Thank God Auburn finally fired Harsin. It has been so miserable each week I barely even remember there's a game being played. Cadillac Williams as interim head coach which sounds bizarre. We're reaching that point where guys I watched play are now getting head coaching slots. I actually really...

I like both. Mostly I like that it is easy to watch and can be put on in the background and isn't a huge commitment. Reminds me of the days of Parks and Rec, Office, Community, etc. Initially we just picked it up because of Rose McIver and knowing her from iZombie and then just stuck around. The...

That's good to know. I'm out this week on business in Nashville so won't get to try it out until this weekend. Don't do too much sliding around on my new desk setup so hopefully it won't shift too much. Measured my pile using a suggested method from YouTube and it looked not quite 3/4" so seemed...

Conversely I just got my Vertx Transit 2.0 and so far love it. It isn't nearly what you'd use for the purpose of comparing it to the LTT Pack, but so far it is great for my needs. It fits my Eluktronics 15" along with note taking material, pens, power bank for a phone. Then in the front pocket...

The Thing (1982) - 9/10; It has been probably 15 years since watching this and (un)fortunately I did not remember much at all. It is really incredible though. The create effects are awesome. Mrs. Intrinsic can barely do any type of blood and even she couldn't turn away from how insanely over the...

We’ll probably find out a lot more through the show but the way I look at it is at least they aren’t dealing with stopping a SkyNet or killing a Hitler, etc. The “thing” is so rudimentary and generic it becomes more about pre-event and post-event, and not about the event. The story is left to...

From The Peripheral so read if you’d like to hear the most detailed explanation we, as readers, receive. There’s a little bit more but that’s the gist of it. I do feel like there’s more and that was the easy version for Flynne to understand. But all in all there’s no great reveal so far...

So Cherise and the RI, where Aelita and previously alive Grace worked, are assuming that Aelita gave something to / stole something with Flynne (the events that occurred in Episode 1) and she knows the whereabouts of it and/or Aelita? Doesn't specifically mesh with their desire to kill Flynne...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) - Holy crap this was really bad. It feels worse remembering it being sort of bad but in a goofy and classic way, but after watching it tonight it was kind of just bad. Hard to believe that the same people did the TV show just a few years later. What was cool...

I just put in an order for some stuff for the office and included this one that isn't glass but seemed to be close. The only reason I didn't default go with the glass mat was because the size I wanted was $140 or something from Lorell which seemed to be recommended. Needed to get an order in...

Just finished setting this chair up. My initial 5 minute impression is... "I don't know." It isn't immediately comfortable or uncomfortable. I do wish it had adjustable lumbar support. Maybe I just need to adjust how I sit. It is 1,000% cooler than my foam chair. My office is 10,000 degrees...

Eh, it is going to be winter anyways.

@Lanx I just got these Chinese medicine (not the Gillette disposables, though they probably come from China too). Is my dick going to fall off?

I'm going to start reading Agency tonight since I finished this book and didn't realize the second was already released until it was pointed out in The Book House. Even searched Amazon but for some reason it didn't show up. Usually Kindle says like "yay you finished this one, now read the second...

I'm redoing my office layout to separate out my two stations and ordered a new chair through Wayfair. I know it isn't anything crazy but it was convenient when ordering office furniture. We'll see how it feels...

Interested in what you find/found. I would like something for my office as well. A little while ago the only thing I found was the narrow rectangle style and really I wanted something larger to span two positions as my work pc and personal pc are next to each other along my desk.

Is that an AI sad clown filter on that thing's face?

I liked it. Not turning this In to a Book vs TV show thread. They long left the reservation of the book plot. Assuming that in the end it ties together more closely. @Wombat I though this would have been a really cool place to hire Thomas Jane and make him play a Miller type character and...

I may start this tonight to see how much they changed from the book. Not that the book impressed me a whole lot but there were cool things going on. Looking forward to it either way.

Could always do something like this to have on your shelf if you end up liking them. That’s why I was excited about the Grim Oak Press release so I could finally have a good shelf copy...

Wasn’t it Arkham Knights that they did the mass refund and did the game overhaul patch like 6 months later? Am I remembering that correctly? Only in that case it was a port that was fubar and not a new release?

You mean alot of worfs?

The Peripheral by William Gibson Not sure how to feel about this one. Read it because the show is coming out on Amazon. I liked the idea and the characters, most of the stuff they were building up with the jackpot, the tech, etc. But the whodunit felt very underwhelming, disconnected, and not...

Did something happen during development that changed the direction, was it misleading previews, or did we all just misunderstand?

“put his dogs on the line?” Like, literally dog fighting. Because that would be funny. Michael Vick cameo?

Scream (1996) - Wife had never seen this and to me it is an iconic piece of film. Maybe that has more to do with coming out right around the time we (our social group) were all 15, 16, 17; but it feels like a big piece movie history. I could be overstating that but whatever. 25 years later and...

There's a surprising amount of content we've randomly stumbled across on Peacock. I guess it is just stuff that we didn't realize NBCUniversal owned and wasn't available anywhere else. Xfinity does a good job of pointing you towards the free streaming options when you search for something...

That's something I didn't know existed and is kind of intriguing...

My local hardwood spot really ticked me off today and I walked out mid sale. Just a lot of irritating things and I’ll spare the whole story. Really just plain rudeness and piss poor customer appreciation/ service. Anyways! Combing Facebook and Google and whatever equivalent of YellowPages still...

Comcast at least has Smart Resume so when I hit the fast forward button a couple times it auto plays when the commercials are over.

Darkest Tales is also out. Don’t have a Steam link on my phone. Teddy Bear fantasy “Metroidvania.” I only put about an hour in to it last night. Will have to overlook the voice acting as it just feels off. Not bad but kind of bad. Not quite mixed right or not the right tone. Just off. It’ll...

I exclusively use controller and think it works great. The only issue with controller (that could be addressable I just have no idea) is that you can't mouseover skills and stats for the pop-up details. Maybe you can and I just never tried it, will have to take a look. Regarding cornering, not...

I was going to make a comment about this in my post because the same concept occurred to me while watching. It is a combination of all that though. She’s a terrible actress / acted terribly based on what she was given, not visually appealing (it’s okay to have svelte gays romping around but god...

Monster House - 4/10 as an adult and 1/10 for a 5 year old. I thought this was terrible. The mocap didn’t age well, none of the characters were good, it was overly loud, and the story was abysmal. A dude meets a fat special ed carnival freak, steals her, she dies and turns in to a house? As far...

I think that’s an eventual long term solution if we stay here long enough. Previously it was twin boys’ room so the overhead or night stand light would have been enough. They probably didn’t intend to have a desk up against it. Will try to snap a picture tomorrow. I like the corner LED thing...

@Lanx have you used anything like this before? My office desk is against a wall where the ceiling comes down and the only source of light is an overhead fan that is in the center of the room. There's just not enough light in this room especially at this desk where my two personal monitors are...

No, probably not a bad thing to have around. Tiger wood, Zebra wood, Cherry, Walnut, assorted casters, drawer slides, a whole shelf of epoxies, wood glues, rope, paracord, marking string, clamps, threaded rods, tow straps, recovery straps, tie downs. No baling wire.

I still remember reading Imajica when I was 14 and not understanding WTF was going on. That would be an interesting one to revisit.

Corner suggestion worked out great. First run with the bomber guy and first time doing Caves of Dhal Zhog and it was almost possible to AFK in a corner and just watch the screen blow up around me. Just had bombs and bombs raining from the heavens.

It's fine. I was in a shitty mood because had a third round of spine injection today and can barely move my right arm or breathe without my neck and back hurting. It was me reading too much in to your post and projecting. I'll give an overly long response to make up for my injustice. I'm sure...
