    Shower Thoughts

    Unless the water heater in my building is shitting the bed, I generally spend a few minutes contemplating things while water hits the back of my head. Largely the drought in California and how to best handle it. Or why the chinese h1b's across the hall always cook the same thing every day...

    I've got characters on a couple of the realms, and unless you are specifically looking for a high end Dungeon Finder experience, you are going to have a pretty similar experience on just about every server. Especially with all the random queue stuff incorporating blocks of servers. If you are...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If the Yuuzhan Vong are never referenced again, I will be just as happy as if midichlorians are never referenced again. Both were absolutely retarded concepts. Thrawn was great, but much outside his works were pretty horrifically bad.

    After the injuries in Dallas, I'm pretty sure that pundits were scared about a sub .500 team making it to the playoffs. You know, after the injuries.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Theoretically the jedi were becoming complacent, and there was a lot of "legend" shit happening in the prequels that was thought to be leading to them being destroyed. Like any good prophecy/legend, it's mostly bullshit, so they let their own destruction in through the front door. Not exactly...

    Rofl, yeah, slap the ball out of a player's hands when they are about to run out of time. Great idea! Clowncar is revving up! Edit - Oh even better, don't spike the ball and instead take a knee.

    His diet appears to be working (even though 50% means he was eating like a powerlifter but pushing papers all day prior) and he's losing weight. The walking might keep him out of the fridge but it's just not an effective tool for weight loss. Better than sitting and eating Ben and Jerry's...

    Stoked about Gate and Grimgar. They are the only major standounts for me at first glance. Will probably give Ajin a try as well, then see how the rerolled review squad suggests as the season goes on.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Walking itself isn't bad, but it also isn't really that good. That's pretty much the only real issue with it. It's more of a placebo than any sort of intentional weight loss mechanic. Even a light jog is substantially superior. There can be reasons why people don't get into weight lifting...

    Steam dun fucked up

    I always love looking at the norse attack maps during these. I haven't changed from my library, but no warning emails about purchases or anything so eh, doesn't really affect me yet. - though apparently the Robotech missile attacks coming from China are not the cause!

    Depends largely on which Silva shows up. The "I'm going to molest you, gently" version or the "I'm going to fuck around and get KO'd by bullshit" version. Hell, given his off-time, maybe neither shows up and Baron manages to further ruin a soberly great career. Lot of factors at play.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Kylo isn't Vader, and Rey isn't Luke. Why are we making these comparisons, aside from just having something to do? Kylo is -clearly- conflicted as fuck in his portrayal, while Vader's conflict only appears at the end. Rey lived a life of darwinism compared to luke hanging out at his "Uncle's...

    The Martian (2015)

    Yeah, it is definitely further touched on in the book when he is riding for the last bit. If you audiobook it or do the paper (or digital!) read version, you really should enjoy the written text. It honestly just makes the movie better. You'll hate that it did a better job (lawl, what...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I thought it made sense, to a degree, that Kylo wasn't able to best Rey even having been "better." He had just killed his pappy and while he's partially on the dark side this isn't like instant level up mode. It most likely -will- be in the next movie to a degree, when he starts shitting on...

    The Hateful Eight

    Most the sound track would be the backing for the chapter cards hah. Long silence breaks while exposition happens for pretty much the entire film, with "montages" being really the only sound backing. I'm not really versed in film-nerd crap, butPretty awesome.

    I'd definitely agree with Iannis. Physically assembling your own rig isn't difficult at all, and with ZIF slots you don't even have to deal with the fun of hearing the light crunch of cpu pins sliding in. Which when you hear it for the first time you generally think you fucked up! Now they...

    Can't argue with that! Between blue/red scrips and how they have lain out their endgame, it is the absolute definition of "grind" tropes in videogames.

    Sat down and watched the Cowboy fight. That was really clean and sad. Dos Anjos legit defended, in a championesque way. Has there been word of a possible rematch? I wanted Cerrone to win, but even he admits he didn't do a good job in the ring.

    The Hateful Eight

    Slept on it, still a solid movie. The third act learning experience was solid, and Goggins absolutely killed. It started to lean towards deus ex machina territory, but righted itself with enough time to spare. Really enjoyable flick, and I didn't realize I spent almost 3 f'n hours watching...

    You "could" grind in front of Florem in chapter 3 or 4, but it wasn't really game changing. When you "should" grind is much later in the game, Once I realized the nature of the game in the latter half, I sat down and ground out max levels on everyone, then turned off encounters and just...

    The Anima weapon stuff is par for the course, really. Now, the requirement of doing Chimera and the hard modes for the first one were pretty difficult for "solo" players etc when it first was implemented, but it definitely became much easier over time. The zodiac weapons were neat and...

    I'm not really a fan of stretching before a workout (get the torches!) but man, stretching the day after a heavy lifting experience before you get that second day soreness blitz helps immensely. You don't need to go all crazy using foam rollers and shit (but you should!) but just flexing and...

    Theoretically, but you aren't making full use of the 5ghz band by any margin. If there is dust in the air, you are losing bandwidth. If you have a microwave anywhere within range, you aren't going to get the full bandwidth. It's a theoretical max throughput concept on that channel, that in...

    Had to look the term up, because I didn't realize there was a term for the soreness that exists after working out for the first time in forever. Arms are definitely the worst, specifically triceps. You don't realize how much you use those bastards until they are almost too weak to support...

    Basically he's the reason Guts/Casca survive that entire event. And he's shown a few times prior to build up his ability. It's my only complaint about the original early 2ks series; without the skull knight you have no forward progression. The Golden Age arc stuff has him in it, and looks...

    Fall 2015 Anime Thread

    Eh, the original anime omitted a major character, the Skull Knight. Like he's literally the catalyst for a ton of shit happening in the story, and without him it ends like it did in the original 2000s anime. The Golden Age Arc actually has the character, and if they move forward with them, can...

    Ah, that's not much of a nerf, but it is a nerf! Granted, there was a bit more involved in the first steps of the original relic (not sure if you ever did, since you hated on it so hard~) like the Chimera fight, and having to craft a specific "end game" weapon with specific materia in it...
