    im watching this now. yeah, racist entitled pos son is really grating. High school party with kids doing lines of coke... While again, repeated comments by the kids about racist, yokels. I'm pretty sure this shit is written by some LA retard that has never been to out to rural America...

    Star Trek: Picard

    lol. yeah, that planet logging in at 1 millionth of a percent of the suns mass, had to really ramp up that explosion.

    Torchlight III

    yeah, interesting. Frontiers was just not working. the horizontal progression system was just not there. Sounds like this shift into a proper game might be good. frontiers was super shallow... but honestly going back and playing torchlight 2,so was that. their skill system has zero depth...

    Dracula

    sadly, I felt that fell a bit flat. Like, yeah, I like the idea. and its largely true.... but, we saw his castle. Remember the "its so fucking big you get lost and need a fucking map" castle? Same with the servant question, and we remember all Dracs servants were dead, and he didnt have...

    Dracula

    yeah, and to be clear. the fact the moved to modern times, is not the problem. the problem is, they moved the story to modern times, then proceeded to not actually DO anything with that premise.

    Star Trek: Picard

    my point is they only ever meditate on those ideas in very limited circumstances. They never do so on larger social, or civilization scales. The show is not very progressive in that regards. it doesn't ever pontificate how society would change based on any of these technologies, or...

    Ares. Dutch. White guilt the series masquerading as horror. Its shot well. It looks gorgeous. Plot is really weak however, as its spends episode after episode on??? im not even sure. nothing fucking happens. I could not even tell you where the time went. long pretty empty shots I...

    Star Trek: Picard

    trek has always been pretty bad about actually discussing, or integrating most of the real ground changing technologies. Like, the replicators, and teleportation. They just exist, and inexplicably don't have the massive civilization changing effects they would in reality. Same with digital...

    Doom: Eternal

    at least he admits the platforming has no place in doom, yet still raves about it... which reminder, theres platflorming in this too.

    Doom: Eternal

    I am really fucking suspect. "this game is so much better then doom 2016. it adds so much more lore and world building. a paradigm shift that all future fps will be shaped after. It adds a homebase, upgradable home, level/mission select from home, cut scenes." im sorry, isn't that the kind...

    Snowpiercer

    thats an interesting point. TNT/tbs were channels I as a Netflix user would have tended to watch. Their long form series, etc are very much the same content streaming services excel at.

    Star Trek: Picard

    yeah, but it was like Orville bad, not Discovery bad. Like ,sure we all give Orville high praise. But really thats just because its far better then it has any right to be, and in comparison to the trash of Discovery, and the last like 10 Star Trek entries. The Orville in a...

    Dracula

    yeah, basically. the problem with the show was it was just all over the place. Starts with Gothic horror.. but slips in modern jokey quips. ep 2 is almost a good gothic ship mystery horror... but same deal. ep 3 is just really all over the place. They set up Harker institute.. and drop it...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    I'm not sure I think carriers are expressly overpowered. I would probably just argue the cost, in terms of crew, maintenance is met a little too trivially. as, they ARE more expensive like that. needing way more crew. so needing crew space, and paying paychecks. and then crew dying during...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    yeah. I hear nexerelin adds the ability to send npc fleets to deal with the constant pirate/luddic path station spam. Which seems worth.. as well as a bunch of other cool, faction/diplomacy elements. I never really learned how to play combat directly. I was doing shitty combat freighters...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It is really frustrating. this is a Galaxy full of crime syndicates, gangsters, pirates, slavers, Rogue nations. that these assholes can't write a story that does not revolve around the Resistance/Empire rehashed, Sith/jedi rehased, and/or Skywalkers rehashed is really pathetic. Solo could...

    This was pretty good indeed.

    The Witcher

    The first episode made a few very notable statements about time. "grandma won her first battle when she was 14!" Then, like 2 minutes into the scene change with Geralt and Renfri. "Queen Calanthe just won her first battle last week" or something like that. They were pretty careful about...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    yeah. its weird. like, that scene is the epitome of what RLM think of Rogue One, and "fanservice and AT-ST!", while they bitch about other starwars movies rehashing Tatooine over and over. Every other part of that move was the exact opposite. New characters, new planets, shady murdering...

    Subnautica

    wtf I discussed it in talking about DQ builders 2... Subnautica is pretty solid. That does sound awful. Anything Subnautica "needs" would be either to take a bit more from Terraria in terms of items/artifacts, or more dynamic combat. or, proper colony/base building. The...

    The Witcher

    The show def needed to spend more time with Geralt doing Witcher things. Hunting gryphons and shit.

    Locke & Key

    Well, Sabrina took the horror comic, chilling adventures, and blended it with the more typical teen romp Sabrina... so its possible they did that will Locke and Key as well.. Or, its just a rope them in, and turn the knife after the fact.

    just started it. not loving it so far. All I can think of is, "man, Wizards of the coast should make a Curse of Strahd movie/series."

    watching this now. yeah, lol shes totes pregnant scene done as comedy was fucking retarded. Im on ep5 now, with Yennefer is a mass rapist, pyscho. Seriously, so much time spent on her, and making her so unlikeable. Kumquat and Viagra magic... ffs... DnD does this too. Witcher has...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    Still a noob too. But heres some of my thoughts. Specialize your fleet. I started with "combat freighters" Mules, wayfarers, etc. and I think thats bit of a mistake. My playstyle is "scavenger/bountyhunter/high value transport/seigebreaking.. But, when deciding between 2 mules, vs 1 cargo ship...

    Lost in Space

    still a constant everything constantly is a life and death catastrophic failure that needs the Robinsons to solve. I feel the frustrating part is they added all these other characters, and the Resolute, just to give everyone else the idiotball and have the Robinsons save them. But, mostly just...

    Dragon quest builders 2

    ok, so this game is kindof super fun. it came out last year on Switch/ps 4. And just recently on PC. There is a HUGE demo on each platform you can play for free. 10-12hours of playtime. the first quarter of the game or so. I played the demo, and did the unthinkable. I paid full price for the...

    Best movie of the decade ?

    I didn't think dredd was this decade. but yeah. 2012. I wasn't coming up with a name, when looking at the tread title. nothing stood out in my mind. Until clicking the tread, and seeing Fury road, at which point, yeah. 100% fury Road. cinematic masterpiece. Dredd IS amazing too though...

    Cats (2019)

    really, this movie may have saved humanity. Elon is probably cancelling all his Catgirl genetic research. The basis of which could have been the end of humanity, due to sterilization, genetic degradation, or retroviruses. but after seeing this, I'm sure Elon will realize hot girls in cat...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    literally every single Jrpg. I wonder where that came/comes from. The pretty much ALL fucking do it. I think dragonquest is like the only one that is medieval fantasy, and stays that way. No "oh, aliens actually are controlling us. or, we are living in post apocalyptic future, with super...

    I keep meaning to put up a sign for that. I have been swapping my gardens over to all either "edible" and/or native plants. Have 7 blueberry, 2 kinds of rhubarb, about 300ft of strawberries, and ton of raspberry. 4 kinds of mint. grape. 2 large apple trees were on the property when I...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Lucas himself changed the name to Moraband for some fucking reason. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Moraband its this kind of shit, where its obvious Lucas has lost it. It was called Korriban for 20 years. Lucas presumably just couldn't stand someone coming up with better stuff them...

    Outward (PC/Xbox/PS4 Survival RPG Mar-26)

    I've heard alot of comparisons to Gothic. The game is super immersive in a way most other rpgs are not. Not from deep interactive dialogue, or super detailed backgrounds, etc. But instead largely from the unique skill systems, and Auto-save. The game forces you to live with your choices...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    how is Cats the only movie with the balls to open up vs Star wars this week? everyone had to know starwars was a trainwreck coming, why didnt anyone call them on it? Jumanji was last week. This xmas is pretty fucking weak for movies. And, the question was how the fuck did the people...

    Path of Exile

    incursion doesnt start till end of act 7 to be fair. level 54. its no accident its well into the game now. your build should be able to handle it. Too much shit going on. That 100%. its about pacing in a map. Way too much stop and go. Leaving the map, to do mini-zones.. I can't...
