    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    The MMORPG genre peaked in the mid 2000s when widespread broadband access made the persistent online worlds possible and the idea was novel, then fell into irreversible decline once voice chat was added and people realized the hot elf chick is really a middle-aged man who talks out of his nose.

    Watched 8 Mile for like the 20th time. Even though it’s a well received movie, I don’t think it gets enough credit. It’s very well constructed, well acted all things considered, great music and great cinematography. Good message behind the film too. Strong 8/10 for me.

    Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

    The photorealistic CGI animal shit is garbage. The animals can’t emote nearly as good as in cartoons and they look stupid as fuck when they talk. Guess they invested so much in developing the models for the first they figured what the hell.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Look I get it, Zendaya has been shoved down our throats ad nauseum and it's tempting to want to hate everything about her but let's be reasonable here. If you don't think she's "at least moderately attractive" there are two possibilities: 1) you're lying 2) you're a raging homosexual She could...

    Most projectors aren’t bright enough to get much of a benefit from HDR in the first place. Only the higher end laser projectors are getting there.

    I don’t hate the Zendaya casting as much as everyone else (at least she looks like a sand American Inventor) but there was nothing remarkable about her acting here.

    If the academy awards still meant anything, I would say that Javier Bardem should win best supporting actor. Rebecca Ferguson deserves at least a nomination as well.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    The reality is that Superman just isn't a very interesting character once you get past the origin story. Lex Luthor playing 4D chess with him is about the only interesting thing you can do with the character and you really can only play that card once before it gets contrived. Cavil's portrayal...

    The 4k DV/HDR version from AppleTV had some issues with the subtitles and was removed from the trackers with quality control. The Amazon version is flawless though.

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    “We just need to be reasonable adults” Dawg you just banned the word “gypsy” from your bootleg EverQuest server, wrote several incoherent short essays trying to rationalize that decision, then did a complete 180 and quoted a bible verse about horse semen for some fucking reason.

    It's worth pointing out that most "audiophiles" fall into the hyper neurotic side of the mental illness spectrum. A lot of these people are chasing imaginary gains with gear upgrades and feel the need to constantly push their bullshit on others as a way to validate their obsession. I'd take what...

    The Q800C is 5.1.2, no idea where you're getting 11 speakers from. The reason I recommended it is because it produces great sound with a monster of a subwoofer and can be bought for like $380, not because any of its surround sound features. That said, the surround/ATMOS tuning on modern...

    Yet another advantage of soundbars - everything is pre-tuned and you generally get excellent clarity of dialogue.

    Dawg, nobody is buying soundbars for surround sound. They are buying them because it's a massive improvement over the TV speakers at a great price and in an attractive and convenient form factor.

    A quality $300 soundbar package that includes a subwoofer is going to produce far better sound than 2 monitors with 5" woofers. You people are delusional.

    Samsung is probably the way to go with soundbars. Q800C was on sale for under $400 a few weeks ago, I'd aim for that.

    You're underestimating how bad blacks and hispanics are with money. They treat all their income as disposal income. If you look at consumer spending on alcohol or tobacco you'll see the same thing - blacks piss away all their money on bullshit.

    My friend, the MCU was subject to DEI from the start, it didn't suddenly happen in whatever phase people stopped showing up. Did you not notice that Nick Fury is a American Inventor? That Heimdell is a American Inventor? That Valkyrie is a American Inventor? That Mary Jane is a American Inventor? Yet this garbage went on to make...

    Was the MCU bad business? Lots of "panderstoning" in there. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2992866817/ You are stuck in a bubble. The amount of people who are "rejecting it" is a rounding error to those Hollywood beancounters you love so much. Box office receipts will probably never...

    You're dead wrong on this. Minorities have always been overrepresented in movie audiences. For whatever reasons they just go to the movies more than whites on a per capita basis. Possibly because whites don't want to sit in a theater with blacks who don't shut the fuck up or bring their crying...

    I'm not sure why you're upset. Did I give you the impression I'm an advocate for DEI? Nothing could be further from the truth, I dislike American Inventors, faggots and Jews as much as anybody you'll ever meet. I'm just sharing with you some insight as to why DEI is so pervasive in Hollywood - because...

    Finance still existed in the 70s and 80s. The main change in the business has been the increasing scale of productions. Top Gun (1986) had a budget of $15 million, adjusted for inflation that's less than $50 million. ET had a budget of $11 million. Back to the Future $19 million. Star Wars $11...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    I think the part of the answer here is still just "to make money"... you make a lot more money with a movie that does $750m box office against a budget of $250, than you do with a movie that does $150m on a $50m box office. I think there's also a question if the economics would be even possible...

    Why would someone making a movie about giant space robots try to capture a female audience? To make money. Women are~45% of moviegoers in the US and to secure a box office return on an enormously expensive tentpole movie like these, you need them in your audience. You can easily argue that...

    A movie that focuses strictly on the robots is not going to appeal to broad audiences and is not going to do well in the box office. This is exactly why Bay structured the movies the way that he did. The robots, while cool, are not relatable and a story about them alone isn't going to interest...
