    Raised by Wolves

    Why do I feel certain there was some eye rolling from Scott going on there ;p

    Away

    This was pretty eh, but at least it wasn't 'Another World'. Was sort of serious science, not as much as 'For All Mankind', but better than average in that respect. The interpersonal drama was silly and fabricated though - are we to believe they just grabbed a bunch of people at random and...

    Utopia

    My take after 4 episodes is this one isn't bad, other than a lack of subtlety, but just unnecessary really. I will say though, the amazon R.B. is a pale plastic imitation of the UK one. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the UK actor is actually a lizard person.

    Dreamhaven Games

    It's not a capitalist thing, just the bigger an organization is, the more people you have who don't give a shit about the stated goals of that organization. It's not like a state owned game studio where everyone is paid the same amount is going to do any better on that front. This isn't even...

    Utopia

    Jessica Hyde from the UK show is what is commonly referred to as a 'right cunt'.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Shackle is worthless in all situations. Death's Due is best at aoe, single target and tanking, even after being nerfed in 3 different ways. Swarming Mist's uptime is too low to make any impact outside of giant pad pulls, which won't happen due to target caps. Abomination Limb is best at pulling...

    The Boys

    True, but like secret kungfu moves or dope archery skills, it's still less effective than a basic handgun.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    No it isn't. Almost everything is unfinished in beta, let alone polished. At BFA launch you could at least level up without getting trapped by broken quests on mandatory questlines, and once you got there islands and warfronts at least worked properly, even if they were dogshit. Unless they...

    The Boys

    She is basically Claire from Heroes and has the same problems - no offensive ability, no range, no mobility, and regeneration doesn't stop you getting hurt, it just stops you from staying that way. This doesn't help you if, for example, you get folded up into a small bag and then buried in...

    The Boys

    I though that would be the obvious conclusion - Stormfront wants stable compound-v so she can make an army of nazi supersoldiers, Edgar wants stable compound-v so he can make a shitload of money. That's plenty of reason for them both to work on it without shared values or motivations.

    Stormtroopers were cheaper ? ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My favorite is the end of the night fae play. Jump on dragon to fly 30 ft that way. Can't just walk it, not an optional step, must jump on dragon. Obviously you can't jump on the dragon. They have fixed and re-broken this quest at least 4 times so far, which says great things about QA, source...

    She-Hulk

    Yeah, an actor able to play multiple different characters so well that you can tell them apart when they are pretending to be each other is not something you see every day.

    Raised by Wolves

    I think the implication is that the church of Mithras nuked all it's enemies back into the stone age.

    The Third Day

    Not sure if randomly weird, or weirdly random. I kind of lost interest partway through the first episode.

    Archer

    They were.. ok. Got a couple of laughs out of the first two eps.

    Lovecraft Country

    I was optimistic after the end of the first episode, but after that it's just been a downhill slide. Entirely apart from the surprise buttsex, the most recent episode was just boring. Who cares about Ruby's department store job ? Also, what's up with the girlfriend ? She decides she is fine...

    The Boys

    I think you are reaching there - Stormfront is racist privately but not publicly. There's no indication that her fans are racists, she's whipping them up about Homelander and Vought. She's also not getting elected to anything - even if she was, would that make Homelander Obama or Biden ...

    The Boys

    That and the fights were just downright fucking brutal. No 'winner is casually unhurt with the losers neatly and conveniently unconscious' here.

    Raised by Wolves

    I am liking this show a lot so far. I couldn't say why specifically - none of the particular parts are amazing but it all seems to work together really well.

    The Boys

    Wait, what ? You are going to have to explain your reasoning on that one.

    What did you just read?

    Bumped that one up on the queue and read the first few chapters today. Good recommendation. "You aren't wearing pants either you know." "Neither am I wearing a cape that makes me look like I got a participation prize in the local special needs comic con, Carl." LOL.

    What did you just read?

    Yeah, Pirateaba is more than that now I think too ( numbers no longer public, but patrons are up significantly ). Even $1 a person adds up to quite a lot if you have thousands of readers, and $1/month is dirt cheap for the amount of entertainment you get. Still, it's like most stuff I think...

    What did you just read?

    I have that on my list, but haven't started yet. Good to see a recommendation. Royalroad is good value yeah. Saved me a lot of money on books so far, even with me donating to a few patreons. Let's see - what have I looked at recently. Books ---------- Dispel Illusion ( Impossible Times 3 ) -...

    Raised by Wolves

    Yes. The first episode started a bit slow, but went nowhere where I expected, leaving me wanting to continue watching. The second two twist what you think is happening around some in interesting ways. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

    Raised by Wolves

    Well, that was certainly not what I was expecting from the first episode. That is an admirably hardcore approach to problem solving ;p There may be some subtle hints that Mother is not 100% open and honest there :oops:

    Tenet (2020)

    It's just skin to skin contact apparently, remember the chick tries to get him to wear the suit to avoid it. Overall I though this was pretty good. It was more technically impressive than enjoyable for me though, so not up to the level of Inception or the Prestige. It's certainly not like...

    The Umbrella Academy

    I actually like the dad. I am not sure why, he's obviously a huge asshole and a terrible father, but something about his no-nonsense take-no-bullshit approach entertains me.

    I am glad to see He Who Fights is back, the new setting has some entertaining possibilities and I like what I see so far.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Pretty much everything is known about the first tier of the expansion. There's a lot of stuff missing, but the basic mechanics and outlines of things are all there. Given development pipelines, it's pretty much impossible to change course at this point - reworking major systems or creating a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Someone coming into the game now isn't going to be able to do 5 mask runs. There's some benefit in gearing up before expansion, but not much. At ilvl 400 ( 78 'new' ilvl ) - depending on class, some quest mobs and rares are dangerous, and it takes a while to chew through 'kill X' quests. At...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can't even complete the night fae introduction quest on beta at the moment. ( For the third time mind you, they've already fixed it and subsequently rebroken it twice ). Everything is covered in 'Insert cool cinematic here' and 'Awesome in game event happens now' banners, Torghast loot is...

    Altered Carbon

    Kovacs was wearing a black sleeve in Broken Angels, so you can't blame that one on wokeness, it's faithful to the book. Whether Mackey did a good job or not is another issue entirely. I didn't think S2 was all that bad, but you can't lead with S1 of tits and ultraviolence and then go pg13 for...

    Lucifer

    The original parable about the goose that lays golden eggs is about the drawbacks of short term thinking vs long term thinking. I don't know how cows wandered into it ( confusion about the biblical golden calf maybe ? ), but there's no implication that there's only one of them - if you have...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Be fair, this is clearly a fantastic much sought after feature which will absolutely not be instantly switched off in raids due to the fps hit.
