    Captain Marvel (2019)

    I don't think Norton concerned about the money, he was born into wealth. He changed his name for acting so that he wouldn't be propped up by the Rouse name and he'd earn things on his own merits. Even when he was first doing it, it seemed "off" to me for him to be Hulk, he always seems to pick...

    Yea the whole "feeding into the system" part had absolutely nothing to do with that. Keep on being the same old Gavin. But seriously done here. TTFN.

    Exactly my primary point. Rather than getting people agitated and frustrating myself trying to reexplain it I'm going to requote you and leave it be rather than wasting the energy trying to explain it more wordily that just gets either confused or dissected into something it's not around here...

    Then I don't know what it is, you're reading things and making really bad comparisons. i.e. The myopic comment was my shorthand for "white males being worried that reviews might stop being completely reflective of them" - almost the precise opposite of the MLK quote regarding homogenization...

    And you're putting words in my mouth here - I mean it only as that there should be examples of MANY cultures to balance out the picture. (and possibly better aggregation that gives "girl" scores, "Black dude" scores, etc rather than one-size fits most as we use right now. I took it (and on a...

    Actually no, I think such a thing would be awesome if there was some sort of better metricing so that there was a "white guy" score (or maybe even subsection it to "Nerd white guys" and "jock white guys"'! Since there does seem to be some movies that only appeal to each subsection) and a...

    You need to stop listening to other people and assuming things are connected that aren't. The most "offensive" parts of the movie to "white men" would be her ignoring some catcalling and getting visibly irrated a moment about a "cockpit" joke. Stuff that in my line of work (HR for those that...

    You implied she was worse than GG's initial statement that WAS directly stating "get on board or get out of the way" - so there should be. Or else you should admit to far underreacting to GG. When something isn't geared for a group? Yes, its appropriate. If I make a movie about hating a...

    And? I didn't say it was shocking or anything, just that she was speaking facts. And amongst PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS WITH A PUBLICATION BEHIND THEIR NAME was her point, I didn't think I'd need to spell it out for people. (You know, the distinction between Audience reviews and Critic reviews on...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    I'd LOVE to see the quote that I "missed" that Brie states women should be greater than men. Only difference is the lack of apology for saying "Hey, there's more men involved in MCU movies than women" and "Most reviewers are white men, so reviews will skew towards what white men like" (i.e...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    If I was deciding on a criteria of when to nuke reviews, 3 logged from the same IP would be a quick way to rule some illegitimate. Just saying... And easy to explain away that way. ("We've changed it to a system that detects things, it should be more representative of one vote per family")

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Defiant definitely has a weird feel to it when you are starting fresh for damn sure. Conceptually I get it from a "making it easier to catch up" sense, but damned if it doesn't feel much like EQ. Lets hope they never get so foolish as to think that Defiant should ever get turned on for early...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    You're still correct, Sound, Cinge is out of date on it. SoF is when the first comes into play. And it's not really that mana intensive for the havoc that can be caused with unhinged limits.

    The Fast Food Thread

    So super disagree with 90% of that - like the entire "bad section" are all my faves. Five Guys and Arby's are about the only ones in the "good" spread that belongs there. McD's is middle of the road at best.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Eh, talking more about the latter than the former there. But I may do similar once Selo passes Phin as a goof around thing occasionally, just casually though for the same "seeing the later expansions in proper context" thing (early, for me since Phin will still remain my primary, loving my bard...

    Watch out Cinge, when you acknowledge you're over it, the hive will swarm all over you! Sidenote: Still holding out hope that they reconsider Mangler with their mentions and do Quarm II still.

    I'm about to work on an experiment with our gaming club space with some Philips lightstrips myself - working on the frame with a friend to hang an array of strips over the play area. From our limited testing they seem really high light output with minimal glare.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Well a month ahead of the anniversary would be roughly Valentine's Day - so could improve the day for the lonely folks i guess, lol. And probably not touching these, FYI - happy on Phin. If one the HC is a Quarm-style temp thing I may dabble though.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I'd like to see a Quarm type server for the hardcore option myself - just TLPed so it has multiple checkpoints. I don't see two full "play this as your main server" setups being a sensible idea at this point. But temporary craziness like Quarm, absolutely.

    Exhausted whites just go back to the pool to my understanding of the rules. It would only really have an effect on special dice that need to be rebought after exhausted, unless I'm understanding things wrong. (Been a bit since I played, redoing our game room)

    Honestly, it feels like 90% of the important stuff is on the character cards + the reference - after some fundamentals I don't think I'd even bring the main book out for teaching a new player now.

    Only gotten the chance for one so far, and while we were botching a major rule that would've toned down the difficulty some (The "start of combat abilities" to our chars, we were playing tank + heals) our result was similar first time. Tis definitely unforgiving sometimes. But freebies at the...

    Arkham Horror 3rd is solid, reasonable set up and play time, similarly satisfying, really nice branching overarching quest approach (similar to FO Boardgame).

    MTG: Arena

    I've gotten the impression the lack of social features is intentional - trolling on other MTG online products has been pretty harsh and something that they've complained about the resource cost in policing before.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Patch 2 really improved performance a ton for me, oddly only on higher settings though. If I switch to barebones settings the performance is actually worse. Not sure how they accomplished that. I'm really enjoying it all the way through, however - but I'm a puzzle guy so they don't stymie me...

    MTG: Arena

    Technically they can advance the wild card meter some in the "Vault" meter, once you hit 4 copies of a card the old vault meter tracks in the background and once it hits 100% you get a mess of wild cards. (1M,2R,3U I think?) Regardless with the winnings packs still counting towards it after the...
