    Project Hail Mary

    "Not a very good science fiction movie but a fun feel good movie." I never claimed it wasn't science fiction, I just said it wasn't very good science fiction. I can add on, here's the story. Hey random guy that had an idea once, teach our astronauts that idea! Nevermind that people in...

    Project Hail Mary

    "Science fiction (often shortened to sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or imagined science and technology upon society or individuals. Unlike fantasy, which relies on magic or the supernatural, science fiction grounds its...

    Done work Mage Tank 5 and Primal Hunter 16. Both were pretty good with Primal Hunter being the better of the two even though it was all setup for the next arc. It is a bit weird how careful the author is to make sure he doesn't just forget characters, but then he misses whole plot points...

    Project Hail Mary

    There are very few that push any boundaries in science fiction. Some ideas i get a kick out of seeing on screen though. I liked Gattaca, especially the scene where the doctor convinces the parents that they owe it to their child to take advantage of all the medical technology that's...

    Project Hail Mary

    I finally watched this and am firmly in the camp of not a very good science fiction movie but a fun feel good movie. I think the comment from my wife was along the likes of it being like reading a short story from one of those old science fiction compilations and then hollywooding it up. We...

    Mage Tank book 5 is like a primer in how to handle the administrative shit every hero eventually has to deal with. I know this series is no where near finished but it does raise the question, has any series like this had an actual ending that was satisfying and felt like a sensible place to...

    It's got ups and downs. The bad guy being a stereotype doesn't help. I'd say the first book is a good representation of the series. There are good things and stupid things. I liked it enough to finish it but i almost stopped several times.

    They're is the fan made booster called The Crimson Scales, it might be hard to find but it's a large expansion to Gloomhaven.

    I'm reading the Battleforged series now, it reminds me of reading Eragon. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you are ready to either reread the same things over and over again, aren't tired of every fantasy trope ever, and like deus ex machina.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Trying to pretend that it is woke just shows how little understanding people have of racism and racists. Basically it's pretending that liberal beliefs define what racists think. Racists will hate a movie about a positive black homogenous culture! A racist wouldnt care that Wakanda existed...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    How was Black Panther woke? An isolated homogenous community protected by a wall had few issues until they decided to open things up to the world. They quickly fell into conflict and war came to them.

    Summer 2026 Anime Thread

    Watching snake tits, so both of the children are cross dressers? I suppose that leans into how wrong everything is on the mountain but it also makes no character relatable. If the parents were cursed or something it might make sense I suppose. It's a shame, I'd be significantly better...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    You bring up a really good secondary point. Since the people doing the interviews are generally hard core geneologists, even in some other people's family ones I have seen the questions revolve more around who was what and what did they do than anything actually interesting. I brought this...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    The amount they are spending to promote this is insane. I wonder what the break even point looks like now.
