My god are the Packers going to get blown out when they run into their first healthy opposing offense. I have little hope for the Raiders (starting too far in the hole in a rough division), and hardly confident in the Colts either.

At this point I have zero clue who will be picking in the top five, and I love it.

Man, will Dalton start (and lose) for every NFL team before he's done?

Obviously some properties wouldn't work - as much as we _say_ we wanted Multiverse of Madness to focus more on other timelines, would a What If that entirely changed storylines, characters, setup, etc. every 15 minutes before the big team up at the end be comprehensible? Similarly, would...

Between Star Wars being dead as a movie franchise, and rather clear doubts about Cameron banging out an Avatar every other year, Disney can use all the Marvel films it can come up with. Besides, the majority of Marvel shows (and arguably Star Wars shows) would have been much better off as...

A) Most radio stations had a terrible ratio of bearable / bad songs, imo. B) You would almost never be driving long enough to hear an entire song, as any long distance would just be fast traveled. Given everything you have in your body, that you can't get an internal radio antenna to hear the...

Nah, as I've said before, everyone should have their 'home' team and their 'hopeful' - a team in the opposite conference, that has not been a recent (past 2+ seasons) playoff team, that they can root for without getting in the way of their home team, nor being a bandwagon-er. Obv. my home team...

Smart Football Twitter (TM) had the Eagles as a very high seed, from the combination of player skill and schedule - I think Aaron Schatz over at Football Outsiders had them as his NFC Super Bowl participant. I merely assumed they would be a high if not #1 NFC seed going into the playoffs. I'm...

I only read Three-Body - I just could not get over the flat translation - but is the top left photo a race swapped black Wang Miao and a white Shi Qiang? But yet they kept everyone else Chinese and presumably kept the Chinese Cultural Revolution backstory, even though that isn't _really_...

Pick only one of Reflexes (Handguns, Rifles, and Blades), Intelligence (Hacking / Spellcasting), OR Tech (Smart targetting guns and Lockpick), then dump the rest evenly into Body / Cool until you know what you are doing in the game and what you want to buy. Any time you see a computer, read the...

Expecting all open world games to match Saints Row 3 may be an unrealistic expectation. And yes, while I liked Cyberpunk 2077, even at the time I thought I'd rather play though SR3 (or even SR4, if you can get through the slow beginning repeat material from 3) again before I'd play through CP...

After tomorrow, we'll add one of Eagles / Vikings, and very likely Bills, but as of now, the only 2-0 teams are the Bucs (sure), Chiefs (not a surprise), Dolphins (little surprising), and... the Giants? What in the fiddly fuck?

Are we still repeating that we can't believe the 49ers would keep a competent QB as a backup and stunt Lance's growth? Oh, we're forgetting we ever said that now? Cool. That said, we've seen what look like gnarly injuries that are merely ankle sprains where they come back in-season, so we'll...

We also have no idea what sort of legal agreements are in place. EVGA could easily have a contract with NVIDIA stating that EVGA will only sell NVIDIA-based video cards through 202X, and/or Nvidia's 4000 sales mandate 3rd parties have to purchase chips in a, say, 20% 4090, 30% 80, 50% 70 split...

Would NVIDIA really be playing that level of hardball if _their_ profit margins were great? Honestly, I question how successful anyone can be that doesn't own their own fabs, AMD included, in a world where cell phone vendors take all the capacity they can get.

Yeah, my last three cards were EVGAs, but if profit margins are that thin, I can hardly blame them for dropping out. I do have to wonder if their PSU, etc. products are really going to keep them afloat - how many people decide between EVGA and, say, Seasonic because of past video card purchases?

No one should be doubting that the Chargers are a legitimate threat... assuming they're healthy enough.

Cripes, pull him out of the game.

If you're on PC, hit the gear on the top right of the overlay - the bandwidth difference Good and Best is substantial.

Who's running this production now, NFL or Amazon? This sound mix is terrible, the announcers should be louder than the background music.

The Packers lost 38-3 in last year's opener, but I am not nearly as optimistic they can turn things around this season.

To be clear, I look at SI like twice a year nowadays, but did anyone see 2022 NFL season predictions: Super Bowl, playoffs, MVP and more - Sports Illustrated ? GB as the NFC SB contestant for 6/7 reporters? I acknowledge I am a slight anti-homer, but getting knocked out at home in the wildcard...

JP is the storyline continuation I would most want to see, and could easily tie into that title. (LW was intriguing too - was this the same sort of scenario, or incipient cyberpsychosis? The writing was vague - or maybe that's just Grimes' voice acting.) Despite the main storyline having you...

That's not entirely true, one of the claimed root causes of the 2600 crash was developers dumping shovelware out into the market. One of Nintendo's US-branch rules were that each third party could only release five games per year, with the hope being that only the five best games per publisher...

I dropped out of comics twenty-some years ago, but Cavill would be a pretty good match for the super-mensch that it seems like Doom has been turned into. Furthermore, being a villain isn't as fulltime a job.

My $1k 12GB 3080 I bought in April doesn't feel great either. Ah well.

1) Backup QBs can be pretty expensive, and that contract basically pays him backup money until he's not the backup anymore. 2) As others mentioned, Jimmy and the team can agree to trade him to whatever team loses their qb in-season, vs getting nothing for releasing him now.

Even duller than Rambo: Last Blood. The twist is mildly interesting, but it is also the only possible twist from the narration given in the first two minutes. Not a terrible second screen option, but probably not worth your attention otherwise.

It's been like 30 years since I've seen either Fletch, but Fletch was not stupid himself, right? The personas he used were frequently morons, but he never was. Did the people involved confuse Fletch with Clark Griswold? And why the hell would you cast Slattery! Let's have the audience cringe...

That's a really reductive summary of the last decade and a half. It was blah blah blah Garrosh, _then_ blah blah blah Sylvanas.

Yeah, I hadn't purchased any expansions since Forsaken, so I: Booted into the 'Hive Queen now has ghosts!'... but exited out to fiddle with drivers, and came back to forcibly be in a different mission where Apparently Ikora is dead and I am following her ghost or regrets or something around on...

I don't even think Jeffrey Dean Morgan thinks of himself as 'lead actor from The Losers', or 'One of the many Thomas Waynes killed off in movies over the years' - something like 99.9% of the populace knows him from The Walking Dead.

I think I would probably play Mass Effect: Andromeda before this, but can't we just call it a prequel? This being crappier than even Saints Row 1 sounds extremely onbrand.

I really haven't played Destiny in years, and figured I would knock out some campaigns 'for free', but why did I get a set of 1540 Dreaming City-themed armor / assorted weapons? Do they have return boosts depending on what expansions you've bought in the past (if any?)

AFC Ravens Bills Chiefs Titans Patriots Chargers Bengals NFC Packers Eagles Rams Bucs Cowboys Cardinals 49ers Obviously I am least confident about the Packers. I don't see two teams getting slots in the NFC North regardless.

The completion REDCATED video is like 1/6th the space in the install. (The menu 'video' and TV clips are actually the majority of the install.) I've long lost the free time to go down itch.io rabbit holes, but it is amusing to see how much artwork and storyline flow are the only things you...

Far from home was _good_, but how much was nostalgia for the old movies? Structurally, its kind of a mess, relying on Ned being a better wizard as a noob (at least at sling rings) than the goddamn Sorceror Supreme, weird inclusion on villains (Electro knew Spiderman was Peter Parker, but didnt...

Almost always violence with their videos, I don't recall if they sufficiently blurred out some of the predator's dismemberments.

6 games against the rest of the AFC West and 4 against the NFC West? That aint the easiest material. Those AFC South games are another story. Actually, with the AFC South and an iffy NFC North for the NFC East, could we be looking at playoff spots for the Eagles and Cowboys? Ew.

Do we know if we will have to have an ATX 3.0 supply for these (or at least a PSU with a 12+4)? I bought a 3080 earlier this year so I personally am cool letting that shake out before I move to the 4000s.
