'The Acolyte' Canceled: Disney's Star Wars Spinoff Done After One Season
  • My opinions on it are the storytelling was terrible, Sol (and a lot of the other characters but especially Sol) was uninteresting with not great acting, the two flashback episodes were unnecessary, one of the reasons for the massacre on Brendok being a Jedi was homesick was awful, Yoda's appearance in the finale seemed liked a cynical move to try to get a second season, I thought the final episode made The Stranger look weak and undermined him a bit, I would have preferred Osha killed Mae when she was passed the lightsabre, and it was just dull overall. Episode 5, however, was absolutely fantastic and there were glimpses of other great things. The potential for season 2 to be really good was there but the potential for season 1 to be good was also there but wasn't delivered so I had no faith the 2nd season would either.

    I am a huge Star Wars fan, I really enjoyed Boba Fett, Obi Wan, and the other series but Acolyte was more of a burden to watch. I watched it all because because I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I wanted it to be good, it just wasn't. I would have loved to see more of The Stranger and Darth Plagueis though.

  • [Joyce] Moisés Caicedo: Chelsea ready to beat Liverpool’s £111m bid
  • Yeah, the fact an agreement has been made but, as far as we know, there's no medical or signing been made for Caicedo indicates there's an unwillingness to come play for us.

  • I'm half expecting us to announce the Lavia signing by the end of the day while everyone is distracted by this.

  • Amp/Receiver for KEF LS50 Meta
  • No worries. The LS50s are great so, whichever amp you decide on, will provide a great listening experience.

  • Amp/Receiver for KEF LS50 Meta
  • It should drive them just fine. I don't worry about wattage too much when I'm discussing with customers. I'll demo a 100W amp vs the AXA35 and, generally, the Cambridge will give a much better sound. I sold some Kef R11 Metas yesterday which were powered by a Cambridge EVO150 and they match sonically very well.

  • Amp/Receiver for KEF LS50 Meta
  • Cambridge Audio pairs nicely with Kef. I'm in Canada so am not sure the price in Euros but the AXA35 is a good little amp. I work in home audio so have the AXA35 hooked up to a CXNV2 which sound good through the LS50Metas.

  • Congenital Dermoid Tumour On Spinal Cord. Fused Vertebrae From C4-C7 (MRI)
  • Thank you.

    It was quite a surprise when all this was discovered. I've been called a medical curiosity, a functional quadriplegic, and, most regularly, a miracle. From the reactions I've had over the years, I don't think anyone has seen anything like it. A MRI tech said he'd never seen a tumour the shape of mine. I live a normal life but have certain signs I have to watch out for. If I become incontinent or paralysed, my neurosurgeon will try to remove the tumour which, I'm told, is likely to paralyse or kill me. It definitely gives an interesting perspective on life.

    I also have multiple other health issues. I'll try to find the MRI of my spine showing no disc at the base of the spine, a bulging disc deflecting the cauda equina, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease. My most recent discovery is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

    This is my neck. I was born with this and it was discovered when I was 41. There are fused vertebrae from C4-C7, malformed discs, deformed vertebrae, a bulging disc touching my spinal cord and the dermoid tumour on my spinal cord.

    Anyone else having trouble with Kbin?
  • I was having the same slow issue with kbin this morning. I think they're just overloaded. The blackout is leading to people looking for alternatives so I assume the servers are creaking a little.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • Yeah, I'll see how it goes. I'll give it another couple of hours and decide if I can be bothered to keep going.

  • I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club mainly to see why there are all the disclaimers about disturbing content.
