    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    These fucking lame ass people. They cannot create aliens that are cool so they just fucking shove in dinosaurs? Here's a cool idea: let's use one of the monsters that is giant and scary that already exists, like maybe the Rancor. Then, let's put a bunch of them on a planet running wild...

    Path of Exile

    Maybe I don't understand the mechanic but it sounds like socketing these new jewels actually adds skills to the tree and I assume we would have to assign points to them in order to benefit?

    Path of Exile

    These new clusters are going to have to be pretty fucking awesome to replace skill points at the end of a build. That is usually when you are going for QoL life/damage/mitigation, right?

    The Fast Food Thread

    I went to a local ramen joint and was thoroughly unimpressed. I love pho so I'm thinking that maybe there is some special ramen combo or seasoning that I missed to make it great; but as of right now old take pho over ramen 11/10 times.

    Joker (2019)

    I could only see a sequel working if it were some sort of anthology of fucked up people watching JP rise as a figurehead, seeking him out, and him explaining to them that they have to let go of the facade of normalcy and burn it all to the ground so that they will be seen.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Why would kids want them? The parents that grew up with the good movies have seen them shit out 6 terrible additions that murdered their childhood. They protested by buying their kids anything else on the shelves. I am one of those parents and my four kids do not own a single star wars toy...

    She seems to be what everyone company wants in a community manager. She really seems to like the game and the players.

    The French Dispatch (2020)

    I love Wes Anderson's films because I can watch any of them and be the exact same amount of delighted all the way through. They are just dry and witty enough without being overbearingly pretentious.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    It would be great if this was a gritty detective story.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Usual nonsense. He is 100% British though. He was in the first 2 seasons of Skins which seems to be Britian's fucking Mickey Mouse Club since most of them go on to long acting careers. Edit: That sounds neutral or negative but I like him as an actor and this looks right up my alley.

    Their cash flow covers it enough that they could raise the distribution and still have extra cash flow; but they are still taking in debt to find long term projects. It is maddening.

    I am in the same boat with ET, but get this shit. I bought 20k into Sunoco Logistics (SXL) about 5 years ago at around $23 a share because it was my wife's company and it was coming out of a nadir on top having an 8% dividend. Well, SXL is owned by Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) which owned...

    Why? Motherfucker would never show his food diaries to prove any of his claims so it shouldn't even be called a documentary.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't understand why people think that those food production videos are a ploy. The larger the corporation, (usually) the better and cleaner their production lines have to be. They cannot risk getting a line or factory shut down by inspectors because of the massive undertaking in both time...

    Dragonlance Series

    Bro, the Malloreon and the Belgaraid were the second set of fantasy series I ever read and were my favorite books for a long time. I believe when I found these forums in the early 00's one of the main reasons I became a lurker was because there was a whole tread shitting on David and Leigh...

    Uhhhhhh, meta after those nerfs looks SUPER HEALTHY. I would agree with you about no nerfs if they buffed melee by 100% across the board. Except that they won't and they even said they would 'fix' melee and didn't do shit. Level 70+, Metamorph Standard and Hardcore (PC)...

    Dragonlance Series

    I stopped reading when he decided to subvert expectations and have the hammer dude lose his memory and become a bouncer. Salvatore is just average at storytelling but I bet he also had to write with kid gloves because of the target audience. They weren't going to let him write them like GW lets...

    Dragonlance Series

    Dragonlance taught me that D&D was interesting, not all good guys were good, and that villains could be smarter than the good guys. My email address and this fucking screen name are a testament to how much they shaped my early teens.

    Lost

    Who the fuck cares if the island is purgatory? Once the Others were revealed as normal people the island became a whole lot less mysterious. Then, they tried everything in their power to make it not occult or sci-fi while still trying to make the island mysterious. They contradicted themselves...

    Lost

    No one should defend this show because this was the start of the new era of moronic show runners and writers that started out with an intriguing and mysterious show without having a middle, conclusion, or any subplots even written down. Instead, they wing the entire thing while hinting at a...

    Jesus Christ you two, move to fucking Florida or Texas. My wife and I are considering a new house since we had 2 more kids than we ever thought we would and on the newest of the new in the 2nd most premier suburb in Houston the new property tax rate will be 3.3%.

    So weird one here: I'm using AHK for my flask command and for some reason a few weeks ago it stopped responding when I hit the side mouse button for it unless I was not also pushing down both LMB and RMB. Would that be a mouse input issue or an AHK issue?

    Sirus seems impossible as a melee that has to stop and attack him. I can deathless until 50% but his final stage is just nonstop instant death when I pause to actually deal damage.

    Dying Light 2

    This is truly a case of "give me more of the same but update a ton of QoL fixes and give me an endless mode." If they do that then I will be happy.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    If you think that the studio responsible for the Witcher 2 and 3 will lake environmental detail then I don't know what you have been drinking. The watermark at the top says 'does not reflect the final game' so who know how old or what they were testing there.

    Mindhunter

    Really? I thought it gave good insight into how they become biased to the work they are doing. The story with Tench's weird adopted son being at the murder of the 2 year old, showing all the signs of being a sociopath, and him trying to justify it was great because of how off-putting it felt.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I played the ever loving fuck out of the base game and thought I had no desire to go back. Then I watched a few streams and am getting the fucking itch again. But what is this shit about a gadget that attaches you to the side of the monster and then makes them run away and hit walls? That...

    Do yourself a favor and just watch TD season 3 if just for Dorif alone. I thought it was a great return to form and buttons up quite nicely.

    Westworld

    It definitely will not get a single second of my time because there are no Westworld plot points that I care about anymore. We are not in the park, the bots are all sentient, there is no mystery about the man in black or either of the creators of the bots. So literally every storyline that drew...

    Westworld

    Can you imagine some of the story lines that COULD HAVE happened if they would have just continued season 2 in more of a sci-fi vein? Hunt down the bots that have become self-aware. This is hard because they can pretend to NOT be self-aware. What happens if a self-aware bot gets wiped...

    Westworld

    It is telling that their writers could not even make the show stay in the park for 3 seasons even with the gift that most of the first season was. They are shitty hacks that have taken yet another great idea and turned it into something bland a derivative. Thanks, but I already saw Bladerunner...

    I am no expert but I think they have moved some mods from special pools to the general pool. +life/Mana per enemy hit by your attacks used to be an elder only ring mod. Now it drops on any rings and at a pretty medium level.
