    ARK: Survival Ascended

    It is definitely possible but typically the starting areas have few aggressive Dino types early on. Sounds like you were unlucky in that regard. I have had the same scenario happen to me while I was disconnected. If you're on a flying mount and get disconnected, it used to dismount you in...

    Wheel of Time

    I don't know if they will add it later, but there is so much missing from their initial run-in with the sea folk. Not to mention the big brawl in the sky. I have to believe they will at least put that in there somewhere.

    Wheel of Time

    In reference to the Seanchan, there were immediate, glaring, changes as well as underlying tones. If I remember it correctly from the books, the ones bound (forget the term) were never portrayed as liking what they were doing. The not so subtle skin tones they used for the two linked (?)...

    Wheel of Time

    I went into this with high hopes that it would be half-way decent, even though I knew it would not be close to the books. I can watch just about anything and be ok with it, but there are just too many bad ingredients to make any sort of decent recipe. Also, as with every other opinion, they...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Mouse and KB controls are pretty bad, but haven't tried it with a controller yet. Will do that tomorrow to see if it gets better.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Maybe it's just me, but that narrator in the opening cinematic seems like it was a bad choice, or rather there had to be much better picks out there. Almost sounded like he was trying way too hard. Being picky, I know, but it stood out enough for me to clearly notice.

    Wheel of Time

    Agreed. Condensing the proper material to include in the show. I've been trying to figure out the most egregious change, from my perspective, and haven't decided yet because there are too many. I'm with you on the Lan scene, too. The books were all about how rarely he would change...

    Wheel of Time

    What they did with Loial's appearance was one of those off-putting aspects that every time he was in a scene, all I could think about was how horrible he looked versus the book's description. My wife is watching it with me and she has since picked up the books. I told her it will be very...

    Wheel of Time

    I thought reading the first 3 books again before this came out was a good move, turns out I was wrong. I am usually open minded and flexible when it comes to adapting books to TV/Movies, but the changes were so jarring it ruined my ability to find any enjoyment in the show. There are no...

    Thanks, Pharazon2, I have never heard of Refin but will certainly check it out.

    Home buying thread

    Appreciate the insight and opinions. My wife does extensive research on the houses before we even go look at it, and the neighborhood it is in. Unfortunately, there are only 2 school districts that we have confidence in or it would be a move much farther away. Houses are selling like crazy...

    Home buying thread

    So, my wife and I are looking to buy a larger home due to our newest addition, and needing an extra room for my office. We have been looking for months and like everyone is posting here, the prices to buy are pretty high right now. We live in a town where it seems a lot of folks are migrating...

    Investing General Discussion

    I am very new to investing, and will take the advice to educate myself before diving too far in, but do you think the airlines are worth putting some money into today?

    May be an odd question

    Either they are really good at hiding who was responsible for their physical security or they had it assigned to someone that isn't exactly security minded in that sense. I have seen that all too often where an Engineer or someone in Safety is designated to oversee the security for a Plant of...

    May be an odd question

    It's almost a guarantee at this point.
