Yoda was clearly more skilled with a lightsaber and more powerful with the Force than Dooku. I think it was close between Sidious and Yoda on both fronts, it could have gone either way but indeed the fall was the difference(?) Sidious got the upper hand and Yoda knew he would never get another...

This is one of my favorite moments of the OT. My take: Luke was more powerful than Vader, not that he was dying. Luke was going to be an Upgrade for Palpatine. Vader was "more machine than man" and it limited his interaction with the Force: He was still powerful but not what he once was. It...

KIWI MFERS ARE TERRIFYING

Still playing, lots of work keeping my play time down but almost done with the JK Origin Story, on Corellia at level 55. I have figured out a bunch of workarounds for my issues above, some were me issues, some are game things. Still fun, though. Combat is mostly just an obstacle/to complete...

Clive Barker was one of the first authors I knew of as being out as gay; the sex was an intrinsic part of his fiction, including and especially his horror. I don't know where many of these could be done book accurate, with the caveat I have read many of them in decades but the sexual content...

This is before the Feds took over student loans, so college was still affordable.

Silsbee is north of Beaumont, Pro Wrestler and Olympic powerlifter Mark Henry is from there. His brother Pat was a Defensive Lineman at Texas A&M. Channelview is just outside of Houston on the east side. I don't know anyone from there off the top of my head.

So I did get get an itch to play this and went back. I had a few characters sitting around waiting that I had made way back when, I mean close to launch. 2895 day old mail and everything, my level 4 Chiss Imperial agent and my level 6 Human Jedi Knight. I never really had a plan for the Chiss...

Thank you for flying MILF Hemp Motorboat Airlines! "Will there be anyone else on the plane?" "Only if they are conceived in flight."

I started trying to watch Season 4 and had to stop at the beginning of Ep1 when they started arguing about the black guy skipping the basketball game for the D&D game. <record scratch> Will trying again at some point in the next week while on vacation.

I don't remember who it is. There are so many to choose from. I do remember watching Season 1 while home from college in my grandparents bedroom. WHAAAAT.

Holy fucking shit GD It.

one more week of rest; I am off next week for my birthday and things will die.

So I watched Seasons 2 and 3 back to back; I didn't realize there had been a Season 2 even. All together, it was a much better 17 episode single season than it would have been just watching season 2 alone, thank goodness. Season 3 was way better indeed. Such a mixed bag, I will have to go...

True Story: I started having pain in my index fingers. Go to the Dr., I now have arthritis in the first joints of my index fingers (otherwise known as the trigger/ R1/L1 button fingers) from 200 hours+ of Elden Ring. Dr asks me if I have been doing anything different lately. Playing this...

You know, I have been hearing about things like this about Tom Cruise for 30 freaking years. At this point, maybe it all is a lie, and maybe he is in his heart really evil, and perhaps he has a Xenu ray that he can convince people that after he pulls their Good Parts™ out, that he is actually a...

I have sinned against my FSR Brothers. Have some Charles Dance and Eddie Murphy.

When I saw this thread, the first thing I thought of was this interview and everyone should watch this, even if the parts where he talks about working with David Milch and Ian McShane. His different era Pacino's are great as well.

I was just about to come post that. The 6900XT is only 899 as well, so 100 below retail. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-speedster-merc319-amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-gaming-graphics-card-black/6489784.p?skuId=6489784

Super fucking hilarious. Fuck Disney Star Wars right along side all of the other Post Endgame Marvel D+ shows.

If only they wouldn't do something shitty with this. OH RIGHT DISNEY. Edit: And who the fuck cares about Casian Andor? DIAF.

The fact that Paradox games change SO MUCH between updates. Live Service games don't have this delta between DLCs. I set something aside with a 1000+ hours in it and come back to a completely different game. I don't know if its the case here but I was thinking about redownloading this and...

The way I have heard it, after the Kang conflict, this leads into the new Secret Wars which was headed by Dr. Doom. Just Sucks they have skipped 30 years of great comics and went straight to the terribly written, horribly selling batshit Woke comics of 2012+ for stories. Fuck Gorr and the...

I grew up near Beaumont. While Beaumont itself is a pretty big if rather suburban town, (150,000+) I assume there are enough rural/country folks competing in 4-H that homeslice would have the ever-living hell beaten out of him before he pretending to plop down in a pen. Not a guarantee, though...

I was planning on going to see this on Friday but after reading spoilers, I'll wait. Marvel is fucking dead and Feige should have retired after Endgame. He has completely misread the room. It's not that the genre's dead but the people making these movies, who now have all the cards, are...

Watched a bunch of videos and while everyone more or less plays within the same framework/mechanics, there are significant differences between each faction; each faction has unique mechanics as well. There are a lot of currencies being generated and being spent. There is combat but more...

I read somewhere that this show was strongly affected by COVID? I think and has been sitting around for while while they waited to finish it? Or something like that. Maybe that changed their plans? Or they couldn't get the actors for long enough to finish a full single run show, so they...

It was a good episode but a terrible finale. It may be the worst season finale I have ever seen; it was like a mid-season episode. So little resolution. Almost every story thread was left hanging; probably true to the book but this is TV: Adapt it.

I am so wrong and misremembered that completely. I thought it was only the Hulk that was caught up at Paramount and that the MCU sales took places in 2008 prior to Iron Man's release. BBZZZZZT. We have always been at war with East Asia and Marvel and Star Wars have always been at Disney, I...

No, I remember but that wasn't pre-disney, it was all Disney, was all I was trying to quipily point out.

WHA?

Having Batman work for Riddler was the movies' meta unexpected twist.

I must be misreading your post. The only choices aren't EQ and EQ2; I guess you mean don't give Melee classes a spell book-style interface? /Shrug. Don't be stuck in the past or limit yourselves to just a single paradigm. It would be disappointing if this game were exclusively just an EQ...

This is exactly right. Also EXACTLY, what they did with Batman in Batman Begins, which is adapted from "Batman Year One" IIRC, while this is adapted from "The Long Halloween" IIRC supposed to effectively be a Batman Year Two story. Again, HUGE IIRC. They saved enough of Gotham from Ras' plot...

Dammit, every Thursday there has been a work thing where I forget to check AMD.com. EDIT: 6900XTs are still available for MSRP at amd.com; I have one sitting in my cart. Food shortages may be next but video cards are now available.

The pieces for a great movie are all here, they just aren't put together correctly. Is that the studio, is that the Director (which I don't really think because Matt Reeves has done good stuff), was it COVID, was it the actors/schedule, etc, or was it just one of those things where it just...
