PlayStation first party games seems to have taken a nose dive in quality in recent years. Even if they did did release something good, I’d have 5-6 years of support left on ps5 support after ps6 release. Maybe more if ps6 sales are poor. If they actually do a handheld, that might tempt me. I...

I was going to skip the ps5 pro since the ps6 was around the corner. But, with the cessation of disk production announcement I’ve changed my mind. I’ll probably look for one in the holiday sales. It’ll be my last PlayStation purchase.

I’ve seen this and the Oscar bait theory discussed a lot. I could probably overlook all of it if the cinematography and costumes looked appealing. And if the dialogue wasn’t awful. I’ve got my problems with the story and character changes in dune. But damn does the trailer look good. Everything...

Spec ops is the poster child for digital rights / being saved by physical. It uses a lot of popular music and the publisher couldn’t be bothered to renew the rights. So, there’s no legal way to buy it unless you can find a physical copy.

They could at least pretend to be objective reviewers.

This actually surprises me because he directed that slop interpretation of Animal Farm. I’ve kinda sworn him off as a director.

So many great performances. Especially his run in the 90s. He’ll live on forever the memes.

At least when Ridley Scott crapped all over the crusades he had the good sense to do some amazing costume design, set design, and have some amazing characters that while, horribly wrong from a historical standpoint, were very enjoyable on screen. So far I’m not seeing anything really redeemable...

“Modern audiences” the kiss of death

I like Hollands books, but he is being a cuck here. He got the red carpet treatment, invited to the premiere etc. Pure access media promotion

this could be a shot from the walking dead.

Encounter locking makes the difference. @Regime and I were doing abc and there was some botter working the area. Would occasionally b-line for our mobs and eventually break off with nothing. Became a non-issue since there were plenty of mobs with the respawn timers.

I’m at max Zendaya fatigue. They need to stop casting ole sourpus in everything. She has like one facial expression. Aside from that, looks pretty good.

I’ll probably torrent it, and if I’m completely wrong and really enjoy it buy it 😂 . I would rate my hype level at:

I think the most we can hope for is maybe a few cool scenes or sequences. If the lighting is not so dark we can’t see anything that’s going on.

The server is pretty fun. @Regime talked me into trying it, and picked an sk/shm/ber. Leveling has been fast because of the 4th of July event and the regular bonus xp rotation. The bonus rotation has me spending some time with personas as well since if you catch a a good newbie bonus zone, you...

You must not be an an admirer of the Asylum collection. Modern “AI slop” can only only be an improvement on their “cgi”

Unironically looks better than the Nolan film trailer. What is the world coming to. The lack of C. Thomas Howell in the cast list makes me kinda sad. @Regime

I don’t think I have any hope left. This is going to be awful. At least it got me to read the Iliad and Odyssey back to back (Fagles, not Wilson 😂).

If they go through with it, the PS5 will probably be my last console. I only own one because I can buy physical disks for it. If it’s all digital, I’ll just stick with steam. For me it’s all about choice, and some semblance of owning the game. Your vudu/amazon movie library, steam library...

Matt Damon as Odysseus is probably the least problematic casting choice. I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait for Zendayas sourpuss facial expressions trying to play the bright eyed Athena.

I hope the doesn’t bomb, because if it does, it’ll be one more reason not to make historical epics. My interest declines each time it pops up in the news. It did get me to reread Homer at least. I finished the Iliad last week and started the Odyssey this week. I don’t think there’s a faithfully...

I bought a toro recycler fwd 3 years ago and it’s been reliable. I sometimes collect the clippings for compost, but a lot of times I just leave them. The drive isn’t as powerful as I remember my dads being in the 90s, but it does help.

I looked at Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha models at the same price point and they all looked good, and had good reviews. I chose the Onkyo because it included Dirac basic with the unit(they offer to sell the sub module for 300ish). I’ve used it every time I add speakers, without the sub module, and...

I ended up going this route but I bought the Onkyo rz30. They go on sale regularly for $750. It did take some tweaking to get 120 passed through to the Xbox series x, but that’s about it. https://onkyo.com/receivers/av-receivers/tx-rz30 Going from a sound bar to real speakers is pretty nice...

That cover is amazing. I’ll probably buy one if I remember. This is one of those movies that, for whatever reason, I ended up watching a bunch of times as a kid.

I had no luck with the cheap 4k splitters. They seem to get too hot over time had fail. Startech makes good odd electronic gadgets and is my go to at work when I need something uncommon. It lasted me until I Upgraded to an onkyo receiver that passes 4k(amazing unit of you want home theater...

Audible has another sitewide sale going. Picked up red rising 4-6, as well has William Gibsons Mona Lisa Overdrive and Count Zero. I read Neuromancer last fall and enjoyed it. I really need to give up my plus membership for a few years to catch up on what I have, but I can never pass up the half...

I just finished 1-3. The narrator grew on me. How are the audio versions of 4-6 if you’ve listened to them? I hate multiple narrators since it messes with the flow of the story for me. I’ve yet to find a single narrator I can’t get used to after a few chapters. I started Hail Mary Monday and...

Stephen Colbert is a high priest of woke. He’s spent the last 10 years praising anything from the left and shitting on anything from the right. I don’t believe he’s capable of being unbiased in anything he does. Also, by attaching his name to it they’ve removed the part of the audience that...

This is going to be awful. You know they’re going to cast everyone’s favorite actress.

Just finished a mostly dogmatic run, so it’s gonna be a long time before I get around to another play through. This did rekindle an interest in crpgs for me though. My backlog is massive.

Nu-Mulder looks at Nu-Scully and shows her a photograph. “Look at this face, he’s just as American as us. He’s just looking for a better life for his family. We must let them all in.”

This is just one aspect of the sickness that plagues Microsoft. For years, it seems like they’ve had no goal beyond selling subscriptions to azure/cloud. Now it seems like their main focus is getting ai slop into every product. They do these things to the detriment of their other divisions and...

I don’t see how this will have any broad appeal unless he breaks with all his previous work. He’s a black identitarian who works primarily with black actors to tell black identity stories.

I thought this already came out and bombed.
