That's what I thought, but why bother having 35mm and 70mm showings? Just do 70mm showings and be done with it. Would love to see Hateful Eight get a re-release like that. Movie is mind-bogglingly good-looking at times.

TLDR: I like you, but I disagree on women popping up in games. If there's a particular part you want me to spell out and explain with more words, I can do that.

Need advice on an antibiotic dose. Got prescribed Amox-Clav (500-125) for a really bad/painful infection. Despite that (apparently) being a large dose, it went on and on and the pain was horrendous for over a week. Ran out of the first dose and the pain was down to about 30% of where it started...

I did a solo Ramza playthrough once on the PS1. It was a lot of fun. It's surprising how easy it is to break the game and turn Ramza into an uber death machine. Had to do a lot of the grinding before Dorter Trade City though, because of the casters. By halfway through the game he was a...

Except that millions of people on the left actually think that's what MAGA is. A bunch of cartoonish super-nazis that want to have them all killed for their identity or beliefs. ...which makes it really easy for the left to cheer on when those cartoonish evil people are actually being killed...

Full article: https://variety.com/2025/film/news/one-battle-after-another-liberal-critics-bret-easton-ellis-1236545512/ He's right. A movie with antifa-like revolutionaries as the protagonists isn't "what we need in this terrifying moment" like all the critics seem to be saying. If anything...

What's the difference between 35mm and 70mm? And yeah, I'm overdue for a rewatch of Kill Bill, but I'll definitely wait for this theater showing now. 4 hours in a theater is gonna be a bit of an ask in this era of short attention spans so it'll be interesting to see if they add an intermission...

Agreed with all of these. The Ezio trilogy (AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations) is the high point of the series, and what you should play first unless you hate Renaissance Era Italy for some reason. Can get all 3 of them in one game now. I wasn't that into Revelations but it's the culmination...

I haven't really gotten into one of these since Battlefield 4 in 2014, but if we've got air battles and tanks, goddammit, I'm gonna have to get this one.

That sort of thing only bothers me when it's historically-inaccurate. Like women fighting for an army that wouldn't have had women in it in a million years, yes, that does take me out of the immersion. If the issue is only that you don't like women in these games, then I'd say get over it...

Yeah, Shadows would be good if it focused on Naoe and left out Yasuke entirely. Guy didn't seem fun to play as and I didn't even get as far as having to sneak around (or try to). AC Mirage is pretty solid. Old-school AC game with old-school objectives, takes about 15 hours give or take a few...

This have a campaign? I'm one of the weirdoes that plays the campaigns. BF3 and 4 had really good ones, BF5 didn't have a campaign at all IIRC.

That was an exaggeration, I doubt it took me an hour to do the last fight. It just felt like an hour. I insisted on making it through the fight without losing any characters, so it took 3 tries. The minions spamming Bioga the entire way up was an issue for my party, since nobody had Auto-Potion...

Had the opportunity to try out AC Shadows last night. No, I didn't buy it. Thoughts on it, having played around 2 hours: -The game should have just been Naoe. She was charismatic and likeable. Also she's, ya know, Japanese, and not tied to a historical figure. I played as Yasuke for like five...

Isn't it hilarious how that side gets so up in arms about the J6 "insurrection" all the time while simultaneously rooting for a complete dismantling of the American government and way of life, which would require an actual insurrection?

I dunno what Dark Ties is, but it's about time they did a Kiwami 3. The last one was seven years ago (Jesus). Unfortunately Yakuza 3 is kinda in the lower tier of the series along with 4 and 6. Found it fairly boring. It's super-heavy on plot and Kiryu's social life at the orphanage. Doubt I'll...

Yeah I'm nowhere near done rounding up Eastwood movies, that was like half of my existing list. Ennio soundtracks are great. Really liked The Thing and Hateful Eight (which is heavily inspired by The Thing and uses unused music from it). Wait, man with no name trilogy? TGTBATG had sequels...

I heard that the guy that played Scorpio in DH1 was also the guy that played Garak in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 25 years later. Woah. Funny thing is, I'm also watching Deep Space Nine as of late. Dead Pool thoughts: -Really liked this one. Was worried after 4 that the series was pretty much...

Only time consuming things were the poaching trophies, Deep Dungeon, and the "max all jobs" trophy. I recommend doing the rare items from poaching throughout chapter 4, as things like dragons and hydras become available. Recruiting the pig in that one Chapter 3 fight makes the trophy a snap by...

This is a concern of mine too, that if the zealots win (due to lack of pushback and people being afraid of them, no doubt, which for a while was the case) and succeed in dismantling American culture, then we might have a future where roving bands of weirdoes go around checking people's histories...

All done, thanks massive sinus infection that had me laid up for 4 straight days!

^ The Russia/Ukraine thread on FOH, in a nutshell

I think it's 10 different rare items, so you can't just farm ten Barettes unfortunately. However, there are like 18 rare items from 18 different enemy types, and some are common drops (meaning some of the monsters have both rare and common carcasses you can use, and you'd need two of those...

I've been slowly going through DS9 for like the past seven years. Up to early Season 6 so I should be done by 2030. Would really like to bang out the last two seasons, keep getting distracted every time I start though. Young Raj also knew these movies. The actress was Krista Allen and she was...

Way too accurate

This actually looks interesting. "Set in a time where dragons still existed within living memory" is what got me, as someone who often wonders what kinds of craziness occurred over the 200 to 900 thousand (depending on who you ask) years of human history that we don't have access to. So the guy...

"Consume product and wait for next product" is what the average person is trained to do, while "promote social cause and wait for next social cause" is what the militant class (like the devs of this game) are trained to do. It is what it is at this juncture, the cycle continues

By "rare type" egg monsters, that'd be like...red chocobo, or red dragon? Damn, I fired a few red chocobos earlier during the great purge. Have a red dragon, at least. So I need ten of these rare carcasses to get the trophy, I take it? This is gonna take a while, if I have to wait for ten red...

Found it, Duma is in this "Souls of Destiny" romhack. This romhack looks kind of nutso. And yeah, Duma is also in FF14 Stormblood. Any other cut Lucavi in that? I wouldn't know any others even if I saw them, Duma is the only one I know for sure was dummied out.

There was a rom hack that added two-player to Secret of Evermore. My first girlfriend, who wasn't into video games at all, liked SoE and liked the dog, and wanted to try it. So I got the romhack and we did two-player and it was awesome. She actually got into it and was running around biting...

Anyone know what romhack it is that adds back in the dummied-out Lucavi fights? For example, the late-game Algus fight is added back in and he uses the Taurus stone to turn into Duma. Some other version (PSP?) adds the Algus fight back into the game, but he doesn't have the Lucavi form...

When you restart the fight you don't keep anything you got from it, though, right? Wondering about this rare caracass farming thing because the "ten rare items from poaching" trophy is one of the few I have left and I have no idea how to even go about doing that. Never bothered with poaching at...

Since people are talking about other tactics games, I'mma rank all the tactics games I've played real quick, off the top of my head, might give someone an idea of what to play next if they like this. Not counting the Fire Emblem/Advance Wars/Shining Force games because IMO they're their own...

Yo it's great to hear somebody besides me point out that FFT Advance is a pile of shit. Lot of people like it for some reason. The Disney plot is shit, the slow battles are shit, the bright happy visuals are shit... And most of all, the card system is UTTER DOGSHIT. Every fight has some...

Teleporting Ramza outside the wall during the one-on-one with Gafgarion was one of my favorite ways to gimp the game back in the day. Not so much in this version now that Teleport is so ridiculous to acquire. That fight can be pretty hard if Ramza has to fight Gafgarion one-on-one and isn't in a...

For me it's less "politics" and more "culture". At this point I'm really interested in gleaning where the cultural zeitgeist was at when I watch an old movie. So I pay attention to what year it was and what messages it sends about the state of culture, attitudes, etc at the time. The first...

So the idea is that the shots are more "genuine" if they aren't retake #7 and they just use the first one? That or Eastwood is just lazy. I'm definitely a big fan of Clint now, so I've made a list of his movies and I'm going to check them all out. Might try to go chronologically if it isn't too...

I'd say it handled all those things well. Yeah, Dirty Harry 2's villains were a bunch of corrupt cops that were murdering people outside of the justice system. However, the movie didn't demonize them by having them be psychopaths or anything, and made it a point that the guys they were killing...

Oh yeah, that's another huge part of what I like about this series. Being brought back to the way things were before things went to shit (literally). The beginnings of that decline can be seen here, with the movies frequently portraying the local government as clueless and more worried about...

Been watching the Dirty Harry series for the first time, after 40 years on Earth. Goddamn, more people need to know/talk about these. I've only seen the first three (of five) but they're probably the most enjoyable movies I've watched in years. A cop doing his job and having to deal with a...
