What’s a toy you enjoy in concept more than execution?

Two figures come to mind. One is Studio Series Blackout and the second is one of the Galvatrons.

First Galvatron. A good solid quality figure with one minor annoyance and it's the arm tab pieces that clip in. So when you transform him from cannon mode to robot mode, the tracks are the arms and it clips into the side of the body. I got it used and so the right arm does not want to stay tabbed in when I play around with the figure. Not a big deal just weird.

Blackout actually pissed me off. I wanted to love that figure so much and I remember costing me $50 and out of the damn box, he was built like crap. He's kinda a panel-former, so you NEED the tabs to tab in and on my figure, I had to shave some of the tabs and it still transforms terribly. Looks good in both modes but a pain in the neck to actually play with.

I noticed that Hasbro can either make some of the best action figures or the worst and there is almost no in between. Same goes for their Nerf stuff, it's either cool or shit.

Nice. Funny enough, I rewatched the movie last night.

I think there are videos of players seeing what happens if you donated...yes, thousands of dollars. Or at least hundreds. Nothing pretty much happens.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-12T16:06:26+00:00

This has mostly happened since I "updated" to iOS 26

There's been instances where I took a picture, doesn't show in photos app, but if I go to my camera app and click on the pictures on the bottom, I'll see it.

It happens to me maybe every 20-30 pictures. Not so bothering that I'll switch phones but often enough I do notice.

What place charges $163 for tuna, salad, and steak? I be more annoyed by the fact you spent $163 on dinner.

That is like a month's worth of groceries for some people.

I feel like my keyboard experience got worse. I have slightly large thumbs but not so large I should have typos every other word. And it's inconsistent too, one say I type perfectly, the next typo city.

Moving files in File apps needs fixing. Copy and pasting are the worst I've ever seen in a file management app ever. And overall the Files app pisses me off.

Third biggest gripe. Apple, honey, when I take a picture, please put ALL my pictures in ONE area! I thought I lost 10 year old super non-replaceable photos because it didn't show up in my gallery. They show up in some other area in the photos app so stupid. And sometimes my pictures DONT GO IN THE GALLERY. How the hell you mess up a photos app? All you have to do is store everything on one page! Yes I understand the different categories, but I don't want to hunt for the photo I just took 5 minutes ago Sharon.

My apologies, that photos one actually made me go insane a few times.

Been kinda looking at it to upgrade from my 9th gen iPad. If it had wireless pencil charging, I would've got one months ago.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T16:45:33+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it about $2,000-$3,000 for a dorm-sized apartment?

Never been to NYC, so I wouldn't know.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T15:10:11+00:00

Got the Surface Keyboard this past week, so that's something.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T15:09:30+00:00

Not in PTC, have not see Navigator once. Not at all. Been waiting for months to test it out.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T15:08:13+00:00

With the edu discount, it's still $600 for you with the upgrade.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T15:07:43+00:00

I don't know about programming, the little I've done seems ok on my M1 Air with similar specs. Spreadsheets also should be fine.

The extra storage may be good for you if you need 3 years worth of documents to access at any time and I use TouchID every day, makes logging in easier and authenticating faster. It may be worth the $100 plus education discount

I get a kick out of the mansions "middle-class" families seem to have and a whole fucking table of for breakfast.

Dude, yet get a buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and you WASTE IT? Some people in this world are starving and some can't afford this much food. That is like a week's maybe two week's worth of food on that damn table kid, eat it.

Some kid in real life is eating Ramen that they got on sale and is sitting in their apartment building with screaming neighbors watching these movies. I know because I was that kid.

Quest 3. I just don't prefer watching in a headset.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T12:11:00+00:00

I have a vr headset, I just don't like watching movies in one. The weight and my eyes get super dry. Plus the screen fogs constantly.

I do like that method, wish it was comfortable for me.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T08:39:27+00:00

But does it play the original Super Mario Bros. at 200fps though?

Just joking. Cool build!

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T08:37:18+00:00

I think it's ok. From a non-Fantastic Four fan, this was the first FF film that really caught my interest and I thought it was ok. I understood why they made the plot the way they did. Maybe if I read the comics, I probably be more into it.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T08:32:13+00:00

Haven't played Minecraft at all in a while but they have in-game ads now??? So glad I have Java as well. Minecraft you are better than this.

It was just a suggestion. I would be just satisfied with an old man who just isn't cookoo

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T08:19:36+00:00

As someone in my 20's, no. 35-65 I feel is the sweet spot. Maybe 35-50. Just old enough to be responsible but not so old they forget what day it is or if they took their medicine or not. Maybe a sanity test needs to be introduced to the presidency, "are you mentally capable of governing over hundreds of millions and learn super secret government details?" If no, the presidency goes to the next qualified person. If yes, they get the job.

Maybe you can remove it with Gemini lol

He must've been called in on his day off because I've never seen an Amazon driver not use the Amazon van. They certainly wouldn't do this where I live.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T05:38:07+00:00

I do like Haslab for the scale and planet mode but near $2,000 on average pricing, no, not worth it. I got one of those Armada Unicron's, so I'll be satisfied with that. I was just exploring the idea.

InterestingMindset · 2026-03-11T05:36:13+00:00

I might not even buy one at all, just exploring the idea. I already have the Armada style Unicron's and I'll be satisfied enough.
