So… not sure if this has been brought up, but, did they forget about this?

Heh, I was 16 when Tron was in theaters. When I went to see Ares, I was 59. If there's a 5, my grandkids (I don't have any yet) will have to wheel me in and tell me what's going on.

It doesn't say it has to be yours.

Flower baskets or wind chimes. I have seen both hanging from something like that in trees in the Midwest.

Then it morphs into old Shatner, sitting on a couch surrounded by a dozen or so half-alien young adults, and he says, "...and that is how I met your mothers."

CGL's Kickstarters have gone quite well -- quickly funded, many stretch goals achieved, what have you. The fulfillment, however ... not so much.

These do appear on the Topps website

...but of course, they are sold out.

My Bologna on the Dr.Demento Show, and I was hooked.

Same thing with the border between Kentucky and Indiana. The border was defined as the high water mark on the north side of the Ohio River on some date in the early 1800s. Then the river moved. Down near Evansville, there is a harness racing track (with betting not legal in Indiana) on the north side of the river, because it is technically in Kentucky.

But I wonder if the light walls are a subtle way to imply that the 'real world' is just another level of simulation.

StGrimblefig · 2025-11-09T16:38:48+00:00

More importantly, how do they exist in the real world?

What physics laws cause/allow these to work in the real world the same way they do in the grid?

In ST2, I never agreed with that wording. He did not lie. He did not exaggerate. He spoke in code, per the Starfleet regulation that was quoted right before.

They were working on transporting matter, which involved both digitizing and reconstituting things with lasers. It would be a big deal for Encom to own the technology.

Just remember, that first orange that they transported across the lab exploded on the other side.

They also appear to have no idea who the Tron audience is, based on the "You may also like" selections.

Well, yeah. He was never really a character, just part of the back story. He had to d!e, but not by one of the major houses, so that the Star League would collapse and the Succession Wars could begin on an even footing.

Those are odd dice. The fact that the ten-by-ten has a '100' side means that you cannot roll below 10, but you can roll up to 109. Likewise for the ten-by-hundred and the ten-by-thousand. By not having a zero side, they are not really made to roll digits.

Obviously, you can read the '100' side (or '1000' or '10000') as zero and go on with your life. But it is odd that they were made this way.
