    Star Trek: Picard

    The entire reason I am refusing to watch Picard or STD is that I have a ridiculous memory for useless knowledge. What has been seen cannot be unseen. If I watch that shit it will stain my good memories of Trek even more. Plus SJW Trek taking a giant shit on cannon is not something I would...

    Babylon 5

    B5 could have been the replacement for Trek as the biggest TV sci fi IP, but JMS and the studio just could not get along at all. Lots of good acting, though it sort of started slow because the first captain guy they had was literally going insane. Last Season had some solid stuff in it, but...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Ok Wombat, here is a challenge for you. See if you can sit through the Trois loses her powers episide, Trois gets aged by a power leecher episode, and my personal favorite the Trois gets pregnant with alien baby episode. If you can make it through those, more power to you. As far as her mom...

    Izo, you cannot count STD or Picard as real trek. It is known.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Jesus Christ I forgot about Kes. I swear that bitch was stoned every day she was at work by the tone of her voice. And they tried really hard to make her a thing, but it was night and day once Jeri Ryan replaced her. Ryan could act, had good comic timing, and was extremely fap worthy. And...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Geordi was the forever alone guy before that meme existed. Dude struck out with every woman he tried to get with and was thistier than fucking Harry Kim, who arguably had a better wing man. Even Data got more pussy on that show. For what it was, once they stopped sucking at writing, he became...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Edit- Just noticed the Chekov thing. That role might have been a bit over the top, but remember he was an american dude who was trying to portray a likable russian at the height of the cold war. His career shifted more to writing (he created most of the story for the original Land of the Lost...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I give Frakes a pass because he was actually more of a director. He also had the only functioning set of balls on that entire fucking show. Some of the better actual hard science episodes and action episodes were central to him (Best of Both Worlds part 2, the one where he is in a simulation...

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

    Been seeing an uptick of this where I am at. All appear to be from the rang rangs. Not to inject politics into this thread, but they have been doing this shit for a while but are probably pulling out all the stops in an effort to crash out economy before theirs bites it. Makes sense they...

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    Good base idea and shitty execution. Also takes things a step to far in every direction. Pretty much like every Ryan Johndon movie ever. I am on the fence about Willis, since I grew up on a lot of his better work, but holy fuck did he do shit tier work in this movie. JGL worked his ass off...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Fun fact, he was also the director of some courtroom show for a season where his daughter was a regular for the season story arc. I want to say Judging Amy, but I think thats the wrong one.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Andrew Robinson is basically a craftsman in the eyes of the acting community. I think he spent a good portion of his career teaching acting, in fact. A lot of what went into Garrak was his work developing the character. There is a pretty good clip on You Tube where Armin Shimmerman and him...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    This game is just plain perfect, aside from the camera. It even did the usual thing I get annoyed with in games where the rules kind of change for the last major fight, but it was done so well that it did not bother me in this instance. Consistently fun from the start to end, well acted, and...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Also, fucking Tony Todd might be one of the best recurring Trek actors to play multiple great parts. Worfs bro, the Hirojen Hunter, and older Jake. Only Jeffry Combs is better in that capacity, with Weyoon, Brunt, Shram, and like six other one shot parts. The guy who plays Martok also did a...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Cyric Loften was just a shitty actor, but he was cast so young it was basically a gamble on their part. And fuck anyone who did not like Nog. Nog and his dad actually grew as characters more than anyone else in the series. I agree there was too much fucking Vic and that S7 got a bit too soap...

    Disney has the best young red head capable of doing stunt work already on their payroll. They shaved her head and painted her blue. But she would be a decent Mara Jade and can clearly do the physical work as well as act. I could see Isla Fischer being ok, but considering Disney already has...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Edit- You guys are mostly too young, but back in the day the easiest nutty woman red flag to spot was mentioning their astrology sign in the first ten minutes of a conversation. And the nutty chicks into that shit could never help doing it, like they were vegans essentially. Every single...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This. In the old days, you had to rely on more experienced bros to tell you the girl was batshit. By then you had already dipped your wick and were not going to listen to anyone's advice because crazy snizz was so good (and easily accessable). One of the few truely good things about the...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    RDR2 was a great game, visually and story wise. But it had some serious issues where the game's shit controls just stripped you out of the world and kept it from being fun at times. GoT never strays from the game being fun and does not prohibit the player from enjoying it on their own terms at...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Edit- Just looked at it and like, ugh. No B Wing even? That stupid U Wing from Rogue One in place of the B Wing? And that assault lander instead of a fucking Tie Advance? Expectations tempered, I guess. Online will be nothing but wall to wall interceptors, just like XvT was.

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Well I will be slightly pissed if they do not at least have the Advanced and Defender in this game, as those are long running fan favorites of Tie Fighter Wars players. The Gunboat and Missile Boat I can understand since they were kind of invented whole cloth by the TFW designers to give the...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Tie Advanced did in the OG Trilogy (it is why Vader survives a hit from the Falcon's quad turret). In old cannon, the Tie Defenders, Tie Phantoms, and elite Tie Fighters had limited shields. The regular standard TIEs, Interceptors, and Bombers never had shields. The Tie Advance featured very...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    You are mostly describing that Star Trek Bridge simulator game that came out recently, which was fine for a VR demo, but not especially fun as a multiplayer game. And in single player, the game had major difficulty spike issues. Not a bad game, just wish they did more with it. Starfleet...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I like poking the bear here with Brosyar a lot, but the fact is he is being a true midwestern fan here while also the typical russian brag about how bad they had it (also shared by is krauts in wisconsin) rolled into one here. Central division fans tend to be big on gallows humor and realistic...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I can say that the Ubiquity setup with the gen 2 cloud key does IP6 just fine, having messed around with it just for funsies. I cannot speak on the other two. My current project is getting my fucking forwarding rules right so I can host my web page on my Synology Nas to be externally visible...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Remember that Abrams and Kennedy fucking hate each other and were forced to work together again because the Mouse said so. Also remember there are an army of faggots who feel like TLJ was some masterpiece and want to excommunicate Abrams for the sin of not making another movie like it and for...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    And Ian McDiarmid. His hamming shit up was the only redeemable part of the prequels and the one genuine reason I had any desire to see RotS. His cameo in Rebels was pretty badass too. It took a master of subversion of expectation like Rian Johnson to make a movie so bad people actually think...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    One area that they could borrow from the recent God of War is having a button (R3 I guess) just center the view. The camera is very retarded in this game and constantly gets blocked by terrain when you are in the thick of it. This is an especially big deal in the town fights in act one, as...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I am not that far yet. Taking my time and savoring this one, plus the wife wants to watch when I play it so I am doing it in three hour bites some evening. Great fucking game and tons of great small touches. Not sure if this is a all time great, but it might be the best open world game of all...

    Brave New World

    The Peter Galleger version a decade or two ago was better and more faithful to the books, plus Nimoy as First Citizen was awesome.

    Both those cases were discussed at length in this very forum when they happened. The consensus was wait and see. Both were entertaining and did decent enough. But the thing is they started this open woke shit after the fact. Now Valkadyke was always a feminist shit head, but she is also a...

    You think those chodes care about that? They just want the stunning and brave game to outperform the culturally appropriating shitlord fest.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I think you can set it to emphasize performance and you will miss out on HDR which is really well utilized in this game. But I honestly do not know since every PS4 we have is a PRO. The graphics are only one of this games many draws, though. So if you are thinking of pulling the trigger, the...

    Well all the guys I cited, except Cruise, have had political activism moments of one sort or another. Gayness is not really related. I mean, its harder to find a straight guy in Hollyweird these days than a gay one. If I had to pick one actor who has greatly disappointing me it would probably...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Some guys you can get past it with. Like knowing Tom Cruise is batshit and likely closeted does not detract from how awesome he is on screen. I feel the same way about Ian McKellen, Chris Evans, Don Chelde, Matt Damon, and even Alec Baldwin. But those guys are decent actors and leave that...

    Knew that dude was going to be an issue the moment I saw him VR cornholing his homey in the worst Black Mirror of all time and his turn in Altered Carbon just cemented that feeling for me. Dude has been going full on woke for a while now.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Pro with a hybrid SSD hard drive so its faster loading than the stock one. I have this on a HDR TV with full surround stereo running with maximum display quality, such as they are in the settings, as well. No performance issues and super fast loading times. Its fucking incredible.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Yeah and if you look at review sites, especially aggregate ones, there is definitely an agenda to make this game perceived as somehow "not as good as TLoU2" which is laughable to even say out loud. This game is crushing it with the playerbase and probably magnifying what a fuckup TLoU2 is to...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Thats a bit negative. As others have pointed out, this game does quality of life better than any open world game ever has. The individual quests are different enough to keep it consistently fresh. The horse is not retarded. The way you explore is very organic. The load times are incredibly...
