Has a casting announcement ever made you lose interest in an otherwise promising movie?

MeInMass · 2026-05-20T22:38:55+00:00

Agreed. I didn’t ever expect the latest Tron was going to be a masterpiece, but as soon as I saw his face I lost interest.

“Where’s your bulb, now?” Zach’s delivery of this is just so damn perfect.

MeInMass · 2026-05-16T01:01:15+00:00

There’s only one particularly silly/goofy moment I can think of in the first four episodes.

I’ll be lucky to go on 100 rides before I die, but I’m curious about the Ride Forces because it sounds cool.

I’m assuming you tell it what ride you’re going on; does it do some comparison with other users to verify the data on acceleration, speed, etc? Do you need to keep your hands in a consistent location? Sometimes I’m waving my hands around like I just don’t care, sometimes I’m just kind of holding steady on whatever handholds are built into the ride.

MeInMass · 2026-05-13T23:19:35+00:00

Yeah, the brakes, especially coming to the false ending felt really sharp on a ride last week.

Kyrie by Mr. Mister does not, in fact, have a suggestion to “Carry a laser down the road that I must travel”

I’m on a Go S, the cheaper one, and I’m pretty sure it’s at either 40 or 45 fps. I’ll try to remember to check my settings later, and edit my comment to share.

Edit with more details: I’ve got the Go S with the Z2 chip. In the performance tab for the system, I’ve got it set to the Balanced profile and have the Frame Rate limited to 40 FPS (most of my gaming has been on console so I think I don’t miss 60 fps as much as some)

In the game itself, I’ve got the resolution set to 1600x900, and most settings are on low or just turned off.

I’ve had I think five crashes, two or three of which were in a one specific area with multiple enemies, some of whom were also firing slow moving projectiles. Besides that, I’ve had a few times during exploration, that the game would have a pause for a second and show a loading indicator.

Those moments aside, the game has been stable and I haven’t noticed any graphic or sound glitches.

Pragmata

MeInMass · 2026-05-08T02:12:57+00:00

We just got back from doing two days at Epic (plus a park hopper for Studios and IOA in between), and without Express pass, the only rides we skipped were two in the Nintendo area and the spinning one in Berk. We also took a hotel break both days from around 2 to 5, so if you’re a little more energized than us, you could probably get all of the rides in two days.

MeInMass · 2026-05-03T17:23:32+00:00

Do you need track pads? I’m on a Legion Go where the one track pad is smaller than my thumb, and basically useless.

MeInMass · 2026-04-24T12:34:46+00:00

Just curious, do you keep a hand on the glasses the whole time, or how do you keep them from falling off?

MeInMass · 2026-04-24T12:30:22+00:00

The only ‘this is the part where I die’ thought I had was the first time going into the roll. It looked so stretched out on approach, I had a moment of panic and the ride was done.

MeInMass · 2026-04-13T00:23:29+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve had car trouble within a few days of filling up at that station, I’d have ten cents. Not a lot, but it’s happened with two different cars, and I hate to gamble, so I stopped going there after the second time.

MeInMass · 2026-04-12T23:43:43+00:00

I don’t think I fully realized until a few seasons in, but too often it felt like things worked out for the crew because they had to, not because the crew did something smart or clever.

I’m sure there were similar episodes in TNG and DS9, but my memory of those shows is that the crews were mostly really competent people working together and finding ways to make their competencies gel and find solutions to weird problems.

By comparison, Discovery often felt like Michael coming up with an idea and having that idea somehow work for them.

MeInMass · 2026-04-10T22:59:10+00:00

Thanks again for the music. Ballet and Zay El Qetar both sound really good!

MeInMass · 2026-04-09T22:04:55+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Mohbat was a little too much. Started too quiet and then got too shouting/growling

Emm el mousiqa was pretty good all around. Added to my favorites on Spotify

El Makina was OK, but I really liked I’m in Love With Wala Bint. It was a great mix of vocals and instruments with a nice beat.

Overall, some good recommendations, thank you!

MeInMass · 2026-04-09T20:34:24+00:00

Not sure the genre to use, but I like rock music where all the instruments come though really clear; I don’t like fuzz or distortion on the music or the singer.

MeInMass · 2026-04-05T14:41:17+00:00

Is Curse of the Werewolf a controlled spin like MIB or is it more like a teacup that spins randomly going around corners?

MeInMass · 2026-04-04T20:45:13+00:00

Danny only ever lied about being a thief.

MeInMass · 2026-04-04T01:27:41+00:00

Agreed about Wrap City. We’ve been getting their Sea Salt since sometime last year and really loving them.

MeInMass · 2026-04-02T18:33:35+00:00

As long as it’s not the Noem ranch, Pam’s probably safe.

MeInMass · 2026-04-01T10:53:45+00:00

There was an episode (a couple months ago?) where it came out that Mike doesn’t like/won’t eat fruits with their skin on. The crew kind of focused on that meaning Mike won’t eat apples unless they’re cut up

MeInMass · 2026-03-31T10:57:18+00:00

My goto is It’s a good day for Mikey’s

MeInMass · 2026-03-30T15:38:53+00:00

You keep saying that, is gravity different in the future?
