    Cyberpunk 2077

    A REAL BOY XPAC?!?! What year is it??? 1999?? I fucking hate most modern DLCS.

    That isn't the top 50 from 1975 though. *Old man yells at clouds meme!*

    Ahsoka

    Hopefully, if they have old man Rex in a show, they lean into it much better than they did with him meandering though Boba Fett. Rex should be a tactics guy, a General or Admiral if you will, not some action star, that they try to make him perform as if he is 30 years old. Well, at least in...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Same. I am waiting to see what the final consensus is for this season and whether you can just jump in, or if it would be too confusing to have not watched the first two seasons.

    Woodworking

    First idea for the water ways, and maybe roads to eliminate hand painting, when I saw the piece before: Use the CNC to cut the river channel in the uncut board first. Fill those channels with the "water" tinted epoxy. Then cut the topographic map, milling the epoxy with the wood. Main...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I have been stretching what it can do, and I can handle playing at 30 FPS, if that's what it takes. I don't play enough GFX intensive games for it to matter that often. BG3 will be the next game where I will probably debate upgrading again. I just bought two new monitors, in the past 6 months...

    England

    Pubs, in the midwest US at least, are a bit different, in that a decent amount of them try to have good food too. Food draws in business from 5pm to 9pm, then bar business takes over after that. These are the hole-in-the-wall gems. Strangely enough though, the best Irish Stew I have ever had...

    England

    Food wise, I thought the UK was meat pies and stews for local fare? Beef Wellington? Steak and Ale pie? Cottage and Shepard's Pie? Cornish Pastry? In the US we have Irish Stew at a lot of Pub type restaurants, made with a stout beer and lamb with a side of soda bread. I figured there was some...

    Peacemaker

    Not just the best out of DC but this show is the best superhero live action product since 2019 Endgame/The Boys S1. Hard to believe they need three years to make it fit into the Gunnverse. At least Gunn didn't totally shitcan the whole show though, I guess.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Neat. Wonder if that's molten glass/rock/iron splatter from the asteroid impact. Then wind erosion comes and eats away the softer material underneath. If it's not some visual illusion that we are seeing, that is.

    Succession

    People certainly respond differently to various forms a childhood neglect and/or abuse. My guess is that they looked at the psych profile of total parental neglect/lack of affection when it comes to Connor, but, they were also rich, so it was a raised by the help situation (nobility of old...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    That new Ray Tracing looks phenomenal but there are some good character model mods for Cyberpunk out there, if you want to improve and/or change the main characters in the game further. My 970 keep chugging along and I cant justify changing it for 1 game, but someday I will get to experience...

    My guess is that all those are purchased over the course of years or decades, so the old ones get put up on the wall, as the "shit still works, might as well use it" type thing. When he bought new ones, it could be hard to justify spending big bucks for big screens when he has a bunch of working...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    They have just ruined a few of the popular overplayed songs. Stones songs in Scorsese movies are still good (Bitch, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Mixed Emotions) and Zep has plenty of great deep tracks too (Sick Again, The Wanton Song, In My Time Of Dying, For Your Life).

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Did a quick search and (for the older cars) it looks like they will still work w/o a functional internet connection. At least according to some people that took them to places like Egypt or Macedonia. So if someone knew about the privacy issues, they could just disable the sims, then use a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I wonder how the car phones home. Does it have it's own sim card or does it make people connect to their home wireless network for these daily GBs of data uploads? Surly someone has found a way to disable the ability of the car to send and receive data.

    In the comics? I liked Cyborg in Doom Patrol, outside of a few nitpicks here and there. Haven't seen many episodes of Teen Titans, but he looked ok in that too?

    The Mandalorian

    I have a hard time taking Jack Black seriously, which works out fine for his comedy rolls, but less so when it's trying to be even halfway serious. Lizzo has all the acting ability of a cedar fence and I felt kinda bad that Christopher Lloyd had to try to act around that. Other than that, it...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Meh, went looking for a release date and realized this is just a upscaled 4k release of their 1984 concert movie. I though it was going to be some kinda docudrama like Weird: The Al Yankovic story. The uncut "HD" version is on YouTube in whole:

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The best time travel movies are the ones that gloss over the minutia of the actual time travel, instead of trying to make some "plausible" method of how it would work. Primer, while not a bad movie, is arguably the most detailed and "plausible" time travel movie, but you need a few rewatches...

    Tree wells are absolutely terrifying. That dude just won the life lottery there, as they were not skiing together, and the skier just happened to be on the same line that the buried boarder was on. Nationally, tree wells kill as many people as avalanches. Luckily, the US has a very good record...

    I thought someone posted, a while back now, that Dave gave an interview stating that he was getting tired of holding his bodybuilding physique for so long. Filming takes a long time, and it has to be hard on his health by staying cut, muscular, and on riods/HGH for 6+ months at a time. Dunno...

    I think the game is designed in a way that you need the XP from those quests if you want to get all the fun shit in Throne of Bhaal. It's better to fully play BG2/PST/FO2 and skip games like Icewind Dale, NWN1, POE, System Shock (...well, all the rest), than to try to get through them all by...

    He is in both. In BG1 you have to go looking for him. I wont spoil anything for BG2, but you should see him, even if you are speed running things (which is a silly way to play these games!).

    The Mandalorian

    In the last season of Clone Wars, they (Ahsoka, Rafa, and Trace) go to Kessel. They imply the run is a cleared path that snakes through a dense nebula type cloud and say something about only fools would go into the nebula to make it shorter, or some such.

    From the outside, it looks like the Challenger has a huge open grill area. Can you do a ram air upgrade for it? That should be one of the best intake mods? As for the twin-turbo linked above, just doing that is a terrible (but fun) idea! All the stock parts are designed for a certain HP range...

    Regarding some of the points: The way combat is, is the way almost all turn based games are (it's the style of other various games). Baulder's Gate is real time with pause, and it sacrifices some tactical aspects for a bit faster pace. Fallout is the simplest of turn based even, where action...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    I wasn't necessarily dead set on not trying to watch it again, but reading the reviews on IMDB didn't make me want to set out any time for it. I need reasons TOO watch it, not to avoid it. If I didn't like the first 10 to 20 minutes, why keep trying to watch the rest? I have plenty of other...

    ..and, as movies go, it's not great and not terrible. I never put any "action" qualifier in there. I also said, originally, that I fell asleep, a.k.a. I must have found it uninteresting, but not Expendables bad. Of those movies you listed, I have seen Dredd and Fury Road. Dread was ok, but I...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Your the one asking why I don't like it; I never said anyone is wrong to like it. Furthermore, it only has a 7.3 on IMDB, which isn't great or terrible, so it's hardly the whole world that loves that movie.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Wat, I watched the first 10 to 20 minutes before falling asleep. Do you normally remember every part of media you are disinterested in? The nice old car Wick was was driving is the last thing I remembered. Hence the "how long do I need to watch before I can say I don't like it?"
