    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Every interview I have seen with Jack Gleeson has been good. He got a lot of shit from simpletons that think TV shows are real life, so it's nice to see him doing things. He was debating quitting acting/Hollywood after GoT (or actually did for a while) and he is probably one of the few people...

    When it is written, edited, and directed by committee, does it really matter whos name is on the door?

    The Astronomy Thread

    Interesting. I thought that since the Moon is tidal locked, the center of gravity stayed in the same place, and wouldn't produce stress on the moon, but nope, there is still enough flux during orbit to do it, I guess. Data from the India lander is still being analyzed, but here is a brief...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Meh, too much work. If you have haste on your whole party you shouldn't be having many issues to begin with. On the other had, fog cloud and darkness make it so you can pickpocket anyone, anywhere, at anytime, as long as they are in the cloud. So I still use it somewhat often.

    That dude is a Youtube millionaire and there are even Youtube people making, seemingly, large amounts of money covering him. Never heard of him until a couple years ago, when he had some clip linked here that was pretty insane (in a bad way) and a few posts about him. People on Youtube have...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Have you looked into recycled asphalt? It seems to be getting popular around here. Depending on where you get it, and what quality you want, it's supposed to be a longer lasting surface than rock, that can get close to or maybe even beat it in price, if the local transportation department is...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    In case anyone wants to know, this will run on a GTX970! There is no way in-game to make it run in anything other than 1440 as full screen (on my 1440 monitor), so I was getting a good 6 FPS average on low and medium...changing it didn't change the FPS! The AMD FSS2 is just trash and looks...

    Ahsoka

    Easy, they need to take the obviously force sensitive kid to the other galaxy so he can become a Jedi like dear old dad. As for why Ahsoka fell into the World Between Worlds, I would hope that it will be explained next episode, otherwise maybe she is just immortal now, since Esra pulled her...

    There are various possibilities. Before writing developed, history was all oral, which means the story gets changed little by little, over time and as tribes migrate/commingle the information slowly disseminates. The last glacial maximum was around 20,000 years ago and humans were certainly...

    Got to see this plane, every so often, landing or taking off from IAH when driving around north Houston. Was pretty neat and defiantly noticeable when the lumbering beast passes over you or even seeing it from a distance, lined up in the landing pattern. For those not familiar, it is/was the...

    Wheel of Time

    I wasn't going to watch season two, but this thread kept getting bumped, and I already watched season one, so... As a non-book reader, I have found it better than season one (and Ring of Powah) at least, but that's not saying much. Probably a 5/10 on the IMDB scale, so far. One good thing is...

    Ahsoka

    Outside of just Star Wars things, it could be due to her thinking she is fighting a Jedi, and Jedi seem to be able to fight off force powers directly used on them, unless otherwise distracted. So she didn't even try. At the end, Sabine had the drop on her with a wrist rocket and she had no saber...

    For the Gnoll "bridge", I'm not 100% sure which you mean: For the hyenas that transform into gnolls, you can sneak up and murder them before they transform. Then you move up the hill and take out the other pack of 5. Both were little trouble, at level 4, but I think I may have had to go back to...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Well, that at least takes it out of the vaporware category and puts it into the "maybe it wont be some shitty abomination" category. Never played anything from the new studio, but it looks like it's all adventure games and they are using a lead that worked on Fable, so still no confidence that...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Ah yea, a bit of an issue that. You could try a Fiber Optic HDMI (random Amazon search, no idea of quality). Shit's exspensive, so probably want to get it from a place with good returns and try it out first, before dropping it in a wall. Fiber optics can be a bit fragile and does not take...

    You spent a lot of time on Bubbles there, chief, and that's what he wants. Do you think he will read any of that and/or care? Also, dude... a block of text with almost no capitalization is AIDS and makes it look like it was typed by a 15 year old. GIS of: "you got what Bubbles craves"

    Home buying thread

    San Antonio is just another big city, so remote workers would just live in the Austin burbs if they wanted a "big city experience" and, as stated, Corpus is the "best" coastal area close to Austin. It is a medium size town, so they probably have areas with fiber internet too. That said, I...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Depending on how far it is and how much you want to crawl up in the attic, you could run a HDMI and USB 3.0 cable from your bedroom to behind the TV. Plug a USB hub into the TV side and then a (wireless) mouse & keyboard into that hub. I have never used a powered USB hub, but maybe it would help...

    Some companies are allowing work from home, but have the stipulation of X hours drive from the office. So where else are people who like living on the coast going to go, that is "close" to Austin and has the amenities they want? I have heard it said that Corpus is a nicer coast than farther up...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    A lot of assumptions there chief. Hollywood, the whole lot of it, is what is retarding the development of anything creative in TV/Movies. While the studios forming something akin to a cartel are mostly to blame, the writers and actors are just negotiating to ultimately keep that system in place...

    They might add more to some of the follower quest/stories, but it's doubtful that they will add the upper city? It sounded like the upper city was firmly in the cutting room floor pile. Especially when you are already hitting max level about half way through Act 3 and increasing the level cap...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    If I have to sacrifice (enjoying) every show I like, which is maybe 2 or 3 a year, or every other year at this point, just to see actors, writers, and studios suffer and hopefully lose influence/clout, then I am cool with that. If a show like Chernobyl or Andor never gets made, due to the...

    Fucking clickbait trash. That's fucking dumb, not the final cutscene, and just a bug. That's the cutscene for the end of act 2, that they failed and rolls credits. You can end the game at many places before you reach the real end of the game. Furthermore, from the screenshot on the video, that...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I always thought it was the lighter weight that made the C4 faster, but after reading around a bit more on it, the 88/89 vette got much more HP out of almost the exact same powertrain due to various upgrades they gave the Vette. The F-Bodys (Firebird/Camaro) had cast iron heads whereas the Vette...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    To be fair, pretty much every car, that was not made in the 80s, has better power to weight ratio than a C4. The fucking environmental laws of the 80s destroyed horsepower production for a good 10 or so years there. I loved my F-Body Trans Am GTA to death, but that car was slooooow...for a...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    If I had watched Dredd when it came out, when I was younger and more inclined to action movies, I may have had different opinions on it, but having watched it, for the first time, in the last two years, I would rate my enjoyment as about the same for this movie as that one.

    The Expanse

    While that could have been great, I thought part of the point of Miller was that he wasn't doing anything righteous. He was just getting by with minimal effort, who then saw a person who could have had a life of relaxed luxury, that he dreamed of, but instead she tried to fight for Belter...

    Twi'lek genes are so weak that all of them are recessive. Star Wars has always been an IP that you cant think too much about.

    Millar was the best character and made season 1 good. Then Amos starts to pick up at the end of season 1 and season 2 to make the show peak with both Millar and Amos killing it. Season 3 mostly lacked Millar, so it looses a few points, but Avasarala, Drummar, and Bobby pick up for him, mostly...

    Yea, that dude sucks more (doom)cock than Midnight's Edge. The times I have tried to watch his videos I am unable to make it past the 2 min mark. While the Drinker repeats a lot of the same points, at least he is often entertaining when doing so, and his videos don't usually ramble on too long.
