    StarRupture

    Fuuuuuuuck. I only just realized I'd been accidentally playing nightmare mode because I expected it to work like Satisfactory. For those who may be in the same boat - the basic level 1 rail junctions come with automated smart switchers built in. In non-Satisfactory terms, that means you can...

    Winter 2026 Anime Thread

    Noble Reincarnation - Anime isn't short on amazing, genius, super special boys. The MC in this one though is in serious danger of his dick actually falling off if they suck it any harder. It's actually a little sad, makes you want to give the writer a hug and tell him that his dad is never...

    Ball x pit

    First free expansion is out now. New building that enables endless mode ( just continue after killing boss ) New classes, equipment, balls, etc. Nothing that changes the game much that I've seen, some of the new combos are pretty cool though - landslide in particular ( when it hits something...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    Look, expecting the writers to know anything about the lore of what they are writing is clearly unreasonable, and probably racist.

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    I'm having some trouble believing that no-one remembers him after that scene. That guy 100% spent his life with women huddled together giggling as he walks past.

    Dust Bunny (2025)

    I really liked this one. It's very Bryan Fuller with a fairy tale style tone, kind of like a storybook version of The Professional. The reactions to the FBI busting in, yelling 'Get down on the ground' were classic.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    That's the main cast for s2, not s1, and obviously not the full crew.

    WorldBox - God Simulator

    Looked interesting enough to wishlist it, but you should have gone with their store page image https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1206560/extras/1d45579da9a721f5c7193aa9af62cdcb.webm?t=1727687171

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    I think you are proving Hoss' point there with 'I didn't actually watch it, but a ragebait video I watched said it, so it must be true'. The show is terrible enough already, you don't need to invent reasons to hate it ;p ( Also, obviously there were white men in S1 discovery, starting with...

    The Beauty

    The similarities are mostly superficial - the Substance is about cloning and consciousness transfer, where this one is about a virus that makes you younger and hotter ( metaphorically and literally ). The bad guy of the Substance is the main character's vanity and self-loathing, and the bad guy...

    For All Mankind

    S4 annoyed me because the premise was unbearably stupid ( Helios recruiting unqualified desperate chumps and paying them minimum wage to work on mars ). It was still watchable though if you don't think about it too hard.

    What did you just read?

    Uh, no ? That's not even a little bit accurate. That is though. I'd never complain about people not liking the same things, and the book definitely isn't for everyone.

    I've been working my way through goodreads winners for 2025. So far : Not Quite Dead Yet Winner for mystery Girl is attacked and develops a more or less inoperable aneurysm that is going to kill her within the week. Spends her last few days trying to track down her murderer. This was...

    Web Serials

    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/118891/new-life-as-a-max-level-archmage With a name worthy of a c-grade budget anime, and a degree of creativity that can be fairly summarized as 'Overlord, but a chick', this story really should have been an easy skip. There's only one problem though - it's...
