Have you ever shared "the shot"s you got of those 3 cats? Would love to see them if you have :) Best of luck with the bobcat!

In case anyone is curious to see how far people have pushed the game, check out NEDesigns[1]. Some truly incredible RCT (mostly 2) parks. I'm a huge theme park enthusiast and I love seeing the realism that people have managed to get ou

I was an intern at CenturyLink the summer they opened their new building in Monroe. Monroe was not fun to live in but the building was gorgeous and great to work in. From my understanding, the building sadly sits more or less empty now as m

Standard Blu Rays? Are you sure about that? I started ripping my blus at the beginning of the year and don't remember it being more difficult than buying any random Blu ray drive, downloading MakeMKV and clicking the start button. Now,

I'm curious, what did you find lacking in Navidrome/...? I'm thinking about installing one of those pieces of software to serve my media and I'd love to know why you're building your own (if the answer isn't &q

Other sibling comments have mentioned using your phone or the Pasmo passport but I just got back from Tokyo last week and there's a machine selling the Welcome Suica, a time limited card where you lose whatever was left on the card, at

A mix of Expedia, Agoda, and Priceline! As far as what I looked for in a hotel? Mainly just good reviews and pictures that looked simple and clean. I figured that I wouldn't spend a ton of time in the room! I liked the Tokyu chain of h

I just got back from a trip to Japan where I stayed at a lot of non-western brand hotels. But when I went to their sites directly, they were obviously all in Japanese which I don't speak. I could've relied on Google translate to b

Pinball is addictive. I don't even have a house to myself and I've had to talk myself out of picking up pins for my apartment. If anyone is in the Bay Area, I recommend the Pacific Pinball Museum. Over 100 pins ranging from old EM

So the parent comment was referencing the steroid era in the 90s like the sibling comment mentions but you also do still see that in the (presumably) cleaner game today. While upper 90s fastballs used to be rare, they're pretty common

I've been noticing this a lot lately in one of my little hobbies of Halloween events. There's so much history from events in the early 2000s that has been lost. So many links in ancient web forums that 404 and aren't in the I

There's actually talk that they might pick up the media deal for the PAC 12 (if the conference exists in a week) so you might be right on the money there

Happened to me too, on a roller coaster funny enough. I was at Busch Gardens in VA, riding their new coaster (Pantheon [1] for those curious). It's a fast, launched coaster and I guess the way I was sitting with the restraints hit the

We definitely like to trade stories of the days where the parks were so empty that we might as well be in there alone!

Yep, you got it! I concur with that.

I'd say the first one you need to visit is Islands of Adventure in Orlando. When it opened in 1999, it really invented the idea of the IP land, a themed area dedicated to 1 IP as opposed to the standard of multiple IPs in one land (lik

I've been trying to make my way out to Japan for the last couple of years but Covid has gotten in my way. Looks like it's finally going to happen later this year. And I'm so excited for it!

That hotel looks awesome! I wish I could've stayed there. And I wonder the same. My family moved around a lot growing up and one of the few constants was a visit to a specific theme park every year. It seemed to be one of the few const

I do! And themed dining like Rainforest Cafes and the like. My previous job was famous for their elaborately themed offices (I worked in the Alice in Wonderland building). Wasn't a fan of the job, loved the office themeing.

Have you been up to California's Great America to ride Railblazer, another RMC? Seems like you're based in SoCal so it might be accessible to you at some point. Railblazer in the back row is, bar none, the most intense roller coas

Like you said, it's difficult to articulate but let me try. Growing up in FL, my family would go a lot of parks even though I was deathly afraid of roller coasters and most rides to be honest (wish I could go back in time and tell myse

Woah, surprised seeing bio on the front page of HN. I'm a massive theme park fan (which you can probably see from my comment history here) and I follow Orlando theme parks particularly closely. Bio is a huge asset to the community and

I think you're confusing rides, Flight of Passage (Avatar) to the best of my knowledge is not VR (maybe traditional 3D glasses), Rise is definitely not VR (not even 3D) and Mario Kart is AR with a headset overlaying graphics over physi

Certain modern(-ish) roller coasters do have more circular loops than others. Specifically Schwarzkopf[1] coasters are famous for having more circular loops (and the more intense positive Gs that come with it). Anyone in the Bay Area might

I feel like the author starts from a position of poly being the "right" way to conduct yourself and worked backwards to deduce a reason why their school of thought is right and monogamy is wrong. Couldn't you make the same ar
