    Hogwarts Legacy

    I thought it was obvious the oggaboogas didn't use wands because they haven't evolved to simple stick tools yet. I mean chimps use sticks no prob but Ugandans are still working on it.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I guess I count as one of those 100k. Had him muted low res in background while downloading to get the twitch loot since he was first suggested stream on loot page. Hate the game not the player.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Screenshots don't do the dark arts robe justice. If you're role playing a good wizard it probably isn't the right look but it's a good looking robe.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    For me the worst part of the season is the step from 2 piece Haedrig's to a full set. Once you get 6 piece of anything you can faceroll at least T6 which allows you to farm with moderate reward. As a result I tend to look for a class that has a smoother power curve given the season Haedrig's...

    Chiefs better hope for a Sunday game. Trevor is undefeated all time on Saturdays.

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    You don't really need to know anything about season 2 for this season. Other than Jack and Greer, I think the only character returning from season 2 is Mike November and you know all you need to know about him within 15 seconds. In fact the only other character I recognized at all was the...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Unless I did something wrong, endgame and prestige are separate things. Every time you win a map on a difficulty you unlock the next higher difficulty; so in theory you could prestige 20 on your ~23 map. The tech tree just makes things easier and honestly I think it could use some rework...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    I was entertained. Visually stunning (2d showing) and good action. Some parts felt like almost direct reshoots from the original (sully vs black panther and sully kid vs shark) but overall it was different enough that i didn't feel like i was watching Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves yet again...

    The Amazing Race

    I have a feeling the chartered all-together air travel between legs will be a permanent thing going forward. They were probably already doing that with their production teams anyway. While I agree, seeing teams overcome travel hiccups was a good part of the game I also didn't like early...

    Thanks. Was bugging me where I'd seen the scrawny ISB double agent Toptunov before.

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    There's a reason the trading post is so cheap and always available. Sometimes you have to trade for what you need for unfillable orders. This is especially true on higher difficulties when negative modifiers remove your ability to choose orders. I try to put packs of provisions pretty early in...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Still learning the mechanics and whatnot, but on the topic of "permanent" colonies, is there any benefit to staying on a map and clearing all glades and whatnot? On first glance it doesn't seem like you get any extra city resources or xp but maybe I'm missing something. Has anyone advanced...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Yea, I'm enjoying the "rogue-like" aspects. Beyond lumber, a couple houses, and maybe the workshop there's no sense in preplanning any build order. You have to take what the map and available blueprints gives you. I agree that it's a good combination of stress and relaxing since you can't...

    Zero replayability but that doesn't stop me from a speed run every year.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Out of curiosity, I wonder what the contracts for all sideline workers state. Would actually be surprised if arbitration wasn't written in for things like this. Criminal assault is one thing but I'd bet getting anything other than lawyer bills paid in civil court is a long shot.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Dumb ass move to shove the guy, but equally dumb ass move to step in front of a guy paid for violence moments after a loss. If that guy continues working football I'd be tempted to run an out route right at him.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    CGI board ads get a big thumbs down from me. Cool tech i guess that it doesn't pick up white unis but looks unnatural. And another year of fuck Leah Hextall.

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Yeah, there's some arbitrary game duration that people seem to use to call things "roguelike." If someone came out with a new chess simulator I'm sure someone somewhere would call it a stylized roguelike strategy game. No, it's just a fucking game with replayability and a short session...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    90% damage buff +85% if they're wearing oculus ring for the other 3 not counting their pulling and defensive utility. zBarb +3 would probably out dps a 6 dps group if you could go that high.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Logged off last night at paragon 652. So far 1 season essence (which rolled the barb wrath of the berserker), 3 echoing nightmare keys, and zero socket cubes. Socket cube drop rate I'm used to but it sucks to essentially not experience the season because I can't get the new mechanic to drop...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Fuck you guys getting enough drops to sanctify puzzle rings. True to form I got my first essence around para 400, got the shitty barb affix, and haven't gotten another just crossing over para 600.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    What's the projected crucible drop rate? If they're like the socket cubes I'll get my first one at around paragon 500 and finish the season and quit before seeing a second.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    While I agree with you, I think you're forgetting the end of Infinity War. Ending the movie on the snap certainly let the tragedy "breathe." Even the Fury "Oh Shit" post credits was serious enough to not distract from the heaviness. To this day that's still as silent as I've ever heard a movie...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    Not that any of the ladies in this movie were worth showing off, but of course the only one getting even close to naked was Thor, who gets the full monty. Imagine if Zeus stripped one of the females naked and all the dudes in his court started fanning themselves, blushing, and pointing...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    One thing that was kind of off putting for me was Jane's humor and tone. It's been a while since I've seen Thor 1 or 2 but I remember Jane being much more serious to go along with the overall pre-ragnarok tone. They tried to ragnarok'ify Jane too much, which combined with her fighting cancer...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    The kids father is a tough question. We see ultron type robots in 838 which presumably means Stark's ultron project worked. That removes the whole reason for Vision coming into existence in the first place. My main problem with all this phase 4 stuff is that we've come to expect MCU movies to...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    To go along with calling them 5th gen rather than Felons I think it better describes the massive capability leap 5th Gen has over even fully upgraded 4th gen stuff. Calling it 5th gen lets the average viewer know "this is cutting edge shit." People outside the industry don't understand how...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    While I agree the movies never really explain it, I think it falls in the generic "flying" that a lot of super heroes do where they can telekinesis either themselves or stuff to stand on. Could Ebony Maw or Magneto fly, or do they just telekinesis stuff that supports their weight? Would...

    Chernobyl

    If you liked this you'll like the new HBO documentary Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes. 90 minutes of actual soviet footage from the incident. Shows guys getting sick in hospital #6, lots of footage of the liquidators, even shows the real Lyudmilla on her first trip back to Pripyat. Pretty good...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Nichushkin had the kind of postseason UFAs dream of. It will be hard for the Avs to keep him with second line money. Similarly Kadri's regular season and his improved attitude should get him better than 2nd line offers. I would expect the Avs to try and keep one of the two. I think they'll try...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Another thing I personally like is long stretches of play. The announcers even commented about it with 7+ minutes without a whistle. That's on both teams so props to TB as well for letting me watch the kind of hockey I like best.
