    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Some relatives of mine divorced. Was extremely bitter, they fought tooth and nail with lawyers over every detail. They ended up losing a huge portion of the assets to legal cost to the point that they both had to rent again as their fully paid of house was mostly eaten by lawyers. Didn't seem...

    WandaVision

    I watched the two episodes again with the family and enjoyed them more the second time around. The 60s era comedy is still funny to me and they did a pretty good job of capturing the feel of it. The wife and I both laughed out loud several times and my 7yo son thought the magic show was hilarious.

    WandaVision

    First 2 episodes are out.. very little happened, but somehow I still enjoyed it. Not sure why. Show is odd..

    The Expanse

    The holden storyline has been boring until this episode, all of a sudden it's interesting. No Amos at all, booo. I've been enjoying the alex/bobbie stuff though since I like those two - even if they were only in this episode for 1 minute.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I'm just using various models of mikrotik routers scattered around my house all managed by capsman. Trivial to set up and gives me various toys I can play with. I had a problem with chromecast where if sending and recieving devices were connected to different APs they wouldn't be able to cast...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Most of them have attack patterns that are easy to recognise and avoid. A few of them have weak spots too where it does more damage and staggers them. Investing in perks in body makes them a lot easier.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Nah you can wear really strong armour with a body of 3. You can craft armour mods that add many 100s of armour per upgrade slot, so one set of pants can provide thousands of armour.

    Shawlitics: The Return of Shawcial Capital

    Is there any chance of decent electoral reform in the United States? It's probably at least a partial lack of understanding on my part, but I stare in bewilderment about aspects of how their democracy works. As an example the electoral system seems designed on purpose to entrench a 2 party...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    If you keep your distance all of his attacks are easily avoidable. Missile volley -> keep moving. Minigun -> hide behind something. Leap in the air -> move to avoid his landing. I just shot him to death with a tech rifle, didn't take too long. When he leaps to the top floor and spawns adds, I...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    Looks like I didn't hate this movie as much as most people. It wasn't good, but it had good parts about it. There are some nice ideas buried under the mess. I really enjoyed the Max Lord character, it is really refreshing to have the major villain of an A Tier superhero movie not be either a...

    The Big Short (2015)

    I agree this movie downplayed the home buyers culpability, but also the stripper was indeed being taken advantage of. They are not mutually exclusive. That's what some regulation is for, protecting the vulnerable/stupid from predatory sales practices. We had a royal commission here a couple of...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm running it on PC, GTX 1070, ryzen 3700X, running at 2560x1440 on ultra, works well. I've finished the game and only had a few minor graphics glitches along the way.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The only bugs I've encountered are very minor. The worst one I would say is sometimes quest objectives are a bit hard to click on. I'm running the game on ultra in 2560x1440 using a gtx 1070. Runs perfectly and very smooth. Looks great. Probably my ryzen 3700X helps. It's a wonderful game...

    Twitch.tv

    I've had facebook remove videos of my children playing video games, dancing to music in shopping centers and whatnot. In each case I submitted challenges citing "fair dealing" (the Australian equivalent of fair use) and facebook restored the videos in short order. The videos were all private...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    When I was doing the mission with Panam where you drive into the base to murder everyone it autosaves as you're driving in. When I reload that autosave, I see the game from Panam's point of view, can see her hair in front of the camera as she is driving etc. As soon as the car stops and you get...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Same here. Bump people with your car, cops are on you. Shoot someone when cops are around, they attack. I even broke up muggings and other crime and had police on me because they were close enough to hear the gunshots. I've never tried punching civilians though so maybe that does work.

    They're making a new Willow series? Color me interested... pity Val Kilmer is too old and fat to reprise his role.

    Cyberpunk 2077 should have got game of the year. They had like 24 hours to play it before the awards, that's enough right???

    Agreed, the combat in BDO is already more complex and involved than almost any SP game.. I have high hopes for what they will do here.

    Raised by Wolves

    Binged this over the last 2 days. Great world building, total clusterfuck of storylines towards the end of the season. Still, I love sci-fi and will watch season 2 if it eventuates. They are going to have a hell of a time getting to the equator as planned without the shuttle. Walking across a...

    Oxygen Not Included

    It's really early access thought and obviously incomplete. The whole radiation system is still missing. Elements are there on the new map, but you can't do anything with them yet. I feel like there should be more maps too but there's still only the one - swamp biome starting location. ONI is...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    It's hard to say for sure but it reads like resignations. Would not surprise me if they both go off and join/found a studio together. Blog entries, both leaving at the same time and mentioning each-other, and the fact EA don't have a replacement for 1 of the roles ready are all clues.

    Oxygen Not Included

    Once you get the mechanics sorted out it becomes pretty simple since there's very little randomness in the game.

    Oxygen Not Included

    It's most often compared with rimworld (which I've never played) It has gameplay elements in common with factory building games like factorio or satisfactory, and survival games like frostpunk, don't starve, etc.

    Playstation 5

    I haven't been following this thread but it looks like the most major software bug I was experiencing with the PS5 was fixed. For the first 5 days or so after launch, my PS5 frequently needed to be rebooted if you wanted to change apps. Close netflix, open fortnite, it would display an error...

    Oxygen Not Included

    I played the Spaced Out Alpha a little. The starting biome is a completely new one with all different critters/plants and a lot of new materials. Some new critter mechanics are pretty interesting. I'm curious if there will be other maps for the DLC or just the one.. Maybe they will patch more in...

    The Mandalorian

    As mentioned a bunch of times, mando/favreau+filoni carrying the whole franchise at this point. On clone wars, I think the whole series is worth watching. Some (many?) episodes are definitely skippable (such as most of the droid focussed ones (like Secret Weapons, ugh), but a huge portion of...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    My 7 year old is obsessed with this. Seems like he's pretty good at it too, wins quite often. One thing I've noticed is most of the people he's playing against (on console) can't aim. Son wins fights 1v3 1v4 pretty often just by constantly moving/jumping so they can't hit him and taking them out...

    Yes there were 4 options: adventure mode, permadeath mode, 'easier' mode, and normal which is the default/one I selected.

    No Man's Sky

    So I picked this game up for the PS5, knowing very little about it. Started it up, default difficulty, arrived on a planet and am immediately freezing to death. It's telling me I need to repair my scanner using ferrite, I look around for ferrite, still freezing.. play with the controls, figure...

    Best Metallica Songs

    I've still got an original 1987 copy of Garage Days.. It used to be worth a lot as it was a rare collectors item but since it's been re-released a bunch of times it's probably worthless now.
