Right, the criticisms I saw said they had breakthroughs in their research and advanced the field, but they misrepresented the work in the media so they could get a bunch of publicity on it. There was some speculation on if it was done to appease venture capital investors that may have been...

Great, thanks. Ill look into them and hopefully add one to the queue. Automobilista and Wreakfest (maybe) sound promising, both of which I've never seen before.

What are the good racing games? I had some nostalgia for Gran Turismo 3 and got the itch to play one last year, but none of them looked like a Gran Turismo experience similar to what I remembered. BeamNG looked to get a lot of positive reviews at the time, but I'm not going to buy a steering...

On episode 4 and so far it's on par with the previous seasons. The editors are slipping though as I understood Gerald on numerous occasions (they often cut him up to make him unintelligible). I was interested in where they were driving around and couldn't remember what part of the UK they are...

Just edit in some random picture you find and it will still qualify, even if you leave some text about being a double post. Random:

Don't remember which thread the "Dire Wolf" bullshit was posted in, so posting this here (as numerous critics said at the time): https://www.newscientist.com/article/2481409-colossal-scientist-now-admits-they-havent-really-made-dire-wolves/?utm_medium=SOC&utm_source=Threads#Echobox=1747922233-2

Yep, I don't have some need to impress imaginary people because no one cares how you played a game or your "achievements," so I play single player games the way I want them played. Especially on replay when it's a quality of life improvement. I also cheated the army bullshit in Wrath and the...

I haven't replayed Kingmaker since before Wrath came out, so I was thinking there were less buffs in that game, at least if you didn't specifically build your party for it with something like Brown-Fur. Which made me think that I didn't use a auto-buff mod for at least half of my Kingmaker...

I've never done a single PnP game either, I mean just with PC games; mainly playing Baldur's Gate 1/2 numerous times over the years. For the Pathfinder games, I used mods to autobuff my group, which made the high buff builds much more manageable. There are plenty of mods the customize the...

Yeah, I'm certainly on the other side of the coin there. Decades of familiarity with DnD made Pathfinder easy to get into, while on the other hand having zero familiarity with 40k RPG rules took ALL the fun out of building a character in Rogue Trader. I didn't even finish the last chapter in...

You may want to look into a Android device like the NVidia Shield if you watch YouTube a lot on your TV and don't want to (or can't) run an HDMI from your PC. You can then sideload the YouTube ReVanced APK, which is supposed to be pretty good for blocking the adds. Or you could try some of the...

Peddling stupid shit has always worked and probably always will. Just look at Homeopathy; how it "works" is the some of the dumbest shit I have ever read, yet its been around for 200+ years and is a billion+ dollar "industry" scam. Realizing it's a scam shouldn't even take more than a basic...

Well this is probably the closest picture of modern war that isn't technically a documentary. They make sure to state that they only used accounts/reports from the operators that were there and it looks like numerous members of the involved units were present during shooting, making sure it was...

Torrents are for the olds... just use uBlock Origins and stream it. If you want more protection, learn to use NoScript (which I recommend for every website, regardless). I'm overly cautious and isolate even further by using a separate browser just for streaming (in my case, Brave). That way I...

Yar, that's what I meant to say. I was typing slower than my brain was moving, and typed "would" instead of "wouldn't."

While it's an interesting project, it looks like they were building it with the option to use it for commercial purposes, so it had to be zoned/permitted as such? I cant get the construction photos to show up on Vivaldi or Chrome, but I am guessing that they put in a in ground fuel station as...

If you had the money to buy the land and build it, I think you could build a track with relatively few problems, as long as you stay in rural areas (in a majority of the states). Only when you get into the city limits of various municipalities, do you start running into major zoning issues and...

It's well done because it properly portrayed gay for the time period (mostly). They acted in secret and were shunned/banished when found out. One of the issues with the current trend of blindly applying modern (big city) demographics to movies and TV shows, with a historical setting, is that...

Neglected, overlooked, or just plain missed large crater in South America.

Don't you live out in the true middle of nowhere USA? The big city should have enough business for independent shops to pay for all the specialty equipment, but I'm sure it is pushing shops to be become more specialized. Most of this board probably lives within an hour or two of large city...

First mistake was taking it to a stealership. They are probably charging at least 30% more than an independent shop. If you live in a big city you can usually find reputable shop recommendations on enthusiasts sites, although I don't know how big the Hyundai community is. If it's a decent...

Not all of us married Asians bro.

Some historical oddities (History only video). From an early Anti-Pope to Monarch meddling to maybe the best Pope of all time (Hermit Pope):

Oh, right, forgot about Penguin. It was good too, but not sure I have a desire to rewatch it like Peacemaker. Time will tell. I've watched Peacemaker three times now and thinking back on it, I don't think I rewatched The Punisher either (maybe I'll put it next-ish on the watch list).

I never watched the movie and had no issue following the show. Sure, it probably would have made things a bit easier to track at first, but the show does fine setting up everything on it's own. Not that it's saying much, as there isn't a lot of competition, but Peacemaker is the best or second...

Maybe she's a Hapsburg.

Sure, but no. We have all been taught by video game reviewers, since at least the 90s, that they may say they have a 10 point system, but really only use a three point system (unless it is utter trash or full of bugs). Which means that "good" games are at a minimum, 7 or higher. This was...

A gaming oddity: A game with a longer development time than Star Citizen finally got released. This game originally started work in 2003: Don't plan on playing it, just something kinda interesting.

I find it the total opposite for both GTA and Cyberpunk, where I enjoyed the main story and the "side" stories that were tied to the main story, while skipping most everything else. The side missions got repetitive/stale after 2 or 3 times and the driving did not compare to a real racing game...

The Discord channel (not sure how many work on it) has kept the following google spreadsheet mostly current since Velious, and it looks like its been updated quite a bit since I quit. When a new xpac drops, it takes a few weeks for the min/maxers to decide on a "good enough" list, get it written...

Flurry cap for this server was lowered to something like 75% at the start of PoP along with other changes, but I don't think any others involved waisted AA points by spending over cap. Up until that point, Mag/Bst made it easy to get 100% flurry. As for PoP pets, when I stopped playing a month...

Yea, no idea on the machine side, other than some sewing machines can only do up certain materials. So I would assume that embroidery machines operate the same way, with only commercial grade machines able to do things like leather or suede (not that you said you were planning on doing anything...

That guy probably had a decent amount of experience and/or it was a simple logo. As an alternative to learning the software yourself, I had a somewhat complicated 4 color 6in x 4in logo converted a while back by a company online. I don't remember the name of the place but it was pretty cheap and...

Kenshi is a third person survival, base building, squad management, RPG-lite, with some RTS like battles. You control when and how much your base/crew gets attacked, by how you interact with the game and where you build your base (whose land you build on). Valheim is a first person decent solo...

Indeed. I didn't know it was a horror channel in particular. It looked like it was owned by AMC, so it just became the AMC streaming service. Sort of like how Paramount has original programing and CBS shows at the same time.

I don't much like horror movies or TV shows unless they are exceptional; generally when they lean into the suspense/thriller and involve space (Event Horizon), involve space creatures (The Thing), or both (Alien(s)/Pandorum). I often wonder if it's due to having few if any superstitions, so I...

Looking on the list of Shudder Originals I don't see anything I even recognize, let alone talked well of here. I also wrote off AMC and haven't watched anything (other than Better Call Saul) they have made after finding TWD too ridiculous to keep watching (around season 4). Also, the midseason...
