    God of War: Ragnarok

    Any reason why they would not consider Chris Judge? Any story prior to the Norse stuff is so one dimensional as to be pointless CGI fest anyhow.

    The Fighting Game Community Thread

    Juri is not busted, but simply has the most varied and complete moveset in the game. The newer characters are all flops in comparison because they tend to have massive holes in their movesets, mostly in normal attacks in certain ways (Greek OomFuFu bitch not having decent lows stands out). I...

    Paramount+ Streaming Service

    I subscribe for Strange New Worlds and the back catalogue of DS9 and classic trek, mostly. Occasionally something good pops up like S3 Picard and I get a little bonus surprise.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    So I guess a Multiversal constant is joggers stealing bikes? Yeah black Spideroman is pure tokeism, just like all this Made by Netflix shit.

    So My Wife Died...

    I cannot imagine going through that, much less with two children depending on me while processing it all (I followed up in the Rustled thread for context). Having said that, it seems you are doing everything that could be expected of you under these circumstances. There is no easy way forward...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Kirk and Picard working together to save a planet was pretty much as cookie cutter of torch passing as it gets. This was also the TNG's cast first movie appearance (unless you want to count Dorn playing Worf's grandfather in Undiscovered Country).

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Yeah I debated that one and whether it was a spin off or torch pass. I guess its a little of both.

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    There have been a couple so-so to ok torch passes. Ironically, Disney had one of the best ones and dropped it in favor of shit like Tomorrow Land when they did the Tron 2.0 movie. Ghostbusters Afterlife was fairly decent. Star Trek Generations was passable, if unremarkable. The Creed series...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    Malcom X recognized that liberals were not the friend of the black community. He was not in it for the graft, which is exactly why the grafters ganked him.

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Perfect fan service movie with no wokeness. Only thing they missed was making Pratt recreate this classic in the end credits: But they actually had part of the theme song from the old show in the commercial at the start. I made my wife aware of this shows existence and now sing Do the Mario...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    I would be careful with empathy. Toxic empathy is how we got things like feminism and cancel culture. Impulse control and the ability to process the concept of future consequences, on the other hand, would likely have the effect you are after. I am also curious to see what might have happened...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    The kill Hitler thing is dumb because compared to Stalin and the promotion of Marxism on a world wide scale, he is small potatoes. If you want to save the world from a great evil, cutting communism out at the root is the way you would do it, probably by taking a bunch of drones with you and...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Its your dollar, but it really is the best Marvel movie other than No Way Home since IW and will probably be the last good Marvel movie for the foreseeable future. And to answer Astro's question, I will be watching this again. The other two have been regular rewatches for me and I don't see...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    The torture porn is extremely tame by James Gunn standards (Super, Brightburn, and Slither were all far more visceral), but it is being done to animals so it triggers the feels much more. When people are saying its dark, its mostly about the tone of the movie especially, in the earlier parts...

    Collecting Movie Again

    I have a ton of CDs and Vinyl on top of tons of movies on DVD, Blue Ray, and even a couple HD DVD. Anything that does not already exist in streaming gets ripped to our NAS as does anything we frequently rewatch (DS9, 70s Show, BSG being the main ones) which has clouded backups for our key...

    Collecting Movie Again

    I've been doing exactly this for a while now, especially with older obscure movies that might just be outright yanked from public accessibility. Sad that it has come to this, but history must be preserved from Fahrenheit 451 Firemen.

    Mortal Kombat 1

    Really the weakest MK since they started doing story mode is probably the one where they tried to create the "kids" taking over trope. None of the characters were really interesting except maybe Cassie Cage, but that had more to do with her parents and AB voice acting the character...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Cut out the faggot hobbit pillow fight and trim down the drawn out horse ride to the docks with the elven ships and the last movie improves immeasurably. Most of my gripes, if I am being honest, are the lack of Tom Bombadil and the omission of the Razing of the Shire.

    OG SW trilogy falls in the standings on the basis of Ewoks alone.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    LOTR is good, but it drags. Plus the thirty minute gay feelies at the end of the third film did it no favors.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Back to the Future is the odd good trilogy where the middle movie is by far the weakest part. Its easy to forget since it happened in the pre internet rage days, but people were actually salty when P2 ended with a To Be Continued and trailer for Pt3 at the time in theatres. Its still a very...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    LotR kind of fumbled the ending and has some really boring slogs, but as a matter of opinion and taste I cannot argue. Back to the Future is a good one, though, and has aged extremely well along with having far reaching impacts on pop culture.

    How do you find people to play games with/deal with woke guilds/etc?

    We like to think we were all MMO rockstars back in the day who only guilded with people we were tight with, but thats some nostalgia shit. The reality is we put up with all sorts of degenerate and antisocial fucktards to get our dopamine hit of EQ. Here is a mental checklist of toxic people...

    What are you playing?

    I platted ER a month ago finally, but had been focusing on 3d printing a homebrew tabletop game. Now I am replaying Tactics Ogre Reborn on the L path. New games suck so much.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Synology NASes are pricey, but really good. We have an 8 bay with all the bells and whitles, including duel NICs assigned to both my main subnets in the house. Thing runs Plex like a champ (we even stream our music and blue ray rips over the internet/cellular when travelling) along with a...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This bring back any memories? Also you would probably be amazed at how many international companies suck at automating even basic shit. Or maybe not, if you are jaded enough I guess. I work for a company with international presence and our Identity Management is the biggest bunch of African...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    I liked it a lot, but I also liked the second one the most of them all which is not a popular take. Biggest issues are Him being shoehorned in and simply having too much to cram into an already long movie. But aside from No Way Home, it's probably the best Marvel movie since Infinity War by a...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Fair enough, but I maintain that anyone who thinks societies composed of mostly evil individuals cannot function does not really know or understand much of human history. All a society needs are shared values, even if they are immoral and even in a western society. Nazi Germany had plenty of...

    Nice to see you come around and be both based and optimistic. Never thought I would live to see a day where your opinion of fellow humans was higher than mine. I am actually being sincere, btw.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    You literally bitch about how at LEAST half of our own country is evil and I will go out on a limb and assume you think worse of Islamic countries and likely Russia. Our county is the youngest of that batch (unless you want to call the CCP and Russia different nations) and all are operating...
