Keep seeing these 1" jesi pop up everywhere I go. They give me the willies and I would like to update them with the new improved version with more of a pop to it.
Anyone know where i can get them or is good with 3d printing design?
Video and clear pics of the lady are posted on fb. Not sure if posting pictures of people (even theives) without their permission is allowed on here. So not going to, but I will say a white newer Kia Soul with a red roof should be an easy car to pick out.
Stealing tips from teenagers is about as pathetic as you can get.
To be clear, I'm not condoning vigilante justice in any form, just making people aware so they don't get robbed.
2 years ago my wife and I began playing dnd with a group and one of the guys we play with and I have become best buds. He has never played any Metroid games and I'm a huge fan. So I told him we need to get together sometime and I can introduce him. Told him he can try it, see if he likes it, if not he can tell me it sucks.
​
Wednesday night he came over and his journey began.
​
Up front I asked him what he knew. He said I've seen "Samus" Like he wasnt sure if he as pronouncing it right (he was). And she has those big shoulders. I said knowing Samus is a "she" is a good start.
​
Do you know what metriods are? "No idea". Since we were starting with the 3rd game I let him know a bit of basic back story about the gf, spacepirates, mother brain, the metroid threat, the baby, etc. I do notnuse the word chozo I simply describe Zebes as a planet space pirates made a base at to breed metroids and it seems to have a ruined civilzation of bird like creatures. I limited it to info you would get by playing the first 2 games and kept explanations basic I explained that the first 2 games in the series is kinda rough but super is where the series really starts to shine. The visual recap when he started the game helped him visualize and recap what I explained.
​
Here's my commentary on his experience.
​
Title screen: "that's a metroid in the center there isn't it?".
​
I had him change his controller settings in the menu to what he would feel comfortable with. I did this to also give him an idea of what Samus could do and make him aware there was a run button ;)
​
Says "The metroid is missing"
​
He entered the Ridley room and kept trying to crouch to pick up the baby. Ridley appears on top of him. He goes, "OH no, I'm not ready!" He get a few shots in on Ridley before low health. Escapes successfully.
​
I let him know not escaping is the only real threat here.
​
The elevator leading to brinstar confused him because he didn't realize it was a elevator.
​
He gets morph and tries to shoot the eyeball, feels stuck trying to jump out. It takes him a while t figure out shooting he block but he getd it. Finds missles no problem but immediately wastes missles testing them out. I let him know red doors take 5 missles. He goes back through old mother brain. I tell him those guys are space pirates. After getting some missle drops he heads back down to see what's behind that door. Finds the missle expansion.
​
I notice he is firing at missle doors from a distance and let him know missle xplosuons do not hurt.
​
From here he's lost a bit he finds the map and sees the blue area leading to bombs and wants to get there but he tries getting there through the roof of the room leading to the map. He's got he right idea for how to look but is just checking the wrong area. He goes back to the ship a few times. He keeps trying to break the blocks at alcatraz but doesn't notice the open gap on the other side. Finally he sees it. He gets bt to the point of decapitation but dies. He keeps trying to jump over bt as bt walks back and forth. Second attempt he kills bt with low health and says "OH thank god" when he gets health drops.
​
He finds the bombable blocks to the left easily and I let him know bomb explosions dont hurt either. He plays around with bombs and figures out they give vertical movement.
​
In the early supers room he gets lost a while trying to bomb his way to the right. Then he genuinely surprises me when he tries running across the crumbles. He sees it works and resets the room to tries to beat the gate. I encourage him that he's figured out running but maybe he needs to be able to go faster. He gets the hint and decides to forget this room for now.
​
Map room he figures out the Grey doors lock behind him until he kills all enemies.
​
Fireflea room he figures out maybe he shouldn't kill every single enemy.
​
In big pink he goes up ignoring everything below. He enters spore spawn with low health from the keyhunters in the previous room. He has not saved since getting bombs so I drop a hint to roll in the corner. He fucking kills spo spo first try!!! It takes him 15 minutes but he does not die.
​
Figures out green doors. Realizes the block he bombed has a picture of a super on it. Back in big pink. Tries 5 supers on the yellow door to no avail. Says now he needs yellow missles, lol. Heading up again. Realizes he's already been here, heads down. Doesn't notice blocks leading to charge but figures out bombs propell him up to enter the gap.
​
Red tower confuses him. The gate won't let him escape and he can't jump to that ledge. He blows up the frog block and blows up the frog but is only bombing corners. He realizes the shape on those left blocks is something he doesn't have and sees the yellow door he doesn't know how to open anyway. He decides he wants to try bomb jumping to the ledge. It doesn't work but it does destroy the platform he's on. I think this hints to him that bombable blocks aren't only in corners and he goes down and finds progress.
​
At noob Bridge he fall through the first block so he tries going under and bombing then goes up top and runs across FIRST TRY. I know he figured out what to do with crumbles by playing around at early supers but I have him pause a minute while I explained the whole noob Bridge thing and how it has its own subreddit and its usually hard for first timers. He says he just ran because he thought those spikes were going to fall on him.
​
He makes his way to norfair. Enters the heated room and realizes his health is dropping. "Don't need to go in there". More speed gates. He outrun the first and feels trapped but finds the correct bomb block and gets out. Goes down and finds high jump. He then saves across from there and we call it a night. I ask if he's liking it and he says he loves it. I say "wait until you get to the good stuff" So we're planning another night for more. Being adults with kids and jobs these things require planning but I think we have a new fan on our hands.
​
Watching him reminds me of playing for the first time as a kid. It's one of those things you can only experienc for the first time once so I'm enjoying every minute of watching him play. I try not to spoil anything but do tell him enemy names and let him know if he gets frustrated I can offer hints.

The joke was that the flying kick would go on for a very long time and chase people around corners. I think they redid this gag every episode.
​
Also I have looked for a sub for finding tv shows but don't know the name. If this isn't allowed here please point me to the correct sub.
Loved it. Afterwards my best friend said it best. He said the whole movie made him feel like he was 10 years old again. I think that is about the highest praise any og motu fan can give.
Our group was shouting and cheering at the end reveal. My 13 yo loves She-ra and was literally happy crying.
They did an insanely good job in keeping to the characters and story. And this is what Eternia is supposed to look and feel like. I know technical limitations kept the 87 movie mostly on earth but even the bit of eternia they showed just felt badly off to me, even back then. This more than makes up for it.
The new movie both feels like a subtle apology and acceptance at the same time for what the old movie was and was not. Giving love and respect where it is due but making up for not being able to do what was impossible back then.
You can tell fans were involved in making it. I love that they leaned in to the silly names while giving an in universe reason for them. The thing they did best was how this movie lovingly embrasses it's world, blemishes and all. That is something almost no modern movie does. Usually they want to retcon or sterilize the older things that fans already love and accept.
I was glad to see the inclusion of pig boy and got to share with the group afterwards the significance since no one else in my group got the easter egg. I wish they had gotten Richard's Szponder to reprise, but oh well.
Hands down Man At Arms was my favorite. Elba really carried the beginning scenes with young Adam. Seeing his downfall and rise was incredible.
And Leto honestly did a very good Skeletor despite my personal dislike for the actor. I will say though, skeltor's eyes made me feel like a cat chasing a laser pointer. It may not feel that way on a smaller screen.
Our theater was over half empty although we did go on a Sunday night. I wish the movie had a bigger audience but it is 100% a win even if it isn't for everyone.
Several of you asked for an update from my earlier post*
We just ended our 2 year campaign. He summoned in a front giant daughter of a god who owed him a favor. It was a hard fight and lots of near deaths but a mass cure wounds and several potions of greater restoration kept us alive. Our barbarian had to behead Halister twice, lol.
This is my first campaign. Wish us luck.
I started singing: "He's a juice box hero, got cherry stars in his ice"
I was building boxes using this in the 90s way before design software was free / affordable. I still keep this handy for getting a box in the ballpark. Yes box software is nice and can give you way more info and accuracy. But sometimes you just want a rough quick answer to know what's possible and you hammer out the finer details when you are getting ready to actually build.
One slugged the other one. Now he's homeless.
Wanted to see rbf since the 90s. Never have. Live in Arkansas and rare to have any good shows nearby. Last night she was asking if we took a long trip would I be ok driving. Then she told me her plan. 18 hour drive, but man I am excited. See you rude boys and girls there.
Went to be with her and dad. The sermon was on Noah's ark. Pastor said he doesn't do mother's day sermons, Whatever. The point is I was really surprised by the sermon. I'll summarize the points he made.
I don't know why God thought humanity would be any less evil after he kills most of them off.
It doesn't make an my sense for a 500 year old man to build an ark.
Noah had no way of knowing how they were going to get all these animals together from all over the world. Many of them would have to cross oceans and desserts.
I don't even want to get into the dinosaurs (apparently he believes they were alive then)
I don't understand how that many animals could even fit on an ark this size, even stacked on top of each other
8 people working 24 hours a day would not be enough to manage the amount of animal feces produced over the 22 months
The 5 extra of each unclean animal would not provide enough food for the carnivores to eat and there would be no way to feed the herbivores for 22 months especially with he wide variety of plants and trees needed.
I don't know where all the water came from. As far as we know there isn't enough water in the ground and atmosphere to cover all the earth.
I don't know how Noah understood one of the birds not returning to mean that it found land, not that it had died.
After the pastor spent 30 minutes made all these points about how this story makes no sense and the more thought you put into it the more impossible it seems I thought he was about to tell everyone it's just made up story. I mean that's why he's making all these points right?
Instead this is the conclusion he gave.
"I don't need to understand it. I believe it because the bible says it happened". This got multiple "amen"s from the congregation and a legitimate jaw drop from me.
How was any of this message making that point?
How does anyone hear all that and it make them believe the story even more?
What was the point of emphasizing how it's completely impossible and makes no sense for 30 minutes just to end by saying he thinks it's true. He's arguing against his beliefs, not for them.
