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

    @BoozeCube called it on the nose. It is fun, but mid. I'll grab it on sale and i HOPE THAT IT GETS BETTER. They have the blueprint; add more new shit each season and then after a few years the game is bigger and more stuffed with content. Everyone in this thread wants it to be good and it...

    Let's build some pools!

    I was absolutely adamant that we get the UV light cleaner which only 1 of 8 companies included in their first bid even thought it was only $1500 extra. Every time I asked a company how much it was to include it they all RAVED about how great they were at reducing the cleaning and amount of...

    Let's build some pools!

    This is going to sound really girly, but why go so light on the tile, coping, and plaster just to put that dark blue waterline tile in? I know for a fact they have lighter blue and translucent options; it just seems very jarring. This is coming from a guy that has had to help make just these...

    Let's build some pools!

    We just signed on a pool/backyard project. We are going 3" to 5" max at the end as a every pool builder we talked to said that 90% of time people do not hang out in the water when it is at or above the shoulders. My wife did all of the design herself.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Space Wolf looks like he is wearing Ultramarine armor. 0/10 definitely not fucking green enough. Edit: Awesome that they have all 4 chaos factions represented in game. Edit Edit: Was that Erebus? Also, June 1st Beta? I might not play just to savor it on release.

    Assuming the debt limit ceiling is raised (it will be) is a rush to buy new debt a bad thing?

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The issue is that great video games made you want to do the side quests because that is often where the best lore was found; so you go into these games wanting to do the side quests and then, after they disappoint, you keep doing them expecting the next one to be the one that blows you away...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    This could have all been avoided if Disney, HBO, and some other big media companies had just agreed to leave their shit on Netflix and just partnered for original series. That way they don't compete for customers and just collect the revenue instead of jumping into an unknown market and...

    Yeah, HEB eggs were less than $2/dozen for large and right over $2 for Jumbo. Maybe chicken prices will see a decline as well.

    So we are a little over 2 weeks from this post and BTC is still around 27k. Do you personally think that it is going to hit 1 million in the next 45 days?

    They had me until "pre-order to get Shang Tsung" appeared on screen. The monetization of characters in fighting games is disgusting and I will not participate.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    I'm going to buy something from them just because their site is amazing. From their phone skins section: "In the future, when keying cars is impossible because nobody's allowed to drive anymore, roving gangs of vandals will break into your home and scratch your electronics. Prepare yourself for...

    How about the SF Fed doesn't get to define what amount of savings is excessive. I choose how to spend and save my money and fuck any banker or banking analyst who says they know better.

    I really thought I was going to dislike Scars, Path of Heaven, and really anything White Scars related; but damn they are really interesting legion and Jagati Khan was excellent. They went from totally boring and uninteresting to can't miss because of their novels. Oh, and I think Vengeful...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    AI is going to do you writers what MS Office did to almost all other employees. Namely, the smart ones will use it to enhance their productivity and efficiency while the laggards will either be replaced by it or just be so good that they don't need it. Imagine good writers using ChatGPT to...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.
