    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    I'm not sure what fucking planet you grew up on but apparently you forgot about the existence of Gobots , Transformers, mask, and oh yeah GI fucking Joe, and a million others that all came around the same time. And that's just the shit they made for boys. There were literally just as many...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    This was never going to be Citizen Kane. This was basically Big Trouble in Little China with Johnny Cage in the Jack Burton role. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it's not a rewatch caliber movie. Cage and Kano buddy cop shit was the highlight of the movie and I was happy to see them gank...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Avernus was supposed to be an entire explorable region of the game with additional quests involving Raphael and Mizora. The VA was actually completed on it, but it got cut from development. As for the "someone has to be a Mindflayer" thing, eh You can always Have Orpheus or Karlach take one...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Agree totally and most of the characters do get decent ending options, particularly if you play them as origin characters. The final patch added some depth to the evil endings that was not there, as well. Gale, Laezel, and Dark Urge in particular all had multiple well fleshed out endings...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The last patch somewhat corrected this, but yeah like many RPGs they started running out of time and money so a lot of things got left unfinished. Its pretty clear that large chunks of story got cut short to meet the release deadline. Karlach and the Gondian shit all have huge gaps in their...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Tempest with Sorcerer combo can be really exceptional, but it takes some time to get rolling, basically coming together when you can cast Call Lightning. Strangely, I found that a Lightning based Moon Druid (with a single level of Storm Sorcery) to be better in terms of versatility, even though...

    You took your shot and now you know. It sucks now, but wondering what if would have been worse and at some point you will move on. Concur with others who said the "work" is an excuse to not commit. If a guy is truly serious about a woman they absolutely will make the time. The dude is not an...

    Polligamy is their jam, with a pseudo Christian cultish spin to it instead of being just Islam.

    So Mormanism and Scientology and every other newer rebranded faith system... I find that plausible, actually.

    What are you playing?

    Mechanicus 2 is a lot of fun. Its not groundbreaking or game of the year material, but its a fun tactics game for the price, with two very different factions to play. As tactical rpgs go, it has a very tight gameplay loop but you can bang out missions in 15-20 minutes at a time once you...

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

    The entire cloud scam is basically You will own nothing and by happy, but for IT departments. Its a big fucking dependency scam that will forever prevent upstarts from rising up in the future of the industry. AI is just the next logical step down that path. An illusion of choice where the...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    What Gavin said. For some context, Zoraster based belief systems were the fundemental building blocks that would eventually form the basis for many aspects of western religions, as well. But like just about everything else in that part of the world, it got mostly stamped out or sidelined by...

    Spider-Noir

    Was not perfect, but no woke bullshit (the comments about Harlem fit the period and was not pounded on) and the show just felt good and fun. Nice to see Andrew Robinson getting work still. But the show lives and dies on Nick Cage.

    Money is drying up so they are accelerating the time table to get out before the bubble pops. Out company is going to escape this trap thanks to its sheer ineptitude and inability to adopt anything new in a timely manner, which is equally hilarious to me. And yea the MBA non technical...

    The Boroughs

    Finished binging this last night. Great acting and dialog and minimal Made for Netflix. The entire series is mostly carried by Alfred Molina and Dennis O'Hare, but the other cast members are solid. And the mystery bits are well thought out and revealed at a good pace with a minimum amount of...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The Dark Arisen in the original was amazing, but I am dubious. The core bits were in place for DD2, but it just never came together and the story was complete garbage that an expansion won't fix. Also the farm was dumb for the end game.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Not sure how much DLC you have, but the Death Cult assassin DLC fights were really nasty (harder than the end fight by the boss of that DLC) and if you can make it through that part of the game, everything else is completely trivial. That and the Navigfator (especially if paired with a psyker...

    If it makes money, then they will take that as vindication to make more DEI checklist trash in the future. Ask any decent trekkie if they would rather have no trek vs Kurtzman Trek and they prefer the past trek to remain untainted. Same thing with Star Wars or a lot of other IPs. Sometimes...

    He will just move on to the next "current thing" and pretend this never happened, like the last hundred times he has sperged out over his NPC programing like this.

    Slow boiled frog effect from watching too much Made for Netflix. Plus making fun of Ellen Page won't get you in the cross sights of a Planet of the Apes level chimpout. Look at how the groids formed ranks around that alien pretzel bitch in wicked. Trannies are toxic enough now that they are...

    Sorry Ron Moore, you were a good writer on DS9 and BSG but you went way too hard in the lesbian paint ruining For All Mankind. You had actual likable female characters that got killed, turfed, or otherwise ghosted out in favor of all the carpet munchers. Plus having mexicunt Mary Sue Immigrant...

    This is an old tactic that dates back to both the passing of the 19th Amendment and prohibition. But they kind of shot themselves in the foot with the whole sexual Revolution thing because the Monopoly is nearly meaningless these days. So they essentially made one of their own oldest tricks obsolete

    Both of those moons have largely been ruled out as possible locations for life in the current day, but Titan is enough of an unknown that it could serve that possibility. And they went off the reservation the moment the tech in the show caught up to current levels and the NASA advisers stopped...

    Space is not a true vacuum. There is hydrogen all over the fucking place. If you can contain a fusion reaction magnetically, which is what the show suggested (and seems the likely direction of nuclear fusion) then you can certainly scoop it up magnetically while in flight. The point of them...

    The closest I ever got to a dating app was meeting my wife playing EQ, which is not a dating strategy I can recommend to anyone. But I worked at a Cali college IT department so I was somewhat aware of the culture behind it. There absolutely were different options for women than men in some of...

    Gonna take a wild guess that the mainstreaming of dick chopping troons might have factored into it somewhere, too. They were invading women's spaces en masse starting around then, most notable for that being about when lesbians got knocked off their perch high in the SJW Virtue rankings and...

    You asked if it was possible for them to keep in group gossip away from men. I cannot speak on the app because I have no personal experience with any of that shit, only second hand information. But we both know women love to complain about shit all the time. But they never actually want a...

    Everything in this show started ignoring hard science once they got past the initial base on the moon. And even then, it severely ignored the issues with low gravity on human biology (reproduction is basically impossible) and all the radiation issues on Mars. And don't get me started on them...

    Not so sure, that stupid app for tracking dudes dating history did not really get a lot of public attention until it got breeched by some chuds. And women have a natural cloaking field for stuff like that, mostly because men tune a lot of their drama out automatically as a mental health...
