    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    You'll be shocked to learn that leftists hate it - "Real diversity can't be achieved by mathematically rating character attributes, only by dragging those pesky white males out into the street and clubbing them to death and replacing them with far more deserving people of color!"...

    I could keep going: Alien: Stopped after Aliens. Robocop: I have a soft spot for Robocop 2, but I would also have been fine had this stopped at original Robocop. Predator: I don't think Predators was bad (especially compared to modern reboots), but yeah, this could have stopped at the original...

    To be clear, hack frauds ruining our (in many cases, no more than glorified toy commercial) past isn't anything new, but the level of anti-nostalgia we've been building up is pretty impressive: Star Trek: Basically dead. Transformers: Michael Bay put this in a grave a decade and a half ago...

    Good lord, Rich explaining the contradictions in the storyline around 34 minutes in is basically indistinguishable from his Neal Breen Double Down monologue.

    IIRC, the 'accurate' breakdown (given the millennia of retranslations and rewrites) was White - External Invasion Red - Civil War Black - Famine Green - Disease (Kloros in Greek, as in Chlorophyll and Chlorine gas) So not only does Death not ride a pale horse, there isn't even a Death.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Hispanics, by and large, are like most immigrants - morally conservative (at least, to whatever beliefs they had back in the old country), but siding with Democrats for 'wealth sharing' while they get established. The more they get established, the less they're inclined to buy into the rest of...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Sometimes the NFL shocks me by not overpaying for every QB they can get. (Ironically, they decide not to gamble in Vegas.)

    Moon Knight

    I guess it's fine, but 1) Legion basically did everything better. 2) A trimmed down ~2hour 20 minute version of this would have been much better in movie form.

    YMS raises a lot of good points (as usual), but he could gave trimmed this down by not spending as much time pointing out 'the youth' are morons on youtube, as well as realizing that pro-forma Oscar ads are basically mandated by actors with recognizable names. (A print ad does not actually mean...

    Legion knockoff, absurd girl power levels, and padding out the 'Yeah, I was busy getting killed when your Dad died, sorry' conversation? Giant meh.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    This gen has had such shitty availability I haven't been keeping track: Is there any valid gaming reason to go with a 12GB 3080 over a standard 10GB?

    Marvel's Daredevil

    As someone who thought even the first seasons of DD and JJ started out great but got a little wheel-spinny, what's worth watching, Season 1 of everything (heavily skipping through Iron Fist) then finishing DD and Punisher's later seasons if I'm not burnt out?

    Moon Knight

    Marc needed Steven to give up control in the bathroom in the first episode as well. Easy enough to say that the more Steven is aware of reality, the harder it is for Marc to take control.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Thank god, the only thing people hate about Picard is the actors involved - finally we have thespians that can live up to the stellar quality of modern Trek's writing and production! Shouldn't they all be retired or admirals by now? Yeah, Generations could get away with saying 'Most of them...

    Bruce Willis retires

    It is a bummer. The most damning thing about the second RLM video is that Willis showed more charisma in his confused Luke Wilson blooper-that-was-kept-in than in all the Geezer movies combined. We just grew up in a golden age for action movies, and now it's over :\

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That's not quite accurate, Helm's Deep came out like eight and a half years ago, and its level cap of 95 is quite a bit off from the current 140. That said, the game (now with Premium Wallet for everyone!) gives you a mountain of content to go through at no cost. It's also worth noting that...

    I'd like to know how much this was impacted by covid problems, since the final product is really scattershot. C plots are introduced (the cyber investigator, black gal's management arc) with zero payoff, weird bits are brought up from the prior season to negative impact (the dead kid is brought...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Honestly, Seattle kind of needs Carroll to retire and a complete rebuild. The NFC West is a god damn meat grinder of a division, rebuild now and take over when the competition's salary cap gets out of hand. Also, with Wilson and Rodgers off the board, that doesn't leave a lot of QB options...

    Yeah, I didn't hate any of them (Akwafina was closest), but I also barely remember them a day later. Also, Andy Samberg wrote the best episode??!?

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    I admit I never bought into the myth of Joe Burrow, and thus while I think the Bengals could be in for a long string of playoff potential, I'm just not sold that they are reliably going to top the Chiefs, Bills, Titans, Patriots, Chargers, etc. The Rams got lucky their playoff push worked when...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    On one hand, that looks great, but it also looks like a preposterous amount of storylines they've crammed into this thing, between Mordo, Shuma Gorrath, however many Scarlet Witches, however many Dr Stranges, America Chavez, Prof X, etc., unless most of them are only in one scene.

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Invincible, The Boys, Upload, and (politics aside) Undone and Tales from the Loop. Expanse can't really be considered. That's not a great success rate, but that is a lot of genre shows.

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    To be fair, Big Ben retiring with two this season also contributes, but yeah, Brady and Belichick's dominance of an entire league will likely never be replicated in pro sports again. That said I can't imagine that stat will hold true for too much longer, between Mahomes, Allen, etc.

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I literally haven't followed the 2021 releases at all, but if recent trends persist, Dune wins the majority of technical awards (maybe + Cinematography), Power of the Dog the favorite for production / direction /screenplay with West Side Story the main competition (probably Costumes), with...

    Now that I have seen the rest, it just comes off as Diet Justified. It's fine, but I can't imagine ever watching (or possibly thinking) about Season 1 again.

    Only a couple episodes in, but all this has done so far is make me bitter the original Jack Reacher movie wasn't better received. The sequel sucks ass, mind you.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    All humor aside, games that use Windows 11's Direct Storage will release sooner or later. When I put together most of a PC recently (god damn video card shortages), I paid extra for the PCIe 4.0 M2 drive for future applications, not today, because why not.

    Seriously, was the original title "The Book Of Pedro Pascal's Contract Negotiations"? It also kind of says it all that once this show got rid of the title character, it improved dramatically.

    Short version: Videogames.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    That sucks, or that is so appropriate, that that is Jimmy's last throw as a 49er? You'd have to think that, given the Rams and Stafford, that the 49ers try to bring in a veteran (obv. Rodgers would be the #1 option).

    The 49ers are going to (hell, who knows, maybe winning) the Super Bowl with Jimmy G, then justifiably getting rid of him after the season? I mean, at least Dilfer was a backup.
