True story about my only interaction with Alaska: I graduated high school in 1989 and had a number of scholarships full and partial to schools of varying prestige levels. One day I get an unsolicited letter and packet from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. I know very little about the...

I accidentally went back to the start of this thread and remembered that Obama's second term hadn't yet started when this thread did. The XBO/PS4 hadn't come out. The Last of Us hadn't come out. GTA 5 hadn't come out. Its been more time since the last book than it took for the first 4 books...

In the flashbacks, Abby is clearly a girl. She has been Cape Fear training for revenge. Lev is clearly trans, her mother having named her Lily at birth but now she is living "another truth". Always room at the"Get woke, go broke" Last Jedi Motel.

Blood Mathilda May is Best Mathilda May. I loved this movie so much as a kid. It was like every bad movie I watched on cable rolled up into one Sci Fi- Fantasy- Zombie- Vampire-Apocalypse- Romance- Horror movie in one. With an appearance by Patrick GD Stewart in it.

Anything "starring" Kamala Khan is almost-instant DQ in my book. It's got to go a long way and be utterly amaze-balls for me get it at this point. Edit: It depends on how long you are locked into each character. After watching the war table vid, I have gone from KOS to Dubious. Edit2: This...

I feel the tug between this in the story they are trying to tell and the manipulative, shitty way they are trying to tell it. When the story of the 2010's is told, this whole "subverting expectations" bullshit will be looked back upon as a cheap, pulp narrative shortcut rather than doing the...

Everyone who isn't part of the access media is calling them out.

So while I have owned TLOU Remastered for years, I have never sat down to play through it. I should just set it on easy and take my medicine but as a game it hasn't really interested me that much, despite owning a PS3 (for which I think I owned Heavy Rain and a bunch of Blu Rays); With all of...

You didn't specify if you believe there can be more than two genders, bigot.

Remember they have a built in VAT, so lots of things come out to be the same price in USD. If its £599, I would expect it to be $599 US plus tax. Even so, that sounds expensive. I would expect a regular system to be $499 or less, $449. They must be expecting the Xbox Series X to be $499 or...

I really want a 43" 120Hz monitor of some sort. Or Gsync/FreeSync such that you can have something better than 60. The video smoothness of those monitors playing at 90/120Hz is just so amazing but I am not willing to play on a monitor smaller than 39" and less than 4k. Consoles at 60 look...

Well, you have to look at the chips they are built on. As I understand it presently, the 3080Ti was going to built on the GA103, is now going to built on the GA102 to better compete with the RDNA2.0 and be like the 2080Ti was for Turing. Ampere's Titan, IIRC is going to be the 3090Ti and be...

I have been using TVs as monitors for more than a decade now, since you could get big TVs that did good(ish jobs) at massive sizes (shoutout to the Westy 38 back in the day) and then South Korean 43" perfect TVs that were amazing 4K monitors, then LGs and finally Sonys. Since Hurricane Harvey I...

I mean, What does it cost to have a game with 10,000 Players? Design a "niche" world for 10k players you can scale out horizontally and not vertically, with a sense of place, really distinct culture and... I just remade 4 games from 2001. Have live events with player involvement! 2003...

In short, Yes. I mean, it is 2020 and there are still Murder Hornets and horrors yet unknown but this is scheduled to be Nerdvana come the fall, two incredible new consoles Zen3, and two awesome new Video cards series.

New Moore's Law is Dead based upon the Video Cardz leak noted above: Nvidia RTX 3090 & 3080 Leak: Impressive Cooling for Higher Clocks Edit: Here is the Notes and timestamps for the show: Something close to the final cooling solution for the RTX 3080 seems to have leaked. But that’s not all...

You can get these Corsair SF power supplies up to 750 watts. Right now NewEgg has the 600w version for $130 that ships in a few weeks. At Best Buy you probably have someone, casting no aspersions, plugging numbers into an online calculator or looking at a chart for power draw. I mean, for a...

I don't know what else you are running, but I just bought an NZXT H1 that comes with a SF550 PS in it. Of course it only takes single PCI-E slot Mini ITX Mobos but there are people running them with 2080Ti's and 3900Xs; just be sure the current power supply won't support whatever it is you...

Turing was an Intel-like push for Nvidia, which is one of the reasons prices went up, because they stuffed more stuff on the same chips since they stated on the same process size, IIRC. I paid $699 for my Founders edition 1080Ti at launch and $999 for my 2080Ti before and after the Bitcoin...

Well, I am not asking you to take my word for it, nor am I saying that "AMD RULEZ". Per the leaks AMD is going to be competitive for the time in a decade, and that is finally forcing NVidia to step up their game. AMD's new cards are going to smoke the last gen, means that NVidia is going to...

Follow Moore's Law Is Dead (Moore's Law is Dead YouTube Channel) . Same guy runs the Broken Silicon podcast. Dude is plugged in and does excellent analysis. Here is his Video for 3080/Ampere Nvidia 3080 Ti & Ampere FULL Leak: 7nm EUV & 18Gbps needed to Defeat AMD RDNA 2 but don't go all in...

Blizzard/WoW got so big that it snuffed out all competitors and drove everyone else into the mobile game market. What killed MMO's without a specific platform purpose like GW2, (which we were lucky to get in the West, a few years later and we wouldn't have gotten it, I don't think) was...

So this game is great. Its super deep, I am finding, and way beyond the Civ-seeming surface. The intra-Civ family dynamics are important: You have to keep the number of cities each one has in balance at this point or they will start to get an Envy malus. They care about which troops get made...

What? I paid like $225 in the first kickstarter in 2012. Fake edit: All of my stuff is in my hangar, I got the "Rear Admiral" package. Real edit: Whooooaaa, they have raised $285 milllllliiioon dollars for this? I may have to download and give this a try.

Just to be clear, when people talk about Jonathan Nolan's script for Interstellar and what was made into the movie for Interstellar, those are two entirely different things. Jonathan wrote the script for Steven Spielberg but it was an almost entirely different plot, with many completely...

I really liked the original script as well; it was a totally different beast but great on its own terms.

This just really gets my goat when people say "UGH love" and treat it like people writing poems to each other, as if they are SO beyond "the cheese" and then don't hear any of the arguments the movie makes about it NOT being that. Well, sophisticates, don't think about rock songs and holding...

I can't wrap my mind around all of the possibilities this opens up; some are obvious, others are not. That's it. We'll know it when it gets here. We'll see if he can pull this off. All signs point to yes, however.

I watch it on Hulu but I have Live TV. You can just buy the Season on Amazon and watch them there the next day after they first air (May 18th for the Vat of Acid episode, for instance).

That's the thing, I wasn't expecting this episode to be much, and then out of the blue, *BLAM*. My wife wakes up and says, "Why is this shitty music playing?" and I had to yell something at her just to not lose the moment. Home run. Now next week they can go back to Ice/Water T and "SHOW ME...

So like many people in Southeast Texas in Springtime, I am suffering from what I thought were allergies; woke up last Monday morning gasping for air. Gasping in the time of Corona is not thing to do, so I made my way to the local urgent care after calling first because my PCP is a...

I think that is the best statement/summation of the issue I have seen overall. That early MMOs were emulating Table top campaigns vs new MMOs were are trying to provide the framework to get to raiding in early MMOs is a keen insight. There isn't a great sense of *place* in any of these new...

Remember when Hollywood made kind of middling fare? I remember in the 80's growing up there were all of these movies that weren't blockbusters or competing in the blockbuster space that were just kind of mid-budget "good" movies. National Treasure seems like it would fall into that rank for...

I made the mistake of not getting my own Switch early on and as a result the number of Nintendo games I have completed in the last few years is in the single digits; I want another now so my kids don't have to share with **each other**. I always expected them to have another "console" out by...

Sorry, one of each for my kids and one of each for me.

When are they going to be back in stock is the bigger question. I would have bought another one at the beginning of the lockdown had I known they were going to be so unavailable. For NextGen, my purchasing strategy is: Two of each. I long ago got over being choosy. MS exclusives, though...

Arson investigators found they started in three different places almost simultaneously. Its a far more neat narrative if the government set the fires but that's not what I believe happened in this case. I think the Davidians thought they were being overwhelmed by the APCs, which were modified...
