    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Don't remember anything like that, although there might have been a way to put all the white/grey items in the trade window. Vendors have limited gold, that resets when you rest, so you would still need to change what is listed. I think right click sends the item to the trade window though, so...

    Alto Knights (2024)

    Barry Levinson's last good movie was in the 80s with Rainman. I wouldn't expect much.

    Invincible

    I'm still a bit annoyed at the mid season break, but at the least the episode didn't disappoint. (very small spoilers, I guess) The highlight was when Amber As an aside, I watched this on Prime through my browser and didn't see a commercial, so don't know if it's Ublock Origin blocking ads...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    If anyone else has no idea who she is... with a resume like this, I'm sure it will be great: Director credits are a bit longer, at least (but not much better):

    I doubt anyone here would have the stomach to diamond hands 39 dollar coins for this long and anyone who does is probably going to hold them till it (they) die.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Hearing opinions contrary to your own is part of critically thinking about those ideas. Only exposing yourself to ideas you already hold is just mental masturbation to stroke your own ego. Of course there are limits to what one can handle when presented with extremist views to your own, but...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I try to expose myself to views I don't agree with on a weekly basis by watching the discussion sections of Bill Mahar's show (while skipping all the shitty "comedy" bits). Although, I admit, some of the interviews I've had to turn off/skip, like when he was sucking Pelosi's cock way too hard...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    To try to put it nicely, it's such a small thing that I think Tyson's shtick for these comments is more about having something "interesting" to talk about on a TV show that tries to cater to a wide audience (that wont understand/care about anything astrophysics/science related).

    Masters of the Air

    My guess would be that they thought the American Army Air Force in WW2 having the highest casualty rate of any US force in the war while also enjoying the best conditions in their downtime would lead to good story telling. There should be compelling and interesting stories to tell, as the...

    Home Improvement

    You can work concreate at an angle, if you want. You just need to use less water when mixing the concrete: Or you could frame out the whole thing and make a step (video): Or, if you have really high winds, you can use a removable 4x4 post or steel round pole to reinforce it (this might not...

    The Gentlemen

    My opinion of Netflix couldn't be much lower. I expect them to fuck up anything they touch and am pleasantly surprised when something good actually sneaks through.

    The Gentlemen

    What's this? A show full of attractive women with good writing? *what year is it? meme* It's certainly as good as the movie and a top tier Guy Ritchie project. Frankly, I'm surprised Netflix gave it the green light, since they seem to be committed to vomiting up as much trash as possible.

    Dune Awakening

    Don't know who this Sony Online Entertainment person is, but she used to look "better." So it might have just been a bad day/week: About 3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible

    The Video Thread

    Those birds are tough. Knew a guy who flew Cobra gunships in Vietnam and while he personally lived through three crashes, he said a Loach pilot in his squad survived around 17 crashes, walking away from most (or all, don't remember exactly).

    Shōgun

    That worked. I have access to a Hulu with Disney+ account; so when scanning over the first episode on Disney+ I didn't see a commercial break set up, like it is usually on Hulu. I will actually watch it later to confirm. Also, the Hulu live TV package has always had commercial on the FX, FXX...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    He also wants to clarify, in light of all the heat that the DEI consultant Sweet Baby (D)iversity is getting, that Beth made the game shitty all on it's own, and didn't get any outside help:

    From 2012 Comic Con. Voice actors reading Star Wars in their characters.

    Home buying thread

    Depends on how close to the amenities you want to be. More amenities (golf courses) will be more population dense. One of my favorite areas in Texas is Horseshoe Bay and Marble Falls area of hill country (here). It's close enough to the Lake Travis (nice/conservative) side of Austin, where you...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well the bed certainly moves, as you can tell where it has changed positions in regards to those stainless tool containers he is accessing. Whether it tilts too is the question, to which one could observe that the end of the bed is beveled, as to lay flat against a road when tilted down.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Do the beds on those trucks extend out and tilt down like the regular tow truck flat beds? In the video, it looks like that bed has moved from one shot to the other.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yar, we have plenty of the flat beds like that and the type I would call if I needed it, but never seen a large crane and flatbed combo around here. I would guess that if a car was in a bayou in the US, it would be considered a total loss anyway (even a supercar, maybe) and yanked out of the...

    Shōgun

    I always need to look them up to make sure. Between NBCUniversal, Comcast, Spectrum, Disney, Fox, Sky News UK, Sky News AU, ESPN, and Fox Sports I can never keep who owns what straight. Since it doesn't really effect me, I have no incentive to try to remember any of it either.

    Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoc, not Disney, and I don't care to keep track of what was sold off over the years.

    Didn't think about who owned FX but just looked it up, yep Disney. Luckily it isn't a Hulu exclusive, but I was hoping there was some place FX shows might be commercial free. Unfortunately, since it is all Disney owned, it won't be anywhere else. Frankly, I am a little surprised it isn't a...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I'm pretty sure going from a 970 or a 1080 to a 4070 would make Diablo 4 at least 70% better!

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    So you never planed on watching Shrek? Do you often look up the actors in movies that you haven't seen and never plan on seeing and when did you start this process of randomly looking up movies to see who the actors are?

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Weird choosing Shrek, being that it is the opposite of the point you are trying to make, since a huge part of the original buzz and marketing for it was on who was doing the voice work.

    Genetic Testing & Family Tree Search Engines

    My grandparent told me where they grew up in the midwest, the European nation your family came from mattered and it mostly revolved around the Protestant churches. The English/Scotts had one church/cliché, the Poles had a separate one, and the Germans another. Even the Catholics had multiple...

    It's a very low bar for them to pass when your listing a bunch of pop trash that is little better than the pop "country" music that is popular today.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Rick Beato recently did a talk with a record industry friend of his about that very topic, in relation to rock music. I'm pretty sure this is this one: Also, I'm shocked that Ossie and Chris were listening to better music than Chuk, in the 2000s, shocked I tell you!

    Without better explaining how fast her brain is "aging" in this bizarro steampunk fantasy land, it felt like this was a course on how to have a pedo movie without having a pedo movie. When she learned to masturbate, it still seemed like Stone was trying to play a toddler or maybe a preschooler...
