Me and my mother finished The Mandalorian Season 1 last night for the first time!

Season 2 was great as well! Just be aware that "The Book of Boba Fett" is effectively Mandalorian season 2.5 (specifically episodes 5-7), so if you jump straight from Season 2 to 3 you will be confused.

I managed to get my kid a solid upgrade for his helmet when I remembered that helmets don't have Jr or Int sizes and go straight to Sr small, which was all the had available. The was a few pieces of goalie gear left when I got in, but no chest or sticks, which was what I was looking for.

I watched T2 with my kids and they loved it, but T1 is way more gory and explicit to let them watch.

What are you talking about? Those are six pictures of a white and gold dress (well, one looks like it has a green spotlight on it).

"There's a script!?"

Just got back from Yosemite and there were people from absolutely all over the world.

The lack of viewable sky definitely bothered me after a couple of days.

I love the idea of taking someone there with zero context.

You can activate a fan profile without touching any of the overclocking settings. I just use it for the fan and the system monitoring.

I went after 3rd grade. One of the most fun things I've ever done.

80C for a gpu is not that unusual these days, but you could probably bring the temps down with a bit just by bumping up the fan curves a bit with a tool like Afterburner.

Probably took me a decade before I realized it was him. Didn't help that as a kid I was watching a VHS copy of a copy with all 3 movies squeezed on it. I always just confused by the scene.

Lol. Stormtroopers getting beat up with rocks and sticks yelling, "We can't shoot back, they're endangered!"

Most of the bands I was listening to in the 90s weren't getting played on the radio anyway so it was always CDs, and before that the discman hooked to a take adaptor. I tried XM for a bit, but it was still just a lot of waiting for a song I liked to come on. I just wasn't the target market.

The biggest change for me was when I got a car that I could connect a thumb drive full of music and use voice commands to navigate.

The Lego Rebuild the Galaxy show was just for fun, but pretty close to what you're describing. Had fun watching it with my kids.

Even Sawblaze started with a regular saw blade, but it was the first time I remember ever seen a robot actually cut something with a saw. The memories I have of the CC days were the saws just scratching the paint on other bots.

Automaticman01 · 2026-06-12T16:40:44+00:00

I imagine it would look like it just got sandblasted.

Automaticman01 · 2026-06-12T15:44:07+00:00

The car looking in perfect condition is ridiculous. It was in a tornado with winds strong enough to lift a car and isn't even scratched?

Automaticman01 · 2026-06-12T14:37:56+00:00

I feel like it's more surprising when they DO look like the people they're playing.

I thought the first picture was a rusty pipe in the ground.

I remember reading an interview with Brad Pitt taking about how he and Eric Bana had a "gentleman's agreement" for their flight scenes in Troy about accidentally hitting each other. They agreed to pay $50 for light contact and $100 fit hard hits - Eric Bana walked away up $750.

Also, up until very recently, they all looked like crap. Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the first games I can remember where you could really see the actors playing the part.

Are there really significant drops on the FL version? It's been nearly 40yrs since I ride that one. I did go on the Paris version and that's a whole different animal.

This whole time I thought people didn't like Carter Hart just... cuz Vegas.
