    What We Do in the Shadows

    Kind of a weak episode. Laszlo and Colin being the highlights again.

    And yet, all of their actions so far seem to almost guarantee failure.

    They should just be in the public domain at this point.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I enjoyed that. Can't wait for parts two and three. They should do more of "watch every movie by" as a series.

    They're getting pretty skewered for this. Something that should've been obvious to anyone who's ever played an MMO period, but somehow Amazon just didn't plan for it? And it's worse than just character names, as company names are global too. So people are going to be slamming the shit out of...

    It would be dumb. But it's how the betas worked. The fact that Amazon can't get their shit together to address it has me worried. They've done really poorly with managing the community.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Yeah, the price on this is baffling to me. It's a 21 year old game. Diablo 3 is almost a decade old at this point. $40 for updated graphics? Fuck off.

    Yep, just saw the confirmation, names are global. Like I said, this was a stupid fucking decision. Staggering releases is just going to make the first ones that come up get absolutely fucking destroyed. Had they done all regions at the same time this would be avoided.

    I honestly don't know how it works, but I had a bitch of a time finding a name that worked in both betas. Is it all one system? By region? By cluster? By server? Who the fuck knows! Based on my own difficulty though, I feel like it's much bigger than it should be.

    That seems like a shit idea. People are going to slam the shit out of the servers that open first. Also going to fuck anyone hoping to reserve a name that doesn't grab it on the EU server first (and then delete it).

    What If...?

    Except the scene where he tells Jane that it was actually a meteor, was going to explode anyway, and everyone made it safely home. Doesn't help that SHIELD didn't have that information, so their entire motivation was Nick Fury.

    What If...?

    This episode was fucking retarded, only because the SHIELD/Captain Marvel motivation makes absolutely no sense. "We've gotta stop this guy from partying because...fuck partying?" Seriously, I have no idea. They said they needed to nuke part of the planet as some sort of revenge for accidentally...

    Looks like I'm probably not going to find a re-entry point with PLTR. Might be time to just cash out my "play" money.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

    Yeah, Harry Potter World is fucking cool. That said, the one ride my wife got super bad motion sickness from. I thought it was awesome (I kept saying "wow" during it), but the 2nd time, I got motion sick pretty bad too. All the projections really fuck with you.

    Survivor

    Wow, really? That's sad. If it's anything like Big Brother, they'll make a blacks only alliance and vote out everyone else, and no one will claim racism because that'd be racist.

    What If...?

    I just finally watched last week's, and I couldn't even enjoy the beginning because they fucked up Killmonger's uniform so bad I was just distracted. He's supposed to be a Lieutenant in the SEALs, and this is his uniform. He's a god damn 4 star Admiral, and looks to be either a Surface Warfare...

    Yeah, after Big Brother, I'm done with CBS. I love Survivor, too, so it's a shame. But I'm not going to willingly watch them preach to me.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

    Never read this thread to see what the consensus was, but my wife and I made it 13 minutes into this (thanks Plex!) before we said fuck it. I remember enjoying the first one, but there was something about this one that was apparently extremely off-putting.

    Only went back a few pages, but what state are you buying in? Shit still seems insane here in Florida. I've been on Zillow since June just watching the market and thought it had been slowing down. Nope, what actually was happening was my maximum dollar price I had been using was too low (and I...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    Looks like the majority of the quakes in PNG are off the coast, but more importantly, like 50 to 200km deep. Which makes them feel very different than a land based one 10km down. It also depends on the direction the earthquake "rips." The energy gets directed mostly in one direction (it radiates...

    It was a pretty shallow movie. Great visuals, incredibly bland story.

    Haven't we been in a non stop everything rally? A 5% drop isn't really what I'd call a correction that leads to this thing taking back off.

    Speaking of Pixar content, I really enjoyed Dug Days. Helps that Dug looks a lot like our dog that passed away earlier this year. Was only 5 shorts, but they were enjoyable.

    It's not unexpected, but now that we're not putting money away anymore, it's a lot more noticeable. Today at one point we were down close to 9 months of yearly expenses. Retirement is going to be stressful. I'll probably check out of this thread for good in a month.

    The Other Two

    It'd be seen as super offensive now, but I was watching a tabletop type interview from I think 2007 or 2009 from The Office cast, and Oscar Nunez was talking about when they decided his character would be gay. "I was just playing him as 'normal' so nothing changed." For some reason Hollywood...

    Found this super interesting about the housing market. It doesn't really provide any conclusions, but it's a good eye opener (at least for me) about how housing has gotten out of control. Now, it's highly localized to California (and really, San Francisco), but those tech workers are also...
