Science! (Plus some nice temporary buffs you can get by doing it)

That doesn't sound like a game that is supposed to be released in a month...

I dunno why but I'm amusing myself greatly just running around blowing things up with Moze. I think I'd rather be playing some new MMO, but there's a certain zen quality to mass murdering mayhem and discovering interesting quirks about the legendary guns and how they can be useful in different...

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/coronavirus-prompts-vermont-to-order-costco-target-to-stop-sale-of-non-essential-items I understand their argument, but this seems like an odd move to make.

Been playing the new Lovecraftian DLC and it's pretty good. The new enemy types are pretty slick and the storyline / antagonists are actually much better than the main game's plot. That was actually true of the last DLC as well so it's clear they have writers who know what they are...

Right now would be the perfect time to release a new MMO... Me and my friends are really jonesin for good old fashioned online socializing

The Reapers, as a bunch of bladed tentacle worms, really did not look super friendly. I'm gonna guess they aren't going to be super happy with getting prank-called like that. La Sirena seems to be much more than a stock-average freighter. It has phasers and photon torpedos for fucks sake, how...

https://www.boredpanda.com/man-tested-positive-covid-19-coronavirus-describe-symptoms/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic This was a very difficult account to read. Obviously not everyone is going to have a reaction like this, but this doesn't seem like 'a cold'.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/magazine/coronavirus-family.html It's a long-ish read but I had been looking for such a 1st-person account of what it's like to have a non-life-threatening case of the COVID. Bottom-line being that it looks pretty damn awful and long lasting even if you...

The whole movie was, supposedly, based on the director's (Dan Scanlon) relationship with his brother after his father died when he was very young. So the core story about the younger brother seeing the older as his surrogate 'dad' was the story he wanted to tell. The setting and all the...

There also seemed to be a side plot about the magical creatures restoring themselves after being exposed to the magic staff. This wasn't fully developed though and I'm not sure if it was something that was meant to bigger and got cut down or what.

Premise of movie : Being a wizard is hard so we started using electricity and gas. Protagonist: Goes from level 1 to level 18 and is able to reshape reality in a single day.

It was decent. I feel large parts of the plot were telegraphed a bit much, but that was okay. Loads of little Easter eggs hidden in the background.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/16/816707182/map-tracking-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-in-the-u-s That graphic, at first glance, doesn't seem to show much of a difference in growth rates for the states that have locked everyone inside vs those which had partying on the beach...

Am I misremembering or did Avery Brooks always say "I'm not black, I'm brown"?

Well you are forgetting that all Romulans are now gymnast-level ninja assassins.

I liked it. There was a bit of the 'oh c'mon how dumb are you??' bits here and there, but it was a nice update to the property as a whole. I'm also a big fan of Oliver Jackson-Cohen so that helped.

Fiance also was at WB Mason and was giving walking papers yesterday. This wasn't a 'we are furloughing people for the duration...' sort of thing , it was full on severance + PTO payout. I guess they had been wanting to do a total restructuring of the company for awhile and saw this as the best...

This is the sort of positive news I really needed right now.

As was forseen... But why announce the Disney+ release now? Who the hell is not just waiting until April 3rd?

She's a Perceptor (what Harvard calls their adjuncts because Harvard). I was most shocked by the seafood business until they reminded me that all their fish is sourced from Canada and elsewhere and is no longer coming in. You would think they could find a way to pivot and make use of locally...

In the past 72 hours the following people I know have let it be known they have been laid off: Retail. Customer service. Optometrist. Lawyer. Production Designer. Teacher. Seafood Importer. Accountant. Cameraman. Surveyor/GIS analyst. Dentist. Office Products Distributor. Insurance adjuster...

I thought for most of the season I was watching Battlestar Galactica, but it turns out its actually Mass Effect

Seems like a cool Dungeon Keeper successor. I've not played any of this series, but just from the tutorials it seems like it's worth it at this low price point as a fun distraction.

I forsee sales for this being through the fucking roof. A little slice of stability is extremely compelling right now.

In theory the ace inhibitor is there to bring you to parity with non hypertensive folks yes? If there is overshoot and the ace level is inhibited well past that of baseline then I could see how that presented a risk. Then again hypertension is its own risk. Significant other (germaphobe and...

Amusingly Universal announced this afternoon that they are doing just that. Invisible Man, Emma, and the Hunt are available to rent digital as of this Friday and the second Trolls movie will be available the same day as it's theatrical release in April.

There is a point in the opening act where we see Finn, Poe and Chewie on an adventure together (and then again later plus Rey) where you can't help but think: "Damnit, I want to see more of their non-world-ending adventures". I really do hope that we get an animated series set after TLJ that...

They need to pull the rip cord and toss this to digital ASAP. Aint nobody taking their kids to a movie theater in the midst of this. If they switched to Digital delivery they could at least benefit from the current marketing.

Here's the full text of the MA decree:

I quite like the 'chapter' structure for the stories that have a static plot. You get a strong core narrative plus the random events that shape the characters in interesting ways + you see the characters get older and eventually retire. The Legacy stuff is also nice in that you can recruit...

The Bad Batch arc was quite good. Lots of really dynamic 'camera work' that showcases just how much better at overall cinematography they've gotten. Id like to think that, as rejects, they never got the chip and also managed to survive past the Clone Wars.

Well how about this then...

I really like Cristobal Rios and the holograms. I didn't even realize that the actor was the artist/painter dude from Heroes.

This is available for streaming now, a few days ahead of its original schedule owing to Coronavirus (and trying to capitalize on people stuck at home)

This is on Disney+ this Sunday, 3 months ahead of schedule. Disney is trying to make people feel less stressed in this troubling time by having kids drive their parents mad with looped musicals.

Picked this up on a lark and I am quite surprised by how dynamic and fun it is. It has tactical battles like an OgreBattle or Xcom, but has an overarching storyline like Fable mixed with a legacy style boardgame.

The test itself that has been developed in the U.S. is like something out of a victorian novel. Its incredibly labor intensive as a very precise but arcane series of chemicals are applied to the sample and nearly all the work is done by hand. A good technician can, apparently, only process...

Delayed again, this time due to COVID-19. They just need to stop trying to release this thing.

It's a weird take on the digital toy idea space.
