    Need to set expectations with them. I got what I demanded, just took a little more patience.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    PS- Also agree with Raj that Samurai is the best starting class, outside of specific playstyles. You are literally given every tool in the toolbox, aside from magic which you can level into later if you want. You can even be dual wielding katanas ten minutes in, if that is your jam. They only...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There is something very cathartic about going 2h unga bunga and From seems to be forever buffing that playstyle. Issue is that MLGS is already pretty much one of the top end 2h (and goes with a sorc build) and the playstyle gets pretty stale after a while. Worth one run just to facetank smash...

    Combination of LinkedIn and Indeed has been the best resource for me of late, but honestly if your resume is solid get it to a contract house you like and let them run with it if you can. K-Force has been pretty good for me in recent years on that front.

    Not really. IT people, real IT people who do day to day keep the lights on work, are always the last to get cut when that axe starts falling. They might clip some deadweight contractors, but companies can hardly fill the roles they want now with the current labor pool. Now I work for an...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Int casters are ez mode if you use the trap to go get the grav staff and the boulder spell near it. You can ride that combo for practically half the game and its way less farming and stat intensive than just about any mele build. I was genuinely shocked at how much easier being a caster was in...

    Violent Night (2022)

    I went in with high expectations and was not disappointed. This movie had to be as much fun to make as it was to watch.

    My wife thinks I see the agenda everywhere. Even she fucking rolled her eyes back into her head when they did the big lesbo drop with the red haired jogger played by the actress from Cpt America and the Social Justice Warrior series. That actress is pretty outspoken about hating white males...

    PS- I guess you are right. That screen shot might be from a test map that did not make the final product, which was common back then. The original Tactics Ogre back art and instructions had similar screencaps (and said maps were later worked into the 2010 remake as levels in POTD iirc). The...

    JRPGs

    Tactics Ogre came out in 1995. So I guess not quite 30 years. First game in the series is 30+ at this point. As for Revenent Wings, its basically sort of like the Vincent spinoff. You might like it, but many did not and it was not well received. Very popular with its niche crowd, though.

    I would not count on the KKK (Kathleen Kenedy Klan) adhering to any cannon Filoni came up with in Rebels. In fact she is the kind of cunt who will go our her way to shit on things he created. As such, I don't think anything in Rebels will impact whatever direction they go with Mothma.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    For all the talk of how obtuse FROM quests and NPCs can be, you actually had some decent and engaging stories with a number of them in this game. By the end, all that are left are the spirit tuner, maybe Ranni, and the blacksmith who loses his marbles. Very depressing when you actually think...

    JRPGs

    Thats just a shitty screen cap (or maybe mid casting lighting from an animation, the test shots had characters with summons ect you ordinarily could not have). Thats the reverse angle of the front rim of the fort exterior. I have a lot of fond memories of FFT, despite my strong opinion that...

    Deneb was a slog, but not as many dragons needed and the Relic grind is about the same as the glass pumpkin one was. Upside is the dragons can all be nabbed early and auctioning them is useful for both money and crafting. Getting Cressida is still bullshit incarnate, though. Deneb is at least...

    If you really want to get nerdy, light is more of a directed energy medium and plasma/blasters are basically pockets of ionized gas accelerated by a magnetic bottle in the firing weapon. Anything laser will be more accurate, fast, and precise, while plasma weapons tend to be low velocity and...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    FWIW Matt Flynn would have probably been a starter nearly anywhere else at that time (Dude set records as a backup that are still in there) but we had Rodgers, so he was out backup. In fact he almost WAS out starter, but McMuffin did not like how he practiced even though his in game intensity...

    Did we really need another show with a lesbian interracial couple in the lead roles? Tone is way off from the original movie, almost jarringly so. Its not terrible, but the Mouse just can't help itself with the agenda pushing.....

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    Constant crashing is a Firaxis specialty, especially the console versions. I am also really tired of the whole card game within another game shit thats trending lately. What I wanted was an updated Freedom Force with Marvel characters, but instead this is a brainless deck builder form the...

    Mando S1 was mostly episodic, but it had the over arcing story of him wanting to return the kid while on the run from other bounty hunters and Imperial Remnants. Characters also had arcs over the season and recurring appearances. I have spoken.

    Hate to agree with the dog fucker, but yeah there are literally tons of shows with better season 1s out there, some recent and one even Star Wars. Mandalorian Season 1 was far superior in every way, except not as much budget for big sets, while being from the exact same network and fictional...

    The sets, music, and acting are extremely well done. The pacing is shit, though. Just too fucking slow and too much waiting for the interesting characters to pay off (Skarsguard and the Imp ISB chick). Cut out space jew simp, cut out hindu space lesbian rebel, dial back the Mon Mothma shit a...

    Don't feel to bad.

    The show does sound great. I don't have ceiling speakers, but I do have a 9.2 setup 200w per channel setup and the audio in this is comparable to Tron 2 or Bladerunner 2049. The music choices remind me of the original Logans Run movie and a little bit of Blakes 7. Very retro sci-fi dystopia...

    Its too fucking slow and boring. How many fucking episodes was in Mon Mothma bleeding out her vagoo and Andor in (the most Rube Goldberg designed) jail? Four episodes could have been condensed down there to one so maybe we see the snippets of the actual decent shit, like Luther doing his thing...

    This. Once you have a resume that demonstrates you know your shit and produce, you can get in and coast just about anywhere if you want to. Thats also how shit like multi-gigging became possible, because work output expectations are so low that you can literally hold three jobs and still have...
