I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

  • Budget isn’t really pinned down to a number. I don’t need anything top end so probably several hundred USD max ideally?

    Usage is mostly internet. Background picture in picture for YouTube/Twitch would be great. I use apps to do banking and pay bills. Snapchat, email, and Google Suite are needed. Text/call and a web browser are given. I do occasional photography so a basic HD camera would be needed.

    I use my phone most waking hours, even passively to play music while working or driving.


  • The show excelled at creating tense situations where you would worry if the characters will survive (except for the child soldier planet episode), but the characters were generally not engaging enough for me to really care. The kids all were obviously going to survive because Disney wouldn’t kill kids, but if they were adults or droids then that would be better at delivering tension for the audience. Jod was the most interesting, but his true malice couldn’t shine with the kids’ PG-rating armor. The reveal of the planet being ruled/powered by one robot without any redundant systems felt too familiar and trite with Disney’s The Marvels and even She-Hulk both within recent memory.

    Wim upturned an entire planet’s way of life, probably got some innocent people killed, and possibly crashed the galactic economy. That’ll teach the audience the right lesson about wanting to go on an adventure.


















  • What scene is this comment meant to be referencing? The only scene I can think of with R2-D2 and a conveyor is the droid factory in AotC, but that line isn’t said in there. I would think the trash compactor scene from ANH would be more apt for the photo, but there is no conveyor in there. Or because this was posted in “a group where everyone pretends to be stupid”, is the commenter intentionally making up a quote and I’m just being gaslit via Asch Experiment analog into thinking that I don’t know Star Wars?
