    The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024)

    She had them build a bunch of ships out in the desert?!? What a fucking idiot!

    The Boys

    I like how, in these first few episodes, that Victoria Newland is the threat that The Boys, the Feds, and the dude running for president are all going to great lengths to stop, yet no one mentions that they could just throw the election.

    The Boys

    His face certainly changed, dunno if due to a health problem or going to Starlight's shitty plastic surgeon (who should lose his/her license). Starlight is hard to watch, her face doesn't even move right, at least MM still looks 100% human. Kimiko actually looks better in this season, for some...

    The Boys

    Dogknot is the only actor I recognize as the pirate Charles Vane in Black Sail, so I expect that he will be getting some screen time, eventually. @Arbitrary, there is no Teenage Kix that I can recall. At least that actual name never comes up, but Popclaw may have mentioned she was in a "team"...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    There are cheats for every remotely successful game ever made. Does that mean all games should just put a god mode check box on the start page? Should people who then complete those games without cheating get extra achievements for doing so? No, because when a gaming company disables...

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

    Quite strange that my personal measurement of best spec was blowing up uber Duriel with shit gear then! Oh, you mean I don't need to run dull dungeons get runes to 21 and run the tedious pit to max out masterwork gear, ok then, I guess I will keep playing a little longer! Also, I meant that the...

    The Boys

    They did the same 12AM PST release with Invincible (I think it was). I could have swore the season started with releases at around 10 EST the day before, then did the switch to 12 PST sometime mid season, but I could just be remembering wrong. Between Netflix, Prime, and Hulu/FX it's hard to...

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

    Decrepify is a defensive and in all Golem minion builds I've seen, but yea, it's certainly less than other specs, like Druid Wind Shear that has 3 defensives and so does Barb Bash. The main thing with necro in this season is that the easiest spec is also the best spec, so that's why it feels...

    Car ?'s

    Yea, makes sense, squeal can be different than chirps, which can be different from whine. Belt squeal is what I am picturing, but not standard bad belt/tensioner symptoms. I did a few quick searches and it's all over the place. Suspension issues like wheel bearings exhibit constant symptoms and...

    Disclaimer: I'm not a professional mechanic, just some dude who has worked on his fair share of personal vehicles. Did you run though some RPM levels then let off, while it was parked, to see if it makes the sound? Maybe take it to 3000 RPM for 10 second, then let off back down to idle. Then...

    I've bought three cars from different states than the one I was residing in and while they were a while ago now, I don't remember doing anything different than what I did for a in state purchase. Go to the proper government building, pay a tax, send some paperwork and the old signed title in...

    The Acolyte

    Next week is the episode where we (well you) get to see what one reviewer said will finally kill star wars for any of the old fans of the original trilogy still left (or some such). I'm sure he didn't over sell it and it's going to be monumental! I can't wait... to read other people talk about it.

    You are using UBlock Origin, not just UBlock? I'm pretty sure that's what's doing the heavy lifting for me. I'm using Vivaldi browser (it's Chrome based), but I doubt it will change anything if Brave and Ublock Origin isn't working for you.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I didn't like Elden Ring as the story is shit to non-existent (or maybe you have to go find it in books like some retarded Bethesda game). The exploration is certainly the best part, and where I spent the majority of my time (finding the invisible wall). The strange landscapes and NPC designs...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    That first tweet makes me think of the common sensationalism that media use when talking about volcanos and earthquakes. When "any minute" in geological time is within the next 500 to 1000 years.

    Ironic telling him that he is not thinking about the proper timelines, when you seem to think the earth moves so fast. The geological timelines that you describe are going to take far longer than 10,000 years. For example, the Rockies have been there for millions of years. The ground Phoenix...

    I don't see anything stating or suggesting that the gene that mutated to digest the nylon byproduct could only exist because it was used to digest nylon in the past.

    Where are you getting all this bacteria already knew how to digest nylon and couldn't possibly pick up that ability in 40 years? I think you are misunderstanding what they are saying about the DNA. Also, 40 years seems like a long time for a bacteria. If a bacteria is growing, it can divide...

    Austin

    It's been a while, but I think 44 in OK is all toll with actual booths, but not that much cost? There won't be any tolls in Texas by going through OKC, as it's 35 the whole way (at least, once you are heading out of Austin). Edit: The route link wasn't working. I've taken that 82 cutover before...

    Austin

    Ah, I forgot exactly where you lived so was just doing from Tulsa to Austin. It gave a 20 min difference for that route, going through Oklahoma City. At 35 min extra it's still not a bad choice, if you want a ton of high speed no stop highway only driving. I didn't mind the 75 and 69 route all...

    Be aware, 35e and the downtown Dallas interchange fucking sucks (Dallas in general sucks). Going through Oklahoma City might be worth the extra bit of time just to take the "nicer" 35w and not have to hit the 35e -> 75 interchange. Google Streetview is pretty good for showing you the shit (here...

    Defiantly looks like it's already in the running for worst video game movie adaptation. Although I may not necessarily "get" Borderlands, since I found the first game to be lackluster and never played any of the others. Maybe the under 30 year old spaz crowd think it looks good (or teens in...

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

    Don't ya know that the Monk class and martial arts used in western products, like D&D/Pathfinder, is now cultural appropriation, so they are just trying to get out in front of that. Plus Spiritborn is kinda similar to two-spirit, which is what some American Indians called the gays or "trans" or...
