    Wasn't she in that other Marvel movie that absolutely bombed? Why would this be different?

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    The wild part is how accurately the meme encapsulates a time period, without mentioning it, where people who didn't live through it will have absolutely no clue what it means. It might be one of the most ingenious memes I've ever seen.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Didn't take 5 minutes to load all those images. Immersion broken.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You also have to keep in mind subscribers isn't equal to people. I mean, how many people in this thread have said they're in for 2-3+ accounts? Which is good for their bottom line, but at the same time, it means when that single person quits, it has a multiplier attached to it.

    Dark Matter

    My first reaction was, what the fuck is this episode? But as I sat with it, I found it kind of satisfying. I think because it basically wrapped up that Jason's storyline altogether. The only thing that cheapens it is that there are like hundreds of them, so why care about this one specifically...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You know what my favorite part of these screenshots is? How little I can see.

    Brothers

    First episode had some laughs. It wasn't amazing, but it's something to watch.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably because everyone is finally coming to the realization that modern game devs are shit and this is about the best you're ever going to get for an MMO. The "next best thing" is going to suck, so may as well reroll on the tried and true. I still absolutely refuse to pay a sub and box price...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like that duoing content is seen as a "bad thing." Six man or nothing. Fucking masochists. I pointed out the sand storm thing well over a year ago in this thread. And also the ridiculousness of these giant empty zones. The game doesn't respect your time.

    Dark Matter

    I was being slightly facetious. The show is pretty decent sci-fi. This most recent episode was super mopey though. I am running into a bit of a problem where they keep cutting to different universes and it takes me a second to figure out where we are. Like, who the fuck are we looking at? I...

    Dark Matter

    Man searches the universe(s), nearly dying dozens of times, to reunite with his wife. Wife leaves him anyway to "find herself" because things feel "icky." Way to encapsulate current year, writers. Well done.

    Dark Matter

    I just binged the whole show over the last week. The entire time he's getting ready to destroy it I'm just sitting there thinking, there's no way he's that dumb. It's obvious the box manifests itself into existence. It literally happened in his world and in this one he's in with no technology...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Why are you so obsessed with sight when you have other senses you can use to enjoy the game?

    Just curious, but are the cities for the deep races ass? If everyone is playing deep races, why bother with NH at all anymore?

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    It's just like this MnM too dark shit. Developers who care more about "realism" than fun. Yeah, walking around with a rocket launcher in real life would be concerning. Why does that have any impact on a video game where the goal is to enjoy absurd scenarios?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Not being able to see (whether it's too bright or dark) is just immersion. Like real life where we're all walking around blind all the time. If you don't like it, maybe the game just isn't for you. Casual.

    Investing General Discussion

    You can do tax loss harvesting on your own with a brokerage account. You don't need to pay someone a percentage of AUM to do it for you. That said, in my opinion, it's a complete waste of time. It's something the super rich do, and for some reason people with portfolios in the millions decided...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    So you can just ignore this post if you want, because I'm sure some of you don't care for the religious angle. But from a Biblical perspective, it could absolutely make sense. There's a "restrainer" mentioned by Paul that needs to be removed prior to the anti-Christ revealing himself. In...

    For All Mankind

    Funny, because I stopped watching a long time ago, but one of my complaints was that they kept relying on the same few people and their immediate family for all of it. Like, holy shit, 90 year old astronaut is the best candidate you could find when there's got to be thousands of worthy people to...

    Interesting timing that they're re-releasing The Passion in theaters this week for the Days of Awe.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Are they trying to kill it at this point? It's like they keep adding more and more limits to it and more price hikes like they just want it to go away.

    Crimson Desert

    Same. I didn't buy it when it first came out because I wanted to see if it was worth a shit. The hype after the first few weeks made it sound like it was a winner, and I just kind of...didn't love it. Played it for 21 hours and never really connected with it. Theoretically it should've been a...

    Project Triune (NMS) (Not THJ we swear)

    Sadly, they're going to take the wrong message from this. They're going to think it's this new THJ which is why their re-sub numbers for EQL go into the shitter as opposed to the fact that they bungled the development and monetization of EQL.

    The Bear

    Assuming I'm following your synopsis correctly, that's an absolutely retarded plot line. You don't go to the peak of your profession without having a passion for it. You don't just accidently become a Michelin star rated chef and hate being a chef because your real passion is something else. You...

    Everquest Legends

    I never thought the game would be bad. I said I'd never play this because of the monetization scheme which is bonkers. If this had a $30 box price, one and done, I would've played it.

    In the "weird coincidences" department, there's a new storm churning up in the Atlantic, which should likely form sometime this week.

    She did some special last year maybe, and was looking pretty rough. Still a pretty big loss for the musical world.

    Everquest Legends

    It's weird seeing you all discussing expansions half a dozen down the road, when this team is spending an inordinate amount of time balancing classes that will all be wasted effort when Kunark releases. They're planning Kunark what, in 4 months from now? You're essentially going to get...

    Rose of Nevada (2026)

    This was...not good. The cinematography and style were great. Reminded me of a 60's or 70's movie. But it's like they forgot to give the plot enough meat to actually grab onto.

    Silo

    I was thinking nano bots would turn them into grey goo in the helicopter (wouldn't make sense to sacrifice the pilot and helicopter). Alternatively, they can just mind wipe them since that's now a thing in this show. And yeah, the elevator was hilarious. "OH MY GOD, THEY BUILT A THING!"...

    Silo

    So episode 8, maybe 10-15 minutes in, I'm thinking "finally, all of these storylines are getting going and this is paying off." I was intrigued by all of them (maybe the sheriff one less so). By the end I found myself not caring about any of them anymore. I don't know what happened. They...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    It's more about the cluster of these. I watched earthquakes a LOT after we had ours in 2019, and I don't remember seeing so many large ones happening clustered together like this. But maybe it's just been long enough I forgot.

    I just remembered that. She said she was raped on a boat or something but didn't elaborate. Maybe it was "suicide" then?
