    The Peripheral

    I liked it. Not turning this In to a Book vs TV show thread. They long left the reservation of the book plot. Assuming that in the end it ties together more closely. @Wombat I though this would have been a really cool place to hire Thomas Jane and make him play a Miller type character and...

    The Peripheral

    I may start this tonight to see how much they changed from the book. Not that the book impressed me a whole lot but there were cool things going on. Looking forward to it either way.

    Could always do something like this to have on your shelf if you end up liking them. That’s why I was excited about the Grim Oak Press release so I could finally have a good shelf copy...

    Gotham Knights new Batman game from Warner Bros Montreal

    Wasn’t it Arkham Knights that they did the mass refund and did the game overhaul patch like 6 months later? Am I remembering that correctly? Only in that case it was a port that was fubar and not a new release?

    What did you just read?

    The Peripheral by William Gibson Not sure how to feel about this one. Read it because the show is coming out on Amazon. I liked the idea and the characters, most of the stuff they were building up with the jackpot, the tech, etc. But the whodunit felt very underwhelming, disconnected, and not...

    Scorn (FPS Horror)

    Did something happen during development that changed the direction, was it misleading previews, or did we all just misunderstand?

    Creed III (2023)

    “put his dogs on the line?” Like, literally dog fighting. Because that would be funny. Michael Vick cameo?

    Scream (1996) - Wife had never seen this and to me it is an iconic piece of film. Maybe that has more to do with coming out right around the time we (our social group) were all 15, 16, 17; but it feels like a big piece movie history. I could be overstating that but whatever. 25 years later and...

    Peacock Streaming Service On Sale

    There's a surprising amount of content we've randomly stumbled across on Peacock. I guess it is just stuff that we didn't realize NBCUniversal owned and wasn't available anywhere else. Xfinity does a good job of pointing you towards the free streaming options when you search for something...

    Darkest Tales is also out. Don’t have a Steam link on my phone. Teddy Bear fantasy “Metroidvania.” I only put about an hour in to it last night. Will have to overlook the voice acting as it just feels off. Not bad but kind of bad. Not quite mixed right or not the right tone. Just off. It’ll...

    I exclusively use controller and think it works great. The only issue with controller (that could be addressable I just have no idea) is that you can't mouseover skills and stats for the pop-up details. Maybe you can and I just never tried it, will have to take a look. Regarding cornering, not...

    I was going to make a comment about this in my post because the same concept occurred to me while watching. It is a combination of all that though. She’s a terrible actress / acted terribly based on what she was given, not visually appealing (it’s okay to have svelte gays romping around but god...

    Monster House - 4/10 as an adult and 1/10 for a 5 year old. I thought this was terrible. The mocap didn’t age well, none of the characters were good, it was overly loud, and the story was abysmal. A dude meets a fat special ed carnival freak, steals her, she dies and turns in to a house? As far...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I think that’s an eventual long term solution if we stay here long enough. Previously it was twin boys’ room so the overhead or night stand light would have been enough. They probably didn’t intend to have a desk up against it. Will try to snap a picture tomorrow. I like the corner LED thing...

    @Lanx have you used anything like this before? My office desk is against a wall where the ceiling comes down and the only source of light is an overhead fan that is in the center of the room. There's just not enough light in this room especially at this desk where my two personal monitors are...

    No, probably not a bad thing to have around. Tiger wood, Zebra wood, Cherry, Walnut, assorted casters, drawer slides, a whole shelf of epoxies, wood glues, rope, paracord, marking string, clamps, threaded rods, tow straps, recovery straps, tie downs. No baling wire.

    Corner suggestion worked out great. First run with the bomber guy and first time doing Caves of Dhal Zhog and it was almost possible to AFK in a corner and just watch the screen blow up around me. Just had bombs and bombs raining from the heavens.

    It's fine. I was in a shitty mood because had a third round of spine injection today and can barely move my right arm or breathe without my neck and back hurting.

    The all bolt run I just did was really fun and easy. I didn’t have archers but did have shadow, fire, ice, lightning, poison and very early on got the Epic cast speed and something else, maybe multi cast, that put me on path. I believe that one was 14:49 and that was mostly looking for mobs to...

    Deus - 5/10 (?). It could have been a promising and interesting Sci Fi movie but instead became lazy and generic. This is the most recent example of "How not to assemble a crew to explore space stuff." It was never going to be a Sunshine or an EH. Hard to recommend but if you have to see it just...

    I'm not sure what that's going to do? Let it gently roll off that 10" drop and continue to swing open? Is it a locking caster? I like what you're saying though. My initial idea was to just take something like that and replace the caster with a rubber foot that was spring loaded so that when it...

    Yeah, I considered that but was trying to avoid it. The previous owner put that slab of concrete right in the middle where they meet. It probably wouldn't take chipping / drilling down too much for a recess to sit the bolt. I just honestly didn't like that solution so was trying to be more...

    So far it hasn't even been so much that as it just throws so much out with no rhyme or reason with thought to gameplay. It doesn't have to be a "wave" it can be endless spawns of stuff or their own unique name but procedurally there needs to be some unifying theme or goal. Not just "spawn 1,0000...

    I’m so retarded. Was playing fetch and running with the dog in the backyard and was like “Oh let me put the latch on the gate real quick!” Never did it after finishing just had logs propped up against it and we barely open it, as stated before. Pop, pop, screw, screw. Viola latch! Wind blows...

    Yeah I felt the same about the first half of the movie. The main characters are all terrible. Joe Bob had a Hellraiser 2 episode that I watched last year, and I don’t remember wanting them to all be murdered in ways even unimaginable to the cenobites. Once the stuff started happening it was fine...

    Not sure how I feel about this one. The simplicity of Vampire and Rogue make it "stupid fun." This is fun but there's just so much going on spell effect wise all over the place, things aren't layered nicely to see stuff. Kind of being over critical about it all because it is fun and early...

    Yeah I had the same experience with cheapo drawer slides from Amazon for my Mom's end table and then used some nice "real" (for lack of better term) ones and it was night and day the sturdiness, feel of the pull, the soft close. Ridiculous to even make that statement since most times, not all...

    The poplar frame came out real nice. I couldn’t quite get my frame on the dog crate to smooth out that well and look seamless. Had a lot to do with rushing also but yours is awesome. Also like the drawer fronts. Did you use slide hardware or just wood runners?

    Dead Space

    Was it just shitty YouTube or did even parts of this remake look jittery and like crap? It is irritating when companies put out trailers and gameplay isn't 100% fluid and showing the best. I don't want the era of fully CG pre-rendered trailers, but come on, at least make the gameplay look crisp.
