    It probably heavily depends on how many more people have stuck their fingers in the pie, once it got so popular.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'd much much rather have a long winded game with decent to good writing than anything a AAA studio has produced in the last 15-20 years. If zoning out and occasionally skipping half of a conversation is the price for getting more Owlcat and Larian games, I will happily pay it. I also wouldn't...

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

    If people are getting them outside of Uber bosses, my luck must be bad then, yet good due to the item I got? The very first kill of normal Durial gave me a Harlequin Crest (the only uber I got to drop), which kept me playing, and ended up leveling a Barb and Necro to 100 (and maxed rep on a...

    Godzilla Minus One (2023)

    Knowing the name offhand, no. Seen pictures of it, yes. Back before the History Channel was aliens and reality shows they would have shows on Allied and Axis weapons still in development at the end of the war. Of course the German jets got more play but the Japanese were making various...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm hoping the mod tools will allow people to properly increase the level cap to 20, with new spells/talents and custom design the difficulty of chapter 3 to accommodate it. The spells and balance seemed like it was really the main hurdle for going past level 12 for them, in terms of programing...

    When Sven was talking about D:OS2, it was one of his goals to allow people to make thier own adventures with the mod tools. I didn't really follow that game after I finished it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed people to create their own landscapes. As for other stuff, mods have...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm 99% sure no DLC will be made. AFAIK, they are still planning on "finishing" out act 3 and maybe adding the Noble Quarter to BG. The Definitive Edition might take more than a year to complete though, unlike previous releases, which I believe were on the 1 year anniversary. Also, they are...

    Big patch with official modding tools and interface, that supports all platforms, to be released in September. Never heard of Mod.io, but according to them, it will allow console plebs to use mods too (and allow them to veto "unsavory" mods that the plebs are allowed to access, but not the PC...

    Mine was in the movie Just One of the Guys. My after school babysitter, for 4th to 6th grade, watched a handful of kids, and she chose to put that movie on for us. It wasn't great... until this part came up (no bush though):

    Holy shit it is, indeed WTF @Big Phoenix, how did you come across a cereal killer's video with less than 3000 views? While watching Police Body cam videos, the YouTube algo got me to watch the longer video of that murderer. It's slightly different than the normal Police Watch fare... Here is...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Never buy your kid a car, period. Make them work for it, and stop chauffeuring them to anything but school/sports functions. That's why my first car lasted over a year, almost two! A few close calls in that first year though, and in the first month I split a tire sidewall doing donuts in a...

    I was talking more for cars, as a PSA that it's probably marketing bullshit, so people don't mistake the spray shit for real ceramic coatings that last years. As for it's use on vehicles, it all depends on how often you use it and how long you are going to keep the car. The detailing spray...

    I gave Eastbound & Down a shot, because it was on HBO, when HBO was still putting out mostly gold, but did not find the first two episodes funny (especially compared to Entourage). Since I also like John Goodman, I gave Righteous Gemstones even more time, for around half a season, but again...

    Danny McBride isn't funny either, so maybe he just likes unfunny shit. We all have our flaws or some such.

    While I was researching ceramic coatings for my car, I read a bit about those "graphene" and "ceramic" sprays. The prevailing opinions on Autogeek were that the sprays are marketing gimmicks that work no different than other regular car detail/finish sprays (inferior protection for a base coat).

    Fallout 4

    Well, the easiest solution to get mods working is probably to pirate the build from right before the patch. I'm sure you can find it in the various places.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Depending on where you live and how you order, Prime can be worthless. You get "free" shipping on most orders over $35 w/o a Prime account and it generally arrives only 1 day later, if not at the exact same time anyway. If you are regularly ordering a bunch of small shit that would be under $35...

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

    I haven't looked real hard into how all you can get sparks. The only two I know are Wolf rep and salvaging an Uber Unique. Also, for anyone unaware, Wolf rep items seemed to drop at a fixed ilevel, or a very narrow window for ilevel, no matter the level. So you get some pretty OP items from it...

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

    Well, on the bright side, you're only 1 character away from getting a Uber Unique of your choice (if you maxed out Wolf rep). For Druid, I thought both the pulverize and machine gun wind shear were fun enough, but not much outside of rogue will be able to compete with Barb mobility if Leapquakeing.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    There is probably some product that does a great job protecting white leather seats, but you might need to spend numerous hours researching it on autogeak.com. Furthermore, I think BMW still uses higher quality pure leather, instead of the plastic coated stuff the US and some Asian automakers...

    I got "lucky" and don't have a cap, but I did see a few options out here that did. Those would be the only options if there wasn't a microwave tower in range. Still, I do get throttled, their top speed offered is 50 mbps, and my latency makes multiplayer onilne gaming unplayable half the time...

    Depending on where the closet is located you could use a IR repeater cable to send a signal into the closet, or if your AVR supports it, a 3.5mm plug repeater that plugs in directly, then mount the repeater anywhere you want/can run it that will pick up the default IR remote signal (the celling...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you are going to keep it "forever", it's worth considering if it's at a discount. I would have it inspected at a third party shop though, so they could put it up on a lift to make sure the dealer is being honest. If the dealer refuses to let you take it to a second shop on the test drive...

    Fallout 4

    When I load mods on "modern" games, I usually look on Steam workshop collections, then look at when the mod pack (collection) was updated. Since Fallout 4 can go suck eggs, I dunno how well it's setup on steam workshop. Here is an example from TW: Warhammer 3:

    This is what I have (sorta) done on my two most recent re-watches, but I stop after season 4. I don't regret watching season 5 or 6, but due to casting choices and to keep them close-ish to the source books, they couldn't come close to the first 3 seasons (which was the best Scifi made in the...
