    Still annoying flip flopping between, I assume, present day and the Silo.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We have our PI planning this week. I swear these product management folk are morons. This is what drives me crazy: they come up with a feature idea, present it to ONE person (the "architect" who doesn't even know our product well) to get their feedback, and then just run with it. I hate that...

    Don't they get royalties? Or maybe that was the pre-streaming world.

    Project Hail Mary

    Yeah, my complaint (only having seen the movie) is that despite being visually very alien, the Eridians still had too much human-like personality. Still, a great movie and message.

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    I don't know. I'm probably wrong, but I feel we're close to the end of this nonsense. Hollywood is in no position to keep wracking up losers.

    You know, I think Samara Weaving would've made a damn perfect Silver Age Supergirl. Blonde hair, blue eyes, skinny and rockin' bod.

    Why would they follow up Superman with another Super/Kryptonian movie? Baffling choice. Who approves this shit? Do they just hand out blank checks and tell them to have fun? I never understood how truly terrible movies make it all the way through. I mean, if I was "the boss" I'd get experts /...

    I picked up Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2. I think the last dungeon crawler I played was waaaaay back in the early 90s. Probably Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. Also, loved Dungeon Master on my Atari ST. Grimrock reminds me so much of that game... probably an homage to it I imagine. BUT I...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    She was very cute when young, but as an adult, while still pretty, she is kind of odd looking. Sort of like Macaulay Culkin but not that extreme.

    It's come way off its highs, but I've never understood how META's stock is valued so high. Are they really making that much ad revenue from Facebook and Instagram?

    Obsession (2026)

    Tough to watch, tbh. EDIT: I split this across two nights and have just finished it. This really does feel like a modern day The Exorcist and seems just as culturally impactful. Overall, it was a good movie. However, I don’t think I’ll watch it again anytime soon... for the same reason as...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Personally, I think super hero movies are done, other than Spider-Man. The problem is, Gen-Z doesn't give a shit, and Hollywood has managed to piss off the demographic that does give a shit. I think that's one of the reasons MotU did so poorly despite being pretty okay.

    Yeah, speaking of the golem, what was the deal that? Why even bother creating it if it didn't do shit? What bugs me about this series is that they can never get a win. Yes they managed to kinda kill one monster, but would've been cool if *something* happened that put a major kink in yellow...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    If I had been in control of the franchise, I would have chosen Power Girl. I would have taken heroes and villains from across the DC multiverse and integrated them into this continuity. That might have been pretty interesting. And, of course, I would have cast very attractive actors in those roles.

    Computer Issues

    For one PC, I had to buy a USB bluetooth dongle which I plugged into the front. Yeah the other one is on the motherboard and I definitely did not use an antenna. In fact I don't even recall it coming with one. Perhaps I missed it. Anyway, using the provided Gamesir dongle everything worked...

    Yeah, I think this right here is the problem. All this time I've been trying to use generic/onboard bluetooth adapters. I have a Gamesir pad and will try using it's supplied adapter.

    Computer Issues

    I have never EVER had any luck getting wireless gamepad controllers to work on a PC. *Any* PC. They will work briefly (like for a few minutes) and then randomly die. I have a PS4 / PS5 and they have never had an issue so I don't think it's anything in my environment. Any tips? Not sure what...

    House of the Dragon

    The episode had a lot of solid action, which was cool. But there was still a bunch of dumb stuff that bugged me (like wearing heavy plate armor on boats). My biggest problems are that it's been two years since the last season, so I can barely remember what's going on or who everyone is. I'm just...

    Nah, I'd genuinely be upset if something happened to Boyd, Kenny, Donna, Kristi, or Jade. Maybe even Sara and Randall too.

    From is still enjoyable. I like most of the characters. It's just every season opens with a major event then filler, filler, filler, ..., cliffhanger.

    Honestly, felt a little disappointed in the finale. Not sure why, pretty much hit all the points. Kinda felt like it ended abruptly. Didn't see the twist coming at all, but I'm sure others did.

    Kinda funny...before going to the Iron Throne, I did just the entrance area to the Foundry, freed Toobin and the others. Afterwards they were all freaking out and discussing where to hide the bodies. 🤣

    After failing to dominate the Netherbrain at the Morphic Pool, the Emperor pulls the party into the Astral Prism. There, you can choose to have the Emperor consume Orpheus or free him. If you free Orpheus (using the Orphic Hammer), he becomes controllable like a summon pet.

    Spider-Noir

    Just finished watching this tonight. While there wasn't a lot of action, that was perfectly fine. I found the story genuinely interesting. Cage truly carried the show, however. I believe that if anyone else had played that role the series wouldn't have been nearly as fun.

    An evil durge ending is pretty bad ass, though. In a horrific sort of way of course.
