    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    You're such a whiny faggot. You're right, I skimmed your posts because they're so often acting out some homoerotic fantasy that people are targeting you or some shit. It's pathetic and weird. I'm not one to kink shame, but I'm not interested in feeding into your sexual proclivities, so I'll go...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    And they'll probably fuck that up by casting some ugly bitch like they did for Fringorilla in the Witcher. Me reading what sounds like boring books doesn't matter. If it's shit source material then they shouldn't be trying to use it to build a narrative story. And if they are, then all they...

    LOL did you quick edit to a different emoji? (edit: then switched it back from the googly eyes to the thinking emoji. Every important decisions you're making here).

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The fun thing is people saying others are illiterate or being deliberately obtuse are the ones who don't seem to know what adapting a script actually means. What do you think "faithfully adapting" a source into a tv show would mean? That they couldn't have dialog if the dialog wasn't already in...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Ah, documentary format.... Still don't understand. They could also just focusing on telling the story of the history and world without derpy dialog or exposition that is stilted? You seem to think bad writers or producers can be made good by simply calling what form they're using by a...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Nobody is saying they have to restrict themselves only to things already explicitly existing in the IP, only that there are industry standards regarding adaptions and "based on and "inspired by etc. These clowns seem intent on shitting on the very IP they're hired to work with to act on...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    All screenplay adaptations involve edits and rewrites and taken liberties, even the ones staying as true to the source material as possible. It's another idiotic point to try to say it couldn't be a faithful adaptation because full dialog wasn't written out. I guess any show or movie isn't a...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    That's the fun part. Disproportionately over represent black actors and the talent pool can't keep up and they suck and then it just creates more people who dislike or are skeptical of black actors. These Hollywood liberals are either dumb or secretly racist setting black actors up for failure...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Sure, no problem, when it makes sense within the context of the story and doesn't distract from the story. It probably happens a lot and nobody notices or cares. When producers seem intent on making people care about their casting diversity hires, then they better be amazing. Most often what...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I explained it. You're choosing to pretend you don't understand, I guess, so you can eye roll shit that explains the thing you don't understand? Why? So you can support social justice messaging being forced into a story that didn't need it, that that very distraction and effort is at the...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Tolkien has the capacity for black offspring, so it makes sense that existing characters described as fair skinned are suddenly cast as black to diversify the cast! And there could have been black hobbits, so just because there haven't been doesn't mean there shouldn't be random mix skin color...

    This is always the go to arguments of people so retarded they can barely manage to consume entertainment, much less understand how to craft it. It's a fantasy world so there are no rules? Nevermind the immense time and effort every fantasy writer is required to spend creating and following...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Sure, sure, but it's a huge red flag. And not because the meanie guys on the FoH would rather see a bad show with white cast than a good show with a black cast. It's a red flag because it shows they aren't simply hyper focused on making the best show possible but instead are focusing on a bunch...

    Monster truck dlc would maybe get my attention. Otherwise, it always ends up feeling like the same ol same ol, but where they aren't fixing old bugs or polishing the basics into something better.

    Will have to check it out. Regular China 5 spice has something in it my girlfriend doesn't like so I stopped using it. I'll do real palm sugar and tamarind or Sichuan peppercorns (not convinced it's worth the hassle), but I don't mind using nontraditional substitutions, too. Tajin has been great...

    Went to our favorite and only edible Chinese restaurant in the area. It's Americanized, but good. Ordered sesame chicken, but didn't want all the sesame seeds, so the lady said "okay orange chicken." Rustled. Then it came out and the sauce wasn't reduced or really coating the chicken. It's been...

    I can't even remember all the shit I get bored and fed up over... except the third game in a row where you'd get water droplets on the screen and the windshield while in cockpit mode. Lazy shit like that just broke me. I enjoyed the hotwheels dlc in FH3 though, so desire to again be fed up...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Game ran fine on series x for me and look really good, but not great. I wish there was a better mode/support/ability for the improved graphics as it wasn't worth the fps hit but looked great then, but it wasn't anything close to a deal breaker. I'm assuming those better graphics look great on...

    My chick with dick couldn't fuck Panam. Fucking bullshit. Worst game ever. But seriously, was hoping for a bit more romance options. A house to decorate with sex slaves. I dunno, something more. For such a progressive game, it was decidedly not progressive in a lot of ways (including I couldn't...

    It depends. If you're in a city with well established local spots, then they may still be doing unique recipes. Some places do enough of a business to thrive for the long term. Most don't, though (no surprise, most restaurants in general don't survive, much less thrive, but privately funded or...

    And often just dough and sauce from the same food services truck that half the non-chain places in town use.

    I like Annie's Mac and cheese. Organic processed foods are often dumb and counterintuitive, but Annie's Mac and cheese just tastes better to me. Waiting for sales to stock up can usually find them for a dollar a box. This one is my all time favorite box Mac and cheese.

    Same reason the one kid was killed by Vecna in the middle of a road, which presumably opened a gate like the other locations of deaths as Vecna himself says that's the purpose of the deaths.... but it was never mentioned or shown again until they needed it to rip open. Convenience. Would have...

    Have been using the crystal deodorant the last few years, but it seemed like it was lasting way too long and stopped working as well and not applying very smoothly.

    One thing I didn't get us when Vecna killed someone it created a gate. And they went to great lengths getting into the Watergate and gate in the trailer.

    Stranger Things

    This is not actually good story telling, though becoming more common. Good story telling will build characters people can find something to like about them, not just add characters until someone is bound to like at least one of them. But even sympathy or likability is a shallow device. More...

    Did a weird thing. Frozen steaks onto the grill to sear, then seasoned, then cooked sous vide. Was backwards of everything I've tried in the past, but worked well enough I might do it intentionally in the future instead of just as a last minute situation. Been just doing salt and pepper on...

    Forcing kids to eat certain foods or the "clear you plate" mentality may just causes more issues. Same with appeasing them with always providing other choices or too much attention over not eating or praise when they do eat. Just make dinner, put it in front of them, don't give them too much...
