We ended up seeing this movie last night in IMAX. I highly recommend Project Hail Mary!  It is one of the best movies we have seen in many many years. 

Fly Me to the Moon was also really high up there.

I highly recommend Project Hail Mary - no spoilers for everyone yet lol  :great:

My Daughter and I looked into the Pokopia game, but it is not available for the Switch. It is a Switch 2 exclusive. They are making it that way on purpose because they are wanting to motivate you to get a Switch 2. I think they are going out on a limb making some drastic changes to a franchise that has been their bread and butter. It is also a Key-Card download. Or it was when we were interested. That alone killed any interest we had. (cough)I am retired, fixed income.(cough) $70 for a game? The cost of admission alone just to play that one game? Or any other $70 Switch game? I don't see myself with a Switch 2 anytime in the near future. I'd rather focus on my Evercade vs-r.

With that being said. The game looks interesting to me. It would be interesting to see the response from the pokemon fan community. My Daughter did not like the abandonment of the 3/4 view of a standard pokemon game.

The game seems to be digging a little deeper into RPG elements mixed with Animal Crossing and a few other games. I would like to see how they make all of this work together.

you know, there are decent titles launched for the Nintendo Switch 2 @targetrasp.  I find myself not wanting to buy them right now and technically only have 2 Nintendo Switch 2 games so far. The vast Majority are Nintendo Switch 1 games.  Part of that is due to backlog.  For example, Donkey Kong Bonanza is a pretty fun game... I've played it.  However, do I want to buy it right now?  No because of backlog and also price.

Pokémon Pokopia --> seems like a pretty great game.  It's a cool concept, but for $70?  I don't know at this time.

@Kinikko @Mai Valentine  --> do you have any thoughts?  Maybe @retro junkie has a few thoughts as well since he is a fan of Animal Crossing!

LOL The computers heart... that's pretty cool @targetrasp.   At the end of the day, I have also gone more simplistic and stayed to mobile this time.  It's a pretty beefy laptop... and thankfully I was able to get into 64 GB of memory before the Massive RAM Price increase.

I used to ALWAYS favor the blue lights.  However, I'm now all over the Green RGB lights on my mouse, laptop bottom light that wraps around the whole bottom, and sometimes keyboard... though, I think I have red there.  Might change that to green as well

Hopefully @Grindspine will create a thread and share his new build

This movie came out on Monday March 23rd, 2026.  Project Hail Mary has been on my radar for MANY months now and we are going to try to catch it this weekend... and I think in IMAX. 

I am not spoiling or looking for spoilers yet... please make sure to use the spoiler functions if you provide information from when you viewed the movie.

Who has seen Project Hail Mary?  Are you interested in the movie?  Thoughts... comments... Post it up!

Bumping this up!  This movie comes out April 1.  Sounds like @mastermario is going in the Mar10 Day Thread

I figure most are going to catch this after the theaters... However, post it up if you're going to catch it either way and are or are not excited for the movie.

On to Ke$ha now!!

That doesn't necessarily make it chick music, @mastermario  lol.

I haven't listened to Ke$ha in forever.  She does have some pretty good songs

I went pretty simplistic with my most recent build. All the components are black, even swapped out those brown noctuna fans for black ones. The Anti vibration mounts on all the fans and the case is white. No fan lights, just the mother board lights are red and have a "breathing" lighting effect, making it look like the computer's heart.
