Found my MUSHA registration card yesterday - including a mint CIB copy of Hellfire. My MUSHA is now complete-complete.

Those super parts give me VF-19 and VF-25 vibes and I like it.

I enjoyed this show. I get the cheesy tropes and stupidity, but I give the show grace and call it campiness. I don't know that aside from Alien: Isolation (putting the player in the hot seat), we'll be able to invoke the level of horror that Alien did - and I don't know that I'd want that to begin with. Alien is one of the greats and I doubt you can ever re-create the theater feel of that subject matter breaking for the first time. Aliens... Again, one of the greats for me. It's hard for me to imagine topping this movie - the Alien with ALL the 80's over-the-topness. Remember, the only one in the movies that really understood how screwed everyone was all along was the cat. I do not agree with Alien: Earth sitting above these two on Rotten Tomatoes... That's a travesty... but for a TV "show" I think it has been great. Looking forward to next season where I hope the success of the first gives them a bigger budget for the effects and they use it wisely.

I mean, I've always wondered how a Legioss could fly in any gravity in the first place. It's cool to see the Baldois I bought in the background there. I agree on this being a soldier mode queen... but that's why we have Sentinel... This thing is going to be an imposing 13" tall in the Mospeada cabinet.

I just did that, but it didn't seem that bad. The transfer looked like it would take forever, then wrapped up really quick. Mine defaulted to the slower 2.4 band. The moment I flipped it to the 5/6 band it took off like a rocket. The new MK is lots of fun except for Donkey Kong being a menace.- 870 replies

After moving my kiddos into college, stopped by Wally World to snag some odds and ends... Caught a young fellow stocking 4 of these... I thought to get all of them, but settled on one... They had the microsd card deeply discounted, too...- 870 replies

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm at 150" 1440p from 12-13 feet away. Looks spectacular. My desktop is a 34" ultra wide @ 1440p, also looks spectacular. Maybe that's a little subjective though, but 24-27" just seems small anymore. x3D processors are fantastic. -
The computer and electronics super geek thread
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think the days of PC master race power are gone. Aside from some limited developers going full Crysis now and then just about everything is tuned to where the consoles thrive.... It is a sad, sad state of affairs anymore. It may only get worse going forward. Anything tuned at or a little above the current consoles should thrive for a while... go 1.25 times performance over that and you're good for a long while. When does the PS6 release? It may still lack the performance of today's peak pc hardware... -
The computer and electronics super geek thread
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think you've already solved the use case then... anything modern, even mid-grade annihilates the frame rates on older titles. Under these conditions I would stick to reliable performance as opposed to beta testing hardware and serving as a customer service incentive statistic. -

I would recommend aiming for a nice 1440p monitor that works at a high refresh rate. I'm also seeing better prices on packaged, pre-made PCs than parting out. Just find a brand that is friendly for DIY upgrades. You'll get more bang for your buck and you don't get sucked into the 4k/8k bs. High-refresh 1440p with all of today's graphics tech is fantastic. Also much more affordable. I game on a 150" 4k/1440P projector that runs at 144hz. Even at that size the smoothness and additional bells and whistles I can run at 1440p make the experience much better than 4k freesynced to anything 60-90hz. -

Well said, I'm in this mindset. I've got a host of the old comic books, novels, games, etc... I think some of these Xenos are behaving precisely as shown and described. It's been fun and stupid at times, but mostly fun.

My plan is to display the Sentinel Legioss + Tread in fighter and the Pose + in soldier. Assuming we get a green tread :P.

It may be plausible that all of these events are happening concurrently due to the length of time for space travel/hypersleep/etc, right? Or maybe that's a stretch based off past canon analysis.

Broke down and used BBTS. There are a handful of sites that are advertising a lower price, but no interaction with tariffs. We'll see how it goes, but I've ordered other stuff from BBTS and it worked out OK.
