    Next Starship launch from Boca Chica could be as soon as 2 weeks away on 8/31. Probably won't happen, but that's part of a notice recently sent out, looks like they're starting to carve out potential launch windows.

    What are you playing?

    After messing with the tutorial for a bit, hoping to get a lot more time with Desynced when I'm not playing Madden, WoW or BG3.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Anyone get put in jail in the goblin area? 2 of us did, a little bit of time apart... the first one didn't realize they took your gear and stuff and hadn't gotten it from the equipment chest. Once we realized both those characters were missing gear we went back and only the 2nd person who got...

    I skipped the musical episode. Hell of a season, quite the finale.

    That could be pretty fantastic or suck, with very little room in between.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    So any sign of a modern game using the EQ IP on the horizon, MMO or otherwise? Or they just cranking out expansions and keeping the lights on for EQ1 and 2 indefinitely at this point?

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Enjoyed S1 for the most part, may revisit it as it winds down to see what season journey stuff I can actually finish, but just tinkering from time to time between other things. Between 2 group and 1 solo playthrough of BG3 in progress, Madden next week, Starfield in a month and a lot of things...

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) (2022)

    Since the last post the next movie has been delayed indefinitely, as expected. Across the Spider-Verse is now available for paid streaming. Over a dozen featurettes on design, story, easter eggs, etc. Expected to hit Netflix by the end of the year via Sony's deal w/ them.

    The Netflix Thread

    Just finished a full binge over probably 2 weeks of both seasons of Lincoln Lawyer. Just a solid forgettable lawyer procedural. Not really interested in a 3rd season, but in the absence of something else interesting would probably watch. Meh.

    pressing G toggles grouping them together too. Also shift-c gets them all to go into cover/hide so you can stealth as a group.

    Did you try swapping to the other API? (DX11/Vulkan) I've only crashed so far w/ my 4090 when I tried Vulkan.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Surprised you can't just make characters outside of the start of the game, allowing you to build a stable to pick from when starting/joining campaigns.

    Heh, I finally saw my first temerity the week before S1 launched :| Not sure I'm up for a S2 either, but I'll have probably not regularly played for a couple months by then, so we'll see.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Doubt I'll kill Lilith or get level 100, the rest I'll probably do anyways over the next 2 weeks. May already have the 3 helltide mysteries unless that's wt4 specific and have killed at least 3 commanders. Only thing I'd have to go out of my way to do is the PVP bit, and already did the earlier...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Not playing PoE so couldn't care less, but for anyone interested here are the season objectives. If you've finished what you want of the battle pass and don't want the affixes, resources or titles then no, there's no reason to work through the season journey...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Wrapping up season challenges, basically, if any of that appeals to you. The upper 50s were probably the worst grind personally, not getting any rewarding items because my affixes and items were more than adequate and didn't feel like micromanaging small upgrades and just biding my time /...

    Secret Invasion

    Rough series, would have been better if it was released all at once instead of week to week IMO. Table is certainly set for the Dark Reign of the MCU though. Charlie's recap, thumbnail is a bit of a spoiler, so it's here:

    Secret Invasion

    Wondering if this Fury is going to end up either being a Skrull or a Life-Model Decoy. Finale and after credit scene(s) likely a launching off point for Armor Wars, The Marvels and the plot throughlines for the Captain America and Thunderbolts movies. Though would love if they pivoted, and...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Doubtful. Diablo is just one of a number of billion dollar franchises. Don't confuse bad with simply not for you. The game is far from perfect and needs a lot of work, but it will do well and continue to do well as they make changes season after season. Many will play all of them for the...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Given how it's portrayed, would have been difficult to mesh existing test footage with everything in this movie, how it goes w/ how we see the world through Oppenheimer's eyes, etc. I agree that it felt like a lesser explosion because of Nolan's methods and relying on minimal FX work, but...

    Secret Invasion

    The worst penultimate episode of a Marvel series? What a disappointment this series has been overall. Only bits I liked is it finally felt like Fury was starting to get to the upswing after burying him for 4 episodes. Even the recap is bad - Charlie's got some ADHD w/ his script/editing...

    Was still 100 at 11:30pm tonight. This is hot. 116 during the day is absolutely sweltering, but 'run the A/C nonstop' heat persisting hours after the sun goes down is the worst I guess we just missed some weird historical stat... 115 degree highs and not going below 90 for 3 days, happened...

    All the docks are pretty similar, this just has no display port vs the official. I have an unofficial that's very similar to this (think @spronk and I bought the same one just before the official one was released or made available) I'd expect most just use it for charging anyways in which case...
