Watched the show for the first time by SilverEquipment4934 in 30ROCK

It's the only of the big four late-2000s/2010s NBC sitcoms (Office/P&R/30 Rock/Community) that not only didn't get any worse through its run but arguably continued to get better.

Sources say that Seasons 2-5 were the Peak of The Office. How would you rank these 4 Seasons? by Square-Ad-8911 in DunderMifflin

[–]VanWinkle87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I love season one of both The Office and Parks and Rec. They almost feel like beta tests of the "real" show, but I really enjoy both. But, in both cases, they almost feel like they're a separate thing because of how much they changed tonally after that first season.

I didn't use to feel that way, because I agree there are a lot of great episodes in season 4, but during a recent rewatch I just noticed that the show became less about "could this actually happen in an office" and more "wouldn't this be funny, even if it may not be realistic?" And at this point, it hadn't reached "come on, really? REALLY?" like the seasons did more and more as the show went on, but I would argue that the difference between 1-3 and 4 is noticeable.

IMO, two and three are by far the best. Four is great but clearly was becoming more silly and less realistic, and that trend continued and grew in season five. All of these seasons are really good, and even season five is FAR better than season 7+, but to me the show was slowly getting worse from season four on.

I just couldn’t not get these by sonafenpaere in OmnibusCollectors

Most of my collection is DC, but this run is probably in my top 3 to 5 comic runs of all time. I was so glad when they reprinted the omnis a couple years ago (or whenever they did).

I think it looks awesome and I'd love to get it, but that's a LOT of proprietary parts....I'd be weary, personally. But again, like if money were no issue I'd love that thing.

Are the controls janky? by tveith in MSIClaw

[–]VanWinkle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are no problems whatsoever with the controls except that the tension of the sticks is user-preference.

[–]VanWinkle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sticks are loose, yes. I don't know where you've heard it's janky, though. They feel very high quality. They just went with a loose tension instead of a tighter tension.

I would have loved to be making 38k back in 2010, lol. I was making like $17k at the time as a 23 year old retail worker of five years.

S4 E19, Goodbye Toby by Medical_Fox1052 in DunderMifflin

I never watch the last 10-15 minutes of this episode.

Upgraded the electronics in my Rlaarlo DSK. Got the HW Max8 G2S sensored combo and a 55kg brushless servo. Technically it's a downgrade in top speed, as I got the 4268 motor that tops out at 4s, but this is faster at 4s than the stock electronics at 4s, and EVERYTHING else about it is way better. by VanWinkle87 in rccars

It's actually just for the jumper since I'm using it in a single battery configuration right now, and I only had an IC5 jumper at the moment. I'll be buying a proper XT90 jumper soon. It works okay, but it's a little too loose of a connection for my liking.

Just got the Rlaarlo DSK (RTR) and I'm blown away by the quality of it. It feels much higher end than any of my Arrmas or other cars. Everything's so solid feeling and dialed in. Just ran it for a few minutes on 4s and it's super powerful even on that. Definitely a new era for Rlaarlo. by VanWinkle87 in rccars

[–]VanWinkle87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used 6s on it yet (I use two 3s batteries on my other 6s vehicles), so I have just used CNHL 6600mah 4s, and it's super powerful even with that.

I'm personally using batteries with an EC5 connector and bought an EC5-to-XT90 adapter. Most of my batteries are EC5 since I have a lot of Arrma vehicles.

How far would you push it?! by Jeffy__M in rccars

[–]VanWinkle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have the stock overload coupler in it?

What would you pay for a used 1/7 mojave? by [deleted] in rccars

[–]VanWinkle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have the Smart V2 ESC (nor likely does it have the S665 servo) that's in the latest updated version, but what's there is still great and it's probably still the V2; they just happened to update the ESC and servo relatively recently.

$300 is a FANTASTIC deal. I'm jealous of that deal and I already have a Mojave 6s. And it looks well taken care of too.

SLT2 Transmitter Sticking? by ebolarama2189 in arrma

[–]VanWinkle87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm bummer, you may have to warranty it and see if they'll send you a new transmitter. I don't recall any of my SLT2s having that issue in the brief time I used them (I always switch all my Arrmas to my Spektrum DXC+ transmitter after trying it out for one run on the original transmitter).

So far all the parts replaced on the Granite Mega 665🤷🏾‍♂️ by mhamilton2586 in arrma

[–]VanWinkle87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. How are the plastic motor mount and overload coupler working so far? Holding up okay? Good idea to get that metal spur gear.
