    The Fast Food Thread

    For those that like Little Caesar's pizza (and I love it); the new Crazy Crust is amazing. It is simply their garlic-butter and parmesan cheese from the Crazy Bread on the crust of their pizza, but that is fucking money and I cannot believe no one thought of it earlier.

    Wheel of Time

    It is hilarious how that article makes it sound bad that the show is over. This was an abortion of the story and should only be brought out to show other services the exact way to fuck up a guaranteed money maker.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    This is where we find out that it has actually been cheaper to do practical effects (that look good) for a while now and that Hollywood just got lazy because shitty CGI is easier to coordinate.

    Path of Exile 2

    I am actually shocked that they changed their stance on async trading/AH instead of doing the thing that was actually fun: Making crafting something that everyone could participate in and to stop worrying about the 1% of players that are going to craft the best shit and complain that they...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    I have never played Nosferatu in VtMB; however, I want to play it more and it is more memorable because it exists. If they are willing to go that far for the world, then it is a world that feels more real. VtMB is a better game because the Nosferatu path is in it.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Nothing says "we have a room full of fucking incompetent writers that cannot walk and chew gum at the same time," as leaving out the two clans whose stories and gameplay would have to be way more than a few more dialogue options and voice lines. "We have to create ALTERNATE pathways for one...

    Alien: Earth

    They have called him a Cyborg a few times on the show; so he is different from a Synth, but we don't know exactly how. If it is the traditional definition then he is more human with robotics (like the funky tool arm). This is why he had to wear the oxygen and get in the safe room for the crash...

    Alien: Earth

    This is where we differ, and an argument I'm probably going to have in the new Resident Evil (2026) thread. Why do we expect these movies to recreate the things we like beat for beat when they have proven they cannot do it? RE was a 40 hour puzzle game, it is not going to fit into a 1 1/2...

    Real Estate Investment Thread

    A month out from a full year since the 9 house bulk purchase and a ton has changed. I got divorced, but it was amicable and I kept 14 out of the 18 rentals. I decided to run the the numbers because I can be far more aggressive with them now that they are mine with no other input needed on any...

    Resident Evil (2026)

    It is, but you have to admit that you KNOW they can do RE better as a movie. Make it a little less slapstick and a little more like The Crazies with Olyphant (still holds up fantastically, BTW) and you have a winner.

    Alien: Earth

    I don't understand how some of you can just be endlessly pessimistic about these things. Is this even 75% of what I expect from the Aliens franchise? No Is it the best 2 hours to come out of the Alien franchise since Alien 3, THIRTY THREE GODDAMN YEARS AGO? Yes If you cannot have fun with...

    Alien: Earth

    The black kid joking around with everyone is so good. Also, Olyphant is the best acted part (of course) but also has the best lines. "Animals can get scared, you are not animals anymore, keep walking."

    Alien: Earth

    That scene was the worst in the entire two episodes, and really made me think it was going to be terrible. But then, the rest of that scene with the Alien in action was really good. One thing I don't understand is them constantly framing the Alien as scary to the audience. Dramatic music and...

    Alien: Earth

    Well we know he can see through their eyes, which they are either too young or ignorant to know right now. Also, his line to Wendy about following orders was a little ominous as well.

    Alien: Earth

    Second episode is good, too. Somehow the show has made some characters that act well enough to care about. There is still some dumb shit, and the laziest part is the Alien is strong or weak enough to move the plot forward. But I want to watch the next episode for everything *except* the...

    Alien: Earth

    He has all the lines of a synth that is going to decide humans are lesser and not worth saving over aliens. He and the black synth are the two best characters by far. I appreciate the fact that the kills are also diverse. Every color and sex is getting butchered.

    Alien: Earth

    The first episode is decent. I like the mystery of the other specimens more than the xenomorph. All of the synths act well, the new hybrids being kids is also done well. The first scene on the alien starts dumb as fuck with the slow head profile that seemsto defy physics moving backwards, but I...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I find that they REALLY try to obfuscate your "returns" inside of a 401k because they don't want you to see how much of your growth was just you and your company match vs. the actual % change in the account. I do have a good barometer, though. I changed jobs in 2017 and decided to roll my 2...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well he is an absolute fucking idiot, but in the best way for you. Now he has income and you have none; so you could *technically* threaten alimony if he tries to go after shit. Unless you think he would literally refuse employment to make you pay for a table and loveseat. Tell him that...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    See, this is the crux of my post above about his advice. To the vast majority of people, those are absolutely traps since you have to have a plan that they slot into before they perform the job that they were intended to do well. Insurance agents pushing Whole Life plans on people in 50k of...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Alien: Earth

    No one even remembers that Ripley sat out the first mission because she wasn't a trained soldier. They didn't listen to her, Paul Riser tried to kill her, and then she had to become the one that everyone relied on because she was smart about tactics. It was only the last 20 minutes of the...

    Your dude is fucking panicking because he is finally realizing that his comfortable life of doing fuck-all while you work is about to be over. Now he is starting to understand that he will be jobless and have very little runway before he is going to have to find a job and start to be a real...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I am probably doing this prematurely since I am 44 at the moment, but my ex and I had a fee-based financial planner audit and so I got a roadmap to what retirement could be. My youngest is 6 so I have been thinking about 12 years from now when he hits college what it would look like, and I...
