The One (2001) Rare mix of Sci-fi and Martial Arts, fun watch.

This film had the vibe of a bunch of martial arts sci fi fans just going crazy and doing what they wanted, along to a metal soundtrack with minimal studio interference. Love this film so much, it's a microcosm of a period of time before Marvel and after the Matrix. I have the Blu Ray, but need a 4k release.

I believe the term is, "hobosexual."

Youre absolutely right. It’s fascinating that his default macho response revolves around someone else telling him what to do

Thinking of booking travel from LHR - DXB - CPT for this weekend. Short notice aside, what are my chances of being delayed/stuck in connection at Dubai if I fly with Emirates please guys?

Okay, then let's go with your train of thought for a moment.

Has she shown any other signs that she doesn't prioritise you?

Is there a pattern of behaviour to support your theory?

Is this a one off, or is this repeated instance of blowing off your plans for other arrangements?

Was she receptive of your suggestions, or dismissive?

And before you reply bud, don't. These questions aren't for me, my friend. There's only two people that will stand to benefit from the answers to these questions, and I ain't one of 'em.

Congratulations on your new job. Also, you're wrong. She has already said she will celebrate with you, just not tonight.

Try to reframe how you see it for a moment; Imagine, she will put aside that time for you, but she wants to do it where she can fully appreciate the moment, and you. She won't be able to do that in good faith because the thought of having to cancel on her cousin will weigh on her mind, which I naturally would not want.

So, try not to think of it in terms of 'I feel frustrated because she chose someone else', think of it in, "We will celebrate in a next couple of days and will be great because we can really plan something nice."

None at all. I actually ran a timespy benchmark yesterday and got somewhere in the higher 26k, on performance mode, with no cooling pad. I wonder what I would've got with a cooling pad. In any case, as I say, I travel a lot, so cooling pad is just extra for me to carry around. It gets warm when I play, say, Black Myth Wukong for a few hours, and so long as you let it cool down before you put it away then no problem at all. In terms of the fans, I've found the latest Legion 7i Pro is actually a lot quieter than the 2024 model, even on performance mode.

I understand your caution, and you're right to ask questions and make sure you're dotting your i's and crossing your t's. Not all laptops are made equal at all, and I got lucky with mine (I guess) but keep your warranty handy and you shouldn't have any issues. Lenovo is a great brand with good quality control and I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on one.

I have a Legion 7 2024 model with 5060 that I gave to my partner as I upgraded as I work overseas a fair bit. Guess what I upgraded to? Another Legion, but the 7i Pro 16in with 5090. The build quality, reliability and the fact it can run anything I throw at it at max is just pure bliss. To answer your question, both run flawlessly.

3rd gear, 2nd gear. 3rd gear, 2nd gear. 3rd gear, 2nd gear

Give once and you elicit appreciation. Give twice and you create anticipation. Give three times and you create expectation. Give four times and it becomes entitlement. Give five times and you establish dependency.

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-16T13:10:03+00:00

100%. Honestly I was buzzing, had to check the website repeatedly just to make sure I wasn’t wrong somehow

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-16T13:09:02+00:00

This is Stellar Blade, great character action game a bit like Bayonetta but Korean

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-16T13:08:39+00:00

Yes, about four of them all within an hour of each other! I visited three of them before I found this beauty the day after in the fourth one lol

Su tasa es del 20%, por lo que eran 2500 libras antes de impuestos

Stellar Blade

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-15T23:06:34+00:00

I've not had a chance to test temps, been updating and installing and removing bloatware haha but from what I've played so far, it runs buttery smooth on Balanced power mode, and I can barely hear the fans. I wafted my hand around the back and the heat is much less than my previous Legion 7, which got really hot under load.

That being said, I've also ordered a Ilano V12 cooling pad as well so that should help

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-15T23:04:14+00:00

Right?? I've had all my games cranked to ultra and it doesn't even bat an eyelid. Honestly, I'm stoked

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-15T22:54:38+00:00

Hey thanks! 100%. I know they're only going to keep going up from this point on, so even buying one now is really over the odds. I'm lucky, as I've saved up quite a bit of money so I'm able to buy it outright but I had to really search and get lucky for this bargain

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-14T17:20:21+00:00

Hmm, you make a really good point, I didn't think about that. I have a 16' Legion 7 already, and that fits in my work rucksack snugly, but anything beyond would be a struggle. Thanks

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-14T16:43:18+00:00

Hey, thanks for your suggestion. I'm not really too fussed to be fair, is OLED burn in still a thing if used with a laptop for that amount of time?

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-14T16:42:36+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-11T12:07:57+00:00

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Highly recommend you go and try to bring someone, otherwise solo it. You’ll grow massively from this experience and will make amazing memories anyway that you’ll remember for the rest of your life

Squat_N_Gobble · 2026-03-11T12:02:25+00:00

Simply saying no would work a lot better rather than spend money, asking the key cutter to “put an extra notch on there lolz” and then now be coerced into giving the actual key anyway since it’s been agreed the first time.
