Yeah I was going to say, Frazetta was a lot earlier. All the Barsoom books by Edgar Rice Burroughs had some amazing covers, in like 1970. I have a bunch of the hardcovers with these jackets in a box somewhere.

So I read all of Unbound and Primal Hunter that is available on KU, and the latest HWFWM. Unbound is pretty good, and I don't hate the main character as much as some other series, but what is it with all these series requiring people to sit and contemplate shit?? Don't get me wrong, Unbound at...

Those lists are also bullshit because "best in state" just means it is likely way too fucking far away. I'm not driving from Sacramento to Los Angeles to try some weird looking pizza. And I'm sure Texas and plenty of other states feel exactly the same way.

Ha, yeah if I had that level of upload I wouldn't care either. I'm stuck with one provider, at 20 up. Blech. I do have multiple versions (4K, 1080p, etc.) of stuff specifically for that reason, but I was just trying to figure out how you didn't have to worry about transcoding unless you had...

Now just imagine it's a bull with horns instead.

Do you have gig upload speed or something? I download mostly 4K remux for myself, and it works great internally because there is no transcoding, but I literally can't send that to people outside of my network due to my upload speed. And even my spare computer (which is several years old, but...

Show us what your autistic supercomputer AI looks like that scours the internet for every single mention of the word "dog" so you can post it in the vain hope that one day we'll all laugh along with you instead of at you.

I'm not @spronk , but I have a similar setup using a Synology NAS. I use the Western Digital drives that are touted as being good for NAS, can't remember the fucking color though? Red maybe? I actually have two different NAS, both 8-bay, one of them with 2x the 5-bay expansions too, so a...

That's kind of the whole point of the Dark Forest though. No one knows what anyone else is capable of, much less what they will be capable of. Even if they somehow knew you were locked up on your own planet right now, by the time someone could get to you, you could have had massive...

Does this mean we'll finally get anti-gravity??? Let me save you some time. EDIT: Ok, now I kinda want to find out who this hottie sign-language chick is. So I guess thanks for making me look up a bullshit gif? EDIT EDIT: Cheyenna Clearbrook. Not as cute now. <Internet Stalking +1>

I thought I was old. Damn gramps!

Yeah, I watched Deus specifically because of her. She still looks damn good for her age. Too bad the movie sucked.

This show made me lust after Claudia Black. She's not exactly gorgeous, but that fucking voice...damn. When I started playing Dragon Age and heard Morrigan, I

As I was reading through the replies, I was thinking about linking this exact clip the whole time. It has been years since I watched the movie, and while I remember parts of it overall, this is the line that I'll never forget and comes instantly to mind whenever The Crow is brought up.

Liar liar, pants on fire! So some friends have a tradition where they go to the movies every Christmas, including any friends they want to invite, and when their dad was alive he never allowed anyone to buy their own ticket, he always paid. They've continued the tradition, and thus I never...

So I guess we aren't talking about this Alex Grey?

I could be in the minority on this one, but one of my favorite Rock movies is Faster. His mood in that movie ranges from pissed off to super pissed off. That's it. And it is glorious. I think it was just that this wasn't a very good movie, and had peripheral characters that no one gives a...

Well, Mr. Amazon has made yet another sale. You should get a commission. I was literally just talking about how I needed to print something while on vacation, and I had to come into work at night to do it (I'm closer to work than any printing place even if it were free). And how I used to...

You obviously read what I wrote, since your first line addresses it. But then you go beyond that and assume something I didn't say. I never "fell for that SJW propoganda" because if I had, I would have said he was dreaming of diddling kids, not dreaming of making jokes about diddling kids...

Damn, now I'm not sure how to feel about Harcourt. She presses like every single button for me and I find her outrageously hot, far more than she should probably rate. I don't hate Gunn or anything, but to know he's probably banging her while thinking about making kiddy diddling jokes is too...

Even if any of that is remotely true, which I don't really believe it is, the women that drool all over him aren't going to give a shit, and the guys like us are just going to like him more. They even tried canceling him over his comments about not wanting to date because he'll just get...

Hmmmmm. Now I wonder if IMAX was in high framerate too. That would have definitely factored into my "too clean" thoughts, as soap opera effect drives me fucking nuts, and while the 3D might have masked it somewhat, I know it looked off to me. Now I gotta see if I can find out. That would...

Since Lanx mentioned True Crime, I'm a big fan of the YT channel That Chapter. He talks about a lot of TC stuff, the most recent being everything known about the Moscow, Idaho killings. That's actually a bit out of the ordinary for what he does, as he normally does stories that are "finished"...

Only if you release it to the media.

This wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but if work hadn't filled me with food and drinks and bought the tickets, I'd have been less generous with my thoughts about it. Since everyone is talking about the visuals and knows that the story is basically terrible, I was a little disappointed...

Does this mean a BIG DROP is coming soon???

Nice! I posted a bit back this year that I bought my first ever 9.8, and it was Thor 337 because Beta Ray Bill is my fucking boy! That's worth a good chunk of change by itself. I also have two other copies of it that will never get a 9.8...unless somehow they get cleaned and press properly...

I would have passed on this completely but my boss and his wife are really excited to see it, and ever since I got a bunch of coworkers and their significant others together to see the first Avatar we have kind of made a habit of seeing movies as a group once in awhile (with work paying for...

Yeah, dislike my approach all you want, but when this thread first started I would have paid full price for this release. After seeing that bullshit in 2020 I took it off my wishlist. Being an outspoken dickhead that thinks they are virtue signaling to a specific crowd comes with the...

Thanks for the suggestions you guys. I have actually put a couple of those series on my Kindle just in case I'm somewhere without wifi and need something to try. Unbound and Primal Hunter are two that I know for sure I've put on there, as they are constantly suggested to me by KU. Will have...

Speaking of prolific writers, just finished Defiance of the Fall 7, and I see that there are another fucking 300 chapters on RR/Patreon, which should be about another 3 books. He writes a chapter about every day it seems. Fuck me. Granted, a lot of it is pretty repetitive or boring or...

Weird question maybe, but does anyone else that plays with controller have weird issues where the mouse cursor periodically (like around every minute or three) appears in the exact center of the screen? The reason this is an issue is because I'll be selecting which upgrade I want with the...

I have literally seen a video of people showing themselves doing exactly that. I can't find it via casual search, but I am positive it is out there somewhere. Hell, it might even be somewhere in this thread. They did exactly what you are saying, except it was even during the day if I remember...

Thanks guys! It was driving me insane but I didn't want to keep digging after already getting a major spoiler. Now, I know I'm not the best with names and some of the fault is my own, but I feel like if he's only been mentioned like one time in the previous five fucking books, the author could...

For those of you that have read Defiance of the Fall, can anyone tell me who the fuck Big Blue is? He/She/It seems to be hanging around Billy and/or Thea at this point (Book 6), and other than one other time it was mentioned, and I was equally mystified then, I don't remember a fucking thing...

Yeah that was my 3. As Harshaw said, they are basically like a soft taco shell semi-filled with meat and beans, and then covered in cheese and red sauce. Which is why $3.79 is a little ridiculous to pay for one, but whatever, had to splurge once while they are back.

So far, so good! It has been decades of course, but I like to think that several years working there during my teens has made me immune to the Taco Bell squirts. I did notice that the enchiritos seem naked without the signature 3 olives on them. They are completely worthless in terms of...

Best day ever.

I wonder how drunk I'd be if I took a shot every time a character was supposed to be one of the smartest in their universe. I wonder if he'll be gay like in the Arrowverse. Who am I kidding, of course he will be. Once you go gay, you can't take it back or the LGBTQs will lose their shit.
