    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    The story is fucking wild. But sitting through the frustration of figuring out to do kind of sucks. There are a few things that you have to have good timing for, and that kind of sucks. Then again, when you know what to do, you can really whip through it. In that sense the game is kind of...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    12 minutes is neat, but holy fuck it's frustrating. Gets to a point where it's like "what the fuck do I do now?" Edit: I pretty much gave up and have been watching Waffle's stream. This story...what a mind fuck.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is one of my pet peeves with promoting people to management. Being a rock star technically doesn't translate into managing people. They're completely different skill sets. That said, even then it depends on the team. I learned one this the hard way in my last role. As their manager, I...

    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    Yeah, the woke episodes just weren't funny. When your show becomes about the message and loses what made the show work, you're being woke.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I've been burned a few times with buying a game only for it to pop up on Game Pass within a year. I decided to stop buying most impulse buy games and see if they showed up. Hades is one of those. But man, I get the hype this one had. I'd almost consider buying it just to support the...

    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    I mean, luckily this is the last season. And it started with the woke shit before switching. Terry's racism episode was in the 4th season (where he gets profiled for being black).

    Market seems completely detached from anything lately. But then you see 1995 with 72 new highs, and it didn't come crashing down until 5 years later.

    What If...?

    Seems like not very much changed. Essentially replacing Rogers with Carter, and adding the Hydrastomper. But otherwise it was damn near identical. Same rescue scene, same train scene. Really had hoped for more changes. Hopefully future ones vary more than just swapping one character for another.

    Rick and Morty

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a show start off good, have some shitty seasons, and then redeem itself. Basically once the slide starts, it doesn't stop. There have been shows that sucked to start and finally found their footing, though.

    I mentioned it back in May, but we bought a Mazda. When talking to the finance guy, he said in the next 60 days (so June/July) they were only scheduled to get two additional vehicles.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Really makes the "we never went to the moon" types seem justified. Can't even improve on something we built 50 years ago without spending a billion dollars and 2 decades of work.

    Val (2021)

    Yeah, it was decent. Mostly depressing though. Val looks like a super goofy guy and it seems like acting was a good outlet for that. But eventually Hollywood destroyed his soul. Part of it being himself and focusing too much on the acting that he lost a piece of himself. Scenes like him signing...

    25% is pretty massive. Correction is generally 10%.

    I'm still predicting a correction in September or October. But at this point that only brings us down to where we were around the beginning of April.

    New World

    I guess that's my question. Does everyone have access to everything if you're in a town owned by an opposing faction? The only one I noticed was the town board seemed to only give out that bottom right 1/4 when I was in a different town, but I'm not sure if that was a faction thing or something...

    New World

    I was reading a Reddit post and the poster was saying how it seems like if a single faction (likely a mega guild) decided to take over a server, it would essentially wipe out that server. People responded by saying that it's okay, because eventually people would switch factions so they could...

    You can cancel a preorder though. What happens when a third of the people cancel because they were only playing this to kill time for the next game? Another thing to consider is the impact streamers have now. Love them or hate them, they command a large audience. When all the streamers decide...

    New World

    And that's really my point. There's no "polish" for a game that's been in development this long. Just release it and fix shit as you go. You could always delay it indefinitely to fix whatever new issue pops up. And then you never release.

    New World

    Yeah, seeing a lot of people say this is good for the game. I'm not sure if they're just oblivious to MMO launches or what, but there's no way an extra month is going to "polish" the game any extra. With how many games are coming out in October, it may just be that my group of friends skips...

    Watched it tonight. It wasn't bad necessarily, just not very good either. It really dragged with a 2 hour run time. The Mouse seems to be in a rut of uninspired, boring movies. Raya Cruella Luca Black Widow Jungle Cruise Could probably throw Mulan in there too, but Soul was released between...

    Summer Olympics 2021

    I haven't watched any Olympics, but decided to check out the surfing. What absolute trash waves. They were like waist to shoulder height and seemed like they had a ton of onshore wind (which I guess is expected with a typhoon behind them). That's the kind of shit waves I'd expect here in the...

    Been saying that to my wife. If this was any other race, they'd be super pissed and calling out how the first 3 votes out were all white (and likely 4th). They're exterminating the whites in the house, and the biggest alliance is literally all the black people got together to make an alliance...
