Having refreshed my memory on the process I should have Mohg dead by tonight. If you are at the start of a new playthrough with an NG+ toon, you can probably be ready to go for the DLC in like 3-4 hours (less if you're actually gud) if that's all you dedicate your time to. It's really not bad...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm on Series X, as this is squarely a "pop my tired ass on the basement couch after the rest of the house is asleep and not bothering me" game.

Slightly preferable to pride month in SF. Will employ lube appropriately.

I was attempting to hack through it by memory (and enjoying myself), but after looking up the two options in full, neither are all that bad. I'll probably just do the longer one and open up more of the map for the fuck of it. Either way a fresh NG isn't really in the cards unless I want to start...

I haven't played this in nearly two years. Logged in to try to break the rust loose in advance of the expansion and found that I had only a NG+ character about an hour into a replay. I've been tearing my way through the shit needed to gain access to Mohg, and even being high level and fully...

I'm indefensibly tolerant of most Star Wars. I can generally pick up on some enjoyable aspect of these dumb shows/movies and ride out the bad (there's been a lot of riding). But this show....is just terrible in nearly all aspects. It's the first live action Star Wars show since the Holiday...

The show didn't have the rights to the "Annatar" character in S1 so they cooked up some strained shit about Sauron explaining alloys to millennia-old Elven smiths who have steel everywhere and then after a 30 second montage, they're sporting their three new rings. I guess they've since grabbed...

I have no idea how many of each are possible, but over a playthrough I had 2 bros approach me for possible dick smashing. I rapidly requested that they keep it in their pants and that was the end of it. Unless I missed an entire section involving a sweaty Top Gun volleyball encampment, that shit...

And it's been annoying for years. Rockstar is especially egregious. GTA 5 console release: September, 2013. PC release: April, 2015. Of course, the games are typically awesome enough to enjoy for two playthroughs, but now that I'm old and have kids, fuck a bunch of double-dipping.

Not if you want it to look anywhere near as good as the trailer. For that you'll need a high-end computer, and probably yet another year or more for it to release on PC. Ugh. Anyway, if this trailer had released 5 years ago (with graphics appropriately scaled back to that time), we'd be on page...

Oof. The show had been coasting off the fumes of its prior brilliance for a while by that point, and I was still half-heartedly hanging in there out of some combination of habit and loyalty, but I explicitly remember watching that episode when it premiered and saying "Whelp, that's it. I'm...

It was all but over when Marsh walked and loaded the bases with two outs, and Thomson let Rojas take the plate. That'll go down as one of the all-time dipshit post-season calls. Wild how the Philly offense jumped on the plane out of Arizona with 18 innings at home in their pocket, and instead...

And not even from birth. He converted.

It's just a variation of an overused TV trope that's long outlived its entertainment value. Nowadays when I see it, it immediately reminds me of GoT when the dead army attacked Winterfell. They showed shot after shot of this terrifying, impossibly energized meat grinder of an army that would...

I tried giving Rebels a chance after the first few episodes of this and while the show itself is actually not too bad and seems watchable from a story / character perspective, I just can't hang in there with the animation piece. I have way too much shit to do and motivating myself to push aside...

At 4K and cranked settings I'd recommend biting the bullet and going for the 4090. To make it less painful, you could save a few bucks on the CPU by getting a 13700K. The 13900K offers basically dick all benefits for gaming. I had the 4080 for a short bit and while it's a beast of a card, I...

I rolled up a new game on the PC despite having virtually zero desire to kick my many hours of Series X progress into the garbage, but fuck it. I didn't lay out a mortgage payment for this stupid 4090 for nothing. After a short run through the introductory stuff, regrets are rapidly fading. The...

I took it as a test for Pullo and his blonde meth-head apprentice. If they returned with Ezra and Sabine's heads, Thrawn will be in a position to trust them and incorporate them into his "dwindling" ranks. If they fail, oh well - they can kill each other or stay stranded there until they rot. Of...

Blew off work for a bit and watched it. Loved the Chimaera introduction along with the creepy semi-decrepit stormtrooper crew. I think Thrawn's uniform was more over-starched and not so much attempting to cover up a gut. It looks like they're maintaining Thrawn as heavily strategic and a...

I haven't seen the episode but Lars Mikkelsen usually looks emaciated. Did they give him a gut intentionally?

This is probably a dumb question that the answer to is no, but...I recently rejoined the PC master race and it'd be great if I could jump back into the game from my PC without having to A) rebuy it for the PC (I originally purchased it for the Series X) and B) start over. Is there any way to...

Pretty much. CP is built around FPS mechanics and GTA is built around driving mechanics (neither are at the top of the pile in either category). Once you open up the map in GTA, you can go practically anywhere and unleash mayhem to your black heart's content. CP is much more...

Star Wars without impressive pew pews (as well as John Williams) would have been forgotten about by 1978.

Got caught up on this over the weekend and just watched the new one during lunch. Maybe my brain has been slowly rotted as a result of it absorbing an abundance of shitty Star Wars over the past couple of decades (or maybe a few of you are just tryhard cunts) but I'm enjoying this. However, the...

The kids were dispatched to their grandparents this weekend and I finally had a few hours to put into this. To this point it's been the standard Bethesda mix of feeling wider than it is deep, side quests that are (so far) much more interesting than the main story, an unoptimized engine that...

Afterburner, followed by Superposition (8K benchmark) to check for artifacts / crashes.

I finally put together a new PC after 8+ years with my prior setup and jumped from a 27" 1080p monitor to a 42" LG C3 OLED. I started off with a 4080, and while it was extremely impressive, it struggled a bit with maintaining high FPS in certain games at max settings. If I'm spending 4 figures...

I got tired of waiting for a decent glossy-screen 4K monitor somewhere around 32" to hit the market, so fuck you...I'll just YOLO all the things. I built a new PC for the first time in 8+ years and dropped a 42" LG C3 on my desk a couple weeks ago. I was worried that it would be comically large...

I haven't watched the cartoons, I'm mainly in this for Thrawn. If they're just going to continue to tease out the big reveal (which they started way back in Mando s2) until the end of the season, I'll just wait until I can burn through them all over a couple evenings. PLMK if he shows up sooner.

Chris Christy is debate ready.

Like many pioneering works, it's become tarnished by its own advancement of the medium. Watching it for the first time now is sort of like being introduced to The Matrix after practically everyfuckingbody borrowed from/stole from/parodied/satirized it. Despite that, it's worth hanging in there...

Yeah, this is the first Street Fighter game I've bought in decades. I succumbed to all of the "PERFECT GAME!" hype and was looking forward to it. The actual fighting mechanics / matches are definitely fun and satisfying. The world tour mode was weird at first but I'm enjoying it now. However, I...

I finally got caught up and for the first time in decades I actually can't wait for the next episode of a Star Trek show to release. In addition to what has already been said by others, a lot of the smaller details are also really well done. The sound design is fantastic. The dialogue and...

I spent the better part of a year slogging my way through season 2. I finally made it to the end of that mess a few days ago and as soon as the finale ended I went right into season 3 as a hopeful palette cleanser. I ended up binging most of it over the weekend. Sure, it's not perfect, but holy...

That looks pretty good but trailers gonna trailer. I haven't watched any of the cartoons. I've tried over the years but I just can't sit through them. Is cartoon Thrawn significantly different from the character in the old Zahn books that Disney set fire to or did they basically copy / paste...

Strange New Worlds is actually quite decent and probably the best ST show since DS9 (I haven't watched a minute of Discovery). I've been attempting to get through Picard S2 for like 3 months...it's brutal. Patrick Stewart doesn't even seem to know what the fuck he's doing in it. He deserves a...

Well that could be the point. If I'm two decades into the apocalypse and bump into some lardass, either they have exceptional survival skills so I'm going to try to make friends with them or they're a cannibal so I'm going to try to make friends with them.

Related to that, I wonder if resuming the game soon would be more of a mindfuck for the Bengals than the Bills...taking to the field again to battle the same guys whose teammate one of your bros just sent into possibly a vegetative state or worse, which has the attention and focus of virtually...

Yeah, that's what his uncle mentioned. If that's the case and he pulls through, a big concern is going to be around potential brain damage. A lot of that tends to depend on how much time passed between the cardiac event and when they hit him with the AED. Hopefully it was a short window.
