    Black 47. Pretty decent revenge flick during the Irish Potato famine. I am a fan of Hugo Weaving so had to watch. 7/10. White Chamber - 0/10. I made it maybe 15 minutes in but the social commentary about racism in the UK and other progressive bullshit that started "the war" was just too...

    Neither were Netflix-made movies so moved to other thread.

    Path of Exile

    <open can of worms.gif> It is a "discussion" that has been ongoing since trade was forum listing and dropping stuff on the ground in The Coast and a third party stepped in to try and improve the activity. The original "Trade Manifesto" (puke) made it muddily clear that Chris Wilson thinks...

    The Fanatic (2019)

    So, based on the last page or so, this movie is just a gold mine for memes. You KNOW it was not made that way, but it sure is ending up there. At this rate it is going to be a fucking underground classic. Lots of lulz being had, at least.

    Hustlers (2019)

    Ell-o-Ell the majority of people on this forum are, without question, the last demographic this movie is targeted towards. I am interested if the demographic it IS oriented towards puts out sufficient entertainment capital to sustain this type of movie. I guess "going to a movie" is largely...

    Path of Exile

    I actually resemble this. I am level 88, and my tool-tip DPS caps out at around 90 k with everything running. I am pretty much 100% on blight IN maps unless you get one of those branches that spawns on top of the pump before you take note of it, which happens to me occasionally. But Blight...

    Borderlands 3

    If you think this is not prevalent in a swathe of industries, you are wrong. Early on in my career I sold my soul, sweat, blood and tears to a small oil and gas company - worked intense 7 day weeks, 12+ hour days, on call 24/7, to help set it all up for great things and create the groundwork...

    Borderlands 3

    Hence my point on the continued employment in a failure state. I understand it reflects on them, and everyone wants something in which they have a hand to succeed. That is the tightrope we walk here - how to punish the idiotic figureheads and SJW taint while still rewarding the everyman...

    Borderlands 3

    The problem here is that the financial success, and the accolades earned therein, generally goes directly to the shitheels,,,,,,,,and the artists and programmers don't get shit. They also rarely get any kind of recognition or exposure. And continued financial success enables the shitheels and...

    Path of Exile

    What the.......... Am I crazy but wasn't it supposed to be far more imminent than that? I was actually thinking this X'mas but the fact that we are 3.8 clearly that was dumb. But more like April 2020 seemed likely. That is a UGE push. How are they going to bridge this gap? Shit I hope it...

    Path of Exile

    They are [.........] close to understanding the MTX market, but that remaining gap really gets them in trouble by times. This was a fucking stupid idea without guarantee of no dupes. Shit they should have included some sort of lower chance of dupe algorithms in their stupid boxes after all I...

    Joker (2019)

    Out of all the commentary I connect the most with this last statement. I am not a comic guy, I was more Conan and WWII comics in the 70s and 80s than superheroes. But I still follow casually and enjoy the movie genre. I think the Joker as a primal force of Chaos ala The Dark Knight trilogy is...

    Cyclone, or melee in general? I have a necromancer waiting in the wings, just wanted to try it. Like doing Legion with a Cleave build.

    Path of Exile

    Okay so I just did my first Blighted map, a T4 Lookout, and objectively it may have been the worst experience I have ever had playing PoE. I believe my first several experiences in the lab have been buried deep enough that I no longer remember them, so take that for what it is worth. In...

    Path of Exile

    Just to update my previous post - cyclone DOES get better with level (as a reply stated). Also relevant decent weapon, but the gem level is key. Plus some additional skill points in Duelist/Marauder AOE range points that I THINK are new to the area? I know I didn't have them in my build last...

    Greedfall -- Colonizers vs Magic Injuns

    I haven't logged onto Steam, but yeah the "An Item on your Steam Wishlist" e-mail says 64.99 (Canadian, I reiterate).

    Greedfall -- Colonizers vs Magic Injuns

    Huh, apparently I have this on my wishlist because I got the release announcement on e-mail. I have to say it looks intriguing but the $65 Can price tag requires a wait for me. I despise all this social commentary in gaming - fuck off my hobby you rejects. Sure, colonialism, with summoned...

    Underrail: Expedition

    I love how SSethTzeentach does a review and the game shoots to the top of the Steam sales chart. That guy has serious influence. He got me on Starsector. I also love his reviews. The one on that multiplayer space station sim had me in stitches.

    The Fanatic (2019)

    Okay, put aside the fact that Travolta has entered the Nicolas Cage era of his career. So he plays this character as some Asbergers/Autistic obsessed maniac who pushes it too far? Certainly paves the way for diversity and inclusion and understanding of mental illness. Should we boycott him...

    Path of Exile

    Cyclone feels like garbage in early levels. Not very far in yet, but the change is pretty striking. That is all. Also, I hate summoners, but necros are hilarious at the moment! I prefer to use a life/armor dude to do all the stupid lab stuff first so I will see how cyclone works as the gem...

    The Painted Bird (2019)

    Can you be a little more coherent, because this is rambling and confusing as fuck. I am unsure why you are in knots over people criticizing the author for making bank on lies about his travails during WWII, but I am genuinely interested in your viewpoint. I don't think anyone resents him for...

    The Painted Bird (2019)

    The cast is certainly significant. But if it has a bunch of terrible shit happening to animals and a young boy, I will simply skip this. Too sensitive to that shit in my dotage to appreciate it as any sort of "art".

    One of my favorite movies of all time - in a "that's horrible" amazing kind of way. The scene in the cab is amaze-balls. I watched "Killing of a Sacred Deer" last night, and although the performances were top notch I thought the movie was just slightly too slow paced to keep my attention. The...

    Conan Exiles

    I recently put about 130 hours into it duo'ing with a pal on a low pop PvE server over about 2 months. I enjoyed the entire progression, the crafting, the capturing and use of thralls, the various "boss' fights, etc. The lore was decent, the various locations and their history. The gear was...

    Path of Exile

    I am in the same boat. My only summoner build was SRS which is more like a delayed-attack ranged skill. My only miner was Arc Miner when that was actually meta. I did not like either much. I may try a more conventional skelly/zombie build just to see the new stuff but def not as primary. I...

    Joker (2019)

    Soooooooo......based on those hilarious tweets (along side the usual "it's all so tiresome"), the fact that he is white trumps (pun intended) mental illness on the virtue stack for the theme of criticism of this movie? I mirror the comment that if the main character was anything but white these...

    Terminator (2019)

    I watched that trailer, sighed out loud and, in my head, said to myself "Well, shit, I guess I am going to watch this at some point and be at least mildly entertained, just like all the rest since T2. Just like Alien Covenant and Prometheus. But I am still disappointed."

    Dune (2020)

    Okay they were clear I am currently over half way through book 2 and Paul has complete regret that the Jihad is being done in his name. The book spends a lot of time emphasizing Paul's incredible powers in direct opposition to his impotence with respect to the Jihad and the masses worship of...

    The Netflix Thread

    I watched a bunch of this over lunch today and the bit he did on Louis CK blowing his load on his stomach had me actually crying at my desk. I give Netflix grudging kudos for this special, because it was clearly one of the first things in recent memory put up that has any kind of...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    I added this to my bottomless unplayed game list in Steam as well, sight unseen, purely based on reviews and the feel that it has shades of Starsector and Darkest Dungeon. Will try out this weekend. Still haven't been able to come to grips with Starsector yet. I hate getting older, my...

    Dune (2020)

    Man Joel Edgerton has his dick in everything of late. He co-wrote that too. Also, as an aside, that kid needs to stop missing leg day. If he's supposed to be Muad'dib (is he?) he needs some meat. I just started Book 2. I've been away from the series for a while, and away from Sci-Fi for...

    Ditto. Handsome hoverboard (Edit - rocket boots, right) wolf-alien warrior though. COME ON. TOO GOOD TO FAIL. I want to know what part of the Wachowski's transition this disaster of a movie speaks to? Cloud Atlas was a pretentious, convoluted mess as well. Hated it like disease - there...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Okay, as 50-ish year old, this franchise is, of course, special to me. My thoughts echo all that was said on the last several pages, and well really, for the last couple of decades. But I would still watch and enjoy if they could just find it in themselves to make A GOOD FUCKING MOVIE. It is...

    So I'm done with this league now - I deleted my level 80 ED/Contagion character to preserve slots. Kept the King Cyclone guy though, of course. So I moved on last night to load up Last Epoch, and what is the first thing I did? Created a cyclone-equivalent character. BWahahahahahaha. I have...

    lol truth - they are basically turning minions into ranged attack build clear speed/effectiveness. And here we sit with melee changes being Cyclone or GTFO and stick your multistrike up your bunghole. But, moving on, nothing to see here. Seriously, if they nerf the shit out of Cyclone (and I...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    Yeah, hate on it if you want, but there is no question that the first movie is truly iconic. You can really tell how iconic by the extent of influence it had on later movies with the bullet-time, slo-mo fighting stuff. Keanu was so bad he was good, how can we not love that guy? I was going to...

    The Endless is that low budget sci-fi indie gem that makes Netflix/any extensive movie database worthwhile - then you realize you have seen them all and only shit remains. Great concept incredibly well done, and I have not yet seen the aforementioned sister movie which centers on the two guys...

    I agree with almost all of this. However, I have a couple of games calling my name (Outward, KingdomCome Deliverance, Last Epoch to name a few, and maybe Remnant now) so I am thinking I do another game starting this week and by the time I am done the new League will be a couple weeks in and I...
