True, but it's still a bit of a balance - the other end of the scale you have elite style multi-week flights. That works for some people, but definitely not for everyone.

The trailer is a bit meh - the only thing I thought looked cool was the black hole spell. Still, I've liked all their games except Outer Worlds, and even that wasn't *that* bad.

I'll also give a recommendation on 'Super Supportive' - after an interesting beginning it has kind of reversed the usual trajectory by just becoming better as it goes. I think I value this one mostly for an intriguing and very unpredictable plot. That's not to say there's anything wrong with...

I liked everything I saw in that video except the art guy's nose bar - I flinched just looking at that, surely the ends are in his field of vision ? How would that not drive you insane within a couple of hours ?! Oh and the xbox merch - lol. I have to admit, the adoring fan was pretty funny.

I suspect that had nothing do with any acting or content, and was more focused on most people not realizing it was only a third of a movie and then being presented with a giant 'haha, come back later suckers' after a bunch of cliffhangers.

Not enough boob, ep1 strongly suggests the show is 50 shades of mediocrity.

He's on strike until people like season 8.

Yes, but in a more literal fashion that I think you mean - the plural of phenomenon is phenomena.

The first ep was pretty boring, I don't think I'll watch the rest.

It wasn't, and that's not what that article says either, despite the desperately clickbait title.

I like the way it thinks though - making Logan CEO was definitely the way to go ;p

Yeah, it still has most of what made season 1 good, but the bus is kind of like a soft reset making everything they did in s1 pointless. It's a great point on the info too - they get enough people that you'd think they would at least write up a FAQ even if they couldn't be bothered to explain...

While this would probably have been bland mediocrity that I didn't watch, I'm still a little sad to see a new exec showing how powerful and in charge they are by cancelling everything the previous one did.

'All the Dust that Falls' has been surprisingly consistent fun given the nonsensical premise. ( Bunch of wizards attempting to summon an arch-demon accidentally fuck it up and summon a roomba instead - when it rolls through their most powerful anti-demon wards like they aren't even there, and...

I gotta say young Jules obviously has terminal ADHD - a fried egg on cast iron is one of the fastest possible things to cook and she still gets bored after less than 4 seconds. I wonder why they didn't use something like boiling pasta - people get bored and fuck that up all the damn time.

I am pretty sure by the last episode of this, that the writers were just trolling. They find an tidal locked planet, and make it spin by planting huge magnets on the surface ( fucking magnets, how do they work ? ) These magnets are so strong they pull spaceships, not even out of orbit, but out...

I think he means more that it isn't very good.

This is surprisingly entertaining, and fits a perfect niche for me, of something you can play while watching TV without requiring much attention. Technically it's FTP, but I'm going to assert it actually costs $5 because you would need to be a true masochist to play without autoloot.

They went into a bit in in the first episode - the official line is that they lost almost all of their records, tech manuals and the like in a worker uprising. Coupled with rising class warfare making working in 'Mechanical' less desirable, the engineers are all woefully under-qualified and...

I mean, an awful lot of mainstream media reporting is summarizing primary sources, which they usually reference. You can just go to that source and read it. The reason it doesn't work in practice is the reason you were checking the news in the first place - people want quick, easy to digest...

This one is some chat-gpt comedy gold - OpenAI peeks into the “black box” of neural networks with new research The OpenAI devs are troubled by having no idea what the fuck chat-gpt is doing or how it works. The solution ? Get Chat-GPT4 to analyze Chat-GPT2 and then explain what it is doing ;p...

Sure, it'll probably end up shit eventually, but for now, Microsoft isn't an advertising company like Google is - they currently have no incentive to shit up the search results to make more money. This is impossible for Google - as you pointed out, anything they do to make search less biased...

It's a bland campy sitcom that gives zero fucks about continuity or anything making sense, while still taking itself too seriously to be even remotely funny.

What, you mean you didn't watch TNG for the gritty, nihilistic, broken-person character drama and moral relativism ? Next you'll be complaining that an emo grimdark superman is 'against the spirit of the character' or something.

It's got high production values, good effects, decent acting - plot wise though it seems like it's just various scenes from spy movies pasted together. I'd say it's bad, but True Lies is also on, and it's hard to call anything in the same genre bad with that to compare to.

This was pretty fun without getting completely crazy. I thought that the idea of the government having Facebook's data being sinister was hilarious though, like Facebook wouldn't sell it to them without the slightest bit of hesitation.

I think they missed a decimal point on the seduce chances, I am pretty sure it is 0.6% chance, not 60% - at least when you use it, if the AI uses it, it has a base chance of 160% ;p I am so bad at this game 8(. Also, fuck that thunderbird whirlwind ability, that is the most aggravating RNG...

This was good stuff, marred only slightly by knowing the story - would have more impact with no spoilers, given how well it was done.

Finished this up recently, not bad, I have to say that Harrison Ford is a much better actor than I would have thought.

The Magicians tv show has very little to do with the books, and it is probably one of the better examples where the changes they made were, for the most part, better than the source material. The books were more realistic, but that also meant the characters were completely insufferable little...

A virtual host machine for 100 laptops is more expensive than 100 laptops, especially if you have a lot of employees working remotely and paying for their own electricity. It gets exponentially worse as you scale up too.

Even when chatgpt is writing flawless code, it's not solving the problem that people think it is solving. It is providing answers to questions that developers are asking, not that people who are not developers are asking. It's 'good' at answering 'Write me a python module to connect to an...

The Sanderson books were more consistent, but the peak quality of the Jordan books was higher - the Sanderson ones just didn't have scenes of the quality of the ones like Dumai Wells, the Aiel history flashback or the various interactions with the Aelfin. It's a pity the lows of the Jordan books...

I thought this was his best work in ages. Read it all in one go, which was a little unfortunate given I started at 1am on a wednesday.

I wouldn't say it is as weird as stuff like Legion, but the plot is definitely a gigantic pile of 'what the fuck ?!', strangely watchable for reasons that aren't clear 8)

Thoughts on a few shows so far : Iseleve - fat sweaty nerd wish fulfillment fantasy, but the surprisingly wholesome kind where the fat sweaty nerd is actually a nice guy. Enjoyed this so far. Tengoku Daimakyo - I have no idea what's going on, but I dig it. Hell's Paradise - only watched the...

No Rueban ? Baaah, what garbage is this ?! ;p

Yes. It's the kind of crazy mashup that you'd see in an anime crossover episode. Varic, Sola, Raion and the Engineer are all from completely different genres ;p It was good fun overall, but I prefer Cradle.
