I'm told the early drafts of A New Hope were kind of tedious. Then Lucas discovered Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and retooled his movie to focus on Luke undergoing the mythic hero's journey, which worked great.
He didn't have a structure like that for the prequels.

I just learned Elon lost his shit & retooled Twitter after what he declared a "Engagement Emergency" so that his tweets would be boosted by a factor of 1000.
The "emergency" was that Biden's 2023 Super Bowl tweet got 3 times as many likes as Elon's.
So endlessly PATHETIC.

Announced in 2017 to tie in with an anime that finished airing seven years ago, completely retooled after said anime finished, we didn't even get the last of the Inazuma Eleven Go games in English until the fan patch hit, being a fan of this series is suffering, but I have been VERY PATIENT.

Beane and McDermott should not get Josh's whole career. They had a window and blew it, they retooled and blew it. Time for a new idea.

Thanks. Yeah, the reason her deductible was $0 this year is because California has their own state-based subsidy program on top of the federal tax credits.
Due to the expiration of the enhanced federal ones, they've retooled the program to help low-income enrollees.

California: CoveredCA confirms my 2026 avg rate hike analysis, provides details on state subsidies
This actually came out a couple of weeks ago but ironically, I've been too swamped analyzing & posting 2026 rate filings for other states to get around to posting it here until now. Covered California...

So...another bogus episode. And if you think that means I'm against the remake, quite the opposite. PLEEEASE remake this season! It can only be improved! OK, it has *some* good things in it, but there's a ton of negatives I'm just not OK w/, they could be retooled and I'd be happy w/ it. We'll see.

A classy man, respected by all. It's a joke Lenny Wilkens didn't win Coach of the Year for turning the 1978 Sonics around (he inherited a 5-17 team, retooled lineup, took them to NBA Finals). RIP, Lenny.
RIP Lenny Wilkens, prayers to his family 🙏🏾💚

The best-case scenario for a hard-R action franchise retooled into a cheesetastic four-quadrant PG-13 action adventure romp with lovable sidekicks, quips, and laffs. It *shamelessly* loots from every direction while serving up supreme production design.

I wish Hasbro would do more of these "Classics molds but modern scale" figures. Leader class Classics Grimlock, Voyager class Classics Astrotrain, and a retooled Classics Optimus Prime with just 5mm Weaponizer posts, ankle tilts, and wrist swivels retooled in.

That said, the show does get retooled halfway through and I gotta say this is probably one of the least violent retools of its kind that I've seen.
Sure, two cast members get written off and suddenly there's aliens, but it never really feels like the show loses its identity.

Current progress on splatteworld: here's the retooled shop screen. Not final, but a big step. Item names are placeholder, but we're limited at ~14 characters max due to how inventory screens are laid out. But it's still a damn sight better than 8. Before and after attached.

#Transformers and #StrangerThings talk: Much as I like both, I'm far more interested in how this could be retooled into Soundwave, Ironhide or Ratchet. With that said, they never retooled the previous crossover toy into a G1 character did they? www.hasbropulse.com/uk/product/s...

Unfortunately, after gm and other car manufacturers retooled their factories to build EVs and built new ones to make batteries, they pulled the rug out from under them. They have no interest in making things in this country.

I gave my wol red and purple eyes because i wanted them to have the sharigan/rinegan combo, but later retooled it as a ward of protection placed on her before the sundering and taking the form of her purple eye. later on when she learns to tap in to the powers of light, it becomes golden instead.

Other than that, I'm having a good time so far. Feel right back at home despite not having played Tears of the Kingdom beyond the prologue. Especially fond of the retooled magic/tool system. Also, instantly fell in love with Mineru's move set.^^

This will be incredibly embarrassing for all of these “storied” institutions when the bubble pops and it becomes nakedly obvious that they care more about what’s happening in the stock market than educating people.

Marine WAS originally created to be a more pure, virginal character in early concepts, but I decided equally as early that such a character type felt passé and retooled him to have more edge. I hope to eventually write more stories on his background before he became who he is now.
