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

    This is my stance. All quantum possibilities are realized (multiple worlds). Time travel simply creates another branch which itself has near infinite branches spawning from it. That's why Skynet sending back a Terminator would be pointless.

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

    There's a FOURTH possibility: time-travelers. Those objects are us from a distant future. That sort of solves the anthropomorphism problem since they ARE us.

    Lucifer

    I always thought she looked sick with the sunken eyes.

    Superman & Lois

    You're so wrong. She's perfect in that role. And..."Scarecrow"?

    Car ?'s

    Why hide the plates? People can see them, you know, when you're driving it around.

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

    Pretty much what I did. I transferred from a call center to a department that was tasked writing VB6 scripts -- I was 41/42 at the time. From there I made the effort of learning .NET and C#, wrote various utility apps for our department and then was moved to engineering a couple years later...

    Health Problems

    About a year ago I start having what I think is typically called post-nasal-drip. It feels like I have a snotty nose but on the other end. Constantly making me clear my throat and swallowing. I've been to my GP who prescribed a few things which had no effect. I've also tried neti pots and...

    Superman & Lois

    Bitsie Tulloch makes an *excellent* Lois Lane. I guess the best since Margo Kidder? I can't think of any other adaptations that stood out.

    Shadow and Bone

    Finished this up last night. This started out 'meh' for me but I really fell into it half way through. Really likable cast and interesting world. Finale felt pretty epic. So, one of the characters is gay of course. But I really wish Hollywood would stop portraying them all as whores. Why...

    Superman & Lois

    For all you people complaining about black Lex Luthor....yeah.....

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

    You can quit? Usually being forced into management means you are overpaid for your current position.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I realize Nintendo is doing just fine financially... But why don't they just forget about the hardware and develope their games for all platforms? Wouldn't that yield potentially higher returns?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Well, I don't give a shit about handheld mode. What I want to see is a BotW and sequels running 60fps at 4K.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I think they are in a tough spot. The current Switch is, tech-wise, inferior to a standard PS4. The PS5 is out. There is no way they can bridge that gap at a $299 price point.

    The Umbrella Academy

    They could be implants. Ever watch the TV series "Botched"? I've seen dudes get bicep and ab implants.

    Guild Wars 2

    That's why I just go with the ascended gear. Same stats, much easier to get.

    Inside No. 9

    Bump. New series has begun.

    The Last Kingdom

    This series is based on a series of books and, from what I understand, Uhtred is currently 60 years old and still kicking it.

    The Last Kingdom

    Another huge selling point is that there are no faggots, trannies, or shoehorned in black characters.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Started playing this about a week ago. I hope to god you get a larger personal bag later? Inventory management is driving me crazy.

    Servant

    Really? I loved the first season. I like how we don't know if anything super natural is going on. I'm only 3 episodes into season 2. "Cheezus Crust" had me dying. This show isn't a comedy by any means, but it sure as hell has it's moments.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Can't they just leave sex out of it? Jesus Christ.

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Just finished this tonight. As others have said, it is merely okay. EDIT: Yeah, the questions I had have been discussed.

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

    God damn. That's a hell of a zoom.

    Holy shit. Mother's Day episode took some balls.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    I need a set of good 2.1 speakers for my PC that are WIRELESS. I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time finding this. The only acceptable cables are for power, that's it. I can't have anything running from the speakers to the subwoofer or speakers to the computer.

    Guild Wars 2

    I love testing if I can take out those champion bandits, risen broodmother at Malcor's Leap, and HoT hero points to name a few. Super fun. BDO's combat was mega flashy but felt empty.

    Playstation 5

    Won't that make the system run even hotter?

    I have and it sucks.

    Guild Wars 2

    I enjoy the hell out of the game, but I have zero interest in PVP, WvW, or even raids. For whatever reason I get endless entertainment out of trying out different profession + builds and just running around killing shit. I think GW2's gameplay is second to none. The combat mechanics, to me at...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Is it just me or has this gotten pretty damn good?

    Guild Wars 2

    Truly, this is the most under appreciated MMO out there.

    Smartphones

    Is there a setting (I can't find it if there is) or an app that will prevent the phone from ringing if it's detected as a spam or political call? The phone itself will identify calls as such but I cannot find any way to tell it to ignore them.

    Vermintide 2

    I thought this game was just okay. The combat didn't seem to have any real depth to it? Just swing away at the horde in your face.

    Mortgage refinance offers

    Wow, I'm surprised there hasn't been a more recent thread on this topic? Anyway, I'm looking to refinance my home. I'm really not interested in doing a ton of research. Is there any disadvantage with just going with "Rocket Mortgage" or any of the other lenders you hear on the radio 24/7?

    Eh, maybe I should stop while I'm ahead...

    I started messing around with the chalice dungeons. When do these get difficult? First two have been a joke.

    Bloodborne

    The fuck they don't. I beat Bloodbourne a few nights ago. Through the ENTIRE fucking game I'd say about 20% of the time I had enemies with no visible hit points left on their bar. I can't count how many times I thought an enemy was dead only to quickly realize they're still attacking...
