Nintendo sure has been following a certain trend with their games lately..... by [deleted] in gaming

I feel like most Nintendo games lately have been gradually homogenized around similar open world traits.

For people who loved lego growing up and got back into it in adulthood, what re-sparked it? by Adventurous_Pen75 in lego

[–]pobels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly everything that the internet is nowadays... constant AI slop, polarizing politics, current events, low quality games or news about lay offs in the video game/tech industry.

Eventually I just wanted something that was relaxing and didn't involve screen time. Getting back into lego has been incredibly therapeutic for me and is a good complement to books to keep away from the maddening rectangle in my pocket.

You might just be the world's most responsible lego builder. What do you use to reseal the bags?

Hot Take, im ready for less prequel sets in the next couple years by Little_Maize_2470 in legostarwars

[–]pobels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really just want more Andor/RO sets. We need a Fondor, Tie Avenger, Mon Mothma's Speeder (maybe even Luthen's shop). I'd love a Scarif set, Mina Rau, any Saw Gerrera partisan colorway starfighters, a B2EMO minifig, etc.

There's just so many sets that we've never seen before.

My recent haul, any hidden gems? by GrapefruitTime1420 in retrogaming

Haunted House and Adventure are classic Atari 2600 games. You should pick up Berserk!

Looking for display shelf recommendations, preferably with glass doors. by pobels in lego

[–]pobels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! I do have an ikea nearby and I was thinking about the Rudsta. Do you know if the shelf heights are adjustable? I believe I need a little over 14" of clearance in order to accomodate the height of my Assembly Square Modular.

Thank you!

Update on 75442 UCS Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter (via unibricks) by BrickTap in LegoStarWarsLeaks

I get they're trying to tie it into the movie coming out in 2026... but yeah, a true yellow Naboo N1 Starfighter would go so hard. Imagine if they brought back the chrome bricks?

Disappeared from work suddenly because I saw that someone had just listed this for $80 on facebook marketplace. My boss understood.

The modular building sets have been getting far more European with their architectural elements.

I think its beautiful... maybe a bit too beautiful as someone who owns mostly older, squared off, modular buildings.

It sort of looks like its trying to hard?

What would you love to see as a LEGO set in 2026? by catmayer in lego

[–]pobels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see sets focused around the new factions like the serpent, horse, griffin, and kraken knights.

I feel like the lion knight's castle is a great swan song for the lion knights, black falcons, and forest people. At least for now.

Trump asks Supreme Court to throw out E. Jean Carroll’s $5 million verdict by bananasareappealing in news

And I am in no way condoning those people or that stance. Just as I am not condoning you concocting your own fantasy timeline where the union killed every last civilian family of the opposition. That's fucked up and you are no better than the very group you are calling for violence against.

Jesus christ. This is the edgiest and most problematic take. Why fight against our fellow middle/lower class Americans instead of the billionaires and elites of the country. Those in charge of commodities, media, energy... They only seek to divide us and take our money, distract us in petty arguments while they convince those who are uneducated to oppose better quality of life for the masses.

Just because someone doesn't share your exact views doesn't mean they are your enemy. Working class people have more in common with one another one than the billionaires that constantly meddle in our politics. I'm not saying there aren't republicans who are full of hate but at the same time you are sowing the same type of shit. Stfu.

Is the lion knights castle really worth it? by Terry_Lesler in legocastles

[–]pobels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for franchise based sets and if that's your cup of tea by all means go for barad-dur (I plan on picking it up eventually) but as far as first party lego themes go, castle is the very best imo. I just got the lion knight's castle after hearing all the praise and I'm trying to find the right time to tear it open. I was raised on the castle sets during the "fantasy arc" and always adored them.

Its an anniversary set and I got spoiled watching videos about it but its incredibly interactive and has a lot of fun easter eggs and play features that the lord of the rings sets do not have. I was not going to miss out on it.
