    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.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've been playing this multiplayer, using a ranger, my friend playing a cleric, and astarion+lae'zel. Astarion's ability at level 1 to so easily backstab, and then use two offhand attacks in the same round makes him so strong to begin with. Lae'zel after levelling into a battlemaster is also...

    Best Metallica Songs

    I agree with this And this But Puppets is the best album. I spent maybe 4-5 years from about 90 - 94 or so listening to nothing but Metallica. Rotating all 5 of their first albums.. Puppets and Justice got the most airtime.

    The Queen's Gambit

    Absolutely, that one kicked me right in the guts.

    The Queen's Gambit

    Anya Taylor-Joy is amazing in this. Really strong effort from her in a wonderful show. This is one of those shows that I hadn't heard of when I started watching it.. Just saw it on the front page of netflix, looked interesting, started watching, then finished the whole show in 2 days. Great stuff.

    Very satisfying start to season 2.. Looking forward to the next one!

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They did add some content. They had events that added new areas, bosses etc. Not much though. The core combat was fun, if they can add more depth and replayability to the game to draw more players in then maybe they will be able to add content down the track.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Definitely looks like an improvement. If only they'd spent time completing it in the first place before serving it only 1/4 cooked. I own anthem on two platforms so assuming I get the update for free I'll try it out. Guess it won't come out until 2022 at the earliest though since they probably...

    Frostpunk

    Well it may not have looked too crash hot on day 8, but I finished the scenario on this save. People aren't kidding when they say the first few days are the hardest. Game got drastically easier once you get over the early game hump. What you do in the first few days sets you up for success or...

    Dark Matter

    Pocket dial :/ There was an even longer gibberish reply saved as a draft. I guess I pocketed my phone with this thread as the last thing I'd opened. I have been watching Dark Matter lately!

    Frostpunk

    Just picked this up on sale. It's a hard game. So many ways to lose in the first week. I'm up to day 8 on my current attempt, and it's not looking too crash hot. This is way harder than most games of this type where you really have to fuck up to fail. Usually problems are easily solvable. Run...

    The Haunting of Bly Manor

    Was a good show, pretty tense most of the way throughout without really having jump scares. It was well written and mostly well acted. The au pair was a bit off somehow but the rest were strong. I haven't seen haunting of hill house so I guess I'll go back and watch that one now.

    Girls obviously don't get it done, even when there's 3 girl supes - it takes a 10 year old boy to get the job done.

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    This arrived on netflix so I watched it. It was a pretty tough slog.. movie is quite boring.

    It's under my desk so I can only see it when I'm entering the room. My labrador who snoozes at/on my feet can see it though!

    My new 3700X system arrived. Runs nice and quiet. One thing I didn't realise about current gen PCs is how many coloured lights they have inside. CPU fan, ram, fix card all cycling coloured light patterns. Something for my dog to enjoy when he's keeping me company while I work.

    Woke TV goes to 11 - new diversity standards

    Did they define what an 'underrepresented group' is? If not then it's probably pretty easy to make the case that every TV show meets those standards. Oh that cast of 100% white males? One of them is gay. One of them is atheist. One of them is bulgarian. One of them knows how to play the ukulele...

    Enjoyable especially the end. Church of the Collective storyline still disconnected but I guess it has to make sense soon since we're nearing the end of the season.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    When someone's most major complaint is the art that was used to display the skill tree you know they are going to complain about everything and can safely disregard their opinion.

    How to handle a bad VP

    I'm frequently put in similar situations where I have to explain why things things that wen't wrong happened. I almost always avoid naming names. I'll say (as an example) 'the power cable was accidentally pulled out' or 'backup of the data had not been confirmed before running the upgrade'. If...

    Like this? MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI | RETURN TO HONOR I read that some people had issues with dark rock pro 4 clearing their ram. How can I tell if this will be an issue for me? especially with gskill ram which tends to have largeish casing.

    https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/8pv6n7 Am I likely to have any clearance issues with mid ATX cases like the be quiet! ones? I've never used anything other than full sized before. How good are the stock AMD coolers? Maybe I don't need the aftermarket one if I'm not planning to OC. Planning to...

    Living in Australia, there have been 0 covid cases in my city in months (not the case for some other cities in AU). I do own some home made cloth masks I've never used. When out and about I do occasionally see people wearing masks, but very few. Life is pretty much normal here although we are...

    Oxygen Not Included

    What world trait causes these hot boulders? I've never seen them before but they are all over this map including several in the starting biome which is quite the hazard! Here's one which spawned on top of the abyssalite between a slime biome, a rust biome, and space. There's no volcano nearby so...

    Yes, not anywhere near this severe though. Come to think of it I think this is a non standard map type so that's probably why.

    I still have lots of projects I want to try out. I keep restarting, usually after something goes horribly wrong. Like my most recent game was on verdante, I had mountains of space materials and a map full of volcanoes, hot steam vents and other good endgame stuff, so i was trying out all sorts...

    My latest map.. most stressful start I've had so far and it's far from secure yet. Had large 1600 degree obsidian chunks spawn ~35 tiles from my printing pod, 2 to the left and 1 down. Started vaccuum sealing it but it was too slow and the heat was very quickly getting in so i rushed insulated...

    Stormfront seems pretty legit power wise and appears not to be afraid of homelander at all - to the point of openly intentionally antagonising him. Pretty interesting character and great s2 so far!

    Supposedly they hotfixed it so necromechs drop them "more", and they spawn "more often" in vaults. 9 vault runs in the last 2 days, 0 drops from necromechs and 1 from random spawn in a vault.. Got sick of vaults and started doing the bounties which have them as rewards last night.. around 12...

    Pretty much. No need for sour gas boilers when solar across the map and whatever hydrogen/natural gas you've got is enough power for almost anything.

    The new new player experience is part of heart of deimos which is going live 25th Aug. I too am a frame hoarder and have almost all normal frames still. I'm missing a couple I've never finished such as Ash and Atlas.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    They improved the derpface somewhat with early patches. They didn't fix the cringeworthy conversation options but that kind of thing doesn't bother me too much. As you mentioned it did feel like an ME game, it felt like it had a big scope, the wonder of exploring somewhere new, and the combat...
