  • I suspect there is a lot one could glean from the story on a personal level, but after having finished it I didn't feel like I have learned anything new about the world, society or myself. It's highly possible that I missed the point or moral of the story they were going for. It was definitely an experience to remember though.

  • I love this movie, but I feel like it is more of an art project than a compelling story. But it is worth watching for the cinematography alone.

    Here's some notable highlights.

    I wish this image could be larger... Here it is on imgur so you can expand it. https://i.imgur.com/DddifXR.jpg

  • Yours looks different, but the model looks identical. Did you paint this yourself? I like the more raggidy look as that is pretty much how it was in the show as it always gets beat up.

    I had to put on a handful of parts, but I wouldn't call what I got a "model kit" as it is 95% preassemble and painted.

  • Absolutely. Not only does it easily come off the stand, but it has many moving parts such as landing gear with wheels, foldable wings and even a light up engine. I've yet to get the 3 button cell batteries required to power it though.

  • Except it's like... completely centralized and controlled by a single entity? Absolutely absurd if you ask me.

  • Not enough people have heard of and read The Quantum Magician so I will continue to recommend it. It's quite the wild ride.

    The Quantum Magician

  • Mainly because signups were closed on Lemmy.ml and they were not on Lemmy.world.

  • I thought it was pretty funny. Maybe it is an easier problem to solve for Solar Opposites than Rick and Morty, but I like the way they did it. Replacing a voice actor can always be jarring, but this is a funny way to do it.

  • I feel like you read my mind. I was just having this same thought the other day while driving. In the Star Trek universe humans are this very diverse group of people with all kinds of attributes and feelings and desires. Then you get to the Klingons or the Vulcans and somehow they are practically homogenous culturally, emotionally and in beliefs. I find that extremely unrealistic. There are different Klingon factions, but I can't even comprehend what their problems are with each other because they all believe the same things and have the same goals.

    I still love Star Trek though. I just wish alien species were more than plot devices.

  • The cliffhangers are quite blatant. Are they worried people will just stop watching if the main character isn't in the middle of jumping off something? This level of cliffhangerness seems kind of outdated. Thankfully I am patient so it doesn't matter too much.

  • I should really watch Babylon 5 sometime. Instead I keep rewatching old Star Treks. Maybe this new animated production will convince me to watch the previous TV series. Assuming you don't need to have seen everything for this to make sense.

  • Nice work. There is just something seriously wrong with some people. Working retail in general is a nightmare. Both because of co-workers and customers.

  • And then there is "The End of Eternity" and "Death's End" which is about year 700,000+ and some indeterminate billions of years later respectively. Things get arbitrary very fast when you get to those absurdly distant futures.

  • That definitely sounds interesting to me. I'll give that a watch.

  • That is a impossible endeavor. There are countless "news" sites that all push this kind of drivel. If it is anything like YouTube It probably doesn't even care about your suggestions anyway. I select that I'm not interested in something all the time on YouTube and then they just keep recommending the same channel or the same genre of content.

  • I have a Pixel 4a because I refuse to spend more than $200 on a phone. The battery is starting to not last very long so either I am going to replace the battery or get a Pixel 6a for $200. I'd really prefer to not need a new phone because I like the headphone jack.

  • I recently read Artemis by Andy Weir, but the protagonist had so much teenage angst that it was difficult to finish despite its short length. I'll have to try one of his more popular books instead.

  • I completely agree and love The Expanse. It's more character driven than I prefer, but it is still in my top 10 for sure.

  • I suspect it is more along the lines of a new game heavily using some feature that wasn't as commonly used and then Nvidia going back to optimize it.
