@encom-official
Just a general musing about my 2000th watch of Tron Legacy:
Sam is the largest shareholder of Encom, meaning he is likely significantly wealthy. He clearly has the money to get himself out of trouble, & fix up a bike, but he also seems toā¦choose to live in the garage Encom was started in. Assuming he lives there, maybe he doesnāt considering it seems more like a workshop. He doesnāt live like a wealthy person, certainly. A rejection of the opulence Encom offers perhaps.
Iām so mad guys this is so no bueno. What the fuck do you mean itās set in the real world, what do you mean they changed how the Grid looks
ABOUT THIS ALSO- what was the point of ANY of it? If Quorra couldāve already seen the sun, if humans could have already met physical programs, if Kevin is still alive, if we never see Rinzler, WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANY OF IT? Just throw it all away why donāt you!

New Tron 3 trailer today, programs
"WHY IS KEVIN THERE"
"where is out beautiful baby boy tron"
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
I was so very upset to see that theyāre not only bringing Kevin back after he was put to rest, but also making a program? A super soldier? I hate it
i want the sirens to look weirderrrr
First of all these are AMAZING. I love them sm. But also YES, honestly I want all of Tron to look weirder! Itās inherently a bit of an alien series, with elements bordering on horror, & I think more weirdness would work fantastically.
Chat I got this as a gift!! Iām very excited obviously, I used to have one of these as a kid!
I need some advice though, heās out of battery, & Iād like to replace them, but im hesitant to open him up. Which would you do?

Getting back into the fanart saddle. Baby steps, baby stepsā¦ And so, something simple: Clu and his henchmen, including helmet-less!Rinzler because god damn, that man is pretty.
BRUCE! BRUCE, WEāVE MISS YOU, BB!
Oh my god.
This makes me SALIVATE with feral love for this art. Gods I love it when CLU looks spooky.

Really like the use of sheer fabric in some of these. Wish we got to see more of that in the movie.
Just a reminder that these messages are scams, & no refugee going through such crisis would guilt trip people over Tumblr dms, threatening to kill themselves & their children. This is disgusting, & is a classic tactic to get you to panic & donate without thinking. If you wish to donate to refugees, there are MANY charities you can choose from. Never give your money to someone sending you random links in dms.
Iāve gotten a surprising number of messages about this claiming my suggestion of donating to charities is not affective, that Iām somehow being callous to people experiencing the horrors of genocide, or that Iām somehow not a ātrueā activist for denying these people.
I ask that please, anyone who is giving these messages the benefit of the doubt, think logically about what you would do in the shoes of a refugee. Think logically about why these messages look the way they do, why they repeat so often, why thereās SO MANY of them.
No individual or group of genuine refugees would set up a bot network to continuously repeat the same messages over & over, filled with emojis & random names & numbers. We know they are bots because it is happening site wide, constantly. It would be a ridiculous waste of time for these people to sit on their phones manually typing all of this out. They would not threaten death if they were not given money, they would not lie about desperately needing insulin, they would not use stock photos of violence to claim they were attacked. If you donāt see the problem with this story not lining up, I donāt know what to say to you. You likely have not looked into the nature of Internet scams enough to recognize this very clear pattern.
I am not a supporter of any & all charities. They are often ineffective, bureaucratic, shell companies. The truth is we who are not in war affected countries cannot provide direct aid, & we must rely on charities & do our best to look into their ethics. I would recommend donating to the legal funds of students being persecuted for their support of Palestine, & other similar causes that support Palestine, but are closer to home & therefore easier to verify (most of these messages do not even say the word Palestine, anyway). Right now, if you live in America there are various groups in need of help who could greatly benefit from funds. Basically any & all minorities of any kind are under threat- sexual, gender related, racial. We must be safe ourselves before we can truly put all of our effort into helping others, & this does not mean we do not care about otherās struggles. Please do not give people money over DMs, do not click random links, do not give your name to these people, really, try not to talk to them at all. It is the basics of internet safety.
Thinking about groups of wild Bits acting similarly to bird flocks.
They do a YES at regular intervals for contact calls. They go in order of when they first joined the group, and at the same time each time. If one spots danger or the one before it hasnāt pinged it goes NO and they all flee like pigeons
They also keep within a defined range of motion from each other
Oh, I love this ā”ā”
Bits and Bytes and Nibbles flocking to small energy lakes or streams, occasionally taking to the air like starlings in huge fractal patterns.
Megabytes and Kilobytes marching along established paths and riverbeds like herds of wild goats or deer, presenting a wall of red no spikes to anyone they consider threatening.
Pods of Gigabytes and Terabytes swimming in deeper pools, far too big to fly like their smaller cousins, sending ripples of yellow through the water as they call out in deep low tones reminiscent of whalesong.
Nobody knows for sure if there's anything larger than a Terabyte. But sometimes, a mountain seems to shift - meandering across the land, ponderous in its path, far too slow to be noticeable save for in hindsight over cycles on end - and the whispers of old watchers and eyes in the hills start anew.
The nature & ecology of the Grid my beloved <3
Hello,
I hope youāre all doing well. šæ
I need your help to share my family's story and raise awareness about our struggle. Every voice counts, and your support means the world. š
š¬ Please reblog my pinned post or, if you're able, consider donating just $5āit could be life-changing for those facing unimaginable hardship.
Your kindness and solidarity make a real difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! š¤āØ
@aboodfmly
lol. Lmao. I think theyāre all using the ā(blank)familyā username template, Iāve seen so many of these. They also seem to like emojis. Never listen to these people, theyāre horrible scammers.
The Games, & The Grid
Something that I often think about, within the lore of Tron, is the role of the grid, & programs, in representing the functions of a computer. Itās the entire basis for the movies right? But something to consider isā¦how well does the grid actually represent a computerās functions? Does it even represent the game of Tron? I believe itās implied that the Games & the challenge of the Grid is supposed to be like, the playing of a video game from an outside perspective, but thatās not really how games work right? If your avatar had agency, you wouldnāt be in control.
I know the whole ālife inside a computerā is largely supposed to be a metaphor, not really a literal job that the grid plays, but itās something that I always pause at, when I really consider it. Does every internet provider have its own Grid? Is it every computer? Do all grids work the same? & the thing Iām most curious about, what exactly does CLU & his army represent in the context of a computer? A virus, anā¦anti-virus software?

imagining the terrifying eldritch assassin that the task manager must be in the grid
This is a gem & I must bring up again the sheer eldritch horror potential in Tron. Give me more of that bizarre shit we saw in Uprising please, I think about it all the time.
Also has anyone ever thought about how the Grid is likeā¦possibly infinite? Like a Minecraft world, where if you go too far things start loading wrong? They donāt live on a planet, so it must beā¦generated somehow
who up trying picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer
