    Why? I get they never adapted the entire manga to animation properly...but why?

    As I said, moral of the 1st 3 episodes, when your boss tells you to do not waste your time on a matter, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON IT.

    That will depend on your budget willingness. GPU+CPU will already be in the $1300+ range (if 13th-gen Intel holds pricing with current 12th-gen + RTX 4080-12GB). Without any reviews on the RTX 4000-series cards, we don't know what kind of true performance gains you'll see over a RTX 3000-series. Add a PSU capable of the load you'll be drawing will put you into the $1500+ range. And we haven't even gotten to RAM and motherboard.

    Yes...definitely a slow buildup. The only thing I got out of these first 3 episodes is, when your boss tells you drop a subject and just come up with an excuse, you frakin' drop the subject. Or to borrow for another Disney property: 2 episodes could have been save by ☝️ , but noooooo...

    It's not so much continuous use that's the problem. Computer parts do know how to dial back power usage when idle. It's times of sustained loads and/or transient spikes where you're gonna see the light-flickering effect (i.e. using a microwave or turning on that hair dryer). And it's not just the GPU but the CPU and every other component sucking power. Nvidia, Intel, and AMD all need to be thrown under the bus for the increases in power usage. We're not there yet, but you won't be needing a space heater anymore with these new GPUs.

    Or any companies' presentation slides for that matter. Best to wait until reviewers get their hands on it. My hot take on the RTX 4000 is, unless your wallet is burning a hole through your pants, it's probably not worth it.

    DLSS 3.0 (exclusive to RTX 4000-series), 2x boast in rasterization, 4x performance boost with ray-tracing compared to RTX 3000-series. Most people are looking at the RTX 4080-12GB as an overpriced 4070-wannabe. Interestingly, the RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060s are still considered as part of the current lineup (giving more weight that there is an overstock of those cards still on the market). AIBs will have to add ~$200+ on top of Nvidia's cards making a non-Nvidia-made 4090 close to $2000. But yeah, a lot of comments point to people re-thinking whether or not this is worth it. The 4090 now uses as much power as a 3090Ti (with power spikes jumping to ~2-2.5x that amount) and at a $200+ MSRP versus a current 3090Ti AIB board. Plus the cost of a beefier 1000w+ power supply. Unless you want to be a early adopter of the ATX 3.0 PSUs coming out next month which have the required 12VHPWR connector as standard. AMD announced just before today's Nvidia livestream that RDNA3's announcement will be in November.

    Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace GPU generation: $1,599 for RTX 4090, $899 and up for 4080 I think whatever generational and performance gains are going to get drowned out by pricing increases and power requirements (especially if Intel is turning that knob up on power requirements and AMD inching it up as well).

    Moff Gideon isn't Mandalorian and we don't know how he got it off Bo-Katan during the purge, i.e., he probably stole it. Sabine stole it from Maul's hidey hole on Dathomir but when she "won" it back (and Gar Saxon stole it from her so he didn't "earn" it either), she technically got back what she stole. Bo-Katan could have simply accepted it from Mando, but seeing how it went last time...If she wants the clans to back her this time around, she's gotta do it the right way. As Gideon said, the weapon itself isn't powerful, but the story and myth behind it is where the power is.

    The waters are muddled for Boba but Jango was a foundling raised in Mandalorian customs. What ways and customs Jango taught Boba are unknown and up to interpretation. Boba honors the custom of wearing his family’s armor and some codes of honor but he doesn’t call himself a Mandalorian. So we come back to the age old question; are you Mandalorian because of birth, or because you follow the Way? Depends who you ask.

    You sure they didn't just read the room after they saw the reaction to Mando-S3, Boba Fett, Obi-wan, Ashoka at Star Wars Celebration a couple months ago?
  12. azrael
    Depends on your definition of "Mandalorian".
  13. azrael
    No one knows. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it's now delayed? Maybe cancelled? Maybe it gets revived down the road with a new director+story?

    Since this show is going to go on for at least 2 seasons, might as well split it off to its own thread.

    Terry Matalas (showrunner for S3) has confirmed it is the USS Titan-A, a Neo-Constitution class. https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1567963434171473921?s=20&t=LE0brpNOik54-bg1FbTBGQ https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1567964695335673856?s=20&t=LE0brpNOik54-bg1FbTBGQ https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1567964695335673856?s=20&t=LE0brpNOik54-bg1FbTBGQ

    Don't know. But here's the synopsis:
  19. azrael
    2 episodes in...It's OK but this is gonna be a S...L...O...W burner. Really slow... Also, this map might help those who haven't kept up with LotR. Yep we'll be mainly be hanging out in the north west. And for reference, here's the map from the 3rd Age:

    Based on 1 prologue episode? Hard to say. It was a good episode. Series? We’ll find out.
  22. azrael
    Looks like it will go live on 8/31. 1 day earlier than announced.

    We have recently seen an uptick in scammers coming to the site. We don't verify buyers or sellers identities, you will need to satisfy yourself that the other party is genuine and take sensible precautions. If you receive a PM message from someone you don't know offering to sell you an item, proceed with caution, especially if they are a new member. If in doubt, report the message so that it can be reviewed. If you receive a message from someone saying 'I have a friend who is selling XXX, here is his email address' presume it is a scam and report the message. Samples:
