Even if you strip it down to its barest elements, Farm Planet/Escaped Solider->threatening Empire->price to be paid-> recruit help-> recruit 1/recruit 2/recruit 3/.../finale, why would you do this as two movies and not a series? It seems like it would be easier to get to 6/8 one hours than it...

Feels like they are trying to stretch this out, too little butter over too much bread. I am only guessing but I bet they weren't trying to save NYPD man because he is going to be Plot Armored in the Next Episode, so he lives with No Effort™ at all. Totally useless sexless sex scene. They...

We are talking about two different things; I am talking about the art of acting, the ability to inhabit a character and elicit from the audience, either in person or on film, an emotional response. It seems like its easy because we see so much of it but if you have ever tried it, to do it...

Didn't this assclown crew also fuck up the CJ Stroud roughing the passer call that put him in the Concussion protocol while the Texans had a glimmer of playoff hopes this year? I thought I read that somewhere but may be conflating it with the Fields hit as well.

You can find the tweet, they have pics of him lined up in the same position as the play in question multiple times throughout the game. Its buried now somewhere in my timeline but I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to find from any regular internet search. They only flagged him when it...

This is an all-time bad call, I mean, on the level of the mugging the Rams Defender gave to the Saints in that famous No-Call, or University of Michigan's famous 5 downs, but to call back a successful two point conversion because the Ref got the wrong guy checking in as eligible? Legend. I...

They gave it to my wife when she hurt her back and my MIL when she broke her collarbone in a car accident. In the US the FDA have clamped down so hard on opioids cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers are killing themselves because they can't get relief. Ketamine is one of the alternatives...

There are lots of jobs where I think, "I could do/could have done that"; Acting is one of those artistic skills that when someone does it really well, when they really disappear into the role (not DeNiro's version of whatever, which can still be compelling and great, mind you) I am amazingly...

Doesn't set my gaydar off at all. /shrug.

I just spent too much catching up on Eu4 and Stellaris DLC, as well as Everspace 2. I had a 1000+ hours of EU4 10 years ago. I guess I will finally bite the bullet and relearn the game from the ground up rather than just starting a new game, bitching about it and stopping.

I love the world and the story, the huge fucking world with the underground and this incredible story that's all there. Elden Ring has one of the best stories of any game released in a decade or more, told through these little moments and conversations and bits and spells etc that you piece...

Why would I ask Folgers about anything? I could just ask Grok or ChatGPT if I want a fantasy answer. pickles reference is from Real Genius:

Its a checkbox from 2015; the whole MSQ is a holdover back when Multiverses were cool and this "ring the bell" quest to get powers checked the box and providing no challenge was considered OK. The whole MSQ just felt like the NG+ and the big M. Night reveal were expected to cover up for the...

I enjoyed my time with it, too. The game, however, didn't come together well. I would buy the story of a ton of stuff being cut; MS pushing them back a 10 months to polish but sclerosis at the top keeps them from pulling things together well enough to close the gaps they had, ala the elevator...

Immersive sims? What kind of world are you living in where you think Skyrim is a SIM? Other than being loaded with tons of junk items and some basic NPC schedules, this is mind blowing for you to say. You can literally run forever as long as you don't sprint. Starfield is not missing a core...

Who said its a space exploration game? Was Mass Effect a space exploration game? I won't disagree that the procedural planets aren't great, in that there is always the same kind of things to find but that is a matter of variety and quantity. They need more hand-crafted content in the...

Way too much Chani seemingly speaking out against Paul/Bene Gesserit "Way" in the 3rd trailer; I guess they have her trying to save Paul from becoming the Mahdi? Way too much Zendaya in the trailers altogether. Super excited for the movie, though, and the inevitable supercut extended version.

It would have been a lot easier to say "Let's wait and see if the company that have previously let us kill and run over hookers has gone Woke" than the kill-the-Messenger, FOH-WOKE=RACISM-New-boss-same-as-the-old-boss screed you posted above.

This MF'er was the BOMB; I basically aced 2 stat classes because no one understood that I was writing programs rather than doing my homework. It may have been the highest grades I made in college. I do not for a moment to this day feel guilty about it.

Ugh, I sold cars for a while and got a car phone to enable me to call customers on the way home to "follow up". I thought it would impress them and probably did sell a car or two in 1994. Any money it made me was wiped out when my first wife treated it like a mobile phone and talked for like...

Yeah, in 2023, with ESG money seemingly flowing like KY on SF street corner, its nothing like BS accusations of Racism. We live in the pop culture ruins of Wokism over the last decade, with numerous previously amazing IPs now smoldering husks of their previous glory due to the Message™ and...

They didn't used to for that very reason; samples have to be representative of the populations you are trying to study. If you mostly poll college students, you are only going to know things about a middle/upper SES with no income of its own ages 18-22 that skews radically Left in 2023.

Its easier to talk about which ones of these I didn't own than ones I did; I never owned a Palm/organizer of any sort; I never had an MP3 player until I got an iRiver-chewing gum pack style ram player in 2002? I thought the post-Jobs return Apple stuff was culty and didn't buy in until iPhone...

I can't get over the main story. The game is fun and I enjoyed it but I haven't changed a whit from the way I felt in my previous post. Let's see what they have planned for the Expansion and see if my disdain for the story dies down any over time. Maybe with some modding I can come back next...

NGL this is one of my favorite songs of all time since I saw it on MTV in the early 80's. You never see/hear it anywhere though. Edit: It's used in Miami Vice the TV Show in 1984 but I remember the video on MTV, which was vaguely I guess similar, a girl and guy running from something. Edit 2...

Judge LurkingDirk has decided that mail-in ballots from West Philadelphia will now be counted. Fresh Prince Araysar to make massive comeback.

Next year is your year, Fokker. It's always next year.

I wish we could give you a special award, The Fokker Black Log™, so you think about fucking yourself every time you saw your avatar. Didn't we do this one year? It would be like a Christmas Miracle.

Stop campaigning in the finals, Aryanbro.

Araysar vs. wormie-

This is the kind of bullshit I was talking about. LD, YOU BROKE MY HEART.

Araysar vs. Foler- Not giving Fokker a vote ever. Kirun vs. wormie- Is it a Schoedingers Asshat?

eh, I liked everything but the story. There were plenty of issues, though. Was Skyrim nominated?

It's going to be difficult to thread the needle here, and I am going to have to break some of my own rules to get to an acceptable (I hope) outcome. In the Game of Asshats, you win or someone you don't want to win wins...or something. Needs some work. Araysar vs. Ambiturner- May keep Foler...
