I watched the first episode. I was going to say it was funnier than the combined tax code, but then I remembered 'Lowering the Bar', so now I literally can't think of anything less funny.

"Is this all my fault?" "..." "I regret nothing !" lol.

That's standard 5E, you can't cast spells with somatic components without a free hand, and many cleric spells require you to use their holy symbol as a material component. That rule gets largely ignored because it's annoying though, 'The holy symbol is on the shield' is one generally accepted...

Eh, this was ok. It bugged me that the solution to every interaction with alien technology was 'the feels'.

Project Hail Mary Andy Weir - Hmm, it's a bit hard to talk about what this book is about without major spoilers. It starts with a scientist with memory damage being awoken from a coma by a medical robot of some kind, and finding himself in a room with two corpses. He tries to find out what is...

Eh I don't know, minus points for cringe dialogue, plus points for lesbian sex, seems largely neutral. Is it the defiling childhood memories of Powerpuff girls that's an issue ?

My main takeway from Harrow the Ninth is that while Harrow may have appeared a bit unbalanced from Gideon's point of view, it was all an illusion and she was in fact utterly bugshit crazy. ;)

Blue Core - Rule 34 strikes back, or the author took 'sex dungeon' a little too literally. I lol'ed. To my surprise, other than the author's kinky sex fantasies ( which are in separate labelled chapters if that kind of thing is not to your taste ) I actually found the rest of the story very...

The Aiel are the whitest of white folk, it's what makes Rand stick out in Emond's field - that's he so much whiter than they are.

There's pretty much no chance of this, Jordan was a real prude and was known for sending angry cease and desist legal notices to erotic fanfic writers.

It's the opposite of Gattaca - the story of that is that the human spirit can't be predicted via genetics and the drive to succeed can overcome your innate traits. The story of Ice is that you can't compete with the superior race in any way, even if one of them tries to make you feel better...

The problem I had with Pop Squad was that, while preventing people from having children is an absolute requirement for widespread immortality, it was pretty heavy handed. 'Cop with a gun' is really the best solution that society could come up with ? Given the age of the first kids he's also...

Yeah I found most of these pretty disappointing. Life Hutch was masterclass animation, but the story was a bit 'uh, ok'. I think I liked Snow in the Desert the best.

You aren't missing much - I only watched the first episode but it was very forgettable.

Haven't read any of the comics. Thought this one was pretty good, but obviously suffers due to proximity to Invincible. Not just because Invincible is a lot better, but because it made it impossible for me to believe that any of the dysfunctional Jupiter mob had managed to avoid having a three...

Spider has it's faults, but being predictable isn't one of them. I have to commend the voice actress - she makes a deranged psychopath cute and entertaining ;p

You know you can actually get real world cov performance from warcraftlogs as well, you don't need to compare to a sim. E.g. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/26#boss=2407&class=Druid&spec=Balance&covenant=2 vs...

"Take that you commie bastaaard !" LOL.

New stuff : Treasure King - a bit rough around the edges writing wise, but was still entertaining in a 'Defiance of the Fall' type way. Technically ongoing, but future uncertain given the recent author notes. Undermind - Young woman recovering from crippling mountain climbing injuries has a...

Yeah, pretty much this. Minutes watched doesn't make a lot of sense cross streaming platform in the same way it does with broadcast tv, in that non-subscribers certainly aren't going to watch it, no matter how good it is. You might be surprised on sub drivers though, kids are weird. I know at...

I'm not sure that will actually change anything. Maybe wanna-be elitists that have difficulty working out how to install addons ? Those people probably invited solely based on ilvl anyway, so that's probably an improvement regardless.

Heh, think of the poor PR guy that has to spin that one: > 'Ok, so any potential PR issues I should be aware of ?' 'I, uh, I fought for the nazis in WW2' > '.....' 'and um, spent the rest of the time since then assassinating people for Hydra' > '....' 'I got better !' > '/facepalm'

Really depends how the super serum works - if it makes them 400% stronger, then sure, if it adds X strength, then no - he'd still be stronger but the gap would be tiny. It was obviously the latter for the original cap in that he was weak as shit to start with, and not noticeably weaker than...

This is surprisingly good. Great casting for Brekker, which is ironic given he isn't supposed to be in it ;p. I'm guessing they are taking the long view toward future seasons.

I liked the ending, even if it was a bit sappy. Hope they get another season. One thing that bugged me : One thing that didn't bug me :

Mark is right there - he doesn't want to look like a shithead in front of him.

In the episode for less than 5 seconds, still steals the show.

"Four hundred billion dollars for the world's most expensive nosebleed" LOL. Even Rex was firing on all cylinders this one, his reaction to why he was chosen was hilarious.

This was bad 8(. The opening sequence was pretty good quality, massive bloodbath action sequence. Then the rest of the movie happened. It's about what you'd expect from a Mortal Kombat movie I guess, although the character introductions and catchphrases were so forced I wouldn't be surprised...

Eh, that's art for you. Nothing wrong with not liking a particular style. Plenty of shows I've never watched because I don't like the art.

Vivy : this just seems very good overall. My predictions - the bear is a lying sack of shit. Joran : this has really nice art, good animation and an interesting story. Will keep going with this one. To Your Eternity : remains intriguing. One of the benefits of such a strong first episode is...

The author is pretty good, Six of Crows was a great book, so I look forward to this with interest.

And yeah, the human drama stories are pretty bad. The lesbian one is bearable, but everything to do with Ed's wife is absolutely awful.

There are obviously some huge space enthusiasts involved in the show. The painstaking recreation of the old space tech, but real and theoretical, is pretty amazing. I am betting there were some bitter arguments from technical consultants over that scene and 'drama' won ;p ( A bigger problem is...

Personally, I kind of wonder about that, I suspect a lot of it is unfamiliarity of nuance in language. I wonder what native Japanese speakers think on that topic.

Fumetsu no Atana was unexpectedly very different from the usual run of stuff. I thought it was really good

I felt bad for the Titan, poor guy, all he wants is a snack and nice lie down but he can't find his house and people keep attacking him for no reason ! ;p

It seems a fair guess that missions 1 through 9 got killed by various aliens ;p Seriously though I think it was more the first *human* mission to mars, not the first mission to mars.
