It's dumb to portray anyone who wants to skin puppies in a positive light. You can look at the time period and go "well I suppose that's a thing that happened for the time period." But that is not what is being done. Disney isn't making a period piece; they're dressing up actors in period...

Santa Barbara, and I don't own a house (because 1.2m average is a bit out of my payrange currently, especially with 200k tacked on average increase during f'n covid) so I have to deal with nicer-than-average apartments. Which you get largely families/etc, but nowadays you also get trust fund...

I have a 75" 4k TV that has been... exemplary, in providing a solid moviegoing experience. I also have neighbors that like to fuck at random times of the day, loudly. So it pretty much accurately portrays the in-theatre experience. I suppose I could hire someone to yell at the screen...

I actually really enjoyed the one with Mario Van Peebles as the badguy; Final Dimension I think? Endgame was decent, but the way that Connor went out was dumb. The 90s animated series was actually surprisingly not bad either. 2 was really, really, really bad though. And I had a friend who...

Inhumans failed so now they are scraping even lower in the barrel? I like me some Kumail, but this seems like a dumb idea.

There's no way they get rid of Graha'Tia after all the ShB stuff, but I could see them setting away the elvaan twins and having them more or less retire, though maybe Allisaie will continue on as a full "adult" version and not just the angsty teenager we've seen for years now. I think Y'shtola...

I think I saw a trailer for Kumo and thought it looked retarded; like some chibi bullshit with a yelling girl's voice dubbed over. Then I saw the reviews from here and loaded it up; it's my only must watch of the season now. The same could be said for Bofuri; without the reviews here I would...

I had never heard of Berserk (wasn't really into manga) until I saw the early 2ks anime (which was great minus never including Skull Knight or you know, any reason to not think everything is fucked at the last episode). But I read a bunch after the fact and really enjoyed the Golden animes that...

I think it's all the land and conversation. Being stuck in an environment where you are guaranteed to drown or get eaten by a scary sea monster, in mostly silence, has a way different dread than "Oh hey there's an island right here, and shitloads of icebergs, and constant conversation" feel. I...

Liking this so far. Shooting is several magnitudes more satisfying in general in ME1, that's for sure. Also liking the condensed leveling stuff so far; having more points to spend per level is nice and you can get some more immediate "boosts" vs. slowly climbing each tree to unlock weapon...

I'm definitely not saying it's bad; the original is one of the best and tensest experiences in gaming imo. This still good, just not as good as the original in most aspects.

Yea Warren Ellis; likely part of the reason it ended at season 4 so they could "distance" themselves from him.

Vastly different feel to this game. Not really much dread and there's very little "open" water that you have to traverse. Land stuff's mechanic isn't nearly as interesting. Girl talks too much and it has a much heavier focus on the story/narration that you don't have to find ala datapads/etc...

Hah, fucking great. Alucard to horse: "A bit less of your shit, please." Great start. I'll binge this before Monday for sure.

Yeah I noticed that after like episode two. Usually I just go "K credits song, next episode." But -clearly- something happened in between episode 2 and 3, which made me go back and watch the after credits. It's not a preview; it's actual story. Mildly annoying but now that I know it's there I...

That guy used to be able to take a punch, but he's just been rattled so often the pennies are loose now.

Force Awakens wasn't bad/shitty or even close. It was, however, an uninspired rehash of A New Hope. Rey isn't likeable but the first movie of the new trilogy wasn't dogshit. It just wasn't -that- much better than the prequels and not as good as the original trilogy movies.

Unless that is run on something that is -stupid- expensive, I can see it falling into frame hell/disconnects pretty early in the lifecycle

Christ, at 40 I would kill for that kind of body sans roids/TRT. I mean, nobody says he wasn't, but man.

I really liked Luke Cage at the start. Season 1 > season 2 though for sure. Actor who played him was likeable and to this day I still have "Long live the chief" in my default playlist because the intro acts at the club were pretty cool. I actually didn't like Daredevil very much, but Punisher...

Sphere is a bit of a strange book. It goes from undersea shenanigans to just some meta-Psycho stuff in the habitat and then just ends with the main characters pretending it all didn't happen. It's... decent as a read, ok as a movie, and not very fulfilling as an idea.

That's a lot of work to distance themselves from Ellis.

I want to say you overpaid; it probably takes a lot of leves, but you can level it pretty easily with some of the 2 item recipes that are just easy gathers from Botanist. It's been awhile but I definitely remember that being the "easyistt" in terms of what you needed to get. So many of the...

Crafting for me was basically just doing the efficient leves and the Crystarium quests. BSM and ARM synergize so f'n well with leveling each other, it's almost criminal sometimes. Spam ingots on one, use to make leves for other. Swap each tier. It makes really good use of the crafter xp...

Wicked City was a surprisingly decent ero anime. The old guy has some of the best lines in 80s anime for sure.

I love Event Horizon; watched it like a month or so ago. I 100% equated it to the Warp from Warhammer 40k when I first saw it, and still think of it that way today. I actually really liked the characters and their interactions; the only character that was kind of lacking was the main chick...

It seems inconsistent to me; some shows just goes right to the guest, others he has like.... 10 two-minute spots before that you have to just keep skipping to the end to avoid. It's not ideal, and I have premium.

I mean one of them got blowed up with 'zilla breath I think, but that's all we were given.

Man I must have some censored audio and scenes on the HBOmax version; no "dump the fucking monkey" just "dump the monkey" and it matches her lips. I enjoyed it; and honestly the human story stuff was exactly on par with the trash human story in every other Toho film. Homely scientist girl is...

No spoilers; keep playing and listening to radio signals and going to whatever it points you to.

Years ago, I was the only person online in ISIS for weeks on end. I eventually left (and transferred servers to sargantanas. Fuck me for bad choices.) but maybe the moon expac will have people that want to play and will come back?

I take it back; definitely watching a followup to Megalo Box. 2!

Space Marines are always going to be kind of "wtf" balanced, because they decided they were super maleable and you have melee heavy chapters and ranged chapters and then shit like the Frostwolves. Does GW still put out leagues/etc? Or is that more shop based these days? Edit - I'm legit...

It's been... awhile, since I've played 40k; I think the last basic set that came out was Black Templars as the Space Marine army vs. Dark Eldar when I picked up pieces. This was years after I had traded away my entire Blood Angel army (2nd Edition woooo hey Mephiston brokeness) and Eldar armies...

Yay more MHA. That's the only thing that stood out for me.

DS/3DS games would be the biggest no-brainer to port to PC, specifically because you can just create a viewer for both screens. (Emulators have this shit down pat, the actual companies can just ape it and call it a day) It's tied heavily to having a dual screen layout, which you can do in...

I have only ever seen clips of the various fights (mostly superman coming back and the final with Steppenwolf at the reactor) from the theatrical. This was... this was actually pretty enjoyable, with a bunch of straight up comic-book-nerd guy nods. F'n long (that epilogue stuff was interesting...

Localization effort for hardware that only affects people outside japan. Last I checked, there's still a fairly large cultural bias against PC gaming in general (one of our resident japan living folk can correct me) so it needs to be like a no-brainer big seller vs. a fairly niche game like the...

When you turn 40. In like... 5 hours. That's kind of a sign you are getting old.
