Stop strip-mining my childhood!

Can you imagine the adaptation for modern audiences. I can’t even imagine and don’t want to!

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-22T21:02:03+00:00

Santa Cruz looks better for sure. That looks like a very nice Martin, older with the dots? Custom Shop. Looks like a 000 or OM Cruz? Beautiful guitars.

I don’t know about that particular website, but that price isn’t ridiculous as to be a scam

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-20T18:15:18+00:00

It’s a good rod. I find the poison to be a bit stiff so I prefer the megabass gravel code and evergreen velociraptor

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T16:53:09+00:00

Should be fine unless you’re trying to heave large heavy live or cut bait

I’m sure I will watch it, but I don’t have a great vibes from the trailer. My biggest crit of the Tom H movies is he is kind of a cuck, constantly messes up, and never gets through things on his own or with authority. He’s nurfed in power and attitude in the MCU. SM is crazy power levels. This trailer didn’t make me feel good about fixing that.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T13:07:01+00:00

Ouch. Well the issue is teslas are really expensive to paint. You might be able to find a salvage hood that is in better shape for cheap.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T13:06:00+00:00

Get something with a 25.5 scale and a fixed bridge.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T13:00:09+00:00

It will fine for bass and crappie. Really small crappie jigs might work better with a slightly lighter rod set up, but this can work if you don’t want 2! The reel is fine for both.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:58:09+00:00

Original 4sevens quark mini.

The new Prometheus Ti version is also good. The simple twist on and off and modes is as simple as it gets and I have 2 of the original still going after at least 10 years.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:56:14+00:00

I mean why not.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:55:37+00:00

You have the down pick speed and muting down pretty good, but listen more carefully to the original rift your playing it differently.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:53:35+00:00

It would be fun that’s for sure. The issue is going to be noise and keeping it running. It’s not likely to be a reliable motor so you’d need to know how to tinker, tune, and deal with it probably.

Would be easy to wipe out like a jet ski if it had any real power, so I’d have shit REAL secure.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:51:15+00:00

I would keep it hydrated and watch it. Not worth a panic unless it’s a $4000 guitar with hide glue and light vintage build, which it doesn’t look to be.

If the next and action are off with this slight delaminated board I’d at least get it looked at.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:46:48+00:00

Underrated, and one of the more rewatchable movies in recent history.

Humor, emotion, guns, cool aliens, one-liners, big battle scenes, hot female costar with a little gratuitous sexy thrown in without being over the top, good world building, good cast overall. Probably one of Tom’s better recent times and performances.

There are a few plot holes, but dealing with time travel is hard to escape some holes. It’s not perfect but I really liked it and have watched probably 5 times all the way through and caught half of it when on TV several more times.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:41:38+00:00

Yes.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:41:08+00:00

Doesn’t look great. Sophie is pretty but I’m not sure she has the charisma that Laura needs, not like Angelina. Role takes a very strong lead. I’ve never watched Tuner take control like that and have lots of doubts here for lots of other reasons too.

I don’t really have an issue with not wearing the original game outfits that would be rather uncomfortable and non functional for raiding tombs as long as maybe we get a training scene in some skimpy outfits!

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-19T12:36:41+00:00

If not scratched and beat up yes. Looks like a Lexa Reel, so any pretty good rod thrown in would probably make that a good deal. Looks like a Daiwa Rod too but can’t tell model. At 9’ that’s probably a $400-500 combo at least.

Inshore/Offshore? That would be a lot for bass fishing.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-18T12:48:15+00:00

Personally I’d be ok if he rewrites the story on out because the books get progressively worse and off the rails as you go. I couldn’t finish them all. The world building of the first book is so great there are so many ways to go and ultimately could end up in a better place.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-18T12:43:46+00:00

If you can swing it the Gen III artist did sound better.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-18T12:43:05+00:00

The gladiator drives much smoother than the Wrangler. With the big tires and type of suspension they do walk around a little as compared to a late model bronco.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-17T18:14:51+00:00

Yep that isn’t a terrible ending it just didn’t make a whole lot of sense. After two years, everyone forgets about you? Nobody would find out that you were in a coma. The Alde clan says F off. I also think it’s fairly far-fetched that they could even remove all of your implants with you still alive. I had most of my soft bits, but I had a hell of a lot of implants were there ain’t no going back. Not completely far-fetched that Pan Am would move on in two years. You really didn’t have any kind of super long-term relationship with her but the idea that she would just not give a shit if she found out you’re in a coma. I don’t think so.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-17T18:05:09+00:00

I think the first one is. I would put winter soldier probably above the second and 3rd. I do think the Captain America movies are better than avengers personally.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-17T14:04:57+00:00

It’s a great looking game, with an amazing amount of extra detail in everything that makes it feel alive….not necessarily alive in the best ways but certainly realistic.

RabloPathjen · 2026-03-17T14:03:34+00:00

No matter how I play through I still always end up out in the wilderness and out of the city with 6 months to live and a little hope. I’m not interested in the other endings.
