    Watchmen (2009)

    This is easily in my top five superhero movies of all time, if not at the top of the list. They altered the ending of the comic, but frankly the movie ending is better. All around great acting and as close to perfect translation of the source material as you would ever see. Schneider's best...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I preordered it, but then I already have a group set to play with. I dont really maintain a gaming PC anymore, but even if I did console is where I would be due to it filtering out the cheaters and being able to be a couch potato and enjoy speed runs is nice.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have relatives over for a week so I probably will not get to play much if at all. But I have a premade group of local friends we intend to hit it hard with on PS5. I enjoyed the coop play in ME2 and Dragon Age and hope it has the same feel to it. Nice bite sized monster murder runs seem...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah even with the DLC she is by far the hardest boss, even if you summon pals. She requires specific approaches, good reads, and fast timing to take down. If you are a tanky guy and want to solo her (or at least just use ash and no player help), the fingerprint shield is a must. For a weapon...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Vikings are a shit show and the Bears.... are still the bears. Realistically, we have three actually tough to the point of near auto loss games in our out of division (Eagles, Clit Commanders, and Ravens), so how we do is going to boil down to improving on that horrific in division record from...

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

    I turn my camera on for key meetings that have been scheduled in advance and I even dress up for them to a degree, hoping the zoomers get the fucking hint about professionalism. They tried that shit on us both at DHS and at my current gig. The DHS one got killed in the crib for anyone in a...

    Kickstarters

    For a masterclass on how to fuck everything up, go do a deep dive on Sandy Peterson Games. At least I got my Cthulhu wars shit, but there is zero way Hyperspace ever happens and my friend has three other KSes that are years behind. Dude fucked EVERYTHING up. On Kickstarters in general, I have...

    The Last of Us

    Well girlboss hand to handing zombros with her Burger King diversity meal pals while being systematically hunted down by the potato, all with teen drama and message virtue signaling? You are basically describing a CW show at that point.

    The Last of Us

    This is with professional grade makeup. That girl fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Not her fault, but the reality is that she does not have the talent to overcome that limitation.

    The Last of Us

    They hired her because people fawned over her being a retard in GoT. What no one realized is she really was not acting and never has. You can get away with not being able to act if you are attractive, but alas she has epic levels of Derp Face, no acting ability, and a toxic personality that...

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

    Our company is emphasizing this. We just promoted a girlboss with zero technical background to CTO after the last one retired, but she is basically a clone of him in that she has no technical background and latches on to whatever trend she reads about from skymall magazine. And now every other...

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

    Kirun sounds like the typical middle manager need to look busy type. In manufacturing and service industries, they have a place because the people who report to them are mouth breathers most of the time. The vast array of knuckle draggers working in those carries need someone who can crack the...

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

    Look for a state level gov job if you can. Fair pay, remote work, and fairly stable. Not the ideal thing, but it can keep the lights on while you hunt for the long term gig you really want. As woman who is not a drama bomb there are going to be some options open to you that most of us don't...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Condolences, but get ready. You have a non zero chance of getting pulled into raising those kids by your wife.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I agree with his broader points, but he has more or less lost the plot on his cause. Kind of the same path I went down with Wormysyar. Got so wrapped up in the tolling that he forgot what point he was tryiing to make and stopped reading the room. Taking battles into this part of the forum is...
