    Lightyear (2022)

    I hadn’t been to the movies since one of the last Star Wars and just saw Top Gun so yeah, I was super pumped about getting my kids that experience and Lightyear shit the bed. like I said in original there is some redeeming space art that is cool, but the movie fucking sucked. No sense of...

    Lightyear (2022)

    Well due to covid shutdowns I hadn’t gone to a movie with my kids in a few years. 5/7 Black lesbian having babies hamfisted in your face at the beginning. There was the classic shady Latino, clever black spunky youth, useless white guy trio. The movie itself was kind of difficult to care...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I know there’s worse that I’ve seen, but the first thing I thought of (contrary to popular board opinion) was Lighthouse. I felt sick after watching it. I also watched it with this riverboat pilot that I don’t particularly appreciate and he loved all the seafaring references and thought it was...

    Losing Interest

    Well there’s your problem, you work too fucking much ! Of course you feel like Groundhog Day. Working less and playing more needs to start with setting the expectation. Explain how you think you both need to ‘feel’ like if something comes up, then the other person will jump on the grenade...

    Losing Interest

    Making friends in a hood is work, but totally worth it. Even if it’s something cheesy like going over to play ping pong or watching a game, the time to socialize and have a few drinks really helps because it’s unpredictable. you may be thinking…how the fuck is watching a game unpredictable...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Just an update, first read through and was struggling with beginning of midnight tides. Felt like it was too disconnected from the rest. Fast forward. I’m halfway through and it’s rivaling book 3 as my favorite. The intensity of the Edur situation followed up with silly Tehol adventures is...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I started a gentleman paladin, Julius, and got him to 21 over some sporadic play this weekend. I’m not excited about the server or my future playing it whatsoever, but I’m actually enjoying the experience somehow. I think I actually enjoy the gimp to pimp phase of EQ.

    I’m on Vaniki with like an hour of playtime every 2 days. Ench 32 Pally 22 Thought I’d farm up for pally gear but don’t know the new stuff well enough

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Yeah, Slider was dumb and loyal, and he stinks. Jester / Viper were old school but reasonable. Hollywood got boners. It wasn’t much, but enough to make the other pilots feel like characters vs cocky girl pilot, cocky boy pilot, super cocky boy etc.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Growing up and watching the original movie hundreds of times made this experience feel super nostalgic and awesome. I almost cried during the opening credits when I heard the Faltenmeyer 😭 The first movie does a better job of character development of the other pilots and I guess that’s why...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I got to 21 from 3 PM to 10pm on vaniki with no clue, no plan, the worst PuG you can come up with (pal, pal, sk, afk mage, rogue, and a chanter that didn’t charm). 0 deaths total - do the tutorial and you’ll be god mode- first time ever doing it after 20 years went straight to warrens after...

    I hit plat or mythic only doing f2p dailies and building up wildcards, but it doesn’t really count because I customized a deck with that super cheese 3 mana panther bro before he was banned

    MTG thread

    I still like drafting / sealed and try to slave through my dailies to be able to play them. kind of feels like I either get 6-7 wins or get destroyed completely. I’m still grateful to be able to play online as I hate card shop nerds, but enjoy the game - especially how it often comes down to...

    Damn Paul is going to have a scary father in law. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t bone Irulian, too scared of Walken.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I don’t box much, maybe 2 occasionally, but mostly single. My 2c is that single is way more enjoyable during the leveling / social phase of the game, but for a casual that hates asking for help - it’s nice to have friends that can knock out some minis or fights with you. Rizlona was a great...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I usually skip a year then play a tlp till around luclin pop before losing login motivation. After missing Mischief I would be down for a classic TLP, but only if it was some kind of theme like only random guild and can only group with other randoms / no boxes. DE mask would be going for a...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    You can tell book 5 has a ‘brothers’ theme and has also been the first book to really dig into a society that’s not Malazan. I’m feeling like it’s still slow because they’ve talking about this great meeting forever, but still cool for workdbuilding and more perspective on these races and what...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    First reading and I’ve really enjoyed it, but just started passing out after 5 minutes of book 5 each night. Wtf let’s not only constantly fuck you with new characters, but how about we go back in time and fuck you ?

    Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

    Strange race with some answers and more questions. Biggest question has to be how to optimize these tires. Crazy to see the streamlined strategies of last year compared to the “fuck it let’s try this” feeling of these pits. Looking at Verstappen’s situation you have to wonder if it’s...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I’m super slow playing a few hours a night and just beat the dude in the NW castle. The castle is crazy well done and you can tell they put some time in it. I love the flow to the area and feel like it’s my favorite spot so far.

    Path of Exile

    I’m noob, but is the idea if you get a unique monster for the league mechanic, then every one you do on the same map will have a unique or high chance also, so make sure you use all the little station thingies if you have a unique or currency that you’re chasing ? Until the monster beats your...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    My big beef with the idea is if only white males, Asians, and less annoying Indians excel at American IT roles, then we use a rule that says we need our employees to look like the country’s demographic. Because fair is fair, right? NFL, a minority dominated field we say “oh there’s no bias...
