    Ashes of Creation

    Feel like many said similar years and years ago. The giant map thing I've just never understood. Giant maps just mean lots of empty wasted space.

    Stranger Things

    Man, saw this thread get bumped and I was like...holy shit, how is this show still on? Then I saw it's only on season 5? I watched season one and it was good, but I remember quitting very early on season 2 (think my wife finished it). But that was a decade ago. 5 seasons in a decade? What the shit?

    Frankenstein

    At this point I don't even know where del Toro gets this mythical director status from. Feels like it's just nerds who liked Hell Boy, or because Pan's Labyrinth was good looking. But I look at his works and not only am I unimpressed, I'm confused.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It's funny, RLM posted a video today about how October's box office was the worst in 30 years. One of the movies they talked about at the end was a horror Kickstarter by some YouTube guy, and they highlighted a comment someone made about how "we shouldn't criticize it because then people won't...

    Investing General Discussion

    I think Burry knows that being correct is the smallest portion of it, and the timing is what's really important. So yeah, I'd agree that those are absolutely concerns. I'm not sure they pan out within 2 years. Likely why his bet isn't actually that big.

    Investing General Discussion

    So it seems like what really happened is Burry made a small stake bet on the AI bubble crashing within the next two years. If it doesn't, he's not even losing very much. The difference in my opinion between this and 2008 is that investors are betting that AI makes the industrial revolution look...

    Weed Culture

    Now that I'm a day and a half removed from it, yeah, I think I was just unprepared for the whole thing. I definitely got way too high, but I don't think I was in the right mental headspace for it which led to some anxiety. I'm pretty annoyed that people can take half a gummy and get that high...

    The Chair Company

    It's not TV, it's HBO? That whole sequence at the bar and then that dude's house was fucking wild. I don't even know what else to say about it.

    Pluribus

    Shit, I already forgot about that show. Yeah, it was great.

    Pluribus

    It'll be interesting if they pull it off. Reminds me a bit of For All Mankind in the first season or two. Shit, you could probably replace hive mind for AI and have an even more relevant show in current year. At this very moment I have no idea where this story will go though, which is kind of...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like that instead of discussing how awful a 60 second TTK would be, we're instead talking about lguk mobs. The combat in MnM isn't engaging in any ways. Even the people who like the game admit that. You can alt tab out of the game unless you're the healer. The idea that you just want to bash...

    Weed Culture

    Like I said, at this point I'm pretty sure I've never actually been high until this week. Whatever effects I had in high school weren't it. Nor all the gummies and shit I tried in the last month. If what I had today is just "high" and includes hallucinations, travelling to different planes of...

    That's the weird part. My tripping was just with a single bong hit. Two days ago combining them was a much more pleasant experience. I did try a different strain, but still indica.

    Weed Culture

    So apparently I've never actually been high before. The other day I took a bong hit, felt okay, and took an edible a bit later. I think maybe my THC receptors just weren't working, but it finally activated them. It all sort of clicked and made it easier to understand why people get high. I...

    Oh, I'm smoking outside. I just mean my containers make the whole house smell. I figured putting them in a ziploc bag would help but it does nothing.
