Jesse Eisenberg is a horrible, horrible choice for Lex Luthor. :thumbdown:

I've replaced the webcam.
Since I hate directly replacing items I owned before, I decided to add a tripod to it as well. When I ordered it I thought it would be a cheap plastic one - but what it turned out to be was a very robust tripod. A welcome surprise
I also mounted a novelty USB spotlight I already had on to it so I don't inevitably have to tediously shine a flashlight at something I want to show on cam. Having it on board has proven to be incredibly handy already. I didn't plan for the aesthetic, but I love it. It looks hackey as Hell.
When you collapse the legs, it leaves a small tunnel space in the middle, which allows you to pull the wires through so you can use it as a wand tripod (with the wires neatly coming out of the bottom.)

Do you use your webcam for anything special?

I haven't even watched MOS yet, since I'm not a big fan of Snyder in the first place, and because I heard a lot of lackluster reviews for it. It's been sitting on my Mac for months, I may have to finally give it a go.
I liked the teaser, I thought it showed promise, but I agree, this new trailer looks fantastic. My excitement level has risen dramatically.
Yeah, when I first heard about that choice, I thought "Here Snyder goes again." I'm pensively optimistic after seeing this, though. But it is a major departure from any Lex Luthor I've seen or read before.
And Gal Gadot looks great as WW, ooh la la!

Ha ha, this is what I thought of when I saw it... I really am getting old as dirt.
I like it though. I've always had a soft-spot for ramblin' wrecks... which is likely some sort of paranoid projection or something.
Nothing in particular, but I'll often have need for specific angles- and/or a need to place it somewhere, that is less than accommodating for webcam use. This time around I adjusted it for problems that I had in the past in effort to make it as flexible and versatile as possible.

Didn't even see that comparison, but that's pretty on point.
I love all slightly malfunctioning tech whether it's from design or from wear and tear, even better when it's represented physically. Like a TV that you have to slap, press volume down first, and the press the 'on' button three times for it to turn on.
There's something romantically homely about it.

I agree completely.
Everything is so... plastic now.
It's all so smooth and minimal and textureless and dead.
In the future you won't be able to tell a crescent wrench from a bar of soap, ha ha.
Yeah, but at the same time I feel a little bad for thinking that. Because had you asked people in the past and told them about moldable plastic, their jaws probably would've dropped as it is quite an amazing material function wise. It's just so saturated a material these days that it's hard to appreciate it.
Though, luckily it's not exclusively so. In most cases alternative material equivalents also exist. I'll often like to pay a little extra when possible to not make things too modern. I hope that trend continues.
I don't like the minimalism in design these days too. I miss products from the 90s and early 2000s. I like a few buttons.
And things don't last as long as they used to.

Thanks Deco, at least someone understands the threat of the plastic apocalypse.

I have a lot of those too. Tonight will be about losing my front teeth though.

I need to find the motivation to do more back stretching. Being lazy about it isn't a good thing. It's so hard to get started on anything for me.

I'm sorry to hear that. You tread water for so long, just trying to get by and be a human, and then you have one of those whammy days where you feel like you're right back at square one.
I heard that dreams about losing your teeth refer to your anxieties about your appearance; I have had those dreams as well.
Mine are usually more intense like post apocalyptic scenarios or the one I had last night about stabbing and killing some bad guys in a vigilante sort of way... But then there are those really weird ones like when I had a dream I got brought back to Sasquatch's cave and we totally got freaky... It was like making love to a basket ball player covered in shag rug carpet lol. I swore off watching Harry And The Henderson's after that...

In my case dreams about teeth are really about my fear of losing my teeth. My teeth aren't very strong and I had a bunch of problems in the past years, but yesterday I accidentally pulled one of those sports water bottles with my front teeth and right afterwards I felt like I had lost my front teeth.
I actually don't remember dreaming about it though, so I probably didn't. I only remember dreaming about my grandma turning into a horse.
