    Wheel of Time series

    @Mudcrush Durtfeet you keep garbage reacting to everyone saying this but the most recent example is GoT; those two followed GRRM's story to a T and it was the most successful fantasy show in television history....until they ran out of runway. They proved that no matter how faithful a television...

    What We Do in the Shadows

    The different ways each one hits on the gym girl were great. Nando's body language as each was fantastic. I wish that Collin's negging was second after Laszlo's (the best one) attempt.

    Path of Exile

    yea, but if you are searching for items on the site and one you need pops up...you go and get the item. If it isn't there it wasn't going to be there unless they find a way to keep people way more engaged.

    Path of Exile

    Man, if only there was some way we could put some sort of character that we don't play in our hideout that others could visit and buy our items for the set price we listed the item at. I may be the first person who has ever brought this up because if it had been an idea for 5+ years you think...

    Wheel of Time

    It is fucking hilarious that Jordan created a diverse world that had woman and minority empowerment fucking EVERYWHERE but since he based his story around a group that came out of 10+ generations of isolated breeding among paler skinned people that they have to throw it all in the trash.

    Wheel of Time

    Some of it looks good, but why do they need to change the Myrdraal to have some weird ass mouth full of lamprey teeth when white skin and no fucking eyes is creepy enough? Here is the real reason: They either don't like or don't trust that their portrayal source material to connect with...

    The Netflix Thread

    Counterpoint; I hate watching it in syndication because I seem to only catch the same 15 or 20 episodes over and over again. I love this show and starting it from the begging with no pressure to finish an episode in a whole sitting sounds great.

    Comic Books

    I just finished The Invisibles, a comic from the mid-late 90s that was supposedly what inspired some of the story of the Matrix. It was terrible; all of the characters are so smart/amoral that they are unlikable and the dialogue is so dense that it should have just been a shitty book instead.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Ok, I heard this and then started reading The Invisibles comics and just finished them (like just now). While there are some similarities there is no way the Invisibles creator could claim anything but a few visual and thematic elements as truly stolen. Even then, the only theme they really...

    Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

    These should be viewed as a children's movie box office numbers because most of the people going to see this are bringing their kids for the dinosaurs. I know they are not really made for small kids; but my 5 year olds love dinosaurs and I caught them watching the Lost World kill count video on...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I guess they could force Mara into BoBF and then have her relationship with Luke be offscreen; maybe he doesn't even know they have a kid and there is your sequel sequel trilogy? How many great scenes are we going to miss by them just not making that trilogy the movie? A whole planet that...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Even better....they roll with the Matrix inside a Matrix plotline. Neo and Trinity were just respooled up in both Matrix's and lost their memories. It is about the only way it would make sense and even be partially enjoyable. Matrix-ception.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I am the opposite; my three companies have been 60k, 80k, and now my current job is *only* 9k employees. Once a cog in the great machine, always a cog in the great machine.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    My company has an entire SNOW practice; I could get you in touch with someone about an implementation job if you ever wanted to test the waters. Edit: It is a Fortune 200 company so this is not like a 10 person shop.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I have been in tech sales for almost my entire career and the move to consulting was initially great because I was straight salary with bonus instead of salary+commission; but a few years in I was getting restless because even though I was getting good end of year reviews and promotions I felt...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    It actually makes my job harder trying to sell these people on the ITSM/CSM/CRM projects because they will intentionally decrease the project scope when I tell them that to truly implement the solution they will need to spend 3x on people that have done this before and will help them over the...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Way late, but FTFY. I have been on the process side of technical consulting in the past and it made me realize how worthless bleeding edge technology is if you have no way to audit its use or acceptance. Most mid-sized companies that really need to standardize the mess that they grew out of...

    Her timeline and the posts she retweets are all cancer. If Blizzard truly decided to hire even some of the people represented then they will never get a single dollar out of me ever again.

    Do you think if one of my customers called me at 4PM on a Friday that I'm just not going to answer because the office is closed?

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    The last 4 companies that offered me jobs were either start-ups on investor funding or private companies that were a few years out of the start up window. Every single one of them touted the fact that they closed down around 3PM every Friday to start the office funded happy hour.

    Path of Exile

    I have decided that I disagree with your assertion. They should not be catering to the playerbase because it is their game and we truly aren't the people that they want playing the game. The sad fact is that a ton of us loved Diablo 2 and never played POE until the shitshow that was D3...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is so wrong it is laughable. Blizzard is collapsing for the same reason that any small, agile company with an innovative product that gets swallowed by a gigantic multinational does; bureaucracy and the need to self-perpetuate. Briefly, the small company is purchased because it is doing...

    Wheel of Time

    Especially after the showrunner is quoted saying 'men try to steal women's power' in the real world and this world. Having slaves (some even willing later on) just seems to be impossible for their ideology.

    Wheel of Time

    I've got some bad news for you, bro. I cannot think of a single instance on television where they have displayed conceptually difficult magic in a way that was not just over the top cheesy. I can only think that it will be some slow motion "other world" type perspective from who ever they...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    @GuardianX You need to find a Christian therapist tied to a church even if you don't go to church. Regular therapists these days are about digging into the shitty parts of your life and making them worse, not better. At least with a Christian one you are usually going to get someone who is...

    I was thinking about how they are going to bring the One Power across on the big screen and I think it might be make or break for this show in terms of how good or bad the FX are going to be. Early Trollocs are going to show if they just take some dudes and glue hair on them or if they are will...

    Well the books were not action novels so even if they keep the core premise intact it is going to focus on things that the books never went into detail about.

    You did the exact job a manager is there to do; take the arrows from above and turn them into marching orders for the hands on people (and vice versa). The reason that a portion of your team wanted to waste time is because they were bad at their jobs and needed someone to do it for them.
