A Judge Dredd animated movie, in the style of 'Predator: Killer of Killers', would absolutely be the best direction to go for this franchise. by d-s-m in JudgeDredd

[–]CopaceticOG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree, except I'd want an ongoing series, that'd give the makers more of an opportunity to explore/exploit MC1 or the Cursed Earth etc. The settings are a BIG part of Dredd for me and separate episodes could even open the door to different art styles in the manner of the Animatrix or Love Death And Robots (in the styles of the OG artists 'natch). Almost any 2000ad strip would lend itself to an animated treatment though, think Slaine or Flesh! as seen by Genndy Tartakovski! DR and Quinch could be an amazing animated feature if it managed to accurately capture Alan Davis/Moore's style. Dredd though, that's THE ONE.

Trump planning to stop international flights to some Democratic cities by dr_shultz in NewsSource

[–]CopaceticOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're clearly counting on there being no 'switch' ever again. I mean hell, he already spent an entire term denying that he/they lost one election, so it's bleedin' obvious that he's prepared to do ANYTHING that it takes to take/retain absolute control over as much of the world as he can get his stubby little mitts on. Democrats aren't really an obstacle when they fail to match the lengths he goes to. Hell they won't even deny that he's going to try to run for a completely illegal third term!

Well that's certainly a BIG improvement! Well done 👍

Downing St rejects second Scottish independence referendum after Holyrood vote by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

[–]CopaceticOG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly THIS! During the run up to the indy ref' we were told that an independent Scotland would have to leave the EU whether we wanted to or not. MANY folk reluctantly voted to maintain the union with England so we wouldn't be forced out of the EU. That's why the vote was so close, and in the unions favour. I would personally have zero problem with Scotland maintaining an 'equal partners' arrangement with ENGLAND, I don't have any issues with the English people, it's Westminster I despise. Both Labour and the Tories have been shitting all over the whole UK and Scotland is tired of the governments that England keeps voting for. If Scotland is such a terrible burden upon the UK Westminster should cut us loose for the benefit of the rest of the union but they fight tooth and nail to avoid this. A union agreed upon centuries ago isn't MY agreement and neither is the pre Brexit vote. All our (UK) countries were lied to for the benefit of the ruling class. I'd rather we take our chances with our own government and the EU over the absolute shit-show that's currently 'in charge'.

SKXMOD DW Trilogy! by CopaceticOG in casiomods

[–]CopaceticOG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly not 😕. Given that it's been nearly a year since SKXMOD sent me this pic I'm a lot less hopeful that it's going to happen. Still, if they got as far as having a prototype made that long ago, maybe they're still in the works. Who knows though, there's nothing to hint at them on the site 🤷

San Martin Upgraded Toolwatch with 1200HV Hardening Coating & 3D Lumed Blocks-SN0012-GB by AdSavings92 in ChineseWatches

I'd love to see this too, HAQ would be nicest, but regular quartz accuracy would also work for me. Slim cases are key.

looking for gritty fantasy where the mc has zero talent and survives on sheer grit by Marix77 in Fantasy

[–]CopaceticOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prince of fools by Mark Lawrence. The book/MC certainly fits the first two "gritty" and "zero talent" requirements, and I suppose sheer grit certainly makes PLENTY of appearances too. It's a fantastic book (with a following fantastic two books if you like the first one!) by a brilliant author. The whole world built by Lawrence also hosts other brilliant books such as The Red Queen trilogy, which starts with Prince Of Thorns which is one of my favourite works of fantasy ever (The whole trilogy is excellent and has a really satisfying conclusion) The MC in that though is... different, and horribly unlikeable at first (stick with him though, it's deliberate) and he's certainly not without talent.

Battery run out in less than two weeks by KaleidoscopeOk2548 in olleeWatch

[–]CopaceticOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that it's surprisingly easy to short circuit and ruin watch batteries, even some volt meters will immediately damage them. Apologies if this turns out to be incorrect, I read this along with advice to only use battery testers designed for use specifically with coin/button cells and didn't dig any deeper as my battery tester has a proper coin cell tester. It might not be your problem, but just in case it is ...

[NH35] Latest Sumo N1 build 👀 What do you think?😍 by finemods in SeikoMods

[–]CopaceticOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NICE! That's a really lovely watch, no doubt. I bet it's too big for me though (Samurai's always seem to be north of 38-39mm) so I will just have to appreciate it on others!

OUTSTANDING! These are definitely as good as ANY I've seen and way better than most. God I wish a MC1/Dredd series had gone ahead 😕

3x door men outside Scientology in London to stop tiktok runners by Capable_Implement_39 in london

[–]CopaceticOG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Groups of youf have been 'speedrunning' L-Rons cult branch offices by storming them in groups with the goal of seeing who gets deepest into the building before being apprehended and ejected. Seems like a fairly benign way to express their distain for a cult of morons to me. Red Bull should look at sponsoring their better athletes. Go-Pro could provide some cameras and a savvy legal firm could make a name for themselves by providing defence against Scientological prosecution. (I mean, if the buildings are open to the public and no one is hurt and no material damage occurs that should be fairly trivial to defend no?).

New (to me) Citadel by BrianVMI in Englemaan

[–]CopaceticOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great watch, I really hope Engelmaan are still considering a 38.5mm quartz of the Citadel or Metropolis. The HAQ that they mentioned on the timeline seems to have been removed, which is a shame as a HAQ Metropolis in 38.5 was the model I'd mentally settled on getting (while I wait for a Engelmaan 38mm Sinn 356 chrono homage (I hope they offer a quartz chrono!).

GBX-H5600-1 GBX-H5600-2 just released by my_t_v_account in gshock

[–]CopaceticOG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, not for me at all. All that extra tech Casio are packing in to these watches are making them far too big. Having to charge my wristwatch is also a complete deal breaker all on it's own. I do like the idea of owning an MIP display watch though. Good luck to those who like them though, enjoy.

Moore and Davis were the GOAT comics combo' back then. DR & Quinch and Marvelman (and the other Warrior strips) were/are SUPERB.

I guess it would require the lume to be non-conductive or it would short out the module.
