GodDAMn what is the defense flavor for this league? Is it just effective hit pool as high as possible, because my usual defensive measures are not fucking cutting it. I am dying to Delve rares at level 72 (my current char is 83), especially if there is more than one. Ridiculous. I can do the...

I picked this up for me and my 10 year old and he loves it. He is a huge Minecraft player and he likes the Minecraft-like stuff in the game (particularly the taming). We've played close to 5 hours in the last day and a half, killed the first two bosses (surface and underground level 4) - it is...

Watching the Flames shoot 95% of their pucks into Smith's chest making him look like an actual decent goalie really chapped my ass.

Man, the Rangers playing comeback two series in a row is pretty cool. I missed the game tonight and just tuned in for the last 30 seconds lol. Edit - Unfortunately Tampa really knows how to win in the playoffs. As a Calgary resident, it is difficult for me to root for Edmonton, but they have...

I watched an indie Youtuber play the demo (Splattercat Gaming) and was intrigued. The pacing seems a little off, but I really like the dungeon aesthetic and the loot system. I have it on my Wishlist but I am thinking on waiting for a deeper sale than the current 20%.

Man I am having one of those leagues where shit is just not dropping for me. Last league I had a 6L and some other important shit by the time I got to level 80, but this league I haven't seen a single 5L chest drop yet or a Harvest craft OR enough fuses to do it. I even had to run a Purity of...

I'm 52. Trust me when I say you can keep going for a long time yet, it just takes longer to recover from shit and sometimes you have to take a break. I ain't benching into the 200's anymore, but I just pretend it is because I don't have a spotter in my basement gym. And take care of that hip!

I have been remiss in reading these last several months, but I landed on this during my Covid stint and it is getting surprisingly good: Also, my fav author is releasing a book on the 24th and I am pumped - Edit - it was posted above and my friend lied to me about the release date so I just...

Here in Canadiana, I went to see The Bad Guys with my son and Baby Mamma. On a Saturday Afternoon. Tickets were $41. 2 drink, 2 popcorn, 2 candy deal was $30+. It cost nearly $75 for the three of us to see that movie and have snacks. Now I want my boy to get some of that movie theatre...

Bahaha I just started playing the league today, and caught up on this thread............replacing mob modifications with Archnemesis effects is just the most hilariously GGG thing that has ever been done to PoE. Seriously, no one in that office actually plays this game anymore. Anyway, trying...

True story, I was chewing on the last of a cough drop and spit it onto my keyboard when I read this.

Ooooh I was actually thinking about this game the other day and wondering what became of it. The game that's basically a Tool music video.

Wow. That last trailer shows Cronenberg going back to his roots. It's like Existenz meets Naked Lunch meets Crash. Body horror erotica. I am not sure if I am morbidly curious or actually interested.

Yeah, there was a reason that the ARPG was Warhammer: Inquisitor and not Warhammer: Space Marines.

I knew one of you PoE Uber Nerds would come in here with the best suggestions. Thanks!!!!! I mean that with the greatest admiration and respect, of course! Edit - Yeah I had already done that with my crit staff cyclone build with all his utility flasks, I didn't sink any real resources into...

Well I didn't get a chance to play my Poison Concoction build past early maps, so maybe I will give it another go. My issue is that I am terribad at min/maxing in general, but even moreso in a build that is not str based. In early maps and even in low level Heist that char was pretty damn...

I will watch this. If only because not a single character in that preview has a Scottish accent and I am amazed. Also, I have always liked his style of humor.

Does anyone care about cooking shows anymore? I haven't watched TV in years, but I was a watcher of the original home renovation shows and the emergence of the cooking shows (the OG Iron Chef was super cool) when new channels started. Is this shit still popular? In a time of inflation and...

I have all the time in the world for Jeffrey Wright, who plays Commissioner Gordon. If you have never watched Hold The Dark, you should give it a go. Wright is the main character and is amazeballs in this movie. The end of the movie is a little meh, but does not ruin it all. Edit - to the...

Seriously - coddled children. What the heck do you expect after working for a couple of months? Unless you have a VP title, you ain't negotiating a parachute in your contract, so you go in with open eyes. But, sure, expect a 6 month severance for 2 months of work, sure. Buyer beware, bitches.

I had a complete blast with 5, and so did my son. We played the living crap out of it. It is also extensively modded, ala Battletech, so even without DLCs you can add a serious amount of depth and breadth to the game as you like. When you get the twin gauss Clan mech at the end of the vanilla...

I do not like her acting or screen presence. At all. Just Scowly McPouty face, Midsommar was just a long meme of her crying and pouting. I haven't seen anything with her more recently, so maybe she has improved her range, but I am not excited about this choice.

We all knew Netflix was going to fail once the Streaming Wars began. Their business model was basically being there when the brick and mortar rental stores failed and studios/distributors needed a fast way to continue to get eyeballs. As soon as they got their act together, those studios...

It's been like that for 3-4 years now. If you go to the end of any genre listing, there is always 5-8 Indian movies there. I spent hours downgrading them trying to get the algorithm to stop posting them to me, but Netflix is desperate to pad out their content and so we get every movie from...

First, to "Ballerina": Holy effing no. Women cannot lead in this genre, no friggin' way. Also de Armas is a horrible choice, she is soft and pretty and NOT A FUCKING INSANE ASSASSIN. Second to John Wick: tenuous hope, but based on the downward trajectory of the last 2 movies, I am not holding...

Haha I will wait with interest but I am certainly not going to get hyped until I read some concrete reviews. Where in the heck did this come from all of a sudden???

Right? Why else did everyone go see Eastern Promises after all.

There was a time when The Exorcist caused people to vomit, faint, have panic attacks, you name it. In this day and age of deep jadedness, I wonder if what Cronenberg says is just hype or if he can pull it off. Videodrome really freaked me the fuck out when I saw it in the mid '80s. Existenz...

But it wasn't good because of Willis. Blunt and Levitt were awesome. I still think the movie was conceptually interesting, moderately executed, but the ending was amazing. Time loop shit is difficult to communicate coherently: sometimes you have to partially lobotomize yourself to enjoy it lol.

It looks like the majority of the oil and gas companies in Alberta, at least the major ones, are either going back to full office or a hybrid. I know Suncor is offering 3 office, 2 home, Mon&Thurs or Tue&Fri and so staggering personnel. I am seeing parking lot signs actually offering flexible...

Yeah Canada has a similar post 18 Child Support law that states if they are living at home while going to a university you still have to pay Child Support. Ridiculous paying for what basically counts as an "adult". I was rustled by your Child Support not changing from 2 kids to 1 but that...

Even more awesome is the fact that you pay tax on it and she doesn't. When I was paying Spousal Support Payments I got some satisfaction that the ex had to pay taxes on it and I got the taxes back (and she, inevitably, failed to put aside money for those taxes). But the Child Support is...

Over the X'mas holiday I put around 40 hours into this after playing in very early access for around 20 hours. The campaign is very smooth and pretty much holds your hand and guides you for the first 20 hours or so. Very well done. The horrible repetition of the early game is gone. That...

True story - my girlfriend coming out of uni was a math/chemical engineering dual major. She was fit, good-looking, smart, and, on top of everything else, a classically-trained singer who competed throughout her life. Eventually she bored of me and moved to California and then Washington...

So......... I just subscribed to Crave to catch up on some stuff I have not watched yet, and the first thing I watched was Dune. It was visually stunning and well made and acted, but I can't say I was overly "entertained" - it was amazing, but......?. I think if you were not a fan or at least...

I do not disagree. I am simply saying that Jada's revelation of pleasure from the self puts a whole new meaning on her open marriage and how fucked up Will has become. She clearly puts zero emphasis on intimacy in a relationship if this is true. No wonder she just bangs whatever. And poor...
