    Not that this is really the thread for this type of warning, but my sister-in-law's brother lost his eye working a fireworks show maybe 15 years ago. Granted, he was one of the ones setting them off and it was an accident, so not quite the same, but shit can be dangerous even if you know what...

    To play devil's advocate here, that was what...a decade ago? Does she still look like that at all?

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    My big take away from this is it's funny how much heavy lifting that Marvel has relied on from post credit scenes for continuity. You know, the parts that aren't even actually in the movie itself. If they didn't have these scenes that most people could have missed entirely, would anyone be...

    I had to look her up, and I'm going to go with the oft cited "plastic surgery" is what made Chloe look weird. There was some guy on misc a decade or more who was obsessed with her.

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    That sounds terrible. Combining time travel and multiverses? Each one makes it so you've essentially got zero stakes. And now they've got two. When you leave the theater and your first conclusion is "that entire story can just be undone immediately" what's the point? "Oh no, my favorite...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    The fuck kind of review is this? That may be the gayest movie review I've ever seen on these forums. I'm not saying you've got no right to have the opinion the movie isn't bad (I'm not claiming otherwise and never will because I'll never watch this), but...what?

    The golem reminds me a little bit of the smoke monster from Lost. It's like they had an idea but no idea what they wanted to do with it, and then they just threw some shit at a wall at the end for it to be resolved in the most retarded way possible. With only one season remaining, I bet we get...

    That ending seemed super abrupt. I was really expecting something else to happen. The special effects, mostly the red lightning, were pretty good though. I guess the only thing that stood out to me was fucking Patty. Otherwise this finale didn't really resolve anything did it?

    The Bear

    I remember enjoying Huff a lot. But that was a long time ago and I feel like it got cancelled early. I can't say I'd necessarily recommend it though since I don't remember anything about it and I liked lots of dumb shit 20 years ago.

    [Post the Single Best Episode of any TV Show You've Watched]

    Had to go look it up since I swear I said something about it recently, but couldn't remember what. I probably would need to watch it back to back with some of the last season of Breaking Bad, cause that shit was really good too.

    Investing General Discussion

    I'd argue dollar amount matters very little, and kind of goes hand in hand with the idea that people expect investing to be difficult and giving them an easy answer frustrates them. Outside of brokerage minimums, the difference between a portfolio with $10k and $1m seems mostly irrelevant in my...

    Just watched the Drinker's review of this... Is the motivation of her character seriously "they shot my dog with a poison that takes 3 days to kill it?" It's like whoever wrote this trash saw John Wick (a dozen years ago) and thought copying that would be a good idea, but without the balls to...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    So earlier when I mentioned being off balance, that video seems to portray what the one we felt like way better. It's pretty crazy to experience. You think of the ground as pretty solid your entire life, and suddenly the entire thing feels like Jello.

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    They say you're supposed to stay where you are inside, but your natural reaction (at least ours) was to get outside as quick as possible. And the getting close to the ground is because you definitely do feel very unbalanced.

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    It's weird these earthquakes have no fore or after-shocks. After our 7.1 in California, we had thousands of them. The night of the big one, we had probably half a dozen higher than 5.

    Sure. I've been playing early access games for a long time now. I've never paid a monthly fee for one though. It's box price and done.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Good post. It really gets at what I was saying last year about how it's a bit audacious of them to charge a monthly fee for early access. Because in reality they're charging you a monthly fee to beta test for them.

    Stuff is finally happening, but it took so long to get here I feel like everyone just hates these characters and wants them to die now. Unfortunate.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    This sounds like such engaging gameplay. Way better than instancing content. On the plus side, it does seem like they finally broke from the EQ mold and have somehow come up with something even more cancerous. So way to go there. You know, everyone said that these devs were making the game...

    Sounds to me like the game just isn't right for all of those people commenting. If you're not willing to be on call 24/7 for a video game, maybe you should look elsewhere you fucking casuals.

    I read Duffer brothers and I thought it was the guys who do the AI videos of Trump, Putin, Biden, etc. Apparently that's the Dor brothers. Crisis averted. Anyway, this is good news. I had been considering watching this but now I can save a bunch of time.

    Up until Gen X, generations used to be 20 years. Marketers decided 15 years was better for some reason. Gen X should've really been 1965 - 1985. And it would've fixed all the weird shit where 1981 - 1985 doesn't really fit well with Millennials due to being pre-mass internet adoption...
