Last post by Alex - March 31, 2026, 03:27:00 PMThe stuff I collect is a rather awkward scale, 1:56 which is a terrible scale for gaming and I truely do not understand why it has become the most popular size. I could have understood it more if it'd been at the same scale as the most popular model railways for getting terrain and buildings.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Dr. Whom - March 31, 2026, 02:38:36 PMThe Hunt for Red October (1990)
Having recently made a podcast about the real life mutiny that was one of the inspirations of the movie, I'd thought I'd check it out.
The Hunt for Red October belongs to a now extinct genre that some call 'competence porn'. A group of men (this kind of movie is almost exclusively populated by men) deals with an unexpected emergency and/or resourceful enemy in a skillful and efficiënt way. There are no unsolved traumas, love stories, emotional backstories, subplots or even much comic relief. Just a bunch of guys calmly dealing with the matter in hand, with nobody being extra stupid to make the movie happen. This is a great example if you like this sort of thing (and I do).
This was done in the pre-CGI days, so you get a lot of actual hardware and practical effects (and some improbable but fun submarine combat). Did people really smoke that much in Soviet submarines?
In case you're interested in the real life Soviet mutiny (which was a lot more chaotic), some shameless self promotion: https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/mutiny-on-the-storozhevoy/

in england this is a pie
We have that kind of pie here too. I've never eaten it, though.
okay so if someone said "let's go for a pie" you'd assume they meant let's go for a pizza?
If I was in the Northeast and/or among people of Italian descent I would. Anywhere else, I'd think they were very strange individuals.

The girl on now, most people seem to hate.Quote from: HappyGilmore on March 31, 2026, 12:37:00 PMQuote from: Trevor on March 09, 2026, 10:10:37 AMSerena Southerlyn, LAW AND ORDER.What?
Never liked her at all,the first Mary Sue character in L&O. In one episode called Shangri La she solves the case before the police by asking for yearbooks.
Good actress but not a good character.
Quote from: Trevor on March 31, 2026, 01:09:35 PMThink it's a combination of the actor just not being any good and the writing. It's a kids show, so I don't expect great acting. But it's the only time I've wanted one of the monsters to just toss him off a cliff.Quote from: HappyGilmore on March 31, 2026, 12:38:05 PMDax, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. I've never wanted to punch somebody more. And he's one of the good guys.

Last post by Rev. Powell - March 31, 2026, 01:13:25 PM"Pizza pie." It's mainly slang used in the US Northeast, where there are a lot of Italian immigrants.
