    By the way, what painting is shown in this scene?

    Renewed/Cancelled Shows

    FOX has cancelled The Passage. I enjoyed this up until the finale with the massive time jump.

    Still deliberating over which video card to go with. Any opinions on the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 590? $215 seems like a very good price, and Sapphire is apparently a top-tier card maker. And is silent from the reviews I've read.

    Doom Patrol

    Well, Disney has WAY more cash than DC, plus a wide variety of potentially streamable content. DC's stuff is pretty narrow.

    Doom Patrol

    With the departure of Marvel from Netflix, DC should simply license their material to them. Why bother with the trouble of all the infrastructure needed to support their own streaming service? Sounds pretty dumb to me.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    This was probably brought up back in the Infinity War thread -- but what exactly did Thanos accomplish by halving the population? Earth, for example, would have been reduced to 1970s population level. Which means in under ~50 years we (and most likely the universe as a whole) would be back to...

    Alright, a used 1070 EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB | SC ACX 3.0 | 1920 CUDA Cores | 4K & VR READY! 5173-KR | eBay is going for $250 on eBay. But a few bucks more gets a brand new 1660 Ti which seems comparable in performance to a 1070. And the 1660 Ti was my first choice anyway. In fact, looking...

    Desktop Computers

    A friend is insisting I buy a used Radeon RX 580. And, sure, there are plenty of 8GB models on eBay hovering around $130. But, man, I am skeptical of buying a used video card. Also, the majority of them are MSI and XFX which, from the handful of reviews I've read, are claiming they can be...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's what I don't understand. Were the writers trying to make it seem like Jon is a poor general? Or did they think the strategy they wrote was actually sound?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Haha...I bet he was losing his mind while watching the episode.

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    It's similar to Riverdale, isn't it? Feels like it takes place in a 50s era setting yet is modern.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Trust me, I'll never watch this shit again.

    American Gods

    Totally agree. This season felt like a string of incoherent scenes. I have no fucking clue what's going on anymore. Also, Thor was never in the book and oh, wow, he commits suicide? What the fuck is this shit? That black bitch would have no hope of seducing me. Hard pass.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Right, seriously. What are they doing on the back of the dragons? They aren't directing their attacks or anything. They're just along for the ride. Dumb.

    Where are you seeing RX 580s for ~$100? Or do you mean used?

    Okay, looking to upgrade from my GTX 950 to something that will allow me to play Warframe at max settings @ 1080p (monitor is actually a 16:10, 1200p I suppose). Anyway, seems like the GTX 1660 TI is the way to go. Anyone disagree before I order this bad boy? Eye-balling this one: ZOTAC...

    Car ?'s

    Does anyone have first hand experience with both the Focus ST or Fiesta ST and the new Honda Civic Si with the 1.5 turbo? Wondering how the two (Fords vs the Honda) compare as far as fun-to-drive. I have a Fiesta ST which is an absolute blast to drive and great for the roads in my area. But...

    The Twilight Zone

    I said I was out, but another episode had downloaded and figured, hey, maybe this SJW stuff was just a fluke. NOPE, episode 4: White man bad. Deleted the series from my hard drive. Good riddance.

    Playstation 5

    Same here. I'll probably wait until there's a PS5 Slim or some shit before picking one up. Honestly, Sony should just wait until they can do their own version of Google's Stadia and finally ditch manufacturing console hardware.

    The Orville

    I guess having toothpicks for legs does give one a thigh gap, but I personally don't find hers attractive.

    The Orville

    I told y'all she has nasty legs. I like skinny but this is grotesquely spider-like: Because of wibbily wobbly timey wimey stuff.

    The Orville

    I'm assuming the finale is the second half... If it's a linear timeline I'm not sure how anyone would recognize things are different (ala "Yesterday's Enterprise" sans Guinan). Anyway, fantastic episode. The actress playing Kelly did a great job presenting a younger version of the character.

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

    What kind of development work do you enjoy doing? Just look for that. I'm with you, I don't care so much about the pay as long as it's doing what I want to do (within reason). By the way, I'm in Virginia too. Charlottesville area. We have a couple guys that commute from Richmond.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I find it hilarious they keep showing the black helmsman as if she's an important crew member yet we know zilch about her.

    It's funny, I immediately recognized Tony Todd even through all that Moclan makeup.

    The Orville

    OH, and Marina Sirtis is looking old. I barely recognized her. I think the writing is on the wall that him and Klyden are headed for splitsville.

    The Orville

    Decent episode, but why has 50% of the season been about the gay ass Moclans?

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    Been holding off on this due to the above comments. Has it lightened up further into the season or is it full-steam ahead? If the latter then I'm deleting it from my queue....

    The Walking Dead

    I don't even know what they can do to repair the damage. Except for Daryl and Carol, they've lost all characters that anyone gives a shit about.

    Roman Empire

    Yeah, it's odd. You would think they would have a natural progression through the timeline but they are jumping around in no particular (I don't think?) order.

    Season 3 is out. Focus is Caligula.

    The Twilight Zone

    Another great episode was "The Light Brigade" (or something, too lazy to look it up). They actually had several episodes that take place in that universe. IIRC, Earth is at war with an alien species and the war is going badly. Very depressing from what I remember. But great! Highly recommend.
