    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Because I'm a fucking guy and identify as one. I just can't immerse myself into a game if I'm playing a woman, my brain doesn't work that way. Shouldn't be a hard concept and should be pretty normal for most guys. Again it's different if it's a movie or book, but if I'm the one who's playing...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    I mean I understand it's going to cost a bit more, but you figure with at least people like me I'd be willing to pick it up and play it, whereas I don't want to have to be pigeon-holed into playing strong waman. It's just those other two games did such a good job of allowing either character...

    Decadent - Lovecraftian FPS

    Saw an article about this today, and could be fun, or at least worth a purchase during a sale.

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    As a middle aged man, I've always dreamed of playing an empowered female rogueish character in the Star Wars universe. Finally my dream will come true! I'm sorry but I just have a real hard time getting myself invested into a video game story where it forces you to play a female. It's...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    That's a fantastic documentary. All of his movies are pretty wild, and had he got Dune of the ground it definitely would have been a historic spectical.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Are you velveting or marinating the chicken when your sous viding? I mean I guess you can't use the egg and it because it'll cook, but do you do it before and maybe wash the marinade off, or is it just straight cooked chicken, nothing fancy?

    How are you frying then?

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    What cuts? I'm assuming boneless skinless thighs? How long do you cook it for, and what don't you like about it? I'm just generally curious because I haven't ever cooked it that way.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Haha, sounds like the same reasons as you. I was using it pretty often, specifically for steak, but I started using my Slow n Sear on the kettle grill with the cold grate method. Found I was getting better crust and still cooked perfectly. I also do a lot more reverse sear with bigger cuts...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    That's a decent price for both. My sous vide is one of the earlier gen Anovas, but I couldn't tell you the last time I used it.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I buy the rolls and cut my bags. Learn pretty quick to leave a better running room so juices down get into the vacuum area. Think ours is a KIOS or something like that. It's was maybe half the price of your Anova, but I know that brand makes good stuff. If mine shits out, I'll upgrade to one.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I've really been thinking about swapping out my chest freezer. It's not exactly huge because I didn't have a bunch of space but I think I only paid a hundred bucks for it. $300 is pretty cheap, I think would make it a hell of a lot easier to find what I'm looking for. I would just run two but...

    MaXXXine

    I never saw that movie because it looked like shit. She was pretty good looking in Last Night in Soho though. Definitely has a unique appearance / beauty compared to most celebrity women.

    MaXXXine

    Goth, I remember her from The Survivalist. That's a pretty fucked up post apocalypse independent film. Worth a watch. I do think Joy is probably one of the best actresses out there now. I guess typically when I see her it's a decent enough movie, and maybe she's getting big enough to where...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Fuck, I had Shining in the Darkness and Shining Force for the Genesis. Forgot about those games. Is there some sort of PC port?

    Movie about retards!

    MaXXXine

    This actually looks interesting, and A24 seems to have a pretty decent track record. Normally when I see their logo that's at least something I'll at least give a chance. I haven't seen X or Pearl, are they any good?

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I bought one for maybe 40 bucks or so of Amazon with decent reviews. I've noticed that sometimes I'll need to press on the bag when vacuuming to assist the air out. I'll also sometimes double seal it just in case, but it's been pretty decent, especially for the price. I looked at that...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    Oh wow, go read Mr.Shivers and Company Man. If you do audible get the audio versions, both are wonderfully narrated. I just do a lot of audiobooks because I travel a bunch for work, and a beats listening to classic rock over and over. I think those are his two first novels, and they're...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Yeah, the wife had picked up some chicken wings that were 25% off last weekend, and my plan was to vacuum pack them and toss them in the freezer. Completely forgot they were in the fridge, when to pull them out and check them and oh God. We buy a lot of clearance meat when we find it, and...

    The Fishing Thread

    You can't go wrong with Jackson. I think they also used to have a purely sit on top kayak that I believe is a tandem call The Big tuna. I might be mistaken on if it's tandem though but I thought it was. I haven't looked at their lineup in a long time, but that might also be an option if you...

    The Fishing Thread

    Yeah Craigslist will typically net you some decent results depending upon your area, as long as you're not going to get robbed by some jogger. If you can find a used boat though I'd be all over that.

    The Fishing Thread

    You got a few options. I was going to suggest a Jackson Kilroy Tandem, but it looks like they don't make it any longer. It's a sit inside hybrid, but they're fast boats. I've got the singular one for the wife, but I fish out of it all the time. The other option you could do is a NuCanoe...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    I haven't checked out his new books, but I got Mr.Shivers on audible not long after it came out, and I probably listen to it once a year when I'm traveling. Of all of his works it's definitely my favorite, but Company Man is really good too. I think he's actually a Texas if I'm not mistaken...

    The basketball scene is still pretty hilarious and awesome.

    Late Night with the Devil (2024)

    Yeah that's the plan. Not really a movie that needs the big screen experience. Definitely plan on watching it though. I know I've started this before but it seems that the movies I enjoy most right now are these lower budget independent flicks especially horror films. Sometimes they're hit...

    Think it comes out later this month on Shudder.

    The Matrix (1999)

    I said both have similar themes, but they're different genres, one being a mystery detective noir, and the other a action packed Chinese cinema deal. Hell, Dark City verges on the side of sci-fi horror. The Matrix does not, even if the setting is horrific.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I thought about just getting a wacker packer and running it over the area to see if the worms will come up. Probably drive them nuts.

    The Matrix (1999)

    Shit I remember seeing that one in the theater. To me it was the same quality level as Strange Days, which I watched last week again. Two great films, and Vincent D'Onofrio was in both, I just remembered. He's a great actor and always helps to elevate a film even if it's B-,tier or whatever...

    The Matrix (1999)

    I remember going to see dark City in the theater back in high school on a double date. Everybody loved it, that's still a good movie despite the special effects maybe not standing up to scrutiny. It's a completely different movie though even if it's got similar things. But I think they're...

    The Matrix (1999)

    Well turning into a tranny ain't cheap. The highway chase was the best part of 2, especially the music. I saw all three in the theater, and I think we went to see the first one opening night, and went again the next week. Two is okay but the third one was a piece of shit, but there were some...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Saw a video a while ago of some hillbillies going out to their favorite worming spots in the woods doing this. They harvested them and sold them bait shops. Was actually pretty neat. Wife and I were doing stuff for the garden, and churned our compost pile. We've got a huge amount of...

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Yeah the guy's a millionaire and has every supplement and availability to medical treatments under the sun. That's why it's both interesting and just screwed up. Seems like his whole point of living is just a prolong his life, even though he says I want to be able to take care of my family and...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    I'll have to check that one out. I didn't realize the DC shortened some scenes or at least I didn't notice it.

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Tucker interviewing him the other day. I've not finished listening to it, but it's both interesting and also fucked up. The vampiric part of taking plasma from his son but also giving his plasma to his dad is especially creepy.
  38. Dr.Retarded

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    That might be the DC. I know they republished it a few times under different names, but I thought that one had the cocoon scene. I could be completely wrong though. I'd actually paid to go to the theater and watch all three of the films director cut versions back to back, as long as you had...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Is it the director's cut? Not that it would really matter, but those few minutes added really make even better. This might actually get me to go to a damn movie theater again.
