    Deathstalker (2025)

    Haha what a franchise to reboot.

    If they handle the Mule they way they did in the book, it will make a lot of sense in the end of this arc. So far it looks like they are mostly on that track.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If the dude was a virgin at 30, he was the one with the issues, not you. And your soon to be ex not wanting to kiss should have been a red flag all along pointing at his level of respect for you and your marriage. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Plus everyone is awkward at intimacy...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Mr Right, yeah thats going to take some work and you should be selective ESPECIALLY with your self esteem concerns. My Right Now? Well thats in the bag if you want that. Just keep the body count as low as you can until you are ready to get serious again.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Jeet noticing helped me land my current role. The previous Poos the had were so fucking terrible the entire department got broomed over it and they went out of their way to hire some experienced guys with proven track records. This was five years ago, but even then you needed a good contract...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Unfortunately invasion griefers are just how it is. The best advice I can give is to always have a way to cheese them based on what level you are. Assuming no twinking going in, the best option for early levels is going to be a plain old club or the estoc handaxe combo. Mid levels, the...

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Fucking travesty that this gets cancelled because the Mouse is feeling the pinch but shit like Ironheart and Acolyte still got pushed out. When it finally got around to the shit that the DEI hires did not fuck up, this last season was some of the best Marvel content in years.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We just do not want to see you get fucked over again. Remember, empathy is the enemy. And not to sound all paranoid, but going over the papers with him because "me got no lawyer" and then next day his lawyer suddenly gets back to him sounds shady as shit to me. This person is a mooch who is...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Not an insult, but this is a reflection of your blackpill Patrick Bates mentality. Thats fine, you do you. Not all of us have such a rigid and spartan outlook, however. Also for most (non black) women, seeing a dudes pad look like a prison cell is kind of a red flag. That would be an...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My shit are things that I have accumulated over the course of my entire life with a lot of memories attached to it. Our house is a gaming den that reflects out hobbies and projects we have done over the years. I was into the whole Tyler Durden existance when I was in my twenties, but I like...

    Clearly he needs somewhere to organize his funko pop collection and Pokemon cards.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    IF he is making these kinds of threats in this passive aggressive manner, then that means he absolutely is going to ask for that at some point. He probably thinks he is being clever discouraging you from getting a lawyer while he consults one. And each time you roll over on something you are...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    This year is going to be hard to predict. Easy choice is the Eagles, but last time they won a SB they had a complete meltdown after. Chiefs now have that Patriots problem where the mystique is broken and guys are looking to get paid. You can make a good argument for a lot of teams to have a...

    Lee Pace has been killing it the entire series with his portrayals of the different versions of Day, You could credibly argue that Pace and the actress playing Demerzel are single handedly carrying the whole thing. Wife and I watched the first couple episodes of S3 and our reaction was pretty...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    I don't get all the edge lording on this, but it was not spectacular either. Honestly the missed opportunity here is is they in fact are retconning the Kryptonians as conquerors, why not use the Power Girl version of Supergirl. She is way more interesting than Kara Danvers version and would...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    What they should do is go out and get some of the OG devs who worked on New Vegas. A lot of those guys are available, now the In Exile is mostly tanking. Even with the bugs and shooter RPG aspects, New Vegas was arguably one of the best games of all time.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    So much this. Plus the executive culture pushing for this shit do not have the faintest idea of the costs and effort of adopting AI, let alone of its capabilities and limitatiions. They just see the second coming of outsourcing and a lot of companies are going to murder themselves like what...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I would say that if you are close to retirement (like withiin 10ish years) and have lots of experience, you are golden. The middle manager parasite class has figured out that they need at least a couple of old white guys know know how shit works and cannot rely completely on Poos. They have...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    The only thing he has going for him is his higher base HP, but he can't take hits in the end game encounters as well as the real tanks (or dodge masters) can, so it does not matter. As a 40k player, I hated the Cheese Wolves but I actually feel bad for the NPC in this game for being so weak...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    There is only one story DLC left and its a ways out. Probably worth doing a seperate heretic run for that one, if you have not already gone down that road. I actually got into the quest line of the arbites DLC and it is short but solid. It lacks the depth and full story integration of Void...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Fairly far into a new run of this with the DLC. The Void Shadows was well done in every area except balance on some of the fights. The hall trash encounters that are part of it have enemies with over 600hp that have lots of movement and can reliably gank softer characters in a single turn...

    The Running Man

    Its an Edgar Wright movie which means a certain vibe and pacing. I doubt they will go with the book ending, but I would love it if they did. This trailer is giving me more of a Baby Driver vibe, which I think is a good thing.

    The Running Man

    Book was actually excellent but there is no way in hell they do the ending as remotely close to written as I would like, because current year. Edgar Wright can do no wrong in my eyes, so gonna roll the dice on this one.

    We played on side by side consoles. We have three tvs in our bedroom, which we nicknamed the reality deprivation chamber.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I got Night Reign along with the wife to play together, as we did a co-op play of ER together (the base game anyhow) thinking this was going to be casual friendly and more like the Dragon Age MP. Combat is not an issue, but the frantic run around and ignore most of the content is completely...

    Dating

    Forward intel and engagement is always good, but fundamentally people lie about a lot of things, especially themselves even to themselves. Putting yourself out there is always going to be a risk. Mustering the resolve to get back out there is a major step in moving forward and one a lot of...

    Dating

    There is a difference between looking for Mrs Right vs Mrs Right Now. I think we can all agree on that. That said getting back on the proverbial horse as it were by bar trawling is not the worst idea, especially if you have been out of the market for a long time. Getting that first base hit...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    The story characters you got early (or who had decent class setups) had a leg up and this was indeed a positive for Mustadio, but concentrate combine with his gun abilities made him a major force late game as well. And yeah Chocobo Mounted Mustadio plus W8 could solo the game, but then again...

    Watchmen (2009)

    If we wanted an AI's take on something we would google it ourselves. The point is getting your actual opinion in your own words so we can debate a topic instead of a search engine.

    Watchmen (2009)

    This is easily in my top five superhero movies of all time, if not at the top of the list. They altered the ending of the comic, but frankly the movie ending is better. All around great acting and as close to perfect translation of the source material as you would ever see. Schneider's best...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I preordered it, but then I already have a group set to play with. I dont really maintain a gaming PC anymore, but even if I did console is where I would be due to it filtering out the cheaters and being able to be a couch potato and enjoy speed runs is nice.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have relatives over for a week so I probably will not get to play much if at all. But I have a premade group of local friends we intend to hit it hard with on PS5. I enjoyed the coop play in ME2 and Dragon Age and hope it has the same feel to it. Nice bite sized monster murder runs seem...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah even with the DLC she is by far the hardest boss, even if you summon pals. She requires specific approaches, good reads, and fast timing to take down. If you are a tanky guy and want to solo her (or at least just use ash and no player help), the fingerprint shield is a must. For a weapon...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Vikings are a shit show and the Bears.... are still the bears. Realistically, we have three actually tough to the point of near auto loss games in our out of division (Eagles, Clit Commanders, and Ravens), so how we do is going to boil down to improving on that horrific in division record from...

    I turn my camera on for key meetings that have been scheduled in advance and I even dress up for them to a degree, hoping the zoomers get the fucking hint about professionalism. They tried that shit on us both at DHS and at my current gig. The DHS one got killed in the crib for anyone in a...

    For a masterclass on how to fuck everything up, go do a deep dive on Sandy Peterson Games.

On Kickstarters in general, I have...

    Well girlboss hand to handing zombros with her Burger King diversity meal pals while being systematically hunted down by the potato, all with teen drama and message virtue signaling? You are basically describing a CW show at that point.

    This is with professional grade makeup. That girl fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Not her fault, but the reality is that she does not have the talent to overcome that limitation.

    The Last of Us

    They hired her because people fawned over her being a retard in GoT. What no one realized is she really was not acting and never has. You can get away with not being able to act if you are attractive, but alas she has epic levels of Derp Face, no acting ability, and a toxic personality that...
