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

    It is creeping into federal employment, too. Trumps EO put it on hold, but its only a matter of time before these blue hair liberal arts cunts manning the HR departments try to push for it again. Fucking annoying. @Big Phoenix - Find out if another branch (or even another company) can use the...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    @Chukzombi He is, but I think a good long Doom arc ending in him helping against Galactus would make a good series of stories (and more or less has happened in the classic comic books). Making Doom the central figure would keep things more grounded and also let them address the biggest flaw of...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Defense in general has been horrific across the NFL this season, for the most part. There are a lot of reasons for it, but I think its mostly the lack of pre-season and no actual crowd noise to disrupt snap cadences. I can name maybe two ok Defenses and two actual good ones (and the good ones...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Everything all encompassing from Marvel post Infinity Guantlet was just, well, weird. Secret Wars was some seriously convoluted material that frankly would just not grab anyone's attention because most of the villains in it have not been developed well by Marvel, especially Doom. Honestly...

    I mean, if we are going to count rings that are earned during cameragate and deflategate, I guess we have to count these too.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    1) TB had some pass rush, but really that was the usual Rogers sucking after a bye routine. He gets dialed in to one receiver, happy feet, and holds on to the ball to long a lot. TB's D is good, but Rogers had one of the worst games of his career yesterday and he always drops a turd after the...

    Wasteland 3

    If you like the genre of tactics plus post apoc, its a good grab. It has crash issues (even on console), some internal balance problems, and is probably a bit too easy. The soundtrack is amazing and the story is decent, as well as the gameplay loop being pretty engrossing, though.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    More accurately, he has consistently stunk after the bye week. Probably took one to many shots to the mouth from the Jonas Bros while worshiping Brady from afar. I don't mind losing, but this was a completely flat meltdown that led to McDoofus being sent packing and its pretty much all on...

    The Last of Us

    Even if the SJW shit is taken out of the equasion and we ignore the obvious roid tranny monster, this is the story you are left with: 1) Characters you bonded with in first game are systematically destroyed, literally in Joel's case, and made to be monsters. 2) Roid Monster who did the...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Common thread is Max losing his mind because his family is killed (First Movie) and he gradually becomes disconnected from humanity due to what he goes through just trying to survive. But yeah, Road Warrior is all you need to get going as it has the first movies major points in flashbacks or...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    First movie is about a general breakdown in society where he is a cop during the collapse and road gangs are the antagonist. It is honestly the weakest movie, but still has good parts and sets up everything else. Second movie is when the world is full on post apocalypse (supposedly a bunch of...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Season arcs and continuity were originally shit on by networks back in the day because they felt it would make a show inaccessible. To a point, back then they were right. It really was not until late 70s or early 80s that you saw some shows moving towards continuous arcs. And they ended up...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Who needs that when you can just beeline for Dancers or Bards? But yeah I guess if I were ever going to play the remastered one I would not want to fucking grind out Dark Knight on characters again.

    Kickstarters

    Massive Darkness is not too bad and not super costly. Its more akin to Zombicide, minus the bloat and one moron ending the game being an asshole. First Watch is another good light one, though not really a board game. If you don't care about coop and want a fast crazy game, Clank (especially...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I ultimately had no interest in even looking at the FF7 remake after playing the demo. This is despite actually liking the Vincent MMO shooter that god made back in the day. One reason is the choice of action platform. You have anime characters with seven foot swords and guns for arms and its...

    Reid is no Darth Bellichek. He has that issue of overlooking otherwise easy opponents at bad moments. He did it all the time in Philly, its just that his clock management is so hilariously bad that it gets overlooked a lot. Its also possible that NE put the roadmap out there to stopping KC...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah I do not think there is a more heartbreaking team to root for than the chargers. They take Falcon's level of fail and crank it to 11, finding ways to lose that Lions fans would balk at. They should just change their fucking uniforms to Charlie Brown shirts. It sure does seem like they...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Hey I just want a fun single player RPG, even an action one. The first DD was about as perfect of a game as there ever was at that time. Them spending all the effort making an MMO out of it was an immediate nope from me. It might have been a good game, but its now what made me like the...

    Lol Roidhawks did not even need that shitty call to win. Luckiest team ever. Vikings fuck3d themselves out of an upset, due to Zimmer.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Roidhawks have not really been tested by a tough team, either. Both teams have shit defense atm, but I think the Packer Offense is better at slowing down the game when they want to (tripple back sets were a big part of grinding Atlanta down), while Wilson pretty much has to go full balls out...

    If they were going to focus on MP, that would have been a better plan, I agree.

    Star Wars Squadrons

    A narrative story (would not even have to use unique assets) similar to how Tie Fighter Wars or X Wing Alliance would have basically required some writing, some more voice acting (or better yank the woke shit and replace it with story), and banging out some stuff in the toolset they are using in...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    It would be one thing if this was a new game, but its really pretty much outright ripping off all the core mechanics of the classic SW fliers from Lucasarts, right down to the energy mechanics and flight physics.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Her orangutan instincts are kicking in and she is hanging on to you until she is completely certain she has a firm grip on the next tree branch. The longer you string this along, the worse it will be when it finally all goes tits up. Better to get it over now and move on while you are still...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    If you can glaze over the wokeness, what exists of the SP campaigns is enjoyable. Balance is off and some serious tuning needs to be done to controls to make it smoother, but it works for what it is. And I think MP will be fine with some adjustments. It is missing some elements, in terms of...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    They had the voice actors already and the level design tools clearly were done and working. How about instead of a bunch of diversity cut scene bullshit we get narrative missions DESIGNED for single player or coop like Alliance and the original Tie Fighter had? I mean, most of the difficult...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I am glad to be undefeated, but I am not convinced the Packers have been gotten a true test, either. Frankly with the way defenses have been I am not sure any of the undefeated teams are really battle tested at this point. I am optimistic, but expect another exit at the NFC championship game...

    Star Trek: Picard

    She has been Spiner's fag hag for years. I am sure he talked her into this. For some reason, he just won't come out of the fucking closet despite being pretty much a hyper left guy. Too bad he is that way, because he was always fun as an actor and at the conventions.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah there is no reason to be anything less than rude and direct if she turns up. If you are really worried, enlist the wife and maybe put out the word to the mutual acquaintances that she is not in any way welcome and to kindly fuck off. But there is nothing to be gained by engaging at all in...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    The first XWing game was good, but Tie Fighter Wars (and XWing Alliance) were incredible and had great single player campaigns. Once the toolset is built, its not that fucking hard, but they spent all their time making this into the Burger King Diversity Squad at the Furry Convention showcase...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Well at least Bob was handed a turd initially. Look at McCarthy has managed to do with a playoff regular roster in just one short offseason on the job. Everyone remember the press jacking themselves off over how awesome the Cowboys did in the offseason? Guess we saw how that panned out. And...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Yeah there were plans to do GB3 for years. The video game essentially was GB3 and even with the voice recordings being done separately, Murray was a huge pain in the ass over working in anything involving Ramis again and a bunch of special accommodations had to be made to get that game's voice...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It lets the vets build endurance (less injury) and defenses get their timing down. Its also evident that the players general aversion to extra workouts has actually increased their risk (duh) so I have zero sympathy for the injury pile up. Thats what you get for having a high risk job and not...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Rolling back to the Bill Murray thing, he really was two different people/actors over his career. When he lost his shit during the making of Groundhog Day with Ramis and shut him out of his life, his persona and career went a completely different trajectory. Without Wes Anderson, I think...

    Ok I admit I am behind on news for it and the preorder "bonuses" made it look like a MT Fest at the time, but you are probably right. But for 40 bucks I will throw on my VR helmet and zap terrorists for Pappa Palpatine. But I think you are probably right Mist. Its likely going to suck...
