    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    That actually makes sense, along with some of the other industry norms people were discussing. Here is my issue with the whole thing; why are these studios so fucking short sighted that they won't treat writers like any other profession? Hire the good ones for SALARIED work, go find up and...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Guild's are a thing of the past and writers should be hired and compensated individually. Fuck this union shit. HOWEVER, if private studios let a private union dictate terms at time where writing is objectively worse than it has been since television was colorized then I say let them all...

    Brits try Buc-ee's and Wataburger. They (correctly) decide that the Patty Melt is the best Wataburger burger. Oh, they went to the Houston Rodeo as well.

    Michael Jacobs has been practice drafting for the PT for the last week and has been successful with the same types of decks you have been posting. Seems like a fun set.

    The Americans

    Do not listen to @Jackie Treehorn's awful take. Watch this show and be happy that you did. It has a beginning, middle, and end with some lulls in the 3rd and 4th seasons. It did not overstay its welcome and for that fact ALONE it is probably a top 10 series of the last decade.

    Love & Death

    No doubt, I watched the Hulu one with my wife and it was great. I bet we will watch a few episodes of this to see if it compares but I doubt it.

    For real though, Buc-ee's is great because they are clean and efficient. Their branded products are also delicious and at a competitive price. Thier closest competition is Loves and it isn't very close.

    My guy, I support reps in AR as well and my first visit to Fayetteville was eye-opening. They have seen a huge spike in prices but it is still relatively low cost compared to other hot locales.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I never understood how people could be playing an open world game and go to a place where suddenly the enemies take 4-10x more regular attacks to kill and deal 3-5x the amount of damage than the things you were just fighting and think "this is the right path, the developer made this too hard!!!"...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    The point i've been trying to make is that it doesn't matter if everyone agrees with you, @Fucker , and @Chukzombi , the head of LucasFilm thinks that they are beneficial and she will pay them accordingly. Kennedy is trying to make them the draw and will do the exact opposite of distance herself...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I don't think shit, I see the box office numbers and know that you're idea of no one is over a fucking billion dollars in revenue. So you say they are flops, I say the Disney Star Wars flops gross more than the surprise blockbuster of the quarter that is Super Mario Brothers. I am with you...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Guys, those unpopular movies all grossed over 1 billion dollars and Ridley/Boyega have Disney by the balls because they are the "stars" of a franchise that generates huge revenue numbers. Notice I did not say profit or even that they were worth the money, but if you don't think Disney is...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I don't think it takes much convincing for actors with no real prospects to join a franchise that will pay them 20 million up front and millions a year in residuals no matter how shitty the product is.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    They really hit a rough patch in the middle of the HH books where they were decent but really were just filler for most of the chapters. It really go back on track starting with Slaves to Darkness and then the Siege of Terra was, in my opinion, pretty damn good.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    I just finished Lion: Son of the Forest. I thought, for the most part, it was really well done. It actually puts another dimension to the Fallen and sets them up well for more books. Also, the Lion meeting up with Guilliman is going to be fucking epic. It has to be in a book.

    Fuck yes. I saw them live when they toured with Mastodon more than a decade ago and it was a great show. I'm impressed that Cartoon Network gave Smalls another chance after he fucked them so hard; must be new management and desperate for that 2010's level of hype. I have to assume that this...

    Ok, real talk. I know I shit on the issues in POE but I have to give them a ton of credit for just how more streamlined they've made the game over the last few years. Do you remember daily master missions? Reputation gated crafting? Maps bloated with content you didn't want to play? No way...

    You are being a retarded faggot because you like the game and are angry that other people are critical of it. Fuck you, we were excited about this game for years and were begging them to do other things. Here is my wish list post from TWENTY NINETEEN and then another one that I thought was...

    Nope (2022)

    I thought this was an ok movie, and a solid "horror" movie. The best part about Jordan Peele's movies is that they are not fucking remakes. I love the fact that I don't know what is going to happen in them.

    How is level scaling innovation? Tons of games have done it and almost no gamers like it. Oh, and how can you call it innovation when other games have more intricate versions where the scaling is capped in different places? Now innovation is doing a worse version of something that already...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Get the fuck out of here. It has better graphics.... and that is it. The gameplay and systems are basic and copied from other games that cost less than a tenth of what was spent on this average experience. Now, you can still get $70 out of a new game that is a 5 or 6 out of 10; but don't lie...

    I'd bet you good goddamn money that the queues are intentional. They are probably testing the rapid server deployment architecture or some shit as well as trying to give others a little dose of FOMO. How good is the Beta? Wait in queue an hour good at least!
