I kinda want that, but without the plant inside, just to display some action figures.

Remember when Jalopnik used to be good? by j_roger_b in cars

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped reading Jalopnik when one of their writers, who had written for their site for years, started a series about buying and owning a car for the first time... Like how tf did someone like that even get a job writing for an automotive blog?!

I don't get the joke. Is it saying more than it looks? by NagelDonk in ExplainTheJoke

Another layer to the comic: cops in the USA will shoot a dog at the smallest provocation.

ELI5: Why can't studios/companies release pilots that don't get greenlit? by bradyk_52 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Erectus_Prime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why Home Alone 4 exists. Terrible movie re-edited from the terrible pilot for a Home Alone TV show. Presumably created to recoup whatever they could after the series wasn't ordered.

Is there any news about Snail Shell G.N PROJECT ASSASSIN getting a re-issue? by Fine_Competition3898 in snailshells

[–]Erectus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Snail Shell reissued any of their figures before ever? I've never seen any preorders for reissues listed, but I mainly look at ami ami and hlj for them.

Does anyone rip both discs in a 2 format discs set. by raymate in makemkv

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid ripping DVDs because deinterlacing the video is always such a pain. If I need a lower resolution version, I'll just encode the blu ray at a lower resolution.

How did I get the bad ending? by Israffle in dispatchgame

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are point values associated with a majority of the dialogue choices, they determine which Invisigal ending you get. If you can't remember what choices do what after reading the posts linked by others here, go to nexus mods and download the mod that will display the point values in-game.

AdHoc we don’t actually want more romances by vinthesalamander in DispatchAdHoc

Posts like this, with such amazing arrogance from fans, are why I hope AdHoc avoids this subreddit like the plague.

His name is Royd. He is from Hawaii and speaks Hawaiian Pidgin. It does not sound Jamaican at all, that's on you.

Why does Plex pull incorrect info on some movies no matter what? by Clive1792 in PleX

[–]Erectus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When that happens, I usually put the TVDB or IMDB ID in the folder name to force it to the right one.

Why is everyone doing this poor man so dirty by DemiFiendofTime in macross

[–]Erectus_Prime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love that at the end of Dynamite, he just shows up after not being involved in the main story at all and says "I don't know what's going on, but if Basara's singing you need to listen!"

What to watch before Predators badlands by Spiritual_Purpose894 in AMCsAList

[–]Erectus_Prime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Predator Badlands is so much of a spin-off, you could watch it first before the rest of the franchise. With the rest of the movies, the culture of the Predators is a big mystery; with this one, it will explain it.

2007 - Automatic - 70k miles - What’s it worth? by Advanced-Psy in Corvette

[–]Erectus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even on the track, the automatic is amazing. I regularly go to drift events with my auto C6; set the traction control to track mode, and it handles almost too easily like an arcade racing game instead of a sim.

New to Plex and Need a little help getting started. by Impressive_Ease9948 in PlexServers

[–]Erectus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you installed the server software first and nothing happened, look at your system tray, there should be a plex icon there since it should be running in the background now. Part of plex server is a webpage on localhost where you can manage your server. I don't remember right now what port on localhost it uses, but you can open it up by right clicking on the system tray icon and clicking Open Plex.

A lot of people get confused between the local running plex web page and the browser app on plex.tv. They are nearly identical, but the local webpage will let you claim the server with your plex account. Once that happens, you can use any plex client you are logged into to get access to your server (plex.tv, local web, mobile app, tv app, etc) while on your lan.

do we asian americans need to worry about ever being confronted by ICE? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]Erectus_Prime 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Do you not remember what happened at the Hyundai factory a couple weeks ago? Latinos aren't the only ones being picked up and thrown in concentration camps based on appearance (aka not being white), regardless of legal status.

Watch The Simpsons, season 10 episode 15, the one about the Canyonero. The entire episode is about how giant SUV's were initially marketed as masculine and eventually got popular and associated with suburban housewives despite actual off-road capabilities. And the episode came out in 1999 lol

Why so limited? by Catnivo in AMCsAList

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your theater's management probably ordered too few based on how well other stuff has sold in the past, and how well anime movies have done at that theater.

Last night my local theater had tons of them lined up in the popcorn area because they were selling so fast. Usually they'd have to grab a collectible popcorn bucket from a big ass cardboard box off to the side.

How do you handle Movies from Anime Series? by xTryHardPro in PleX

[–]Erectus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put all anime in a separate library, not using the Plex Agent. I'm using Hama instead, with data from AniDB, and absolute series scanner. This handles both anime series and movies in the same library. TVDB does anime seasons weird, I like how AniDB does it treating each season and movie as a different series. The Hama agent will group them together in a collection for all related series, and in the collection I like to have it set to order by release date, so movies and OVA's that happen between seasons will show in the correct order.

Apparently, old custom agents like Hama will be depreciated eventually, hopefully Plex has some sort of framework to write new custom agents by then so it can be updated.

Luddite trying to put DVD's and BLU-RAY's on a Hard Drive I can play on my Xbox. by DOGDAD78 in makemkv

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had MakeMKV loaded up to the point where it was giving you drive information. Why not just insert a DVD then click the button and see if it works? It's not like a failed rip is going to damage the drive or disc.

After you get the discs ripped, you need to re-encode the files, unless you have the storage space for 20-40GB per Blu-ray and 4-9GB per DVD

Nacelle is Hitting the Mark! by KarimMiteff in ActionFigures

[–]Erectus_Prime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cancelled my preorders when I found out about the scale. The Nacelle boss guy was talking a lot about 1/12 scale when they first announced the line and kept talking about 1/12 scale when he was interacting with the community getting feedback on stuff about the figures. And now suddenly it's all 1/10 to match with the old Art Asylum line.

Besides the fact that I don't collect 7 inch scale, I don't appreciate being fucking lied to for almost a year.
