That said, similar to how I felt about Legacy, some of my personal disappointment is that there are clearly enough cool ideas going around that it's exciting, but often frustrating held back by a lack of meaningful commitment.

I feel like Tron doesn't necessarily need to be super prolific in its messaging, it just needs to be fun.

My take away was that the people who made this movie really loved Tron.

It's a bit much at times, but it clearly wants to pay homage to both films and connect them more.

Tbh, I liked Ares a great deal more than I was expecting I would. I initially was also pretty puzzled by the direction.

I loved Tron as a kid and seeing it reimagined in Legacy & def wanted to see it given more attention.

It's odd, but the clash with real life feels pretty established by Legacy.

Should I be asleep? You bet!

I spent tonight's insomnia building this really cool Stray licensed knock-off Lego set I found at Five Below earlier. The quality is actually really great for only being $6. The pieces are clearly direct clones of common Lego bricks.

Snow White even approves of it.🐱😻

Photo of the completed build featuring a small slice of the game's dim urban environment with various neon signs and vents. The set includes a small couch, a figure of the game's orange kitty, and one of the robot characters assembled out of various pieces.

One side of the included instructions. Each step outlines the pieces needed and gives clear instructions on where each piece needed to be assembled.

The set's box, featuring an image of the final build with blurred background resembling the game behind it. The box also predominantly features the orange cat as part of the branding. The set is titled "Neon Alley" and has 149 pieces and claims to be "comparable with leading brands."

Our cat Snow White rubbing her face on one of the box's corners after tipping it over on its side moments before.
