I would be careful with empathy. Toxic empathy is how we got things like feminism and cancel culture. Impulse control and the ability to process the concept of future consequences, on the other hand, would likely have the effect you are after. I am also curious to see what might have happened...

The kill Hitler thing is dumb because compared to Stalin and the promotion of Marxism on a world wide scale, he is small potatoes. If you want to save the world from a great evil, cutting communism out at the root is the way you would do it, probably by taking a bunch of drones with you and...

Its your dollar, but it really is the best Marvel movie other than No Way Home since IW and will probably be the last good Marvel movie for the foreseeable future. And to answer Astro's question, I will be watching this again. The other two have been regular rewatches for me and I don't see...

The torture porn is extremely tame by James Gunn standards (Super, Brightburn, and Slither were all far more visceral), but it is being done to animals so it triggers the feels much more. When people are saying its dark, its mostly about the tone of the movie especially, in the earlier parts...

I have a ton of CDs and Vinyl on top of tons of movies on DVD, Blue Ray, and even a couple HD DVD. Anything that does not already exist in streaming gets ripped to our NAS as does anything we frequently rewatch (DS9, 70s Show, BSG being the main ones) which has clouded backups for our key...

I've been doing exactly this for a while now, especially with older obscure movies that might just be outright yanked from public accessibility. Sad that it has come to this, but history must be preserved from Fahrenheit 451 Firemen.

Really the weakest MK since they started doing story mode is probably the one where they tried to create the "kids" taking over trope. None of the characters were really interesting except maybe Cassie Cage, but that had more to do with her parents and AB voice acting the character...

Cut out the faggot hobbit pillow fight and trim down the drawn out horse ride to the docks with the elven ships and the last movie improves immeasurably. Most of my gripes, if I am being honest, are the lack of Tom Bombadil and the omission of the Razing of the Shire.

OG SW trilogy falls in the standings on the basis of Ewoks alone.

LOTR is good, but it drags. Plus the thirty minute gay feelies at the end of the third film did it no favors.

Back to the Future is the odd good trilogy where the middle movie is by far the weakest part. Its easy to forget since it happened in the pre internet rage days, but people were actually salty when P2 ended with a To Be Continued and trailer for Pt3 at the time in theatres. Its still a very...

LotR kind of fumbled the ending and has some really boring slogs, but as a matter of opinion and taste I cannot argue. Back to the Future is a good one, though, and has aged extremely well along with having far reaching impacts on pop culture.

We like to think we were all MMO rockstars back in the day who only guilded with people we were tight with, but thats some nostalgia shit. The reality is we put up with all sorts of degenerate and antisocial fucktards to get our dopamine hit of EQ. Here is a mental checklist of toxic people...

I platted ER a month ago finally, but had been focusing on 3d printing a homebrew tabletop game. Now I am replaying Tactics Ogre Reborn on the L path. New games suck so much.

Synology NASes are pricey, but really good. We have an 8 bay with all the bells and whitles, including duel NICs assigned to both my main subnets in the house. Thing runs Plex like a champ (we even stream our music and blue ray rips over the internet/cellular when travelling) along with a...

This bring back any memories? Also you would probably be amazed at how many international companies suck at automating even basic shit. Or maybe not, if you are jaded enough I guess. I work for a company with international presence and our Identity Management is the biggest bunch of African...

I liked it a lot, but I also liked the second one the most of them all which is not a popular take. Biggest issues are Him being shoehorned in and simply having too much to cram into an already long movie. But aside from No Way Home, it's probably the best Marvel movie since Infinity War by a...

Maybe there is a crystal ball only fans network happening in these worlds.....

Rome took a long time to fall, but that is a good point.

Fair enough, but I maintain that anyone who thinks societies composed of mostly evil individuals cannot function does not really know or understand much of human history. All a society needs are shared values, even if they are immoral and even in a western society. Nazi Germany had plenty of...

Nice to see you come around and be both based and optimistic. Never thought I would live to see a day where your opinion of fellow humans was higher than mine. I am actually being sincere, btw.

You literally bitch about how at LEAST half of our own country is evil and I will go out on a limb and assume you think worse of Islamic countries and likely Russia. Our county is the youngest of that batch (unless you want to call the CCP and Russia different nations) and all are operating...

Good quick quirky movie elevated by great casting. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of old school Dracula easter eggs in there too.

I hate HR at our company. Our whole ID management starts with them in Workday, but only they have visibility into it and they make stupid typos entering shit into it ALL the fucking time. And then it takes me hours to unfuck because of all the fucking duck tape and binder twine holding all our...

I do, but only because the fucking millennial tards that report to me will keep chatting at me when I am on the shitter. I still reply on the shitter, but at least they only bug me if its really important.

The real issue is the writing and the woke infection (started partly during the early days of New Who and exploded out of control right before Nurse Who got rolled out) and no amount of special effects budget is going to fix that. Just ask the bean counters for Star Trek Discovery and Ant Man 3.

That will change once they introduce Druckman's gigantor character.

To be fair, Margit is a bit of a fuck you for long time Souls vets too, with the hyper aggressiveness and multiple feinting that is all over this game, compared to its predecessors. Basically, if you were a vet used to shit like Last Giant, Phalanx, or similar first real bosses, Margit is a...

Endgame had a number of issues. Its where they started really pushing the Message big time and it took what was a very dynamic and relatable bad guy and turned him into a one note rubber monster bad guy. Plus the unsubtle cherry on that shit was the aforementioned pushing Captain Cuntface into...

My guess is that he was meant to be a quest NPC at some point but got cut due to time limitations (similar to the Mimic Tear quest line being dumped).

Another thing to consider is that vets of the series are probably good enough with the mechanics to fight the harder shit under leveled. That being said, some areas are simply just gear checks with the mob mechanics and Caelids giant dogs and birds are in that category. The other reason to...

On a new game, I sneak up there in Caelid as soon as I can swing a bleed weapon to gank that sleeping dragon and get the higher level smithing stones near it. Once that is done, I finish all of the Lake Region up to the lift before I ever come back. Most of it, aside from a couple of the...

Thrawn, Vader, Palpatine, and some randos from Legends books are about it for actual competent Imp people in cannon. There's a lot of name dropping about the ISB, but until Andor we really did not get much exposure to them. You can't lump Moff Tarkin in with the good ones because he was the...

Praetorian history in official movies and shows is pretty piss poor, for certain. I mean, you get to see them in ROTJ for the first time, but they don't actually do anything. Then in the prequels they get snuffed out instantly by Yoda. The ones guarding Snoke get smoked almost instantly, too...

The heist of the Imp cruiser (same one Axe lawn darted in the last ep) was a season two episode. Season one did not really have a lot of space stuff outside of the rescue the murder hobo from Republic jail episode.

Inconsistencies of power and tech is a problem that permeates scifi in general, but has always been an issue in Star Wars. Writers used to be much better about it (TNG to Enterprise era trek had actual technical writers bibles) but its still a constant issue that can break immersion or even...

This season was the retaking of Mandalore and Grogu maturing into an apprentice. Not seeing some vast difference here. Its basically a serial Western show and we have gotten a lot of that. Do you not remember him spending a third of the first season trying to put his fucking ship back...

The edge lords bitching about this season need to go back and watch season one again. This is on par with that material, at least. The biggest issues this season were that the side characters were not as strong (no Cara Dune, Mayfield, Boba and assassin team, ect) and for the third fucking...

Him doing his routine in the Pol or Screenshots area was bad enough, but endurable. I got sick of Folders once he started doing that shit in the Grown up Stuff and similar areas. I get most of you fucks lie about who you are, even if only to remain anonymous, but his shit was way over the top...

Thats a euphemism for something else, isn't it?
