mars landing

[andyman]

can't think of anything to say after that picture except stunning

[Transient]

[lvlshot]

That picture is surreal. Since I know it's not on Earth, part of me expects to see alien-looking rocks on the ground. Whatever those would look like.

[Tsakali]

if it was too alien we wouldn't even be able to be there. pretty much all other planets in this system are a nightmare scenario as far as studying them up close and personal goes.

hey guys, remember when lego looked like this?



fuck you lego, I spit on your shameless evolution into what's now basically too specialized to be called modular and yet too callus to be described as a proper model.

Face it lego, you're a fucking nerd cult. You stopped being what you were decades ago. Fucking posers...fuck you.

[Captain]

Agreed. I still have a lot of the classic Lego City packs from when I was a kid and they had so much more character and creativity than the saturated shit you see these days.

Also, classic Lego Technic separated the pussies from the BAMF.

Best yet
Love the detail. See the rocks on top of the vehicle? Stunning

at first sight, that seems like a really boring picture, but then you remember that it was taken BY A GIANT FUCKING ROBOT ON MARS

Yes that is a thought to hold for a moment

Agreed. Although I think that little Lego Curiosity thing is built out of classic LEGO and LEGO technic parts. I consider the technic sets to be from the era when LEGO was still a decent thing. Technic was different from the square blocks, but it was still good stuff that allowed endless creativity.

That's the problem. These new LEGO sets don't allow for homemade designs, or at most in a very limited fashion. They use too many single-purpose prefab parts that are just unusable as anything other than what they were originally intended for.

[Whiskey 7]

I loved my LEGO technics.
