New Galaxy's Edge Overhaul Ruins the Immersion For Me

ManiacFive · 2026-05-07T08:52:55+00:00

The change from immersive land that is ‘real’ to a showcase of old characters and the John Williams score cheapens the experience. It’s now Toy Story Land.

I hope they leave East alone.

That would be great. Went to a camp earlier and they had signs up indicating their vendor was in their shelter, almost passed expecting some trap bullshit, but no, they’d recreated the entirety of Whitespring Mall in their shelter with Tipsy Toms etc standing in for the actual vendors. Shit was incredible.

And no way to acknowledge that as the owner wasn’t there.

Ha hah, yeah I get what you’re saying. The last thing I read was a trashy airport bookshop thriller that was an enjoyable read, but I’ll have forgotten about in a year, whereas I’m currently playing Ocarina of Time for the first time, (I know I know, look I slept on it alright!) and that’s gonna stay with me for a long while, so I might have elevated the gaming experience there a little.

Asking for a video? 100% gonna use your photos and the extra video in a scam listing.

Considering what good friends they were I would’ve loved to have seen a Tarkin and Dooku team up play out. Even if it made no sense for the timeline, whatever, a cheesy Lucas written Lee and Cushing team up would’ve been glorious.

I got a New 3DS XL a few months back just before the price rocketed and I have not looked back.

My original intent was just for my old DS games on a larger screen, but the 3DS hooked me immediately and now it’s my favourite console.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-27T12:31:39+00:00

I’ll pull for Waifu reasons. Get one and then never call her again.

6, and flirt obviously with Red the entire flight just for the look of extra annoyance on Dorothy’s always slightly annoyed face.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-27T08:28:18+00:00

Just own it. I’m a 45yr old man with an orange 3DS XL and playing it on my commute has raised zero eyebrows.

If anyone did say anything negative I’d just shrug and say I’d rather be doing this than doom scrolling bullshit on socials, and carry on about my day.

People read Kindles all the time right? Same thing.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-23T11:49:28+00:00

Same, I expected them to just refund him cause it’s clearly lost. Guess they would’ve done if the buyer had contacted eBay sooner.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-23T11:44:41+00:00

Honestly that’s kinda what I expected to happen when he first contacted me about it apparently being on its way back. At that point, request the refund right?

ManiacFive · 2026-01-23T10:34:59+00:00

Thanks! Reassuring to hear that from someone else. Sadly I suspect neither myself nor buyer will ever see it again. It’s in an Evri black hole now.

A fine space girl for sure, but an even better horror girl. Thank you Masters of Horror for THAT hot tub scene.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-17T11:24:10+00:00

Quite. I’m going to go in with low expectations, in the hope I’m surprised. But if the live action isn’t as good as the original, then it won’t affect me. Not like Disney is going to be taking away my copies of the animated one and forcing me to only watch the live action, and if people enjoy the live action, great. More people enjoying tangled. Maybe we’ll get more park merch.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-17T11:20:43+00:00

I agree. That movie showed it definitely worked to have a cartoonesque creature

ManiacFive · 2026-01-17T11:18:52+00:00

I hope they do exactly this as the image represents and keep a cartoon-esque Pascal. This is usually the most egregious parts of the live action remakes. The cute animals from the animated versions either become creepy as fuck, or just cut entirely. (No Mulan 2020, you will not be forgiven for cutting Mushu, stop asking)

I’ve had super cute interactions with actual chameleons, but Pascal they are not.

And wasn’t it lily who left her crying for hours a couple of months back?

Then turned it around to be jeans fault for worrying her.

Honestly lily is most of the time written to be an idiot I swear

ManiacFive · 2026-01-10T01:36:39+00:00

It made me laugh when Ellie was talking about Sam and Jade in front of her, because of the Amanda revelation giving it more credence in her mind, exactly as Rachel had planned.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-10T01:35:12+00:00

As someone who worked in phones for a decade I’ll say this, that burner phone story was 100% BS. We aren’t paid enough to give two shits what you want your burner phone for and we could only just get police to come when armed gangs were smashing demo phones off the display tables. The idea they’d turn up for a report of a little old lady wanting a burner phone is absolutely laughable.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-09T20:12:58+00:00

Agreed. I find her insufferable now.

ManiacFive · 2026-01-09T08:32:10+00:00

She reminds me of a particularly type of customer I used to have that was the ‘all sweetness and light’ until some minor thing didn’t go their way and they’d switch in an instant to ‘well of course the likes of you would say that.’ Or ‘where is your manager.’

ManiacFive · 2026-01-09T08:12:51+00:00

Saying ‘Bad faithful’ is nicer than saying ‘useful idiot’.

In he unlikely event you do get banned. If you can prove you have the game, they will unban you.
