I've had The Price Is Right channel on Roku in the background while baby is napping here recently, and one of the prizes was this. Was before my time and had never heard of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citicar

I saw the post last night in bed and was zooming in trying not to trigger myself. Meant to wake up this morning and joke about mocking up some lines to verify that they're all aligned correctly. Really undecided about whether I like this style of switch or not. My initial reaction is no, but...

Watched this morning in the background and it is, as expected, not great. Writing is really bad, especially in any moment that is meant to be sentimental. The main AI suit that she uses also misses the mark. The guy who voices him just couldn't make the AI in to a character, whether he wanted to...

I was in Key Arena for The International dota tournament when they did that reveal and basically everyone there boo'd. It was hilarious.

If we get quality stuff like that I'll be at least a little thankful for the laughs.

Oh haha, I think that's supposed to be an Election poster someone made! Not a project announcement from Erikson, haha

I found this guy's site the other day that 3d prints brackets for Ego and Kobalt stuff. Ordered a couple of things for my Ego string trimmer, blower and hedge trimmer. I have pegs in the garage from a previous owner but the stuff doesn't sit right on it so figured it'd be worth trying this out...

I’ve used the same CertaPro sales guy for 12 or 15 years. Exterior and interior jobs. Each time I received multiple quotes and they were always middle price, so kept using them based on previous experience and satisfaction. Our new house they did the polyaspartic floors in garage, but my wife...

Did not love this so much. Had a lot of opportunity to be clever and highlight some sort of mystery / puzzle aspect, but never got there. I complained about the cruelty of Squid Game but liked it for how involved and elaborate everything was. This had almost none of that. It turns in to a sort...

Ripped from FB group:

@Lanx is this what you were talking about for the Kobalt garage storage? Reading that conversation make me thing that I may as well do something with that space in the garage not being used by my truck. They have an 84" version and I've got about 96" on one wall between two windows I could use...

I enjoyed the first couple but maybe it was Orb, Sceptre, Throne where they really started to suck?

I can see that, for sure. TGINW just felt like a good return to Bridgeburner story and the shenanigans of sappers and banter between all of them that the early stories had with Fiddler and company. Guess I’m saying the enjoyment came from that and less about the Teblor and Toblakai stuff.

The God is Not Willing?? Man that was great. It felt like a higher tier Book of the Fallen story and not one of the last books that went on for 10,000 pages about nothing. Fall of Light special edition came in yesterday so put it on the shelf. There’s still a couple of random Bauchelian books I...

We withdrew an offer on a home because during the inspection our realtor was like “Hey, go pull your truck in to the garage just to be sure.” That thing didn’t have a chance in hell of fitting. Some noped out of that. Guy tried to sue us for backing out but whatever. He got over it and still...

All of 1 and some of 2? Can't remember exactly how much in to book 2, but there are parts. *edit: Actually, most of the side storylines are direct from Book 3. All of the buying a star, the dream about being in a boat in the fog, Project Staircase, and a few others, etc. They don't happen with...

Quantic Dream hasn't been announced as a developer? Wait nevermind... haha quick Wiki check, that place sounds awesome.

This post from 2023 was the first time I had ever heard of Yasuke. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/general-gaming-news-and-discussion.11116/post-4526147 You may be remembering this conversation. Since you also responded to it...

There wasn't much ship variety in Homeworld 1 since I just built salvage corvettes over and over, hah.

My uneducated comments are below and mostly just ramblings. So not meaning to preach to you stuff you already know… I don’t know what you mean by jig to drill in to the leg. Your skill is way beyond needing something to drill a hole in the bottom of a square. I’m sure they make them but I can’t...

It’s a special day haha.

I’ll do that. Really feels like I saw either or both looking at the screen caps. But no specific memories or feelings about them. I knew Taylor Sheridan did Yellowstone but glanced over the fact he wrote Sicario. Honestly, probably better I didn’t know given my thoughts on Yellowstone. Hah

Yeah I have the original mothership on my shelf from that collectors edition. May even have the box somewhere but we've moved since. Not sure if I'm $175 in on this though if the game ends up sucking.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3397884/ First time I've actually watched this, sounds ridiculous to admit. Was great though. Watching Prisoners, Arrival, and this more or less back-to-back really drives in Villeneuve's style. We'll do Dune Part 1 tonight to keep it going. Regarding Sicario...

To pitch my opinion in to the hat, a lot of the "woke" stuff push back I see is because including this stuff seems to always come at the expense of overall quality. As if more emphasis is making sure a game is inclusive and checks all the right boxes is a priority over the gameplay and other...

Thanks, I sure do. Traveling next week so have about 14 hours of drive time and needed something to listen to anyways.

Fall of Light special edition from SubPress should be here today or Monday. After a little non-fiction side track I may go back to restart this trilogy since I never read past Forge.

Thanks! Funny enough when I went to Amazon this was the first result. Now to remember if I read it 🤣

Yeah I watched it yesterday and was so bored I didn’t even bother to find the thread. No idea how you take this concept and make it such a drag, but here you go. The whole crew were just so bad. Each character / archetype was hyper Flanderized or something. The humor never worked. The last...

Does anyone have recommendations on a good book dealing with Mao, China, and the rise of the Cultural Revolution? I've read Gulag Archipelago so was thinking of something along the lines of Solzhenitsyn's work. Did another read through of Three Body Problem after the show came out and so was...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10597418/ This was terrible. No idea how it has a 6.5/10 on IMDB. The amount of crap no name no production movies that I stumble across is unreal, but for the most part they're fairly accurately represented rating wise. This was a 5/10 at best. It wants to be some...

I caught up on this today and really really enjoyed it. The writing / dialogue didn't really distract, although I can see where the complaint comes from. It comes off as very detective noir or detective pulp, maybe it is from reading so much Raymond Chandler, played a lot of Under the Killing...

I read a comment on the IMDB trivia page where he said “I couldn’t do that roll today.” But didn’t go looking for any other discussions about it. Totally forgot he was Plague in Hackers too. Haha! Also the director, John Badham, did Saturday Night Fever, War Games, Meatballs, etc, didn’t...

Introducing the kid to more of my classics, tonight was: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091949/ Screw a 6.6/10, this is an easy 8.5/10. Guttenberg doing Guttenberg, and can we talk about Fisher Stevens amazing performance? Is that black face or punjab face? it really is great though...

Tittitani Furniture

The last medical procedural I saw posted about had something to do with trans affirming care and the last police procedural was about gamergate and white hate crime. Pretty sure those genes are out too.

I guess Kendrick and Drake are beefing. Picture is Drake's mansion covered with registered sex offender icons. Tryin' strike a chord and it's probably a minor!

Good ole Steve. First Woodworking videos I ever watched.

Heh... I'm sure this doesn't even count three trips to Seattle to watch The International. Haven't launched Dota 2 in probably 5 years (oh found that). Still some of the most fun I had gaming for 6 or 7 years.
