Wasn't it Villeneuve that dismissed all the sound complaints in an interview for BR2049, saying that his movies are tuned for the theater standard, and people with home systems don't have it set up right, or just have shitty equipment?

It would be difficult to convincingly age up the whole cast that much, but at the same time, none of them (outside of Avasarala) would be dead from old age yet. I wonder what the minimum amount of years they could get by with, and not ruin the story.

How big is the time jump from book 6 to 7? People, previously in the thread, made it sound like they would need a whole new cast of characters for book 7, 8 and 9, anyway. For non-book readers, who don't discuss this show on a message board, a whole new cast would probably cause a bunch of...

Some years ago, was talking with a LEO in one of the small burbs on Galveston Bay, off of highway 45, and he told me the same thing. He said they had a repeat offender on a crotch rocket, that would often run up and down 45, through their jurisdiction at 140+. They were advised not to chase...

If this is the case, it sounds like she knew her value (as THE female face of the company, promoted to try to calm the shitstorm), went in to negotiate a higher salary, and they flat out said no to anything. She called their bluff and whom ever decided not to play ball is now eating shit. She...

A few different issues with the show in the US, I imagine. Amazon doesn't really promote the UK shows they host, outside of Prime, and then it is only for a short time when it is released. For the show itself, the reviews paint a good picture for why is didn't take off. In large part it is...

I would assume that part of the issue the writers have, when they are bringing it closer to current times, is that they are afraid of stepping on the toes of people (politicos, oligarchs, & cartels) that have the power to hurt them (the producers, director, actors, crew, & writers). There were...

Iceland spoofing the Zuck, his launch of Meta, and the "Metaverse":

Full video in Video thread as well.

Two dudes in China destroying a huge Murder Hornet (Asian Giant Hornet) nest using a few plastic bottle traps and a pick.

(For Hard) My two fully buffed (by Angel/cleric & Brown Fur Arcanist (Dragon form 1/2/3:emoji_nose: pets were the MVPs for consistent damage and tanking. Sure, the MC could spike the damage, but the pets were always there, chewing shit up, never needing a rest (mostly). The rest of the party was full...

Any class can be any Mythic path, but the Lich and Angel interact with a few classes stronger than others (the spell books can combine to give a base casting level of 40, at cap). You do have to unlock all but the Angel/Demon path, though. Played the beta blind, and unlocked Lich by just...

Played on hard with an Angel/Cleric combined book and needed to have full buffs up for everything except the most basic of trash fights. There were a couple fights with full or heavy dispels that were super shitty.

Only the MC Lich/Arcane and Angel/Divine with a combined spell book can make round/level spells into 24 hour buffs at ~level 16. The min/max builds still skip those two mythic abilities (if you were going to replay on higher difficulty), since it is just a convenience, and not extra damage. As...

Both the MAS and intake cleaner are ~80% Acetone (a common oil based paint thinner/stripper), so if you got any on the can when you were spraying it, the label wont survive. It is also great for cleaning the oil and various car grease off your hands, but so is brake cleaner (if your hands are...

Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?

The vast majority of American shows defiantly try to turn the action and drama nobs to 11. There are a few foreign shows on streaming that might fit the bill; from what I remember, Babylon Berlin and Gomorrah are paced about the same as Sopranos, if you want to read subs. Of course The...

Depends on what you want to spend and what you want the profile to be. The top of the line cameras use capacitors instead of an internal battery (batteries can cause issues in high heat summers) or they use a remote SSD and battery, to keep it cooler mounted out of the sun. You can also get...

With Chaos (divided), I wasn't expecting Ogres to be in the base game once they announced Cathay. Are they considering Chaos just 1 faction, even if they have all different units? So instead of Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Kislev, and Cathay for a total of 6 factions (2 more than the...

Funny enough, this is a factual statement. Windmills and waterwheels allowed one tool to do the work of a 100 men, which in turn allowed more flour to be used to feed armies, not slaves/serfs. The society (Europe) that had widespread adoption of these tools saw a significant increase in their...

Wat?! The Beastmen look perfect for the upcoming crossover with Masters of the Universe, in season 2. Kevin Smith can be brought in to kick it up a notch!

Sure, most streamers are just as bad as anything the Kardashians put out, but I often wonder how much is just selection bias. Before "modern" society, there were still plenty of people doing plenty of stupid shit. PT Barnum made a fortune off of this type of behavior. As long as production as a...

You can find growers that will sell frozen fruit and mail them too you in a cold pack. That is purportedly the best way to get them. You cut them up into small slices and let them sit on your tongue. They always sounded interesting, but never tried one. They are supposed to do a bunch of neat...

Wat? You think people before the internet were magically productive with all their time?! In the cities they sat around on their porches watching the Car/horses go by. Out in the country they sat around the table playing solitaire or cracking walnuts/pecans while waiting for the corn to grow...

When I rewatched season 5 a few months ago, I just fast forward almost every Naomi part and it improved the quality of the season immensely. It seemed like more on the first watch, but it was only about 15% of the season (maybe?). I didn't mind the Marco stuff, even if Philip is a bit annoying.

If you already have HBO, you could gift a month to a few people. I don't know if you can use paypal, but you should be able to use the 1 time credit card "gift cards." Sign someone up using their email account, then immediately cancel, for a 30 day gift and a small bump for Dune. The HBO Max...

Doesn't look like anything to me.

I only have layman's knowledge of the subject and it gets far too dry and complicated to spend too much time on it. So, here is Astrophysicist Matt O'Dowd talking about it, time stamped to 7:58, where he briefly talks about the uncertainty principle. As always, theoretical Physics is an...

Does HBO have a "reason for canceling" box when you end a sub? I am going to sub for a month or three and want to put "here for Dune and Curb" as a reason. I forgot if I saw one after I canceled when Chernobyl was over.

This is true, in a way (according to particle physics). If you knew where every particle in the universe was, you could predict the future and know the past with 100% accuracy. Conservation of information means all that data is out there still. All you need is a computer the size of the...

Angel Oracle (Battle w/ reach wep) for the first half the game. At around level 10, I respeced to caster Angel Cleric with a mount when I saw the Angel nuke was hitting everything for 200+. Angel is rather tedious with the buffs, but the party/pets were crazy strong as long as they didn't get...

I had a small amount of hope that Paradox could pull off some kind of miracle with this game, when it was in early development, but all hope disappeared when they fired MCA. So now this is more like a watch the train wreck thread (like star citizen) than anyone thinking something good will come...

No Mark Hamel as Joker and no Keven Conroy as the Bats, automatic negative 1 deduction. No Martian Manhunter either, which is another negative 1 point deduction. So, a solid 5/10 it is then.

Seems inevitable once they announced this fucked up release schedule and streaming on HBO. 1080 Webrip got leaked early.

TLDR: Paradox gave this game to a new studio, but came close to just shitcanning the whole project. Same as above (source): Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Hasn't Been Cancelled... Yet

Until last patch, gold dragon maybe one of the weaker paths (or just one of the most bugged); so the meta gamers don't seem to be making builds for them yet. That said, from what I saw, Gold Dragon is all about stats and talents, so it looks like the best synergy is a talent heavy melee...
