They have not really encrypted/blocked cutscenes save for the Mythic finisher for the last few expansions.

A mule or two will settle most coyote problems. A herd dog is a nice idea, but you are not going to recoup the cost of it+training unless you have a giant sized flock.

Mercenaries failed because you need Gold or $$$ to make any meaningful progress, but you cannot earn Gold through doing Mercenaries. None of the daily quests can be completed there.

I am around half done with the book (48% mark on Kindle) and it is... just more of the same? A lot of it feels like treading water and I do not see how it ends without a silly deus ex machina moment.

They 'hand wave' it away in the second and third films. There were many lysine rich plants on the island. Herbivores instinctively sought them out, then the predators ate the herbivores. It was also hinted at in one of the epilogues that some of the dinosaurs that had made it to the mainland...

How could it possibly be a thousand velociraptors? What escaped was what was held in the lab/mansion. At most, maybe a hundred dinosaurs of all possible species. The majority of them being smaller. I still stand by anything larger than a medium sized dog would be hunted down and killed or...

Pelagos does not even make sense from the Kyrian story. The only thing Pelagos does/is known for is being a coward/unreliable, always needing reassurances and help from everyone else... so that is who is going to preside over all of life/death? Yeah, good luck with that. It seems like they...

I have never dealt with 12' at once, but with anything 4'+ in one go (The worst I ever dealt with was 7 feet in the span of five days and I was 15 years younger then), you have to keep up with it. Just non-stop shoveling/plowing to try and get ahead or keep up with the storm. Not to mention...

Reaper was great and it is a good return to pace.

Some good talk in there about various VPNs. I have used proton for a year or so now, it works well.

The first part of this game is insanely good. It gets worse the longer it goes on. I would gladly play nothing but the first section of the game as a standalone. Each time you 'beat' a section of the game, it restarts - with a new set of rules, graphics, and game style. The first one is...

I always felt bad for Richard Simmons. Dude clearly cared about trying to help people - there are numerous individuals who came out and said he would check up on them after having written him to let him know how his workouts helped them. Last I heard, he was being abused by his estate/caretakers.

5e Absolutely falls apart in the early/mid teens. By high level, there is zero balance, so I can see why there are no higher/end game campaigns that are official.

Master Baiter, fishing supplies vendor in Krasarang Wilds, renamed to "Jiang Ziya" in 9.1.5 PTR

Apparently, that is a very, very bad port/bugged version of the game, so buyer beware. Some people are saying that it has been 'fixed', but others are disagreeing. Long story short: Developer and publisher had a big fight. Developer pulled the game from Steam and sold it elsewhere, Publisher...

Adamantium did the same thing. When it was just Wolverine, it was cool. It was unique. Then more characters had it, it was being used in weapons, bullets, etc. Lost it's mystique. But at least all it is, is 'the strongest' metal. Vibranium is mystical, mutagenic, spiritual, all sorts of crap...

I dislike Wakandan Vibranium so much. It is such a cop-out for everything. I wish, a great deal, that it had never been introduced into the MCU (or comics, but that is a different beast).

If a bear wants to get into your chicken coop, it is getting in. Hell, they can break into houses if they are so inclined. I keep mine (10 Hens, 1 Rooster) in a fenced in area - I repurposed an old 30 x 30 dog kennel/run, then did two different sizes of chicken wire - one inside, one outside. I...

Anyone able to top my poopsocking back in the day?

The Monday group I am in, the DM has decades of experience and balances things based around our character composition and skill, rather than what should be 'fair'. Group currently consists of two Fighters (Both Battlemasters - One Polearm, One Great Sword), a Cleric (Life), and two wizards...

This game is an absolute buggy dumpster fire. It is a waste of money and if not for the fact that it bugged out and kept running in the background when I closed it, I would have a refund on it. Maybe it will get better with a patch, but it feels nothing like a King's Bounty game and is like an...

Old shyster tricks. Particularly the skeleton hand in the 'mirror'. Used to see things like that in a sideshow.

Movie was all smoke and no fire. Pretty as hell, some amazing shots, but it just went on and on and on. Definite art wankery.

Lots of that is in the books, but toned down severely. Netflix combined two different series set in the same world. The first set of three books are about Alina/Mal/The Darkling/etc. All of the things about Kez/Jasper/etc are from a tangentially related series set in the same world, but years...

And for the record, my 'quitting' WoW has nothing to do with the sexual harassment crap. It is because 9.0 lasted 8 months and 9.1 was/is trash.

I wish I could get into FF14, but the anime art style really puts me off... and so many of the character models look like trash. I have no interest in Amazon's new grind-fest MMO. Nothing from Korea interests me. I have done my time in EverQuest and have no intention of going back. Having...

And Lore is attacking all sorts of people, so you know that guy has some juicy skeletons in his closet.

Another 'We're sorry...'

Lots of punk chicks rocked that shit in the 80s/early 90s. Now it is all horrible hambeasts and chicks who stink of patchouli/being unwashed, mixed with the lingering odor of 'I have to disappoint my parents'.

Given that Lord of the Rings was an attempt to create an epic, English national mythology... yes.

And do not get me wrong, He-Man, like most of the series that aired aimed at children from the era, was just a vehicle to sell toys. It was not some epic, highbrow material. But they cannot even make it a proper vehicle to sell toys anymore.

They have forgotten why 'Member Berries' work so well. It is the nostalgia that the now-adults want to try and share something from their childhood with a younger generation. When you shit on the 'man-babies' WHO ARE YOUR CORE FUCKING AUDIENCE, of course things are going to end up in the shitter.

He was incredible in that role. Glad to see they kept him.

Going to be a super Rick Roll.

This cutscene was a dozen times more impactful than anything involving Sylvanas in this entire expansion... I wish it had gotten 1/10th the animation budget they gave to the shitty Sylvanas cinematic.

'Supposedly' FF14 takes something like '40' hours to 'get good', due to their never revamping things and just adding new stuff. I have not tried it to know, just going by what dozens of people have tried to sell me on.

I have not 'paid' anything into Arena beyond maybe two sets, when it first came out. Then I did the math and figured that even without doing drafting, just hitting 4 wins each day gave me around 60k gold between expansions. Using gems from infrequent drafts/gold-to-gem store sales, I just buy...

Dungeons and all of the cards associated with them are a trash mechanic. Not even 'fun' like Adventure or Mutate. Just... garbage.

The kid playing Sweet Tooth did a really good job. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this with my nieces (11 and 12). They got a kick out of it and it did not bore me to tears or have me spending my time surfing on a tablet.

The Death of Superman was a huge deal if you were a comic-kid when it happened... of course, it was all just a marketing ploy. Really soured the brew, so to speak. The Clone Saga in Spider-Man finally punched me out of comics entirely.
