    We Dont Need No Stinking Priests - Spirituality, prayer, meditation, new age, gnostisicm, consciousness

    So I had a weird morning, and I figured I'd post in this thread instead of the weird Catholic/Orthodox/Protestant one in the general section. I smoked some weed this morning and everything clicked for me. I feel like a had a spiritual awakening. I've never been religious, and growing up...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Yeah, my wife made me look up some pictures of him a few months back and he looked fucking terrible. Guess he had a pretty grueling battle with cancer. Sucks he was so young. Don't like celebrities in my age bracket dying.

    Westworld

    It's pretty wild how much I don't think we appreciated TV in the past. Or at least I didn't, and only do in retrospect. Probably has a lot to do with not even watching a lot of these shows until later (and some on this list I never did). But take a year like 2011, where you had: Breaking Bad...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    So you're saying the only reason everyone on FoH likes it is they're homos?

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    This show wasn't even on my radar. Just randomly clicked the thread cause I kept seeing it at the top. Sounds like you all like it, so now I'm wondering if I just wait two weeks to watch it all at once. I blame the title though. It just doesn't really sound like anything but generic slop.

    Pluribus

    That whole escape sequence was fucking phenomenal. I don't think this show will live up to Vince's other works though only because they're going to be so limited on what they can do with a whole like 5 characters. Maybe people start waking up and that allows them to branch out a bit, but I feel...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I like how Rich hates The Gift because of some random real life lady that has literally nothing to do with the movie at all. I don't know that I ever saw the movie, but I sure do remember Katie Holmes from it.

    Ashes of Creation

    I'm not sure it was incompetence. You think about their MLM backgrounds, and years ago the engine switch, and to me it looks a lot like the world's first MMORPG MLM scam.

    Fallout

    That's because not a lot did happen. And I'd say if you didn't play the games (or remember literally zero of them like me), it's even worse. I started falling asleep during the finale. The only interesting part was House's exposition dump, but it didn't even amount to anything. Coop's scenes...

    Pluribus

    I mentioned before I've been rewatching Breaking Bad, and it's pretty amazing the contrast between these shows. I just watched the season 4 finale and it feels like a near perfect hour of television. I don't really remember season 5, but based on recency, it's the best episode of any television...

    I was like 9 or 10 years old and my mom asked me to shovel the snow off her car. Joke was on her though, her laziness cost her mightily, because I was so young I didn't know any better and used a shovel. You know, like you would to shovel snow. Scratched the shit out of the paint all over. I...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    Wow, do you even watch TV? You weren't counting the pages in a book during a 15 second scene, and committing that to memory over a decade later? Were you even paying attention at all for GoT? It's funny how you can tell if someone is an actual autist by the things they post.

    Ashes of Creation

    Don't forget they dedicated zero effort to it. It was basically a free for all. They didn't spend a bunch of time trying to balance classes around each other so PVP would be fair.

    Ashes of Creation

    They want PVP to work because it's "content" that doesn't require developers to make it. The problem is no one actually wants PVP. Edit: Just barely beaten to it.

    Like @rhinohelix stated, they're all trying to launch with a decade of content to compete with something like WoW. It's a massive mistake. It's something I mentioned in the MnM thread a long time ago. They all like to brag about how huge the world is, but 90% of your world will be abandoned as...

    I'd say do Space Age and then if you like that, think about one of the more in depth mods. It's basically SE-lite. Plus SE first will end up like me where it just feels a bit shallow.

    I enjoyed Space Exploration significantly more than Space Age. Although it's also a significantly longer time commitment.

    Yeah, not sure about the tax implications for the UK. In theory I'd say invest in the US because it seems like any time the economy crashes, everyone else gets it worse. But I have no clue if international stuff gets taxed worse than it would for domestic stuff (also no idea if you all give any...

    It's been fucking retarded windy today. Something like steady 25 mph, with gusts around 45. And yeah, we're going to get down to about 22 with 10ish wind chill. Luckily, sounds like by the end of the week it'll finally be spring.

    I'd be down for that. I keep checking the Black Desert thread and I just can't force myself to go through that grindy shit again. If they could just do Black Desert combat without needing to grind hundreds of billions to fail enhancing over and over, I'd absolutely play it.

    What would you like to see remade?

    Sid Meier's Pirates! I actually never played the original, but the remake in 2004 was fucking amazing. Best pirate game I've ever played, beating Assassin's Creed 4 by a long shot. Giving it an upgrade in graphics while retaining the rest would be sweet.

    Was season 4 any good? We watched the first one episode and never picked it back up. Season 3 was already trending pretty badly. We just couldn't get back into it for 4. Seems odd to be excited for season 5 if 4 was more of the same.
