    BOTW is full of empty boring space and everything has that washed-out low-contrast look. I actually can't stand BOTW.

    I thought the Spirit Temple basically was the Light Temple. Didn't it have light puzzles in it? Or was it more of a wind temple (so the counterpart of the Forest Temple)? Five was an odd number of temples, so a sixth being cut is believable.

    2025-26 Season - Roundball Rock is Back

    As a San Antonio guy, I guess I picked the right playoffs to start watching again. Seems like the Western Finals were always Spurs/Thunder in the 2010s and that the Western teams always had a much better season record than the Eastern teams. Good to see not much has changed.

    2025-26 Season - Roundball Rock is Back

    TBH the Knicks seem like huge underdogs in these finals. The Spurs were tired from the Thunder series and the Knicks were super well rested, so of course the Knicks excelled at first in the finals. Lot of money to be made right now by betting on the Spurs. Not saying they're a sure thing or...

    Obsession (2026)

    My mom saw The Thing in a theater while pretty far along in pregnancy with me. She left during the dog scene. So there's a good chance that one of the first things I ever heard was the dog scene from The Thing. No wonder I've always gotten nervous around barking dogs.

    Obsession (2026)

    So many modern movies have their stories demonstrably worsened by the writers needing to put over the wife/female partner/female character TBA. Mortal Kombat 2 was hurt by this and pretty much every movie I've watched lately had shoehorning-in of girl power at the expense of a male character...

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

    Just want to say, this new Bloodstained game has a WAY more compelling art style than the new Castlevania, IMO:

    Yeah, for a second I thought it actually WAS FF6 with the main logo looking like magitek armor a bit.

    Yeah it has some of yesterday's coals in there. They still had some burning in them. The bottom you say? Far as I can tell, there's a lever down there for emptying ashes and another lever for taking the ash tray out. Least that's what I thought it was for. Explains why the coals were having...

    This is about when I usually dump the coals out of the starter and into the grill: That look like about right? If I let it go longer it'll be fiery on top, less time and the top will still be black. Now I have these going. If I put the top on the Weber, sometimes the coals halfway go out...

    Pretty sure it isn't physically possible for a guy to have that kind of waist to hip ratio, for one thing. No need to derail to find the 1/500000 example, TY. All XBox has to do is get Bethesda to do more stuff like this: A bunch of diverse characters stomping on a white guy coded villain...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    Wait what? 2026? I expected it to be like 2029 at the end, if there was a date at all. No gameplay footage at all, but 2026? Doubt. That trailer makes me depressed because I know the game won't capture any of the magic I felt in 1999 and will, like the audio cues of the trailer, just make me...

    With digital and streaming, they have you by the balls. That's why companies have been pushing those things so hard and subverting everything that came before. Slop levels though the roof because they know people wll consoom. Nothing's better than holding a game, and getting 90% of your money...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Absolutely, multiverses shit up everything. The latest Mortal Kombat game has like 20 universes combining so nothing means anything and characters get killed off constantly only to return one scene later. MVs are a crutch for lazy writers and make the audience not care.

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    "A part of history"? Is this the last Mortal Kombat movie ever or something? I wish I had that kind of fervor for corporate products. Kitana is pushed at the expense of everyone, no doubt. It's less about "she looked too strong" and more about "they made everyone else look weak to prop her...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    This looks like a goddamn child However, it seems to only be from some angles, and in some shots, while in others she looks a few years older. In the trailer she looks like a kid when turning a certain way, then older when she finishes turning around. It's weird as hell. Looks like if you...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    Wait, so they cast an actress as sexy as Camila Mendes to play this character: ...and then they put her in fucking PANTS? Well, anyway, this sounds like a solid movie that needs support, so I'll go see it tomorrow or Tues. I had no interest in this because I thought it was still part of that...

    Dude, just stop playing and put it on eBay. I left behind my "I have to finish every game I start" mindset in like 2022. If you bought it digital, well, sorry, eat the loss I guess. Only time I get things digital is if I either know I love the game (Bloodborne) or if it's a deep sale (15 or...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    MK 2021: "White men can eat shit and die!" MK 2026: "Alright here's Johnny Cage and he's the main dude! Hell yeah!" (then they job him out for most of the movie and make him Kitana's bitch in the first fight) They burned through Noob in this movie. Quan-Chi and revenants shouldn't have even...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Rocket Town should be early (hell it should have been in Part 2). Having it "late" is kind of bizarre. That whole section was used to introduce Cid. Well, since he's completely different now and all sanitized and nice, guessing Rocket Town will just be the later version of it from Disc 2.

    Who me? It sounded more like you were just asking a legitimate question. Why did they use a 12 year old in the game?

    Is she Indian? Kind of funny because the Microsoft CEO is an Indian guy and there's that stereotype going around about how Indians hire other Indians for all the important positions. Regardless, I don't know anything about what's going on in the XBox side of things. People seem to like her...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Sounds like the game is pretty much ready and the Switch 2 version's performance issues are holding it up. The first two were in Spring 2020 and Spring 2024, so this one being Spring 2027 puts it about a year earlier than I expected. COVID kinda added a year to all of the normal timing cycles...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Stellar Blade sequel on the way. New main character, and uses fist weapons instead of swords. Not sure how I feel about the new main character, because she looks like a kid. From the back, and just body-wise, she's like a petite woman which is great. However every time they show her face, I'm...

    Resident Evil Veronica

    I think every RE fan is glad they didn't skip this and go to RE5. This was a main series RE in every sense except having a number, and probably should have been called RE5. Claire looks super hot here. She's already quite attractive in the RE2 remake, but they made her hotter. Look at how good...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah it's pretty much 1:1 with X2. Wish they'd shown more of them though. Tifa's outfits are the ones everybody's gonna want to see. Kind of a waste that we got this vast outfit collection after losing Aerith. We're down 50% of the attractive grown women in the game and they drop fashionquest on...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The fact that this isn't clear, and that they decided to have weird mindfuck games with Cloud, is super annoying. Aerith being laid to rest is one of the most potent scenes in video game history and I don't even think they recreated it in the second game, too busy jumping around with the POV to...

    Summer game fest 2026

    What's with the neon purple everywhere now? Often accompanied by neon blue or neon orange. Well, the purple/orange combination can occasionally look nice, like the Visions of Mana cover artwork. Most of the time though it just makes everything look like "dei baby magenta" or whatever the kids...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    This movie was dumb as shit. People went to it to see Johnny Cage, the audience clearly loved Johnny Cage, though the crowd reactions to him got a bit muted by halfway through the movie because the movie spent so much time making him look like a total fucking loser and by extension mocking the...

    Gave up on the smoker box and brought it back to Home Depot to get my $50 back. Lawl. Tried a few methods for getting it to smoke wood, none worked. Whether the chips were wet or dry, didn't matter. The box would heat up and everything in it would just sit there. What I do now is drop some wood...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's worth it with a team yeah. Dunno about duo, but a trio all in communication with each other can have a ball with it. Otherwise you're just hoping to get decent randoms every time out. As a duo, I think it'll always give you a third random and that makes the bosses stronger. Dunno if there's...

    Euphoria

    Not crazy about how they changed the main Euphoria banner ad to replace Sydney's legs with a snake. Her character isn't any sort of diabolical conniving manipulator or anything, she's more of a dumb blonde who gets herself in trouble. Wondering if this is some subliminal underhanded thing...

    I've only seen one Sydney sex scene from The Voyeurs and it knocked my fucking socks off. Like Skinemax-quality sex scene. Her riding the guy on the couch could probably turn a gay dude straight. Does she have more sex scenes in that show? How is the other chick? Do they lez out? I guess what...

    The thermometer and being able to add charcoal without picking up the grate are both good QOL features, I think it was worth the extra $100. Also the being easier to empty out the ashes with no mess. I usually get the coals glowing red and on fire, then dump them into the grill, spread them...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Except that demographically, black people have less money to go around than anyone except Latinos. If I were looking for a profitable audience, I'd target more numerous groups with more money. Now if we're getting into the weeds of how black people are more likely to make big purchases / go...

    That's a cool idea, use the chimney starter for the wood. I could also just run the wood chips through the chimney starter with the coal from the beginning, ya? I'll try it with the $45 metal box and I'll try it with the chimney starter and see which has better results for wood chips. I have a...

    I've had a tough time getting wood chips to work in general. I put them directly on the coals and they burst into flames, I put them in a foil pack and they just sit there and sit there and eventually the coals start to go out and they're still sitting there. Looking into it more, the part I...
