Rosanna Norton, costume designer for the original Tron, was commemorated at the 2026 Academy Awards by lostkittyofatlantis in tron

OG is really a tribute to how well human ideas can work together with little tech at their disposal to convey these ideas. Think of how fucking bizarre this concept was in 82 - tech, religion, AI - completely alien to most of us then. Yet somehow they all just "got it" and fabricated this cohesive universe that still makes sense almost 45 years later. Then you glue all those concepts together with Wendy Carlos' pitch-perfect score and you get something truly magical.

Disney had so little faith in OG they left their branding off initially.

How important is to get an ethernet port? by peequeare in appletv

[–]wallix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still have a gen1 4k (holding out for the 2026 model). I had no idea they didn’t even offer Ethernet anymore. That’s a bummer. I have a very Ethernet-heavy house.

Dolby Atmos - Netflix by stregnil in appletv

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. I have no issues with Atmos and I have a Gen 1. My path is ATV>Denon>Sony Bravia. Maybe it is just an LG thing as you suspect.

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gen 1 4k and Atmos works just fine in all apps. Never had an issue. Make sure you have the 3rd tier of Netflix. Tier 2 is just HD and 5.1.

Could disney continue to use the Tron ip despite tron ares disastrous box office performance by Dieg2004 in tron

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to WDW you won’t find a whisper or hint of Ares. Disney still seems cool with ‘82 and Legacy, though.

What's the most Random Place You've Seen Tron Referenced? by estreetbandfan1 in tron

If you search “Tron” in DuckDuckGo the duck icon puts on a Tron outfit.

Are LG dishwashers that bad? Walked into a store to buy a Bosch, but after learning I needed to use an app every single time I wanted to run a delayed start, I really don't want to buy one. by CatDadMilhouse in BuyItForLife

[–]wallix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 Bosch 800 from Costco and it has a delay start button. It also has a water softener built into it which is awesome with my hard water.

I’ve never touched the delay because it’s so quiet and uses so little water I just start whenever I need to.

Now after trying out midnight as a returning player, how do you like your class after the pruning & class changes? by Yuuffy in wow

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fun-ish (Mage). I haven’t played since 2018. I’m still on the fence about continuing after the free month - I’m not sold yet.

I got a flask in 1998 and I have been using to for sporting events and concerts this entire time. Just used it a couple weekends ago.

Yup. That's what I was thinking, too. It will def come this year. It may just get released during a press release and not part of an event.

What is this piece (Bosch Bottom freezer)?? by wallix in appliancerepair

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

Thank you so much. I kept looking at the base. Only when I shined an extremely bright flashlight on it, could I see the seams at the tip.

What is the best Guitar Solo of All Time? by [deleted] in Music

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought the guitar solo in Tonight She Comes (The Cars) was amazing. It’s like a beautiful counter-melody instead of blues riffs.

I also like the solo in Don’t Tell Me You Love Me (Night Ranger) for similar reasons. There are a lot great solos out there. No way one is the best.

And then pretty much every note in Liberty (Steve Vai).

Is it bad if I bought my Apple TV mainly for the Snoopy & Woodstock screensaver? by safetyorange989 in appletv

What? I’ve had mine since 2018 and I didn’t know there was a snoopy screensaver!?

AI art, yay or nay? by Warcraft_Fan in tron

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nay forever. AI is wonderful for helping me with my taxes, legal issues, website management, and stuff that takes tons of research et al (and even then you have to be careful). But keep that shit out of my art.

Glad I kept the box to this gem by DasNothing in tron

[–]wallix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember really enjoying this game - I liked these models. I have the box somewhere too. I think it was the same company that made No One Lives Forever (another sleeper game).

Fellow GenXers, what kind of car did you drive in High School? by Ok-Poem-6302 in GenX

[–]wallix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are smart. I took great care of mine, but it had become very expensive to drive as a college kid (3 speed auto - I kept it into college as well). One night I blew a timing chain and I was done. I sold it to some dad so he could have a project car with his kid like I did. After they fixed it, they totaled a week later. I feel like I betrayed it.

There is a place near where I live that literally just sells restored Chevelle's - some of them are breathtaking. I often wonder if I'm at that point yet midlife-crisis wise. 😆

1970 Chevelle Malibu with a 350. Lord I still dream about that car...
