    Where Winds Meet

    Does the game eventually open up? I tried it yesterday and got up to the guy at the very start who gives you the bow book. It was a slog just to get that far though. I hate games where you have to spend 90% of the first 5 hours watching cutscenes and story shit and tutorials. Just let me play a...

    Landman

    The mother and daughter are funny in a "they're totally detached from reality" way. The lawyer and mexican girlfriend are, and have been, terrible. I was hoping the girlfriend would be written off the show, but it sounds like we're in for a season of him trying to woo a widow. How fun. Not a...

    Stranger Things

    We talking about Stranger Things or Last of Us? I didn't watch either. But these threads amuse me. Shows for modern audiences? You're in one.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I don't know that I ever finished the game back when it came out. Maybe after Christmas though.

    Was just catching up on this thread, and wanted to highlight your post. My brother-in-law had shown us Stremio earlier this year and I was just like whatever (I usenet everything). But we got it going this week and holy shit is it awesome. It's like Plex and torrenting in one without any of the...

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 4!!

    Fucking hell, I completely missed this thing this year. I thought we used to get a notification or something? This bracket is terrible. Araysar vs. Lanx - Seems like the only viable person left in the whole thing? wellijustdontknow vs. Bandwagon - Would it be ironic if I said I just don't know...

    A Man on the Inside

    We watched the first episode last night. I'm hoping my hypothesis is wrong because it seems super lazy. We'll see.

    Bugonia (2025)

    I was getting super bored with this one up until that point. It just kind of seemed to really drag on. But then the movie just goes all in, and it was great. And like @ubiquitrips said in his review, I was basically on board with however they decided to conclude the thing. Basically anything...

    The Chair Company

    This show has become more and more unhinged with each episode. It kind of seems like each scene is almost a sketch comedy bit that's very, very loosely held together by this main plot. Like the porn store was almost irrelevant to the story, but was really there to just provide some laughs. The...

    All Her Fault

    That's a shame. Wife and I started it the other day and it seems like it had the potential to be decent.

    So economy is actually on the upturn but sentiment is finally catching up way too late?

    Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

    Investing General Discussion

    This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...
