    RIP Araysar

    Yeah they literally moved all their Iranian and Afghan graft there practically overnight when we bailed from Afghanistan. And then all of a sudden "Stop Putin!!!!11!11!" became the new NPC programing..... It is both encouraging that they are so lazily transparent with their motivations and...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Its failable and adds an extra wound to your already gimped character when you do. Was easier for me to just smoke them with molten beam and dodging. The telepathy attacks work good too, since the Dark Eldar lack any psychers and defenses of their own. I mean I can see why they snag the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Second this. I _really_ hate the trope of "Oh noz! You are teh captured and all your stuff is gone!" that seems to be in nearly every one of these fucking games for the last decade (notable exception being BG3), but having to regear your guys in their mess of a UI is just rubbing salt in that...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Its not BG3 and the mid game is a bit sloggy (mostly due to getting battles in half of all warp moves and having to back track for shit), but its better than any prior Owl Cat offering. Playing it on PS5 and while inventory management is AIDS and the contextual information windows are a pain in...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    On the other hand, joggers could opt to not be chippy and just play the fucking game. Guys like Rice, Walter Payton, Sanders, ect had zero issues not getting into chippy shit like that. Modern players are fucking temper tantrum throwing toddlers.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Sneaky Pete also had intimate knowledge of the available college talent, since he was bailing before the whole recruitment controversy could catch him in its wake. So that first roster he assembled was stacked with talent on rookie contracts. Its been a slow slide into oblivion ever since...

    Civil War (2024)

    Look at every riot where we KNEW help was coming. The cities always devour themselves first, because trekking 60 miles (and making yourself a target for the jogger rape gangs roaming about) is not something any city critters are even going to contemplate en masse until the food and fuel are...

    Civil War (2024)

    This. If they are only growing for themselves the math changes really fast. Hippy Dan and his tomato garden in the CHAZ zone are going to be a lot worse off than farmers who can both draw down the herds for the short term (and hunt/fish) and have the basics in place to grow for a single...

    Civil War (2024)

    The cities would collapse, but the smaller towns would be alright in that scenario. Making food is one thing we still do a lot of locally. Its the fuel and other shit the current generation sees as "essential" that would evaporate. And without power, cities cannot logistically feed...

    Civil War (2024)

    Yes and no. Like any good parasite, a lot of China's livelihood depends on the host and nothing would unify a split USA faster than a hit on our territory by a foreign power. Our days as an external trade power would certainly be over, I agree. The real external chaos would be all the fucking...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    You can toggle hat visibility in the inventory menu, iirc. Argentia is a powerhouse, but mostly due to the fact that she comes stock with a bunch of proficiencies that other characters have to burn choices on due to her being a Sister of Battle (Power Armor being the major one since she lacks...

    Save early and often is the motto for any Owlcat game. Basically treat it like you would a Bethesda game.

    Godzilla Minus One (2023)

    Movie of the year hands down. Human element was the best its ever been done in a Zilla movie and the zilla scenes were just the right amount of screen time and carnage. Very visceral and earns all its emotional marks.

    The Day Before

    I guarantee you the volunteers are not a bunch of hard in the paint coders, but are more likely ESG checkboxes looking to get their first break who got suckered in. The invasion of Blizzard basically started with their volunteer QA and guide people worming their way in and up the ladder, too...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I have a generic acting in the sniper role atm, but I may fiddle with that. Right now Argentia is rocking a bolter and just mowing down rooms for me, with the thunderhammer as backup in close. With the way the game piles on the adds, I am generally rocking her and the navigator and spamming...

    The Day Before

    All other bullshit aside, dev houses are starting to be overrun with the diversity hires. AAA studios in the US get away with it because they have enough money to power through and beat the hell out of the non-fuckups to get shit out the door. And even then shit like D4 happens. Smaller/Indi...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Just finished up the first star system hitting level 16. The game's biggest downside is that its not BG3. It is an Owlcat came with all that entails, lesser graphics, walls of text, some minor bugs at release, ect. But it is very true to the source material and reasonably interesting. The...

    Would you wear one now though? I still see people in GB area wearing Henderson, Campbel, and Noble jerseys. I know I spotted at least one Plunket one when I lived in CA. I can respect that, as its a far cry from how say Boston fans have mostly reacted since Brady moved on. I mean outside of...

    Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

    It was further away, but that got scaled bad. In real life, the Castle Bravo nuke was way stronger than they expected (four mile wide fireball) and a bunch of the observers on the adjacent island had to run for cover. Complete shitshow in terms of long term issues with fallout and politics...

    Doctor Who

    OG Who had a daughter in his first version as well. Until new-Who it was never something taken in as a story element, to say the least. Not even the companions really had relationships. I don't mind the River Song stuff, but aside from the actor's chemistry it was never anything I considered...

    What's on your Christmas movie list?

    The Christmas Story sequel was actually fairly decent. But our must watches are: Nightmare Before Christmas Xmas Vacation It's a Wonderful Life (the OG version) Scrooged Christmas Story (the Dad reminds me of my own father) Grinch (cartoon og version)

    On this year, I think its the 9ers to lose, but they always seem to start wracking up injuries this time of year. If they somehow manage to stay healthy, I don't know who can stop them late in the season. Coach McDoofus is 0 for life against them and while I doubt they get blown out as bad, I...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    A lot of bandwagon fans were on the 9ers dick rider crew back when Walsh and Joe Cool were racking up rings for them. Its just how it is in sports, unfortunately. You can tell real fans from the hangers on because they generally have jerseys from players present when things were shitty. Like...

    Dude began his career as Rogers clipboard holder and I guess he got brought on as part of Rogers extended crew. I don't see him as anything better than Zach Wilson, but the Jets are desperately trying to get something going when in reality their season was over the day they signed Rogers. Not...

    Detroit are going through a change of culture and probably don't know how to handle success as fans. Thus when Goof has one of his inevitable bad days, they get antsy. My friend who comes over for football every week is a Lions fan from all the way back to the Jim Schwartz days and its been...

    Zarna Garg: One in a Billion (2023)

    Maria Bamford was the last female comedian I thought was actually funny and that was seeing her almost 15 years ago. Before that? I struggle to come up with even one set I saw that I found genuinely funny. Maybe some of Judy Tanuda's material or Rosanne Barr, but that was limited doses and...

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    This. That shit started in the fucking 70s and got recycled like the newer generations due with every movie these days. And Richard Gere was the dude I first ever heard get the hamster up the ass rumor attributed to them. The players change, but the game always stays the same.
