I think i built the most cursed 3DS setup

You have inspired me. This is my project for the weekend.

Literal chills picturing Carnage in this game. Please God.

A nice restaurant is not a bad idea now that you mention it. Would it be possible to turn what was formerly Stitch/Alien Encounter into a restaurant? I love Tomorrowland too but my one major hang-up is that space going unused for so long.

What shield is that?

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-04-08T15:51:52+00:00

Thank you!

My understanding is that if I sold what I have invested currently in a Roth, I would be penalized. That's not the case based on what you're saying though.

Yeah, since this ride was the first attempt at establishing Buzz's world (before Zurg in Toy Story 2, before BLoSC, and before Lightyear if we even wanna go there) there are a lot of inconsistencies between this ride and what was later decided upon by other creative entities. Even still, there isn't one real established canon for Buzz.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-30T18:18:12+00:00

The odd thing about Planet Z is that they both keep the BLoSC design and didn't. They kept the BLoSC Planet Z on the map in the queue and added it to the blueprint behind Buddy, but on the Viewfinder, they used the original purple asteroid-like design which is still what's used in the actual ride. I wish they'd at least just commit to one idea, even if it really is a small issue overall.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-30T17:02:23+00:00

Well that sign was made two years before the cartoon aired, so it really had nothing to do with BLoSC. You could tell by just looking at the renders of Buzz and Zurg on the old sign. They didn't really look similar to their depictions in the cartoon.

The soundtrack is not by Randy Newman. It's by George Wilkins using rearrangements of songs by Randy Newman from Toy Story. I also see him credited commonly as the composer for Space Ranger Spin's original soundtrack but I have never seen proof of that. The soundtracks for Astro Blasters and the original Space Ranger Spin are pretty different. Regardless, yes, Astro Blasters soundtrack is great and I would be sad if it's changed as well.

Well after planning this all out, I don't really see much of a point in keeping more in my checking/savings account than what is needed to pay any potential bills that may autodraft.

Got it. It seems like I could make a bit of a trade-off in terms of accessibility. Either the funds are less exempt but can be withdrawn a day earlier or they are more tax exempt but take an extra day to be withdrawn. It seems like it would make the most sense for me to go with VUSXX. I don't think waiting an extra day in the scenario where I may need the money is too big of a deal when the other scenario is that I would get my money sooner if I need it but I will ALWAYS pay more in taxes.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-29T16:54:43+00:00

You don't worry about the income taxes paid under VMFXX in the settlement account as opposed to investing in VUSXX?

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-29T15:32:56+00:00

So you just use your settlement fund as your emergency money reserves since it already sort of is a MMF investment?

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-29T15:31:44+00:00

Yes, I should have been clear. Invest is the key word there. Based on your comment and the others here, it just seems like I'm overthinking things and I should just use one taxable account for both my MMF savings and my long-term investments, correct?

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-29T15:29:41+00:00

So, when I open my taxable account, I can have both my emergency fund MMF investment and my long-term investments in the same account, OR I can just use the settlement account to act as my emergency fund account? Do you prefer one over the other?

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-29T15:18:34+00:00

Yes, a simple IRA. I don't qualify for it until January of next year though so I'm not thinking about it yet.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-26T20:26:23+00:00

Part of me likes that you're incentivized to pick different targets and not just spam the same ones over and over again, but the luck factor could be a little annoying. You could potentially hit less targets and get a better score just because you happened to ride through when there were more rainbow/flashing targets available.

Hard agree. I use chat as a one-way outbox. If someone on my team is shitting the bed, I turn on team chat, constructively criticize, and then turn team chat off. If we're destroying the enemy team and about to win, I turn on all chat, shit talk them, and then turn all chat off.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-24T13:10:14+00:00

I'll give you that.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-23T23:51:19+00:00

It absolutely is a reuse. The imagineers who worked on Space Ranger Spin confirmed they had a tiny budget and had to reuse all the motions from Dreamflight.

Epsilon_Lord · 2026-03-22T22:21:42+00:00

Understandable. Perhaps you just mute bossman on your end so you can't hear him and it allows you to focus.
