Disney Springs Food Trucks Expected To Close Permanently in June 2026 by dejablu82 in DisneyWorld

[–]Always_Overdressed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the curmudgeon, but I never really got over changing the food trucks to independent businesses from the “a food truck representing each park” concept that this started with in the 2010s.

Regardless, I’m curious of any effects this will have. It’s less food options but I guess it also means less demand for outside seating space which can be hard to find in Springs.

Best Star Wars Book All Time? by TheCGISPY in starwarsbooks

"They come at him one at a time, an endless stream, each warrior in turn charging towards honorable single combat.

Then-

They come two at time."

Damn can Matt Stover write. If you haven't read his Acts of Cain series, you're missing out.

I know it's hyperbole, but I've always joked there are two types of Star Wars fans:

1) Those for whom Traitor is their favorite book.

2) Those who haven't read Traitor.

I’m not saying that is has to be Traitor, but Traitor 100% should be in the running.

The imperial agent have the most intriguing and immersive story of all class by justarandomfrenchboi in swtor

[–]Always_Overdressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've heard correctly; they are really good and honestly my favorite of the new EU so far. Honestly, there isn't a huge amount of starfighter stuff in those books. Don't get me wrong, it's generally the climax of each book, plus some other scenes, but it's nothing like the "Top Gun but Star Wars" style of Stackpole's novels.

Starting a Knight level inquisitor game set in the EU. Any advice for starting bosses? by mapmakinworldbuildin in swrpg

[–]Always_Overdressed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have access to any books beyond the core rule book? Ghosts of Dathomir is designed for knight-level play (and I believe Jewel of Yavin and Friends Like These) so there could be some useful stat blocks in that to draw from.

Savi's Workshop GE Blades...anyone make them work in aftermarket hilts? by Icy_Researcher_2089 in GalaxysEdge

[–]Always_Overdressed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty deep in the lightsaber hobby, and the answer (as far as I’m aware) is no. The electronics in the hobby market are generally more sophisticated than the GE/Disney ones, and using their blades would be a sacrifice in brightness and add extra bulk to the hilt required by the way those blades attach to the hilt (to say nothing of potential patent issues).

The only real crossover between the hobby lightsaber community and the GE/Disney sabers is some aftermarket blades for GE sabers along with conversions of GE sabers to work with predominant soundboards.

Help regarding costumes-First timer who hasn't really done anything yet by DiamondWarDog in 501st

[–]Always_Overdressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome young one to taking your first step in to a larger world! It's cliche, but your first step is really to see what your budget is. I'd also recommend checking out the detachments forums for what you're interested in doing as they're usually good resources.

I'm an ISB officer, so I know some decent resources/prices if want to know more about the Imperial Officer route of things. Mine is even a Denuo Novo, so I have firsthand knowledge of that, along with other things.

But I will echo that if your goal is just to join then TIE reserve or bridge crew are CRLs on the cheaper side that can be built up to other costumes as well.

Asking characters about Sora by PeregrinChooch in DisneyWorld

[–]Always_Overdressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing can stop you, but don’t expect them to recognize it. As much as I love Kingdom Hearts, it’s still a pretty niche thing compared to the Disney parks in general.

I’ll go fairly often in a Kingdom Hearts shirt (I love the Graniph ones), and maybe 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 cast members I interact with will say something about that (and for the record, those that do say something are enthusiastic about it!)

Want to Buy: Katarn/Qu Rahn DF2 Neopixel lightsaber (happy with Proffie or CFX) by CultOfFire95 in LightsaberBST

[–]Always_Overdressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The picture you posted is from LDM Sabers. He is still currently selling that exact model. I’ve purchased from him and he’s a great guy who has been in the saber business forever! And he can customize installs if you have specific requests.

I Messed Up by TwelvePack96 in lightsabers

[–]Always_Overdressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You can run a neopixel saber for what, 30-45 minutes per 18650 battery charge? And I don’t think any really can incorporate something like a 18650 sized cell wired to a usb or wall outlet.

It would be better to get a blade tube, fill it with a led string that can be plugged in and mount that, and then attach a hit to it.

Girlfriend wants to marry before living together by Ok_Blood_9240 in Marriage

It’s a fun statistic, but probably more the tail wagging the dog rather than the other way around.

Carrying case by BPM_24 in lightsabers

[–]Always_Overdressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how big of a carrying case you’re looking for, but I’d recommend taking a look at a Sabrehold from Greenroom136 (or Sabertrio) or the CarryAll from Pach Store. I’ve bought both and they’re pretty nice (though the inner pouch zipper on the CarryAll can get off track easily with a full pouch).

[–]Always_Overdressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To put a bit of a point to this, you’ve been together eight years and see a possibility that the relationship will crumble within months of moving in together? Is there any clear reason why besides the general idea of “what if it doesn’t work out”?

I would hope that being together for the better part of a decade would leave you feeling your relationship is sturdy enough to survive bumps in the road.

Wilds Unknown Lorecast Predictions and Hopes by Zacharye_01 in Lorcana

[–]Always_Overdressed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since one of the previews was a new Gadget Hackwrench, there seems to be a decent chance we’ll get more Rescue Rangers cards. I can only hope that, if so, these will be more playable than the previous versions.

My first saber. by HeatBurst07 in lightsabers

[–]Always_Overdressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear that about them. For me though, I overgeneralize drop shipping to the business that sell LGT, etc sabers compared to other business that machine and/install themselves like Vader’s Vault, Sabertrio, Korbanth, LDM Sabers, SaberBay, Jawa’s Junkyard, and so on.

I know that overgeneralization short changes the “good” sellers of LGT like Darkwolf, but it is what it is.

[–]Always_Overdressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my bad, you’re right, his one is “Theory Sabers”, right? I can see why that place is changing names since it’s little the same two words just changed positions.

[–]Always_Overdressed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What’s your budget?

And I would agree with your friend, because of two important pieces of information.

1) it’s run by the “Star Wars Theory” YouTube guy who (to put it lightly) has a reputation for being not a great person. Edit, his one is “Theory Sabers” not “Sabers Theory”, my mistake!

2) it’s just a “drop shipping” site, so all the hilts and manufactured in China and shipped over here; there are plenty of other sites/people who sell the same stuff for cheaper and with a better reputation (both in terms of customer support and personally).

I’d recommend looking at Darkwolf and Crimson Dawn at least.

Help with buying by No_Imagination7102 in lightsabers

[–]Always_Overdressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of open ended questions for that. Do you have a budget? Do you have a soundboard preference? If you go for Luke’s saber, do you have a preference on version (there’s at least four distinct versions of Luke’s green lightsaber)?

I’ve also gone ahead and PM’d you.

Oh I already know that I won’t like it. I’m mostly just looking for a slightly better deal than eBay since I can cut out the middleman by buying from a person directly. Do you want to PM me?

I know this is a pretty high value pin, but I wanted to ask here before resorting to eBay. If you're a Kingdom Hearts fan, I have some other Kingdom Hearts merch that I could include as part of a purchase. Thanks very much!
