    The Expanse

    I have no problem with that, it was a pretty forgettable sub-plot in the books. Pulling the cool stuff out of book 2 forward and wrapping it into the close of book 1 works just fine for me. And yeah in fairness the Bobbie intro was a bit anti-climactic - I think it was probably more for...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    Rothfuss is continuing the proud tradition of fat bearded fantasy authors writing a couple good books then deciding they can't be fucked and sticking both middle fingers up to their fans. On the bright side, he went straight to "nah I'm rich now, why would I write lol" without dragging things...

    The Expanse

    One thing that struck me even more with these episodes was how much the visual design of this show is drawing on the Mass Effect series. That opening scene with Bobbie could have easily been a ME cinematic. And yeah, overall that was an awesome start to the season. Love how much they've...

    The Magicians

    The first episode was definitely hit and miss, but I think S1 was good enough that it's worth getting a decent way into the season before coming to conclusions.

    The Magicians

    Yeah no shit - Alice might have have world class titties, but she's also a bit of a headcase, even compared to the rest of the crew. On the other hand, a week of sex/drugs/magic on Ibiza with Eliot and Margo would pretty much be the penultimate party experience - hard to blame whatshisname for...

    The Magicians

    Alice at least has some A+ titties. I'm usually more of a B-cup guy, but it's impossible to not be impressed by those. The others just seem like generic hot actress chicks to me, but w/e.

    The Magicians

    Was it confirmed anywhere that they were actually dead? I thought they were just knocked out/possibly dying from some internal bleeding or some shit. Episode felt a bit all over the place - they're definitely going way off script, but I guess it paid off in S1. Some of the stuff they're doing...

    Quite stoked for this after reading the second and third book last year. A lot of cool shit they could explore going forward.

    Rick and Morty

    Calling it now, Harmon has blown his creative wad and the show jumped the shark at the end of S2, just like Community.

    The Young Pope

    I only got 20 minutes into the first episode. Didn't help that my copy didn't have subtitles for the Italian dialogue, but I still thought it felt pretty flat. I figured this shit was going to be set back in time, with some Borgias level craziness going on, but instead we get Jude Law bitching...

    Yeah asking for an upgrade from 10mg hydrocodone to 30mg oxycodone is an awesome way to be labelled a drug seeker and cut off. It's retarded, but them's the breaks.
  16. Azrayne

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    Haven't tried hydrocodone, but I've heard it's weaker than oxycodone, so 1 - 2 pills a day seems like a kinda small dose for a condition you need surgery for, unless the pills have some massive quantity in them. I might just be talking out of my ass here, but I'm fairly certain nerve pain is...

    I found it wasn't that bad with the shorter acting opiates - unless you're one of those people who wakes up during the night to take a shot, you usually start the day a little sick, so taking a dump is really easy, then you run back to your room and get on. And because I was a bum of a junkie...

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    Probably not an unhealthy attitude. I would never judge anyone for making the decision to take opiates, but they can absolutely hijack your life in a crazy way. Looking back in hindsight now that I don't generally feel strong cravings anymore, the power of the whole thing still gets to me...

    Damn, 8mg cold turkey would be harsh. What happened? Some insurance issue? . I do have a friend who said "fuck it" and jumped off 60mg methadone - he'd only been on it for 6 or 8 months but apparently it was a uniquely horrifying experience. And yeah the long duration is a pain. At least with...

    Speaking of suboxone, just dropped to 3mg. Hopefully this shit will be done with in another 2 or 3 months. I seem to be building up momentum and doing bigger drops as I get closer to finishing, I just want this fucking taper over with so I can go on with life. And yeah tramadol is a weird one...

    Erowid 1,4-butanediol Vault They don't mention "turns you into 'that guy' who rambles on about how high he is on the internet' as a side effect :/ Bad form. Nasty shit anyway, impossible to dose reliably and very fiendish. The whole night was pretty gross after the first 2ml tbh - pretty much...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Did I miss something in that "gameplay trailer" or does it look like you can only have 3 skills on your bar at one time? Cause that sucks balls even harder than the 8-skill limit in Inquisition.

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I think the whole concept of an endgame that can be equated to an economy is the problem. The whole "farm gear so you can do the content on a higher difficulty to farm gear to do the content on a higher difficulty to farm gear..." treadmill is just not that fun on a fundamental level. They...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I really want to like it, but I just can't seem to make it happen. During vanilla when I was in highschool I did the whole hardcore raiding 40 man server top guild thing - it kinda sucked having to deal with guild drama and server politics, but I was gaming 4pm - 2am every weeknight anyway...

    Just finished the show. Binged it in 2 sessions about a week apart, I know I'm late to the party but really cbf watching shit a week at a time these days. Enjoyed the fuck out of it, it lagged a bit towards the end, and the writing could definitely have been tighter, but they made up for it...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    Apparently he has a long history of being kind of cunty to his fans. The sad part is he's a pretty average writer imo, compared to a lot of other names who are putting out books at a consistent pace. #1 was a solid-but-not-mindblowing fantasy book, the setting and magic system were kinda cool...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I could get behind an old republic movie - I liked a lot of the design and aesthetic of the prequels, an actual decent movie in that setting could be awesome.

    Goddamn hippies. A friend of mine who's really into the doof scene once invited me to a "group meditation" at some chick's house. This involved 20 minutes of meditating in her living room, then sitting out on the back porch eating vegan food while they all chain-smoked cigarettes. Say what you...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Finally caught this last night, it felt like 110 minutes of "Last episode on Dr. Strange..." They really needed at least another 15 or 20 minutes in there to make it possible to give a a shit about the characters, as it was it felt like they just jumped from scene to scene to convey to rough...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

    Also the whole setting was spawned by a book written for kids in the 8 - 12 age bracket. There's only so much you can do to try and reach internal consistency at that point, even if she did a pretty good job at ageing the books up with the readerbase on a lot of other counts. You just have to...

    Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

    I have to admit that the idea of a movie in the Harry Potter universe without being tied to the plot of the books (which I loved, but were obviously difficult to break down into movies) is appealing. There's a hint that they're going to try to tie it into the Grindelwald stuff, which could be...

    I can see him doing ok as Lando as long as the role isn't too large. I don't think Glover has the range to carry a large chunk of a movie as a major character, but if his screen time is comparable to Empire then I think he'd do ok. The one I really feel bad for is whoever they sucker into...
