    Fallout Shelter

    It is exactly what it sounds like, and your reaction is correct.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    AFAIK, the solo Rey movie directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy could still technically happen, it's just in script hell. The original assumption was the trilogy by Simon Kinberg would negate that movie, but it was then stated that Kinberg's movies would be a new later time frame after any Rey...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Rumors continue that Nvidia is, at best, pausing production on the lower end 16GB cards There's additional rumors out there that even at the 8GB level, it'll just be 5060TIs soon. (Again, Nvidia doesn't make their own chips, if component costs go through the roof, there's only so much they...

    Fallout

    Coop's kid aging out will be a problem, like in all TV shows. Hell, when she answered the door earlier this season, there was some weird artifacting that had me wonder if they didn't digitally alter her height. It'll be even worse if they go earlier in the timeline to cover New Plague material...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    DSN Season 1 isn't as bad as TNG Season 1, but I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Hell, I'd probably have them skip to the last episode of Season 2 (introducing the Jem'Hadar) for that matter. Not to be _that_ guy, but I'd absolutely recommend the early seasons of Babylon 5 (which would...

    All male and female (Lily, Tabitha) super mutants canonically look the same, unless there's some Fallout 76 hell I'm unaware of.

    Fallout

    Eh, all roads continue to lead to The Enclave as the past and future antagonist (with maybe a one season fakeout with West Tek) . This being 21st century Hollywood, I am sure The Enclave was pissed that the Sino-American War didn't kill all the undesirables (minorities / gays / etc.) and decided...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I would say the expansion is fine, but still needs a lot of polish. Beyond all the issues Pharone had, I would add: The voice acting is super inconsistent, in some cases only voicing some of the text. Even worse, its not always the beginning text that was voiced, so you'll start reading...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Even if Aaron doesn't _start_ somewhere, I would expect him to play when someone's QB goes down midseason. As for next weekend" Broncos over Bills - Per usual, I expect this to be a squeaker until the 4th quarter, when the Broncos take the lead against the gassed Bills defense. Seahawks over...

    Texans' turnovers are the #1 source of Steelers' offense.

    Another defensive game? Let's see if the Steelers can top the high bar (3 points) the Chargers set.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    It bears repeating that Ali is over 50 now, and would have been nearly 50 even if the movie came out at the earliest possibility. It's hard to believe they ever intended Ali to be the lead long term. Hell, if we want hard ages, if you go back to Blade 1, Whistler (Kristofferson) was around 61...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Every coach has an end-of-year meeting with their GM / ownership (depending on whom they report to). I'm very conflicted on firing LeFleur. First off, the kicker, the position the HC has the least impact with, wasted 7 points on a game GB lost by 4. That said, the timing is also messy - LeFleur...

    Feels like Chargers have to score here to have any chance to stay in this.

    Yeah, if that was the Chargers' big chance, they threw it away.
