It took about half the book or two thirds for me to get interested as well. But they grow on you and it is good stuff.

Play area all wrapped up. I’m happy. 3yd of gravel and 7yd of cedar mulch. We’ll see how it stands up, but pretty close to how I envisioned it. And no, I didn't do that shit. I started it and walked away. Landscaping isn't for me. Gave it an honest try but think I'll stick to woodworking as...

Yeah $20 is a hard pill when you look at the style and concept of the game. I had $25 in my Steam wallet and tend to value things based off how much time I think will be spent playing. In High School I worked in the campus library digital media lab (basically supporting our Mac Pros and large...

In Early Access at the moment. Think Peggle + One of the recent deck builder roguelikes. Your Baby Yoda character faces off against different enemies each board. Shooting your rocks on the peggle board bounces them around. Each peg is worth +X damage you'll do against the mob. The board has...

Let me know what route you go with the dowel jig. I’ve been looking at the Rockler one or getting in to their loose tennon system vs Festool. https://www.rockler.com/rockler-doweling-jig-kit-with-bit-and-stop-collar Task also has a nice one that I’ve considered...

Peggle Roguelike? Brb see you at 3am...

Had a little bit of time today to keep working on my writing desk project. Trying to do as "much" hand tool work as possible. From jointing to the planning of the top. Mortises will be done by hand but I'm not convinced I want to use hand tools on the rest. This has been fun but time to bring...

Alright then...

Dual (2022) - 5/10. 🤷‍♂️ I like this. It was kind of dark, but still kind of funny, in an intentional sort of way. Wouldn't call it a dark comedy. It is kind of a bait and switch? Maybe that's the point. But it is somewhat interesting. Neither Karen Gillan nor Aaron Paul are particularly great...

Yeah I was out stocking up on Iron for the night before logging off and poof! lol.

Did you read Malazan? I'm pretty sure you have but can't remember the whole history of the thread. It is a deep book and pretty big commitment. I'd say only you could answer that knowing your son's interests. Dune as a standalone book that he could compliment/supplement with the various film and...

Dark Cloud - 3/10; Wasn't bottom of the barrel terrible, it just wasn't good. Unfortunately not at all based on the video game from 2000. Really made me appreciate Tau as a much better "Evil House AI" movie genre. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8130518/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4357394/...

Season 2 recap: oh and something about buttfucking a headless corpse on the lawn, but couldn’t find a GIF.

Thanks all. I went ahead last night and ordered the Q900A from a Woot! deal for $689. I'll give some impressions next week when it shows up. Sonos looked really good for what I want and maybe if I finish of another room we can migrate over to that ecosystem. Or if the refurb Q900A shows up and...

Yeah I like the idea of being able to add the 8500 or 9500 rears, especially being wireless, if we wanted to add a bit of "something." May just go ahead and grab the Q900A tonight so it'll be here to play with this weekend. I doubt any big deals for Memorial Day will pop up (he says as a deal...

So, I think instead of replacing this Yamaha I'm just going to go the soundbar route. My living room will never be 5.1 or 7.1 or 11.2.4 or a variation thereof. It just isn't set up to support that. At most it would be 3.1 and unfortunately the options for doing a 2.1 or 3.1 channel system these...

I think they did this with Polterchrist and a Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3570334/

I hope you're happy!

Man, we had some pretty bad lightning and storms last night and this morning my Yamaha TSR-7810 won't turn on. Power light flashes about 20 times when you try to turn it on. Video passes through fine, so electrically those connections are fine. Video interrupts when the receiver is unplugged and...

Correct, the dust is a byproduct of the brick:

The Grinder / Whetstone was the 2nd instance of a "not really smooth progression" feeling. It confused me for a second but at the Altar there is a hunt for the guy that gives the recipe for the Whetstones. Just because you can see the recipe in your Forge doesn't mean you can make it. Doing the...

For me Polora wasn't that bad but the Bear boss was a huge PITA. His chase was so much faster than the cooldown on my movement skill. I ended up having to use Polora's skill so I could backtrack to the previous position and use it has a double movement.

The annoyance and aggravation of the gameplay loop far outweighs the difficulty. Personally I didn’t find it hard, per se.

Yeah the new settings seem great for stacking materials. @Chersk I agree and also don’t yet know. I can tell on my second restart it is even faster to get up and going so it makes me feel a little better. Otherwise, yeah. Seems like it is going to hurt. That’s why I started playing locally.

I'll have to get back on and do more there. Yesterday, probably due to the patching and fixes, it kept booting me for server reboot every 5 minutes.

Check out some articles on Vice (yeah, but this is from 5 - 7 years ago if not more) by Ryan Bassil. They break down Kendrick's earlier albums and tell you the story the connects the songs. And things like DAMN being told in reverse. They were really cool when I was really in to Kendrick back...

Appears so:

Will give that a shot tonight or tomorrow. There are a few quirks like that during the whole build process that make sense in retrospect, but for a newbie aren't immediately apparent. The other one was not being able to build beneath my wood coffin.

haha I know. The games tells you at some point what you need to do for a roof, but just walking in blind you're like... Uhh, a roof would be nice! At the moment I'm confused about why my workshop floors aren't providing workshop boost. All my floors are of workshop type and they're continuous...

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard too. But I’ve never played one to know a difference and this one has PvE specific goals, so maybe it is just palatable enough. I honestly can’t say. May start a new character tomorrow on a pub server and see the difference!

This is the first of the genre I've ever tried and it seems okay. Tons of stuff I'm missing or don't know the obviousness of since it is new to me, that others probably know second nature. Still not sure if I should be devoting a lot of time to this Solo PvE server / playthrough or dive in and...

That's funny because the actress is named Tatiana, but Jameela Jamil plays a character named Titania.

How is it that "Roof" is not fundamental to build as a friggin Vampire.

Do we just jump in on any server or try to Janx one?

Don't beat yourself up over the cloth. You'll get it naturally like the grapple and the luminous stone. Regarding "guessing' where it was going, there is always a trail pointing you towards the hunt you're on, so that should help a little.

I'm enjoying this less and less the further it goes on. The game loop is growing irritating chasing the mages around the map until finally being able to fight them, constantly interrupted by regular enemies, traps, other mages at the same time. Overtuned is the word I will use. It just isn't...

The first episode was good, especially when compared against recent Trek. Lays decent groundwork. As has been stated it felt more like real “Star Trek” and nothing like what they’ve tried to do with Discovery or Picard. It is definitely flashy and bright and CG. Not full JJ Abrams. It is closer...

I expected a much larger train wreck and instead just got a pretty bad movie. It wasn't the worst and 50% of my attention was on Salt and Sacrifice. That could explain a lot.

lol Never confuse clean with organized!
