    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I've seen a variety of 5120x1440 but none for x2160 - I don't think there will be any gaming ones available until the newer hdmi/dp standards are more common - 4k@10bit@120hz is already more bandwidth than either dp1.4 or hdmi 2.0 can handle.

    This covers a lot of what springs to my mind with a dark tone. Some other possibilities in no particular order - Psycho-Pass, Made in Abyss, 'Now and Then, Here and There ', Mirai Nikki, Mnemosyne, Death Note, Shinsekai Yori, Darker than Black, Elfen Lied Note that both Madoka and Made in...

    I dunno that I buy in on your prematurely cynical take on this one*, but Wool would make a fucking great show with a decent budget. * Sure, it might be just as shit as you predict, but person of interest and westworld s1 are enough for me give it a few episodes on it's own merits.

    Summer 2020 Anime Thread

    I had mixed feelings. The intro was fine, then the first half was a bunch of random nonsense with wildly overexaggerated animation. The tournament itself was good though.

    Dark

    The biggest mystery was never revealed though! How the fuck did the Origin get laid so often, dude is ugly as sin and creepier than Eppstein ;p Did he bring his loopers with him when he did ? Did they just stand there watching ? 8) Jokes aside, the series ended satisfyingly, wrapping...

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    Apparently the early difficulty was my fault for lack of attention. Patrols are much higher level than the story battles. It got a lot easier a few battles in. I'm about halfway through and liking it a lot. Tame mechanic should be 100% at 1hp, not 65% though - taunting and stalling out for...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean, pugging a key just before reset is for the desperate. You can get baddies and retards any day of the week, but your odds are extra awful on the last day. Kind of best case is you are overgeared and get invited to a group to carry someone's trash alt. That's kind of insulting, but the...

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    Green man gaming had it for $8, so I figured why not. It looks kind of interesting but I have a pile of crap in my to-do list for gaming so never got around to it before. ( Also buying it at $40 after seeing it on sale for $15 before feels bad ).

    Kind of goes with the territory of the lighter kid friendly tone - they are lucky they stumbled onto whimsically comical supervillains, because some random thug with a 9mm would have killed all of them with no effort ;p

    Books : Ascend Online [1-2] - Luke Chmilenko Litrpg - not to be confused with 'Awaken Online'. This is very much in the literal part, in that the characters in the book are literally playing a game - it's not secretly a real world or the object of godlike or alien machinations. They aren't...

    Eh, it's trite and predictable plot line, but the episodes manage to be pretty good regardless - the whole Darkseid storyline was hilarious. I'll reserve judgement til watching them i think.

    Space Force

    I watched all of this as background while doing other stuff. It was ok, it just wasn't funny - the last minute of the first episode is about as funny as it gets. That's not to say it spent all it's time trying to be funny and failing, it spends a lot of time playing it pretty straight.

    It's good fun. As a joyless nitpicker I have a few random comments : - Dad starts getting into shape and disappearing for lengthy periods of time with super hot 15yr old stepdaughter, coming up with awkward excuses when asked what they were doing ? ;p

    I tried out Villainess on your recommendation, and I like it. Lighthearted silly fun. Catarina is the absolutely the worst adventurer ever to set foot in a dungeon though - she'd be in awe of how professional the cast of Konusuba are ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Does standard pvp scaling even work for PVP islands ? I helped a guildie out with one a couple of weeks ago and the tank ran into the enemy team while gathering mobs and solo killed all of them with random twilight dev procs, at which point 2 of them immediately dropped group. They were...

    That scene was pretty funny - I have to wonder what the karate guy was thinking though - even if he has a really high opinion of himself, hand-to-hand fighting a 12ft tall 2 ton slab of muscle seems like it would present some practical problems ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well yes, that's the exception that proves the rule. High key M+ is the least accessible content they've ever added, that's probably what lead them to the 'shocking' realization that things like LFR are anti-social because you have no idea who any of those mouth-breathing retards are, and hope...

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I've been pretty happy with the steelcase gesture. Probably not worth the cost, but it's very comfortable without requiring a lot of fucking around with adjustments. Also the only chair with armrests I've ever used where I didn't take the armrests off due to shitty positioning. I used to use...

    This was pretty weird. It was ok i guess, but didn't really work as whole I think. Offerman could pull off the slow, portentous speech but no-one else could, which made them all sound kind of ridiculous. The rants about tech CEOs also seemed weirdly out of place, particularly the Messiah...
