Just because some ’25er made a new thread instead of bumping the old thread so mods had to clean up and then of course @Utnayan is the resident lore master of the series because why wouldn’t he be!

Let’s check in on @Lanx

That would look amazing next to my Kingdoms of Amalur Ogre.

I like Dastmalchian so much though it is hard to hate him even when we're supposed to hate him. Also, not sure if they'll even try to address it in the show but in the books it is just <future year> and there's barely any foundation for the history of Earth, space exploration, etc. There are...

Saw this on Instagram and thought it was pretty funny. They gave a few other interesting things on their shop page too. https://cwandt.com/products/cwt_hsp2pp4_2411

May as well start this in the background since I just finished Devil's Plan Season 2.

Yeah if she’s used to working the LG interface probably easier than retraining. If she’s using a Roku stick with the LG may be just as easy to get the Roku? If you want a sample size of 1 our Roku Pro TV has been perfect for a living room kids show / occasional adult show. edit: saw you linked...

Your tables are maps though and serve a purpose. Not just a piece of wood with Care Bear diarrhea poured down the middle.

I'm scared to even ask...

I’m not sure if you’re looking for anything else, but we use this at home for our antenna on a couple of TVs, and phones while in bed, in the house (there’s been a couple of early AM thunderstorms and watching off the antenna on my phone was easier than streaming from the channels website). It...

Does this work to just drop in the link? https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/books/jim-butcher-the-dresden-files.html

Oh nice, I must not have made it that far into the videos or seen the update. Interesting concept. Maybe in our next home / home build we'll try to plan something like this. I definitely want a better Ethernet / Cable management system to each room or down from the attic / up from crawl space...

Kidding aside and just giving him a hard time, I really do hate that "trend" and whoever established it. Whether it was home builders redesigning living rooms and not leaving room, or whatever. Don't really blame homeowners, I just really dislike it. Had friends and in-laws with TVs mounted 6-7'...

Don't worry, it looks silly with any TV hanging over a fireplace, 83" won't make a difference.

Pretty sure Linus did a whole video series on trying to set this up for his house and eventually abandoned the idea. That was a while ago so memory is fuzzy. May be worth seeing if they’re out there or he has a wrap up/summary of his experience with the attempt.

If you like audiobooks I would recommend them. Not sure I would have put the same personality that Kevin Free did with Murderbot if I were just reading the dialogue in a page, and that is really 50% of what made it for me. The stories and characters and setting were all great, but the...

A few have come up on Broken Binding for trade but I avoided it bc I tend to not buy physical or limited copies unless it ranks high on my list. Wil try it out after the next couple on my list.

Not related but what are your thoughts on Tchaikovsky? I see posts all the time about the Children of Time series but have never given anything of his a shot.

I think the Fractal NorthXL packing was the best out of my new build, also. It came with a very clear "Quick Start" guide for fan placement options including AIO set ups or air. All the boxes were clearly labeled and individually packaged for screws and accessories. It was just well done.

Yes, I used mas about 20x reformatting my machine between Win 11 and WIn 10 recently. Works perfectly.

Our toddler likes to stand on the dishwasher door to help unload and hang off the top rack. It is what it is and I never liked the dishwasher that came with the house, and it made him happy. Was looking for Memorial Day sales around town and instead found an open box display model Bosch 800...

I’m pretty sure the scene in the show plays out very close to how it does in All Systems Red, with the helmet coming off after fighting the sand creature away. That’s pretty early in the book? But it has been a while and it was obviously accompanied by more internal stuff about being...

The first episode tone was a little off for me, but I’m going into it expecting where things are going. The crew are definitely a bunch of space hippies so they got that right, but they’re a little too “zany” and over the top. Not so far off, they’re supposed to be very naive, I just never got...

Avoided this thread but have played the last couple of nights. Not far, opened up the map and just did the zone with the patchwork Gestral guys and boss with the shield? Ran around for a bit and beat the big Chromatic map boss guy with the anchor, and did all the fights at the Gestral Arena...

I wasn’t able to watch the 1st two yet unfortunately, maybe today during kiddo nap time. Really excited though. To celebrate the release of the show the artist that did the work for the SubPress books has released a couple more prints for sale on his site: https://www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

Gibbet Hill by Bram Stoker Short story published in 1890 that was rediscovered in 2024 by an amateur researcher and Stoker enthusiast. It is a tale about a traveler on his way to Gibbet Hill that encounters three strange children. The children accompany the traveler to the top of Gibbet Hill, a...

Hard to keep up with the thread since I'm a couple books behind and don't want too many spoilers or anything. Finished Gate of the Feral Gods on my drive home yesterday from work trip. It was pretty good, and I continue to really enjoy the series. Almost out of Audible credits after being at 12...

Is there a chance that a lot of that 3rd, 4th, 5th villain stuff is all part of flashbacks to establish Supes has been around for a while. Just trying to think of if it will be handled better to not make the movie feel so busy and so many bad guys.

“Puts privilege through the wringer!” “A brilliant scathing takedown of the wealthy and the beautiful!” I feel personally attacked but will still probably watch it. For free.

Just finished To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams which wraps up the trilogy. For me this series entirely wore out its welcome. It could have been edited to about half the length and probably been okay, or maybe split the final book in to two and add more actual content. I’m a very slow reader...

I got about half way through last night before going to bed and it isn’t bad. Pretty close to the trailer but gives you better insight in to the dad kind of losing it. Will finish tonight.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2980648/ Wife pick for Friday night. It wasn’t a bad little movie for a low key family type film. 7/10 may be pushing it but 6/10 is fine. The big issue we both felt the movie has is that it feels out of place in time. It is set very modern day but the themes just...

I’m kind of torn. Would take pictures but already sent the MX back. The audible clicking doesn’t bother me so that’s wash between the two. The MX is a larger mouse and felt like a bigger base for my hand to rest on, with the Ergo it feels like I need a wrist pad and that my pinky drags the...

I think the 6" down rod is going to place your blades at that 8" level, since likely (with most "standard" fans) your blades aren't mounted right at the top of the motor housing. They're like... middle of the housing, you know?

I need to replace the stupid fan in the nursery. The room is on the small side for a bedroom, so I went with a much smaller flush mount fan that was LED and had a remote. Never again. Have hated it ever since I put it in two years ago.

The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu Similar to There Will Come Soft Rains by Bradbury, this is another short story that Conversation Tree Press published a little bit ago, just had no picked it up to read until today. The story is centered around a half American half Chinese kid named Jack whose mom...

I've already got the old logi, just ordered the new one it'll be here in the morning.

I don't even know what this top thumb button does and never bothered to install the stupid logitech software. I just use the two finger buttons and the forward/back thumb buttons. Maybe I'll pick up the other one to try out and return this one or give it to wife.

After watching those and a couple other videos I went ahead and grabbed the Logi MX off Amazon b/c it was next day delivery. Not sure if it is the newest or whatever. Did you mean the Ergo Lift? Did even notice that when I went to buy. Honestly the transition has been really easy. Almost...

Interesting modeling of this roller delay subgun. Straight mag is an odd choice given the cultural recognition of curved magazines for most applications. 10mm straight mags would be clear so I'm guessing this is still 9mm? Barrel looks like it has tri-lug with thread protector for direct mount...
