    Resident Evil (2026)

    I've spent nearly 25 years thinking "how the fuck would I escape this bullshit room?"

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    It's a colossal issue in tech. Software crosses geographical borders with zero cost. Onshore vs. offshore is a cost ratio of ~3 to 1. Organizations align their incentives towards offshore hiring at the working level--onshore hiring is frozen/positions are rejected while offshore equivalents are...

    Summer 2025 Anime Thread

    Definitely a me problem—I haven't been in a regular watching habit in a very long time. Hence the request for best recommendations :). Will check out FMA: Brotherhood. Thanks, these are all new to me, will check them out. Also all new; on the list! I do try to follow these threads a bit--It...

    Summer 2025 Anime Thread

    Thanks, these are all great recommendations for me... but unfortunately I've read the manga for each. Other stuff I've read would be Berserk (GOAT), Hellsing, Claymore (god-tier ending, love when stuff ends well), Death Note, Golden Kamuy, Alice in Borderland, Assassination Classroom, Solo...

    Summer 2025 Anime Thread

    I had a similar question. Here’s a version with more specifics: —Completed series. Either a standalone series or all seasons released. —Original animation (generally prefer manga when it’s an option, and I’ve read a good chunk of the 30ish volume stuff that gets discussed here once the series...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Variety is fucking with you. Gunn's comment "Yes, it's about politics" is in reference to a scene (that we've seen in the trailer) where Superman and Lois debate whether he should have stopped a war. Other full quote: Notably in the above, Variety excluded the 'but' and added an 'and' to try...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    As someone who grew up with the DCAU, sounds right up my alley.

    Project Hail Mary

    If you didn't read the book (like me), I'd probably stop watching that trailer at about 2 minutes. Feels like major spoilers. What the fuck Amazon.

    Investing General Discussion

    Just doing a semi-annual check in on my portfolio. Pretty boring year so far?

    Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)

    Watched based on the recommendations in this thread. This was great. The whole thing is a lean 90 minutes that doesn't waste a second of your time. The animation... frame rate? is off-putting for the first few minutes and then you get sucked in and it just fades to the background. The actual...

    The Fighting Game Community Thread

    God damn I love Marvel. Great finals.

    Investing General Discussion

    In this case, the answer is a bit more boring: automatic sale of vesting RSUs to cover tax obligations To further put that number in context, Stephen Cohen still owns something like 15 million shares of PLTR according to the filing. Guy's incentives are aligned.

    Alan Wake 2

    As someone who also thought Control was amazing, don't waste your time with Alan Wake 1. Imagine if one OoP had its own spin-off game, but the object was a book and your character is the author--that's about as much relevant cross-over as you get/need to appreciate. Some people thought the story...

    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    IMO Grummz is a trash source who regularly exaggerates and lies for views. There was no fine. There wasn't even any government response. A privacy firm filed a complaint based on a customer pissed about always-on connectivity. Ubisoft was collecting the same always-on crap for SP games (time...
