    Renfield (2023)

    Good quick quirky movie elevated by great casting. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of old school Dracula easter eggs in there too.

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

    I hate HR at our company. Our whole ID management starts with them in Workday, but only they have visibility into it and they make stupid typos entering shit into it ALL the fucking time. And then it takes me hours to unfuck because of all the fucking duck tape and binder twine holding all our...

    I do, but only because the fucking millennial tards that report to me will keep chatting at me when I am on the shitter. I still reply on the shitter, but at least they only bug me if its really important.

    Doctor Who

    The real issue is the writing and the woke infection (started partly during the early days of New Who and exploded out of control right before Nurse Who got rolled out) and no amount of special effects budget is going to fix that. Just ask the bean counters for Star Trek Discovery and Ant Man 3.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    That will change once they introduce Druckman's gigantor character.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    To be fair, Margit is a bit of a fuck you for long time Souls vets too, with the hyper aggressiveness and multiple feinting that is all over this game, compared to its predecessors. Basically, if you were a vet used to shit like Last Giant, Phalanx, or similar first real bosses, Margit is a...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Endgame had a number of issues. Its where they started really pushing the Message big time and it took what was a very dynamic and relatable bad guy and turned him into a one note rubber monster bad guy. Plus the unsubtle cherry on that shit was the aforementioned pushing Captain Cuntface into...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    My guess is that he was meant to be a quest NPC at some point but got cut due to time limitations (similar to the Mimic Tear quest line being dumped).

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Another thing to consider is that vets of the series are probably good enough with the mechanics to fight the harder shit under leveled. That being said, some areas are simply just gear checks with the mob mechanics and Caelids giant dogs and birds are in that category. The other reason to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    On a new game, I sneak up there in Caelid as soon as I can swing a bleed weapon to gank that sleeping dragon and get the higher level smithing stones near it. Once that is done, I finish all of the Lake Region up to the lift before I ever come back. Most of it, aside from a couple of the...

    The Mandalorian

    Thrawn, Vader, Palpatine, and some randos from Legends books are about it for actual competent Imp people in cannon. There's a lot of name dropping about the ISB, but until Andor we really did not get much exposure to them. You can't lump Moff Tarkin in with the good ones because he was the...

    The Mandalorian

    Praetorian history in official movies and shows is pretty piss poor, for certain. I mean, you get to see them in ROTJ for the first time, but they don't actually do anything. Then in the prequels they get snuffed out instantly by Yoda. The ones guarding Snoke get smoked almost instantly, too...

    The Mandalorian

    The heist of the Imp cruiser (same one Axe lawn darted in the last ep) was a season two episode. Season one did not really have a lot of space stuff outside of the rescue the murder hobo from Republic jail episode.

    The Mandalorian

    Inconsistencies of power and tech is a problem that permeates scifi in general, but has always been an issue in Star Wars. Writers used to be much better about it (TNG to Enterprise era trek had actual technical writers bibles) but its still a constant issue that can break immersion or even...

    The Mandalorian

    This season was the retaking of Mandalore and Grogu maturing into an apprentice. Not seeing some vast difference here. Its basically a serial Western show and we have gotten a lot of that. Do you not remember him spending a third of the first season trying to put his fucking ship back...

    The Mandalorian

    The edge lords bitching about this season need to go back and watch season one again. This is on par with that material, at least. The biggest issues this season were that the side characters were not as strong (no Cara Dune, Mayfield, Boba and assassin team, ect) and for the third fucking...

    Folger's Extravagant Swatch Thread

    Him doing his routine in the Pol or Screenshots area was bad enough, but endurable. I got sick of Folders once he started doing that shit in the Grown up Stuff and similar areas. I get most of you fucks lie about who you are, even if only to remain anonymous, but his shit was way over the top...

    Final Fantasy 16

    X2 could be beaten with two DKs and an Alchemist for 99 percent of the game. The other tiny slice were ridiculously overtuned bosses that required looking up the specific combo online and getting lucky to beat. It was a shit game at every level and everyone is gayer for having played that...

    Good recruiters are rare, but they exist. And yeah, you can pretty much filter out anything with a Poo name or a Rang name instantly with nothing of value lost. Also, list your bare minimum QOL and pay requirements, as this will filter out the more inventive Poos. Of late, K-Force has been...

    Remote work and other side effects from wu-flu lockdowns pretty much exposed middle managers for the useless tits that they are. A lot of them are trying to rebrand themselves as "agile" experts and sleeze their way into these PO and Scrum Master roles, or other generic project management...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There are plenty alternatives for people who want to play a pussy version of this game. The difficulty is fine. Plus nothing stops people from overleveling if they want to. And anyone bitching about runbacks in this game obviously never played the other Souls games, especially Dark Souls 1 and 2.

    I own my own house thats paid off, have zero debt, and pretty much do what I want with my spare time. Plus my stuff actually exists, unlike your made up LARP bullshit. Also I have a distinct lack of black dong passing through my colon. So I would say, pretty good.

    You claimed the tech field was having issues for software engineers. We pointed out how retarded that was and now you are doing a Wormie style pivot and claiming thats not what you said at all. Mainly for me, though, I just don't want your false persona trolling in the Grownup Forum area. You...

    Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2022)

    Movie was fine, on par with the first. Lucy Lu shit it up a bit and the young Billy actor is kind of shitty, but fortunately he was not in it much. Crippy sidekick and unicorns stole the show. I hope this picks of some speed because Zach Levi nails it perfect and its nice to see heroes who...

    Chorus - Space Combat Sim - 2021

    Once you get the warp behind dudes power and a good gun, the game gets easier and a bit repetitive. But I had fun playing it and do not regret the purchase. I just probably won't replay it.

    This is possible, given his obsession with materialism but with odd preferences. All I know is that he is never genuine.

    You said engineers are getting canned and cannot find work. I know for a fact that this is false, as would you if you were anything that you claimed to be. Plus you have even less credibility than you have chill, so I in no way ever believe your statements about yourself. You are like an over...

    I know you are LARPing as someone you are not (wrong forum for that shit btw), but if you were actually working in the tech field especially in FLA right now you would know this is patently false. The latest round of tech layoffs is just purging oxygen thieves or shit projects made by them...

    Tech is only keeled over for the useless people. Anyone who puts actual experience on their resume instead of pronouns is having a field day in the job market right now. Those Amazon tech bubble web designers and DEI people? Yeah they are getting cut out en masse. People who know how to make...

    The Last of Us

    Does not matter. Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, is going to bail once Gigantor tees off at the Par 4. There is zero way to make that character resonate with wider audiences, especially since as was pointed out we got fuck all of background on what the Fireflies were actually up to. Who...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    I am not saying Rodgers wasn't great and part of their success, but if there is a more stacked year at WR for the Packers, I don't remember it, Maybe the year Favre had Brooks, Rison, and a couple great TEs.

    Oh don't get me wrong, McFatty is probably the most to blame for wasting Rodgers career, though the front office fucking up managing the roster had a huge part too. Rodgers is even more egomaniacal and bitter because he knows McCarthy fucked his entire career. But if Clayfaker doesn't sack Big...

    As much as I like being consistently in the mix, the days of Infante, the Majik Man, and the Cardiac Pack were some of the most fun I had following the team. Next to the Favre era it is probably my favorite time being a fan of the team. I lived through Starr trying to rebuild after Danny...

    The Last of Us

    In the game its clear they had found other immunes and cut them open and killed them without finding the cure. It is also implied that they were going to use the cure as leverage to take over from Fedra. Fireflies were shit all around, which makes the second game even more of a ridiculous...

    Packers were fucked long before Rodgers finally went Coo-Coo for Coco Puffs. Even if LaFluer was the greatest coach ever, the state of affairs he was handed after McDoofus finally got canned was basically untenable. We kicked the can down the road way too long. True Packer Fans all knew this...
