    Jupiter's Legacy

    Haven't read any of the comics. Thought this one was pretty good, but obviously suffers due to proximity to Invincible. Not just because Invincible is a lot better, but because it made it impossible for me to believe that any of the dysfunctional Jupiter mob had managed to avoid having a three...

    Spider has it's faults, but being predictable isn't one of them. I have to commend the voice actress - she makes a deranged psychopath cute and entertaining ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You know you can actually get real world cov performance from warcraftlogs as well, you don't need to compare to a sim. E.g. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/26#boss=2407&class=Druid&spec=Balance&covenant=2 vs...

    New stuff : Treasure King - a bit rough around the edges writing wise, but was still entertaining in a 'Defiance of the Fall' type way. Technically ongoing, but future uncertain given the recent author notes. Undermind - Young woman recovering from crippling mountain climbing injuries has a...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yeah, pretty much this. Minutes watched doesn't make a lot of sense cross streaming platform in the same way it does with broadcast tv, in that non-subscribers certainly aren't going to watch it, no matter how good it is. You might be surprised on sub drivers though, kids are weird. I know at...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm not sure that will actually change anything. Maybe wanna-be elitists that have difficulty working out how to install addons ? Those people probably invited solely based on ilvl anyway, so that's probably an improvement regardless.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Heh, think of the poor PR guy that has to spin that one: > 'Ok, so any potential PR issues I should be aware of ?' 'I, uh, I fought for the nazis in WW2' > '.....' 'and um, spent the rest of the time since then assassinating people for Hydra' > '....' 'I got better !' > '/facepalm'

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Really depends how the super serum works - if it makes them 400% stronger, then sure, if it adds X strength, then no - he'd still be stronger but the gap would be tiny. It was obviously the latter for the original cap in that he was weak as shit to start with, and not noticeably weaker than...

    Shadow and Bone

    This is surprisingly good. Great casting for Brekker, which is ironic given he isn't supposed to be in it ;p. I'm guessing they are taking the long view toward future seasons.

    I liked the ending, even if it was a bit sappy. Hope they get another season. One thing that bugged me : One thing that didn't bug me :

    Mark is right there - he doesn't want to look like a shithead in front of him.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    In the episode for less than 5 seconds, still steals the show.

    "Four hundred billion dollars for the world's most expensive nosebleed" LOL. Even Rex was firing on all cylinders this one, his reaction to why he was chosen was hilarious.

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    This was bad 8(. The opening sequence was pretty good quality, massive bloodbath action sequence. Then the rest of the movie happened. It's about what you'd expect from a Mortal Kombat movie I guess, although the character introductions and catchphrases were so forced I wouldn't be surprised...

    Eh, that's art for you. Nothing wrong with not liking a particular style. Plenty of shows I've never watched because I don't like the art.

    Vivy : this just seems very good overall. My predictions - the bear is a lying sack of shit. Joran : this has really nice art, good animation and an interesting story. Will keep going with this one. To Your Eternity : remains intriguing. One of the benefits of such a strong first episode is...

    The author is pretty good, Six of Crows was a great book, so I look forward to this with interest.

    And yeah, the human drama stories are pretty bad. The lesbian one is bearable, but everything to do with Ed's wife is absolutely awful.

    For All Mankind

    There are obviously some huge space enthusiasts involved in the show. The painstaking recreation of the old space tech, but real and theoretical, is pretty amazing. I am betting there were some bitter arguments from technical consultants over that scene and 'drama' won ;p ( A bigger problem is...

    Invincible

    Personally, I kind of wonder about that, I suspect a lot of it is unfamiliarity of nuance in language. I wonder what native Japanese speakers think on that topic.

    It seems a fair guess that missions 1 through 9 got killed by various aliens ;p Seriously though I think it was more the first *human* mission to mars, not the first mission to mars.

    Surprisingly, Victoria was actually around for most of that. It's a fair point though, WW1/WW2 is closer but the tech base doesn't really have a real world equivalent, given the Edwina massacre was a aircraft carrier group and that was decades before the start of the story. I spose Victorian...

    Just caught up on Vigor Mortis. I really like this one. Um, hard to describe - fantasy world which is made up of a bunch of giant floating islands apparently being levitated by an eldritch abomination called the Mistwatcher, which is worshipped as a god by a lot of people. In extreme...

    Nobody (2021)

    Yeah, it was ok. Odenkirk is kind of a dick though, think John Wick if his wife lived and they had a happy marriage and then he started shit with the russians coz he was bored. The choreography is also pretty pedestrian in comparison.

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    The least plausible thing in this movie about giant monsters and the earth being hollow was probably the civil engineering that the evil megacorp got up to 8) In fact, probably the civil engineering that *everyone* got up to - how the fuck did they get that many girders to skull island ? Who...

    New stories: Dragon Hack - by the Threadbare guy, this is set in the same world (sort of?) but prior to the cataclysm and the sundering of Cylvania. Generica is (mostly) just a game at this point, and it's about the original bunch of real world players as much as the game world. It entirely...

    Invincible

    This was really good. A bit of an indictment of amazon prime though, in that I would not have even known it existed without this thread - the homepage and recommendations is just a bunch of shit that I have already seen and random nonsense like australian football documentaries.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes it is. Arguing otherwise is nonsensical - the alliance hall of fame didn't even fill until a few weeks ago. There are still only 1800 guilds worldwide across both factions that have even killed mythic sludgefist.

    Urtuk: The Desolation (Band of Darkest Dungeon Brothers)

    This game is pretty fun. Played through as the humans, doing a run as the swamp people at the moment. The swamp marauders are completely absurd tanks despite having no armor, and their stacking %health bleeds explode big hp stuff surprisingly quickly. Hammers in general aren't much use on low...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    The opening sequence was glorious fast and furious style utter nonsense, with a ludicrously elaborate plan which made no sense on any level and STILL the least plausible thing in it was the idea that they would give the slightest fuck about invading Syrian airspace ;p Plausibility of Falcon...

    Dyson Sphere Program

    Anyone got a good layout for a critical photon farm? I just seem to end up with a random mess of crap that doesn't line up in any way and it really annoys me. It works, but what is a working layout without good symmetry right ? ;p

    It's a nice thought, but Captain Marvel made more money than all of the Expendables AND all of the John Wicks combined.

    Doh, that will make life considerably easier. You'd think that would be something you'd put in the description of the railgun, it's kind of important info ;p

    Wait, am I missing something ? How do you use railguns to build the sphere ? I thought they could only be used for the swarm.
