I’m pretty sure the scene in the show plays out very close to how it does in All Systems Red, with the helmet coming off after fighting the sand creature away. That’s pretty early in the book? But it has been a while and it was obviously accompanied by more internal stuff about being...

The first episode tone was a little off for me, but I’m going into it expecting where things are going. The crew are definitely a bunch of space hippies so they got that right, but they’re a little too “zany” and over the top. Not so far off, they’re supposed to be very naive, I just never got...

Avoided this thread but have played the last couple of nights. Not far, opened up the map and just did the zone with the patchwork Gestral guys and boss with the shield? Ran around for a bit and beat the big Chromatic map boss guy with the anchor, and did all the fights at the Gestral Arena...

I wasn’t able to watch the 1st two yet unfortunately, maybe today during kiddo nap time. Really excited though. To celebrate the release of the show the artist that did the work for the SubPress books has released a couple more prints for sale on his site: https://www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

Gibbet Hill by Bram Stoker Short story published in 1890 that was rediscovered in 2024 by an amateur researcher and Stoker enthusiast. It is a tale about a traveler on his way to Gibbet Hill that encounters three strange children. The children accompany the traveler to the top of Gibbet Hill, a...

Hard to keep up with the thread since I'm a couple books behind and don't want too many spoilers or anything. Finished Gate of the Feral Gods on my drive home yesterday from work trip. It was pretty good, and I continue to really enjoy the series. Almost out of Audible credits after being at 12...

Is there a chance that a lot of that 3rd, 4th, 5th villain stuff is all part of flashbacks to establish Supes has been around for a while. Just trying to think of if it will be handled better to not make the movie feel so busy and so many bad guys.

“Puts privilege through the wringer!” “A brilliant scathing takedown of the wealthy and the beautiful!” I feel personally attacked but will still probably watch it. For free.

Just finished To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams which wraps up the trilogy. For me this series entirely wore out its welcome. It could have been edited to about half the length and probably been okay, or maybe split the final book in to two and add more actual content. I’m a very slow reader...

I got about half way through last night before going to bed and it isn’t bad. Pretty close to the trailer but gives you better insight in to the dad kind of losing it. Will finish tonight.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2980648/ Wife pick for Friday night. It wasn’t a bad little movie for a low key family type film. 7/10 may be pushing it but 6/10 is fine. The big issue we both felt the movie has is that it feels out of place in time. It is set very modern day but the themes just...

I’m kind of torn. Would take pictures but already sent the MX back. The audible clicking doesn’t bother me so that’s wash between the two. The MX is a larger mouse and felt like a bigger base for my hand to rest on, with the Ergo it feels like I need a wrist pad and that my pinky drags the...

I think the 6" down rod is going to place your blades at that 8" level, since likely (with most "standard" fans) your blades aren't mounted right at the top of the motor housing. They're like... middle of the housing, you know?

I need to replace the stupid fan in the nursery. The room is on the small side for a bedroom, so I went with a much smaller flush mount fan that was LED and had a remote. Never again. Have hated it ever since I put it in two years ago.

The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu Similar to There Will Come Soft Rains by Bradbury, this is another short story that Conversation Tree Press published a little bit ago, just had no picked it up to read until today. The story is centered around a half American half Chinese kid named Jack whose mom...

I've already got the old logi, just ordered the new one it'll be here in the morning.

I don't even know what this top thumb button does and never bothered to install the stupid logitech software. I just use the two finger buttons and the forward/back thumb buttons. Maybe I'll pick up the other one to try out and return this one or give it to wife.

After watching those and a couple other videos I went ahead and grabbed the Logi MX off Amazon b/c it was next day delivery. Not sure if it is the newest or whatever. Did you mean the Ergo Lift? Did even notice that when I went to buy. Honestly the transition has been really easy. Almost...

Interesting modeling of this roller delay subgun. Straight mag is an odd choice given the cultural recognition of curved magazines for most applications. 10mm straight mags would be clear so I'm guessing this is still 9mm? Barrel looks like it has tri-lug with thread protector for direct mount...

Yeah, I would say noticeable. I don't have a lot of experience without using it though, so my baseline is kind of what it sounds like with everything running. It is impactful turning it on and off. Listening to a lot of Dream Theater and Coheed to test it out though and picking up on a lot of...

This seems entirely unnecessary.

This is terrible. I slowly wound my way through season 1 and 2 as background noise because my mom was watching it and to have something to text her about. It isn’t good at all. If it had stuck to just being one thing maybe it would have worked as just a budget and worse West Wing or just a...

Think I've got everything set up now. Playing with a bunch of different HD 600 options. Thanks for the pictures, I completely looked past the "AutoEQ" button.

Good lord, had to turn the brightness ALL THE WAY up on the phone for that one.

Ever? Sir, this is FOH.

I still don't remember if we had a thread for Murderbot, the TV Show thread exists but doesn't seem like this belongs there. Finally got around to making a frame for my print of Compulsory, the Murderbot short story printed by Subterranean Press. Had no idea frames were so expensive. Local...

At the beginning when Rudd thwacked the unicorn snapping Ortega out of the vision, I thought it was genuinely a funny dark moment and set the tone for the rest of the movie. But it just wasn't. The rest of everything was just bad. It was late and I was tired so maybe my previous post wasn't...

Went in to this having not watched the preview so really knew nothing about it. Wasn’t the best. Had decent hopes after the intro scene but it just wasn’t funny enough as a dark comedy or serious enough to make a point. It was kind of below average all over. A few spots were hilarious but it...

I gave it a shot today and just couldn’t get in to it by middle of episode 2, maybe it gets better.

For what it is worth here is my pieced together system from last month. Came out to $2,667.50, pretty sure I accounted for everything when I tracked the build. There were a few small items like fan extension cables, a GPU stand (b/c I didn't notice the Powercolor came with one but it was too...

My small update. The Red Devil XT RMA was returned, and everything seems to be working 100%. Only had a minute but re-ran multiple Monster Hunter benchmarks which would consistently crash, 0 failures this time. Played some Last Epoch at max settings for about 10 minutes without issue...

Will do. Unfortunately my amp came to town via USPS, bounced around a bit, then left heading west to Denver for some reason, and is now hopefully headed back. They were very easy to replace though, no tool required. Feel nice on the head, and cost wise it wasn’t that much more than OEM...

Just because I don’t want anyone to lose sleep and to show my gratitude for the concern of my health, today a pair of (new) ZMF Suede perforated muffs came in for the HD600s.

We started a re-watch of Dollhouse since Dichen Lachman was in that, she and Enver Gjokaj are inarguably the only high points of that show. May have to abandon it after 4 episodes because it is hard to get past how terrible Eliza Dushku is. She single handedly ruins that show. Even Amy Ackerman...

I haven’t experienced that yet but will look out for it more. Seems pretty smooth to me and performance was better than PoE 2. Hit 72 or 73 last night. Still not really sure what I’m doing other than clearing these monolith maps and I started doing as many Weaver maps as I can to get points...

It wasn’t aggressively offensive or bad, really. ImJust dumb and a waste of my time. The set up seemed really good for dark humor with him dying over and over, everyone around him treat him like crap, etc. Then sprinkle in some emotional or philosophical ideas about the soul and his simplistic...

Forgot to read this thread before starting the movie. Don't repeat my mistake. Afte ran hour and a half decided this was not worth finishing and went to bed.

Just got a shipping notification that my Red Devil RMA is on the way back. It was kind of odd in their status flow it only lists "Return" as the last step. I got no other notifications of it moving through. Really only saw the shipping notification b/c PayPal Shipping picked up a FedEx shipment...
