Gentlemen and Mist, I give you Starfield. More thoughts later.

Nick Fury is played by Samuel L. Jackson in the Avengers not because of DEI but because the Avengers in the MCU is primarily based on the Ultimates comics run, which differs from the 616 main universe in a number of ways; Nick Fury in the Ultimates is based on, get this, Samuel L. Jackson...

Everything post-Endgame has completely, utterly flopped. Yes, the DEI MCU is bad business. Edit: the three movies in 2022 are far off the MCU expectations and nothing after even made money. "Far from Home" isn't DEI MCU standard any longer: THREE straight white male leads? Unheard of and...

Sure, I know its commerce as well as art. You know what else is bad business? Bad movies. Rubbing the Panderstone and thinking about "Well, POC constitutes x% of the audience, therefore X characters need to appeal to POC demographics" is a recipe for shit movies. You can slightly tailor your...

Holy shit your stint here is going to be short. Do you think no one here has ever heard of risk management or demographics or statistics? Do you think that any of those things make a movie good? Make a movie watchable? Make anyone feel anything? Make anything ART? Does making a Transformer...

This is why everything sucks today: Because even when you get past Marxist Ideologues and DEI Activists (Same thing) trying to enforce The Message™ quotas in everything, you have accountants and consultant asshats preaching GOD MONEY (hat tip NIN) AUDIENCE like this. Wonder why we had so many...

I had no idea how much this would affect me. I was never big into Dragonball in any of its forms but I have always been aware it, and it feels like its always been around. It was one of the first regularly aired anime and constant meme fodder for 40+ years. All of these creators dying, and...

Reading this thread: All the bugs and crashes, gameplay/framerate "quirks" One character, one save slot. Weird MTX; Monster Hunter vibes, the gameplay described above I love to be in on the next big thing but glad I let this one breathe. Will enjoy this one theoretically and vicariously...

Holy fuck the nasty stuff people used to eat. I guess you did what you had to before refrigeration but for me: I didn't know Cosmo was a T1D; I am always happy and sad to hear there's more of us. He is super down on the subject, though: The things they have now, that's not the case. As...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We played some super fun games that were barely games by today's standards and they were great.

Synder *films* and story-boards good movies. He has excellent cinematic tastes. He can't come up with a story/narrative TO. SAVE. HIS. LIFE. He needs to be making movies written by someone else, director for hire style, with strong producers etc. He's like a visual George Lucas; George was...

"Battle Beyond the Stars" meets "Anastasia" meets "xxx"; It's recursive derivative nature all the way down.

It used to be that remakes were the non-risky way of Hollywood movie making because there was at least a built in audience. Holy shit look at all these terrible half-ass remakes. The Crow? Road House? It's about sending a message all right, the message is: "We can't make good movies any...

I'm fucking offended by the game: The Multiverse story sucks, it ruins the whole game universe; I really need to put more time into a reply, I haven't spent a moment on the game since I flamed out a while ago but yeah, I guess you're not wrong. "Like Skyrim in Space but with worse quests...

The power of his creations is over 9000. RIP.

You can get Hulu without ads. Mine doesn't have any.

All kinds of patch notes in their Discord; Seems like they may have found whatever it was causing their bottleneck when "Zoning". Everyone is going to get a Bee pet now regardless of the stupid referral code BS. Will post of the messages here if no one else has, super informative, even if I...

I never did either, and I still find it shocking the whole story about "Frank Herbert wrote Messiah because people didn't get the message about Paul". I never pick that up at all, and by the end I thought it was part of what was necessary for either Humanity's next for for the Golden Path...

Film Threat had a great review and about the changes Dennis made to the books for the Pt 2. Apparently They loved the movie overall book nit picks aside 8.5/9s out of 10.

Much like our world, Different Gods.

Sometimes no matter how big the company, the software and hardware, each and every component , up/down and front to back, has to be able/architected to be able to scale to the demand, otherwise all the money in the world won't make it work. I was at HP when the Powers that Be decided that they...

People, even the grogards here, don't appreciate how complicated this can be, and how hard it can be to overcome what is effectively a friendly DDOS attack in the form of customers wanting to login can be up and down the app/DB/authentication/infrastructure pipeline. Having much of this hosted...

Infant mortantily? FEMALE mortality used to be high; giving birth used to be dangerous for women. It literally was the initiating event that started the civil war that ended the Roman Republic. Fake Edit: After doing some research, between 16th Century Europe and modern Tribal Africa, a steady...

Reading this thread and the reddit post saved me 6 hours and a huge amount of frustration. Plus having to watch 61 year old lesbian Jodie Foster pretend to have bad sex. Thanks FOH!

I was doing a Warpath/Rive Void Knight and Minion Necro as well. I loved my Forge Guard when I was dropping Anvils on everything but it looks like that skill is gone; makes me sad, that was awesome. Will probably do a Javelin/Hammerlin Paladin and a Warlock since they moved Drain Soul over to...

I have been on a tour of older ARPGs, I did Warhammer 40K: Inquistion Prophecy Martyr or whatever, and that was a good time. I dropped 110-120 hours into leveling a few characters through the main story/campaign, and it was fun. I also got Victor Vran and Van Helsing but they have been just...

Holy fuck, What have they done to comics since I read them regularly before All New Different. I was reading everything when the Ultimates were big, and then I read about this DC 60's level shit. Fake edit: This is 2001? Although not surprised this is a Grant Morrison creation. Comics are...

I saw Ut was playing this on Discord and was mildly tempted. For 18 bucks? Positive Meh. Probably the attitude I should have taken for Starfield. I have a fan dying on my 7900XTX so will have to RMA soon but might jump in if this doesn't suck or if I don't start a Cyberpunk run or something.

Aw geez, so it begins Polish that ring: Mahomes' cinnamon ring that is. 24 carat or bust.

People are going to blame the kicker, and people are going to blame the NFL, and people are going to blame Taylor Swift, but from what I saw, the 49ers just got marginally outplayed and outcoached by a team with a little more of everything, including luck and special teams. Neither team really...

I was trying to buy the 49ers a screen, looking for the LV area code to see if I could buy space on the Sphere to get a message to Shanahan, you guys are tearing them up on the outside, you need a TD to win the game; two runs for nothing inside the 10 and then whatever the hell that abortion of...

I got both; the Anthology and the Final Cut were just on sale for dirt cheap 90/95% a few weeks ago and I picked them up for almost nothing, I think less than 10 dollars total. Victor Vran Overkill Edition was still 35ish bucks on greymarket, so I just got it on Steam for ~40.

I was thinking about picking this up as well. Will do so now at the first opportunity. Edit: Wait, Van Helsing or Victor Vran? I have hit ARPG Alliterative overload. I picked them both up today just to be sure, even though the Victor Vran was a little pricey even from G2A/Enema, etc.

I have a played a Pysker through the main campaign and now doing a second Crusader as a melee. Really enjoy the game so far, way more than Diablo 4 TBH. I mean, the moment to moment gameplay of D4 is great but there is so much poor design backed into the rest of D4, itemization, end game/lack...

I think it was Champions Online that I preordered, played the Pre-Order Launch weekend, it was a great game, powers felt great, you really felt super, and somehow after two closed betas and an open one on Retail Launch day they dropped a HUGE nerf patch that wrecked so many builds, powers, and...
