    Bridgerton

    Yeah, while I was sick my wife watched this in the room with me. I woke up to Mad king George and the Black Queen and couldn't figure out why many British nobles were black. Even explained, I still didn't get the seeming large numbers in the mix. When I saw the Shondaland production card...

    48CXs don't go on sale, sadly, or at least they never have: Not even once. The 55s have been 300+ cheaper on occasion and the 48CXs never budge.

    The Little Things (2021)

    It wasn't that I didn't understand, it was that I didn't believe what I was seeing: After all that bullshit, it was like "THIS IS THE ENDING YOU CHOSE? AND THAT IS WHY HE REALLY LEFT?"

    Dune (2020)

    So one can hope that the Woke Garbage is limited but chances are small that "modern sensibilities" are scaled back so you don't have some serious Grrl Pwer!!! moments. /sad

    The Little Things (2021)

    Agree with consensus here. It's the Anti-Seven. Lots of great set up, and I thought it was going to be 7.5-8.5 movie, rather than ending as a 3-5 at best. Absolutely terrible ending. Lots of great acting. I just gd love Denzel on the screen.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    They could sell the rights to a cage match with Zack Snyder to adapt another Alan Moore Project. That's the only way these fools are going to make A) a good movie B) money other than nostalgia.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    They had the right systems in place for Origins but it wasn't refined enough until Odyssey. I tried to play Origins after playing Odyssey as my first AC game in forever and it was just too much of a step back. It was all there but just wasn't as much fun. I keep meaning to go back and finish...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisibles All quibbling about where did the story come from aside, no story springs fresh into the minds of its creators. George Lucas didn't just invent Star Wars out of whole cloth, although it was much more fresh in its creation than the Matrix ("The...

    New World

    I can think of all of the smaller MMOs who might have survived or maybe even prospered if they had something like Lumberyard and EC2/AWS around to host their Games on back in the day when it was the Genre of Choice.

    After all of the alpha/betas/closed betas of the last 20 years, I think I would just rather play at launch. All the tweaks and huge swings have brought such disappointment over time, I just want the finished product to be good.

    I definitely had the [Kiss-- Dialogue] Option as a Male V for River. Edit: Now I read where they didn't go anywhere. At least I didn't have to go try it to find out.

    As much as I dislike the stuff in here about politics, I'm OK with this. This isn't about politics, nor is it even making negative fun of Bernie or his ideology, really. It's just a zeitgeist moment. "Nighthawks" is one of my favorite pieces of art. He doesn't even ruin it.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I am the same age now as my Grandfather when I was born. I have several friends who had kids in their early-mid 20's who also just had kids in their early-mid 20's. Me with my 9 year old daughter who has all the toys and can't imagine a time before streaming, the long ago time of 2008 when...

    Thanks so much! So when I asked "Are the weapons mastered with use? Do you invest points in them ala skill trees?" the answer was: Yes!

    Vega was a bro, it was Cortez that was the ho. I forgot what it was like to play these games back when Bioware wasn't pushing Agendas. I don't even care if there are Rainbow Romances in games, (everyone wants to bang) just don't make me feel like the gym teacher is coming on to me with the...

    So let me ask my questions here because I am excited to talk about this new dumb game now: Are the weapons mastered with use? Do you invest points in them ala skill trees? What's a good resource to read up on the game's systems? I should probably just look back in the thread but that's too...

    Well, fair play, but my intent was something that you could also do some 1080p gaming with. And I did say *almost* nothing. That was the only kind of thing they have on Microcenter shelves in town, and Best Buy seemed to be no better. What I originally intended was to buy a current gen...

    "I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive...

    Holy sh*t, I was looking to buy almost any kind of video card to have something to troubleshoot with as a put together a few PCs. There is almost nothing available to me to buy, like 1050 TIs, I guess, and seemingly even less locally in a major metro region. Unbelievable the levels of nothing...

    Here is the M. Night Shamalamadingdong ending: They didn't! They worked them to death and didn't feed them, and then tried to mass exterminate them, and then when that didn't work, they locked them in the camps to die and fled west. That's why they looked like emaciated skeletons when the...

    Well, don't take this the wrong way, but that's patently obvious. Of course that is the default position. We wouldn't need to ask if it weren't. Foler isn't asking, is he? This election is to me a "all bets are off/reconsidered" event. To be fair, I would be for leniency in any event.

    Look, there are all kinds of things you can say about Foler: That is he on my ignore list is not one of them. Regardless of how tired I got of the "Trust the Plan" Shtick, I think he is an overall addition to the forum. He's good for a laugh and occasionally makes a cogent point. I would...
