    Car ?'s

    Depends on what you want to spend and what you want the profile to be. The top of the line cameras use capacitors instead of an internal battery (batteries can cause issues in high heat summers) or they use a remote SSD and battery, to keep it cooler mounted out of the sun. You can also get...

    Total War: Warhammer

    With Chaos (divided), I wasn't expecting Ogres to be in the base game once they announced Cathay. Are they considering Chaos just 1 faction, even if they have all different units? So instead of Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Kislev, and Cathay for a total of 6 factions (2 more than the...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Funny enough, this is a factual statement. Windmills and waterwheels allowed one tool to do the work of a 100 men, which in turn allowed more flour to be used to feed armies, not slaves/serfs. The society (Europe) that had widespread adoption of these tools saw a significant increase in their...

    Wheel of Time

    Wat?! The Beastmen look perfect for the upcoming crossover with Masters of the Universe, in season 2. Kevin Smith can be brought in to kick it up a notch!

    The Video Thread

    Sure, most streamers are just as bad as anything the Kardashians put out, but I often wonder how much is just selection bias. Before "modern" society, there were still plenty of people doing plenty of stupid shit. PT Barnum made a fortune off of this type of behavior. As long as production as a...

    Dune (2020)

    You can find growers that will sell frozen fruit and mail them too you in a cold pack. That is purportedly the best way to get them. You cut them up into small slices and let them sit on your tongue. They always sounded interesting, but never tried one. They are supposed to do a bunch of neat...

    The Video Thread

    Wat? You think people before the internet were magically productive with all their time?! In the cities they sat around on their porches watching the Car/horses go by. Out in the country they sat around the table playing solitaire or cracking walnuts/pecans while waiting for the corn to grow...

    The Expanse

    When I rewatched season 5 a few months ago, I just fast forward almost every Naomi part and it improved the quality of the season immensely. It seemed like more on the first watch, but it was only about 15% of the season (maybe?). I didn't mind the Marco stuff, even if Philip is a bit annoying.

    Dune (2020)

    If you already have HBO, you could gift a month to a few people. I don't know if you can use paypal, but you should be able to use the 1 time credit card "gift cards." Sign someone up using their email account, then immediately cancel, for a 30 day gift and a small bump for Dune. The HBO Max...

    Dune (2020)

    I only have layman's knowledge of the subject and it gets far too dry and complicated to spend too much time on it. So, here is Astrophysicist Matt O'Dowd talking about it, time stamped to 7:58, where he briefly talks about the uncertainty principle. As always, theoretical Physics is an...

    Dune (2020)

    Does HBO have a "reason for canceling" box when you end a sub? I am going to sub for a month or three and want to put "here for Dune and Curb" as a reason. I forgot if I saw one after I canceled when Chernobyl was over.

    Dune (2020)

    This is true, in a way (according to particle physics). If you knew where every particle in the universe was, you could predict the future and know the past with 100% accuracy. Conservation of information means all that data is out there still. All you need is a computer the size of the...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Angel Oracle (Battle w/ reach wep) for the first half the game. At around level 10, I respeced to caster Angel Cleric with a mount when I saw the Angel nuke was hitting everything for 200+. Angel is rather tedious with the buffs, but the party/pets were crazy strong as long as they didn't get...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    I had a small amount of hope that Paradox could pull off some kind of miracle with this game, when it was in early development, but all hope disappeared when they fired MCA. So now this is more like a watch the train wreck thread (like star citizen) than anyone thinking something good will come...

    Injustice (2021)

    No Mark Hamel as Joker and no Keven Conroy as the Bats, automatic negative 1 deduction. No Martian Manhunter either, which is another negative 1 point deduction. So, a solid 5/10 it is then.

    Seems inevitable once they announced this fucked up release schedule and streaming on HBO. 1080 Webrip got leaked early.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    TLDR: Paradox gave this game to a new studio, but came close to just shitcanning the whole project. Same as above (source): Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Hasn't Been Cancelled... Yet

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Until last patch, gold dragon maybe one of the weaker paths (or just one of the most bugged); so the meta gamers don't seem to be making builds for them yet. That said, from what I saw, Gold Dragon is all about stats and talents, so it looks like the best synergy is a talent heavy melee...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    New EA patch. Added the Sorcerer and a new location to act 1. They are committed to adding all 12 core classes, so still need Barb, Bard, Pal, and Monk. Sounds like they will be lucky to get a full release out in 2022. Patch overview...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Summons and touch attacks are the standard tactic for all the "skippable" extreme bosses. Lots and lots of summons. I had my melee guys just sit in a corner with bows equiped (wiffing every shot, but out of danger...mostly) while my main guy nuked with the Angel spell that hits everything...

    Yarr, I looked for streaming and all I could find was YouTube, so just downloaded it. If Netflix or Prime pick it up, I will rewatch it through them.

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    Currently not enough evidence to support such claim, but looking for archaeological evidence so far back in time is like looking for a needle in the ocean. So far all humans in the ancient Americas are classified as the Clovis people, and said to be closely related to modern first nation...

    Old Henry (2021)

    Watched this last night and agree with everyone so far. It was pretty good and casting was spot on. I would say it's the best movie of 2021, but its the only movie from 2021 I have seen... It's a mix of the old Drama Westerns and Action movies. While trying to think of similar movies, the best...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    You can do a second line (reach) melee Cleric Crusader or Battle Oracle using a Longspear, Glave, or Fauchard. It is how I started and good for the early game. Eventually though, I was casting the whole time because Angel nukes with a bunch of extra caster levels are that good. If you go...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Ultima games are weird, I loved Ultima 7 and 7.2 as a kid (even thought 8 was decent), but when I tried to go back and replay them, I found it too simple, and lost interest about half way. It may be due to still remembering 70%+ of the world and story, and the most enjoyable part of those games...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    For BG 1 & 2, you can use a mod to make them into one single mega game using the BG2 engine and UI. Unless you are a purist and want to experience each one as they were, I think you gain more than you lose. This installer program makes merging the two Enhanced Editions a breeze, just ignore...

    Yea, Samy Kamkar has a more technical presentation on this man in the middle type attack (video below (also in the link from previous post:emoji_nose:.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Does Tolkien say that the hobbits are all one skin color, or is it just the movies? If it is from Tolkien, that would mean, to keep it lore friendly, the hobbits had a spat of ethnic cleansing in the second age, leading to all white Hobbitszs in the Third.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Wish I could understand what they were saying, but it still shows the device, and the thieves putting it to use. That looks like a professional OBD II tool and it looks like that car they broke into had two OBD ports, or there are two similar ports right next to each other. Every car I have...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Car thieves in England use a device to unlock and start keyless entry Mitsubishi Outlanders. Have read rumors of these devices for 10+ years now, but never seen any proof of them actually working. One theory on a more universal unlocker, 6+ years ago, was that it could find the cars keyfob...

    So they could go on Twitter/Tumblr/Polygon to tell everyone they went and how much they suffered through such a horrible person's show. I also wouldn't be surprised if they were hired as some kind of "critic" for a major website like NYT. Those seats weren't cheap.

    Yea, that was a great part of the show; every time they pan to the front of the audience, there are these two 'purple' hairs making that face. Wonder what Dave was thinking, having to look at those sour mugs all show.

    I thought this special, while not as good as the others, was still decent enough to be in the same ball park. Dave defiantly hides behind his race card so he can take swings at the newly minted, and more important to the left coasts, Tranny card. This special seemed to focus on hitting back...
