    The Orville

    Didn't know he was banging ensign angry lesbian, but I believe her arc was written as a self contained arc for the season. E.G. They planned from the outset for her to die in the way she did. The security chick he def was shtupping and she was apparently kind of batshit on top of it, but I...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Barbie Dress Up dance game had a story only a fan of WB TV could get into. Plus once you had two dark knights and an alchemist, you could faceroll your way through the entire game.

    Final Fantasy 16

    I stopped after 13, but had played every prior entry in the series multiple times. Tactics is a masterpiece but not really part of this genre. My tastes differ from most, but I think that FF4 and FF6 were pinnacles of the series. Good story, mechanics, and characters. I enjoyed 12 a lot, in...

    Andor

    The show is good in a vacuum, but its just too fucking slow to find a broad audience. I mean, last episode can literally be boiled down to Space Jew no one cares about gets desk job, Main character goes to jail for jay walking, and competant Imperial security chief gets promotion. The Mon...

    Hellraiser

    Shudder is a good steaming service if you want to go down the budget movie horror rabbit hole. Lots of shit on the channel, but there are some really good low budget movies hidden in their lineup as well.

    Hottest Actress Bracket Fight

    If you guys are going to do this, you really need to compare the older actresses in their prime. Like Selma Hyak is hot even now, but in her prime she was on a whole other level, as one example. Same deal for a lot of the 70s and 80s bombshells.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Emo is still alive and openning Weird Al concerts.

    Smartphones

    My Moto Phone is still getting updates and working great after six years at this point. So glad when I went the Moto-Android route. Phones last me six years on average and run well the entire time. I basically only upgrade once they stop supporting the patches. If I upgrade my current one...

    Board Games

    The games you listed are good, but very long and fairly complex. War of the Ring is an all day affair and Star Wars Rebellion is a similar commitment. See Horus Heresy, Eclipse, and Twilight Imperium for similar experiences. Good licensed theme games that are not too crunchy and can be played...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I do like that they are making scaling in PVP seperate from PVE on things and toning down bleed (and rot to a lesser extent) in general. Not sure I like the DW status scaling being nerfed, because you already make some pretty big tradeoffs (at least in PvE) by power stancing. Sorcery seems to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Patches has always been the master turtle in each game. My guess is either Dungeater or the phantom that drops Rivers of Blood. The guy you kill to get the Tiche ashes will probably be high in the running too.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Even if all you do is shoot shit from horseback, its worth it because the mount is going to have better defensive stats and mobility, not to mention speed, than any character on foot who is not a minmaxed melee build. And as much as it pains me to say this, Dragon Disciple should probably be...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I seem to remember more of the elemental races and Yaun Ti being options in the last one, plus more elven sub races? I could be wrong. As for being OP, I am in the sweet spot where I blow through trash using RTWP but have to buff and turn base on major bosses, which is where I have the most...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Chugging through this atm on console. First impression is that there is a lot missing, option wise, from the last game in terms of races and some of the class options. Mythic character shit gets out of control really fast, though. I have to playthoughts going side by side (one evil one good)...

    Andor

    Ignoring them hammering the shit out of rich people bad, the only beef I have with the show is its too slow. If the dialog were more fleshed out or they were demonstrating things a bit more visually, it would be fine. The scenes with the Imperial insider guy, for example, were perfect. The...

    New World

    XP was never the issue. Wife and I spent exactly two months playing this and power grinded all the way to 60, leveling crafting along the way, with zero issue. The problem is once you are there that the gear grind is super heinous and there just was not much to do. Granted, we are PvE people...

    Why bother? Scientology Cuck and movie about white man bad. I dislike them both. He has not been in a good movie since Ali, really.

    God of War: Ragnarok

    The valkyrie fights were rage inducing at max difficulty, for sure. I think I spent almost two full days beating the last two. The gear farm in the poison zone, whatever the fuck that one was called, was super fucking annoying too. Valk queen was the only fight I felt was unfair because she...

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

    9ers Offense is middle of the pack, which is actually fine given their defense. Lots of teams have scored more, even the Lions. SF know the Rams (and most of their own division frankly) but I expect them to struggle with the Fins, Bucs (assuming Brady is not washed up), and the couple of other...

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

    Stafford has a history of tunnel vision on the one guy he likes going back to Megatron up through Golden Taint and beyond. Kupp is just the latest in that tradition. It is his biggest flaw as a QB. That said, no one can have success behind that O Line and the Defense seems way less on top of...

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

    Not sure what to say. I mean, special teams cost them games last year and the Steelers game this year already. This is also the view of the Bengals own press. And as someone who has watched their team miss at least two Superbowl trips due to special teams miscues, I am skeptical of any team...

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

    I have a hard time taking any team that loses to the Cowboys seriously as a contender. Its really as simple as that. Also, the Bengals Special Teams are really shitty and trust me as a Packer fan I know how badly that can bite a team in the ass.

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

    Yeah Brady clearly is not the same QB anymore without Gronk as a safety blanket. He also got away with being old before now because his line used to be better. Rodgers is just having his usual bad year after two good years (seriously its a pattern with him) where he reverts and holds the ball...

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

    Not consistently so, no. Both the Deadskins and Eagles put up nearly 30 on them. Their other games were against a beat up Chargers team and shutting out Matt Ryan, so hard to tell at this point. But more to the point, I don't think their main defensive scheme is ideal against a team like the...

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

    I think the picture on the Eagles would have been clearer if they had not almost blown a couple big leads (Lions game being the most egregious example). I think they have a soft schedule (only one semi-tough road game against the Cowboys; Cowboys and Packers only really semi serious teams to...

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

    AFC is back to being a giant suckfest again. Bills are the only balanced team in the AFC, but make erratic choices in game. Chiefs are one Mahomes injury or solid opposing Defense away from turning into the Raiders, but until that happens they have to be the odds on favorite. Rest of the AFC...

    Board Games

    Crunchy is more specifically rules for rules sake, in some ways. A game can have simple rules but be very complex (Chess). Nemesis, especially with all the bells and whistles, has a lot going on in in, much of which may never directly impact the outcome of the game. The best comparison I...

    Board Games

    Very complex. Lots of mechanics and moving parts. Not good or bad, but a matter of taste if you like it or not. Think of a game like Monopoly as a sort of low to medium crunch game (axis and allies similar), while something like Gloomhaven or Twilight Imperium is very crunchy. Pipeline and...

    Nemesis is fun, but its very crunchy and very brutal. Back to the Future is simple fun and fast for a coop game. The Alien Nostromo game is a pretty solid coop game as well.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Biggest gimping here is the wombo combo of that rare lethal hack comboing off the rifle you get from the rednecks that just autohits everything in front of you. It does not appear that they nerfed that weapon at all and it just fucking melts everything in the game when paired with that Hack...

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

    Is the QOL decent? Money is almost not relevant once you are past a certain point. I have turned down higher paying shit just because I am very comfortable where I am at. I have to imagine you are in a similar situation.

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

    Darth Bill needs to hang up his spurs, really. The amount of time it will take them to rebuild (without Brady giving them cap room to put more talent on the field) is going to be way too long. Dude has nothing to prove and is getting pretty old. I am not sure who you replace him with, but...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I also think of Eomer of the Briar as more of a main boss, since he is the end baddie of poison castle. I will take him over Godskin cheater though.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    They used the pussiest overland bear, though. Not one of the miniboss bears like that fucking prick in the bottom of the one cave in the south continent. Edit- NM Guess they did use that confined space miniboss bear.
