    This 'cat's tail' structure observed emerging from Beta Pictoris may be a dust event that is just a hundred or so years old. https://nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-discovers-dusty-cats-tail-in-beta-pictoris-system/

    For All Mankind

    Keep in mind w/ the Margo stuff, the head of Roscosmos was also in trouble at home as well, so there's political stuff going on in Russia too. Revoking her diplomatic immunity perhaps cleans up some of that mess they're dealing with (and maybe we never hear from the current head of Roscosmos...

    For All Mankind

    Finale spoilers. I guess I'm mostly OK with it, but the ending was as weak as the balance of the season was. Unlike the first 2 seasons, this was a very forgettable 10 episodes. If it gets a season 5 which comes close to redeeming itself it might even be worth skipping this decade.

    For All Mankind

    I thought they did the spy reveal pretty well last episode. Guys who have been on the fringes and never really hinted at instead of converting a known central cast member into 'surprise, im also CIA!' Kind of with you here, in fact I suggested it back in October: I feel like, this can't...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    That's good to hear, haven't tried it yet and about to hit the end of Vampire Survivors as far as unlocks go. Lost another 5 hours on Friday night at a friends house playing it 4-player co-op, lol. I get the limitations for balance and maybe performance, but kind of a bummer everyone's so...

    The moon lander that launched on that rocket is fucked, it sounds like. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/astrobotic-moon-lander-anomaly-after-launch/ A fuel leak is causing it to tumble, looks like there was some anomaly, and they can now see something wrong w/ it's first light image. Update 5...

    Appreciate it. A brief update - he was accepted into a PHP (partial hospitalization program) and started on Thursday. For the next 4-6+ weeks we take him there and pick him up 9am-2:30pm, instead of school.

    All the shit he's done since the beginning of the show to pave the road to Happy Valley and Ed Baldwin is hung up on 'something that will be there for everyone else when he's gone' !? lol. Finale next week, ready for it to end but I know I'll miss it - much of that is still just nostalgia...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    Wish this genre had more multiplayer. We tried to do remote play VS w/ Steam but that's really unplayable for my group for whatever reason. Menu is great, but once gameplay starts the framerate stops for everyone but the host. Bummer. Just played VS for the first time on NYE. Less than 72...

    What If...?

    I could enjoy a whole season of episodes around that Hela variant and universe. Same w/ the 1602 Avengers. They do a good job of making these feel like the What If...? comics. 2 of my favorite episodes of the season so far. Wonder how many different takes we've got now on incursions in the...

    What If...?

    Yeah, for what it was it was better than I expected it to be. Also under extras for What If...? is an English version of ep. 6 for those who don't like subtitles.

    Just a usual tantrum, and just to the point where we're at. He escalated it and started hitting me and his mom after I had to remove him from one of the kids' rooms. CPS and Metro have both said to start calling 911, so we did. Provided video of me removing him from a siblings room and him...

    Such a bummer, SpaceX lost a booster that had landed on a drone ship to high seas/winds. Newer boosters are able to better handle that, but as this was it's 19th landing it's one of the older ones. Why a bummer? It was the historic booster that had the NASA logo on the side from the Demo-2...

    What If...?

    Much like the first season, most of it will probably end up coming together, the end of ep. 5 appears to be the beginning of that. Outside of that, thought ep.5 was one of the weaker episodes.

    What If...?

    I think ep4 was supposed to be in the first season but was cut. Even had a LEGO set. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lego-super-heroes-tony-starks-sakaarian-iron-man-76194-lego-systems-inc/1139813105 I could probably listen to a full episode of Korg just saying random shit, lol.

    Sometimes it feels like this show wants to become a parody of itself. The end of this last episode is one of those moments.

    Aquaman 2

    Mamoa is about as good as the rest of the movie is, which isn't great. He'll be a fine if not perfect Lobo, because that's the character he's playing 3/4 of the time in Aquaman. Movie was unremarkable. The DCU ends with a ho-hum. Bring on the new stuff.

    It's a mode within Fortnite, so yeah, Epic launcher required.
