    I'll keep my 👍 or 👎 till this is over. Dr. Crusher can handle phaser. She's fought the Borg, 3 times, a crazy scientist who can stop his vital functions on a whim, Cardassians, the Son'a, oh and a parasitic anaphasic lifeform from a candle. Capt. Shaw reminds me of, as Ensign Mariner would say, a Capt. Jellico-type of commander. Might/might not be a micro-manager but someone with a rod shoved up his ass.

    I think they (the writers) didn’t know what to do with the character. Hunter’s the father-figure, Wrecker’s the brother, and Tech is the teacher. ‘Not sure what Echo is. Writing him out as a a regular in the show is probably the only plan they can come up with right now.

    They still are 20-ish episodes these days. It's just a matter of how much they want to spend on production. A shorter season only means, hopefully, that they are spending more on production rather than episodes; quality over quantity. Given The Mandalorian's use of VFX...I would imagine they need to equal production costs with episode counts.

    The Last of Us is on TV then streaming afterwards on HBO Max. Except for this week 'cuz of the Super Bowl. It's probably a benefit that the shooting schedules are far enough apart that he can film both shows.

    😑 I stand by my statement. No humanoid dismemberment, no buy (at least not until it comes on sale..like a year or 2 later). Stupid Disney.😡 I want humanoid dismemberment just like the old Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy-days.

    Seeing that Earth technology is quite different from existing Zentradi technology despite stemming from Protoculture, “upgrade in parity” is quite hard. NUNS has improved things were they can (powerplants, sensors, armaments, pilot survivability), but a completely new system would be needed to incorporate NUNS tech into Zentradi tech. This is seen in the Neo-Glaug and the Feios Valkyrie. Existing Zentradi tech has mostly seen their upgrades stapled on, per se. Zentradi tech is still capable to modern VFs with their current upgrades (see the Q-Rhea).

    Growling Sidewinder already posted a DCS-version so….Bandai-Namco, clock’s a tickin’. 🤑

    "huge movie that unfortunately got pulled" could mean LITERALLY ANYTHING. He can't say cuz it's still under NDA? Until it can be proven it was for this thing *points at this thread*, still in production hell, sorry back into dormancy you go.

    ‘Never said anything about it being good or not. I don’t know if it will be good or not. But westernized live-action versions of anime tend to not do well. And do I think this will attract new subscribers? Not enough to warrant another season.
  12. azrael
    Hot take: This is getting cancelled. Pretty sure I don’t need to see a trailer. Anime to westernized live-action just doesn’t work. ‘Should have never been green lit.

    IMO, it’s ok. Nothing special story-wise. Not worth a rewatch.

    Oh no, that's old trends. It's now all about high schoolers in corporate high schools doing Valk battle simulations until a war break..oh wait...

    Gundam has a lot of "magic" particles. But yes, in Gundam, they are not blasting their rockets at full burn. Otherwise, those would be some really short fights, and very long engagements (lots of scope shooting). At least in the UC, mobile suits also use base jabbers to fly around and close the distance (whom are also not running their rockets at full burn either). "Real" went out the door as soon as a 16-year old was able to pilot a robot only using the instruction manual binder as a guide.
  16. azrael
    Ah yes...

    Yep. Still sticking with this ☝️. Less mass? They took out some things they didn't need to make room for the Fold-Wave system. Slightly better thrust? Engine tweak (singular). ICS improvement? Fold-wave installation.

    We don't know.

    Not of battroid mode. And we normally ignore in-game footage because of game mechanics. If we believed in-game mechanics and footage, Call of Duty would have you believe you and the people you shoot at are bullet magnets/pillows.

    We don't know. We've never seen the VF-4 Battroid in action, in animation. So we have nothing to go on besides the toys. Anime magic. IIRC, it also ended up on the wing glove shortly afterwards. We also don't know if the Full armor adds additional mounts that are covered by the Full Armor. The VF-1’s Super parts add a mount for the original gunpod mount that’s covered by the Super parts so who’s to say they didn’t think to add more mounts on these addon parts 50 years later.

    Intel announced their laptop 13th gen CPUs on Tuesday along with some low end desktop SKUs. AMD's turn was earlier today and they announced the 3D VCache versions of the 7000 series. 7800X3D, 7900X3D, and 7950X3D. The 5800X3D is going to be a tough act to follow considering how much of an uplift it was when it came out (and still is a good value even when compared to AMD's own 7000-series Ryzen). AMD also announced their 7000-series non-X and laptop CPUs. I heard AMD's previous laptop CPUs performed well and were well worth the money...if you could get one. 🤷‍♂️

    Upgrade to the 3050 and keep the 1060 as a troubleshooting card? 🤷‍♂️ 4080 12GB 4070Ti reviews are out...and there are no Founders Ed. cards out so all the AIBs cards are out and being priced above $799...🤦‍♂️ Don't know what benchmarks Nvidia was pulling out of its ass but it's not 3x better than a 3090Ti. Performance and power averages place it somewhere in between the 3080 Ti and the 3090 Ti but with a near 3080Ti price tag. It's pricing position puts it in the odd-man-out situation. Pay a little more and get a last-gen card for equal or cheaper, or spring for a 7900 XT/XTX.

    As expected, Nvidia has announced the 4080 12GB 4070Ti at $799, available on January 5th. And it's actually a reasonable girth (2-slot card) unlike it's beefier siblings. It's doubtful that this will push the prices of 3070s/3070Ti's down as most are still selling above "MSRP". 🙄
  25. azrael
    There's still time. 😁 All the big announcements came already and there should be no big announcements until Summer 2023 so there's still lots of chances for sales between now and summer. I'm not hopeful though. Most companies are eying lower revenue in 2023 so I don't see many massive price drops this year. CES starts on Thursday (1/5/2023). We're expecting Nvidia to announce the 4080 12GB 4070Ti and AMD to release non-X Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. I'm more interested in the other tech that will show up at this year's show. I assume you tried updating or rolling back drivers and/or the vBIOS? Though, given that it is a 1060, I won't be shocked if the hardware was finally giving out.
