    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's my secret hope with the china flu although I'm skeptical. Movie industry takes a beating from being closed the better part of a year so when it starts running again the push is to go back to what's proven to work. Of course BLM is essentially twisting that 180 degrees. Hopefully...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    My memory may be a bit faded but I feel like 2, in addition to being one of the best "assassin" games also laid out most of the main lore for the series. IIRC that's where you get the memories going back to adam and eve and what happened to the ancient aliens.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    After not playing DH for years I'm enjoying the GoD build. In groups though if I fall behind even a little I have problems keeping momentum since there's little to tag. What are people using for speed rifts, UE Multi?

    Total War: Warhammer

    You just need to get over "good" and "evil" and play like every faction that's not yours is a potential enemy. Unless you're trying to get every allied Legendary Lord just conquest everyone. Hell, half the time the trait for defeating an "ally" lord is better than having the lord anyway when...

    Satisfactory is more an economy sim. 3D first person Factorio but with less combat. No waves of enemies, just somewhat random wildlife that you clear out when expanding/exploring.

    Satisfactory

    Yea, he does funny stuff in game. Even with inventory hacks his builds are hours and days long. The sheer randomness of everything he does shows he's not copy/pasting much in save editors.

    Total War: Warhammer

    The AI is bad at siege defense too if you have good artillery and/or outrange their ranged. Drop their towers quick than fast forward while your artillery clear the walls uncontested before sending in any melee.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Just about every race has outpost lords that will harass you. As you get more familiar with the map you'll learn what rivalries the AI likes to push, although it's not the same every game. Then you'll play a different race and relearn everything. Pretty soon you'll have hundreds of hours...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Unless you really want that Legendary Lord to lead a stack of yours there's really no long term downside to just using conquest to clean up the rest of Ulthuan (or any other stubborn confederations when you're not High Elf). Half the time, if you wait too long in the game the AI has picked...

    30 for 30

    Tried to link specifically to the new 2 part Lance Armstrong episodes but TMDB wasn't having it. Anyway, given the average age of FoH members I suspect many of us watched Armstrong dominate and wore his bracelets. New 30 for 30 about him that I thought was pretty good. Hard to say he cheated...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Trying to measure the value of the DLC's is different for TW:WH than a lot of other games. You're still playing the same game just as a new race/lord so it's pretty easy to get 40+ hours out of a DLC, or even more if you play every lord in the DLC. That said, unless you have some reason to...

    Total War: Warhammer

    If you start as the first lord from any race you can do the "tutorial" that gives you prompts and missions to guide you through the first 10-20 turns. Maybe do the Vortex map first so things aren't quite as overwhelming and unstructured. High elves are considered noob friendly as they have...

    The Edenville Dam in Midland, MI (world HQ of DOW Chemical) collapses forcing thousands to evacuate

    Any update on the chemical ponds and their contents? Floods suck but they happen and there's a pretty standard cleanup process but not when there's nasty shit in the water. My wife's last semester of undergrad was canceled when her school town flooded. Corona closing schools and postponing...

    Jeremy's move good or bad? He'll likely survive more weeks now as a "free agent" but the producers chose to show it negatively with the jury commenting. I'm thinking maybe final 3 but no votes for defensive play with no offense.

    They cut the chick from BR2049 but kept McKinnon. I thought it was enjoyable but would have liked to see the fuck-me eyes deArmas gives him in this scene incorporated.

    Russell's first season was 19, and he went immediately into HvV which was 20. The problem is Tyson, Rob, Parv, and Sandra were also there with Russell so they at least saw his play style. Rob and Tyson got their wins after HvV so another reason why using that as some kind of demarcation is...

    I've only ever watched the seasons as they've happened so my memory gets tainted by each season. Was there some shift in gameplay or idols or something that signifies old vs new school? They all talk about it like it's a real thing but is there something to it? Is it just everyone before...

    I haven't played Imperator: Rome so I can't speak to its reviews, but in general Paradox grand strategy reviewers are nit-picky and harsh. There's so many things happening in their games and the reviewers will complain about some obscure diplomacy scenario and stuff like that.

    I know it would likely ruin a lot about the show but for a long time I've though a "behind the scenes" for these kinds of shows would be kind of cool. I mean more than ponderosa. Stuff like the logistics behind camp, food and water, the camera/producer crews, challenges. This last episode in...

    That's kind of the problem with these social-competition shows. What makes entertaining television and makes the fans happy isn't necessarily what makes players "win." If we could have some crazy fucker burn socks and dump rice every season (and more importantly, shit talk about it in...

    I agree with you on principle, but some winners didn't even really "play." If they said at final tribal my strategy was to do nothing so I wouldn't be a threat or piss anyone off then, sure, their gameplay won. Too often though they try to pathetically pitch some weak moves that only existed in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My only gripe about the new sets is that they don't count for conquests. Years of war is laughably easy now with the power bloat and Masters always sucked ass but they are undo-able for the new sets.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, it's kind of ridiculous how easy it is to GR75 and unlock T16 on alts on basically your first GR. A couple thousand blood and a dozen or so rare upgrades and you've bypassed all but the grind phase of the game. All in all though I can't complain too much. For a game with no subscription...

    I'm guessing there'll be no "Sandra Sit Out Bench" when the outcasts compete to get back in either. It's not even that I think she didn't really earn her wins, it's that she thinks her shit don't stink. Literally the poster child for butt hurt juries voting dumbly, twice.

    Time will tell but I can't decide if Wendell openly trying to sell his vote is a good move or not.
