 980 Pro/EVO WD Black SN850X/SN770 Sabrent Rocket For SATA Crucial MX500/BX500 Samsung 870 Pro/EVO Seagate Barracuda For storage drives, I lean toward greater capacity vs cost, even at the cost of speed. Crucial P2/MX500/BX500 Samsung EVO/QVO WD Black SN770/Blue SA510 Sabrent Rocket Seagate Ironwolf Leven JS600

    'Not sure how we got into Disney's social & economic choices but tread carefully. My comment was in reference to the fact that even though an article title is a possible Gargoyles movie, it's debunked in the same article and yet we got comments like: "It’s Disney, so I’ll keep my expectations low, really low, really really low" "loved those cartoons as a kid! Hope they do good by it."

    There's no need for fansubs since it comes with English subs already.

    "So you want Gundam?" 😁😝
  13. azrael
    So you want Robotech? HEY EVERYONE! ☝️ HE WANTS ROBOTECH! ☝️ 🏃‍♂️💨 *quickly runs away*

    "I want Macross but without all the Macross-y stuff" "So you want Gundam?" "No. I want Macross. But without the stuff that makes it Macross." "So you want Gundam?" .... 🤦‍♂️ Every time we get a new Macross, this exact conversation comes up. Every. Damn. Time.

    MOD WARNING Since some of you didn't get Roy's hint, you get a vacation from the board instead of the thread getting vacation from you kids.

    Streaming is not a profitable a business as many studios would have hoped. Disney, like all the other studios, are finding out that it's not enough to have new subscribers coming in, you also have to retain them. And with rising costs, people have had to make cuts. And lets face the facts, streaming subscriptions are luxury cost to us customers. And with rising costs of production, studios have to rein in their spending. As the saying goes, less is more.

    That's a E-wing...pullin' more from the Zahn-books eh?

    FYI, This is a story-based costume. They revealed their primary costumes back in December 2022. They'll be traveling to the Sixties (rockin' the afro 🤙) and the 18th century.

    M'kay. I think y'all need to take a break from this thread.

    Probably not. Most mini PC makers are leaning more toward the complete package vs the slotted computing unit.
  21. azrael
    Awww shucks. Intel kills its NUC line, but the tiny PC will live on It's actually interesting to see how much power one could cram into the tiny PC space. At least Minisforum, Beelink and the bigger brands are still putting out units.

    No...Spoilers if you haven't watched Rebels.. Yeah, you might want to watch Rebels to get up to speed on this show.
  23. azrael
    It's best summed up with this quote from this article... If you didn't like Rebels, then this will be a pass for you. I've been happy with most of Fioni's stories, at least most of Clone Wars and Rebels (Bad Batch still has 1 more season so I'll leave that out for now). I skipped Resistance.
  24. azrael
    Yeah...Our live watch parties (threads) told a different story, especially with Frontier.

    OK children, would you like take it outside or do you want to continue and face a boot to the arse on the way out?
