    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    No idea, but as someone who went dry about two years ago, you can develop what amounts to essentially an allergy to booze eventually. I started to hit this point and decided that was my stopping point. I was never really addicted, but I was overdoing it from stress peers and pain. Stopped...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Give me the names of three coaches who are better that GB could actually hire. That is the dilemma. I see isolated errors that are being learned from, but no amount of coaching can cure a bad O Line or mass injury.

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    That team has so much potential, but it is being squandered by an aggresively mediocre coach. Quinn is the modern version of Riverboat Ron, looking better than he is due to talent on the roster but gambling big at all the wrong times. If the Deadskins take the fucking points there, none of...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Aside from Internet Edgelord bullshit, its a couple specific things. First, fans are myopic dipshits, especially the newer generations. These impatient young fuckwits did not live through the fucking Forest Greg, Lindy Infante, or Mike Sherman years. I did. LFM is arguably the third best...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Yeah, really bad, but not Soap episode bad. So confounding cuz the episode that preceded it was pretty solid. And the 24 ripoff episode was really good. It's like half the episodes are being written by a completely different writing team.

    Dating

    Yeah don't give up any information that you don't need to and have fun before it all blows up in your face. You found yourself an average white liberal woman, perhaps a bit less crazy than most. If she even considers FWB an ideal setup, she is not Miss Right, but she is probably Miss Right Now.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Yeah I completely avoided watching anything from those two series. What little I know I have accumulated through the osmosis of other people bitching about how bad they are. Kurtzman is the Kathleen Kennedy of Star Trek and its extremely obvious he took a direct hand in this season.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Yeah this may be the worst episode of a Star Trek show ever made, though I have not seen any modern trek outside of Picard Season three and this show to be fair. I did not think they could make something worse than the musical episode, but boy was I wrong. I just started fast forwarding to the...

    If you like that desert rock style, Masters of Reality is still putting out bangers, but Blue Garden is still their best and in my top five all time LPs.

    Thank you both for making my joke better as you watched it sail completely over your heads.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I never watched it, but I admit to being pleasantly surprised by the crossover episode with SNW. That said, the last thing this show needs is more parody right now. Doing even one concept episode a season is a stretch when their seasons are only 10 episodes long. At least we are done...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    This show seems to have two writing teams, one who knows the lore and one who want to be making anything other than Star Trek. I know it was a mixed bag, but the hangover episode was one I actually liked despite not being able to stand mexicunt diesel dyke. The black and white one was...

    As someone who worked with clearance for DHS, let me say that was the most plausible part of this season so far.

    Its an X-Com game. The listed chances have no bearing on reality.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    The Bloodbowl computer games rather infamously had a pregenerated seed as well that modders were able to figure out the AI was reading and adjusting to. Of course Cyanide's AI was so bad that no amount of it cheating could make it challenging, so it did not matter for single player. But there...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Any long term veteran of tactical strategy games knows those percentages are a complete fucking lie. Real odds are subtract 90 and multiply by ten in my personal experience. Anything below 90 percent in Tactics Ogre or an XCom game is a waste of an action for a prayer. I don't think the game...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Yeah I have done a play like you are describing and Act 3 was pretty challenging. You have to be able to deal with two fights before things largely get back to manageable, but fortunately your Customs and Argentia are back for the second one, but you have to be able to take down the first one...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Officer in general has been weakened way the hell down. They nerfed the fuck out of it for a while, which needed to happen. The whole build one god and give it infinity turns shit was just stupid and balancing the harder difficulties around that made the game unplayable for normal people. But...

    What are you playing?

    Barbie dress up dolls the game. Gay as fuck and super grindy. And worse, once you got max Alchamist and two Deathknights maxed, you could basically face roll the majority of the game. It was the first outright terrible FF game, if you don't count Mystic Quest.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    It is unique to her in that form, but any forgeworld character can basically replicate the effect in reverse and get a good INT out of the trade. And INT has the advantage of also applying to Logic and Tech Use, as well as AE damage in combat. You would be amazed what a high Int combined with...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Jae is outstanding as a skill monkey. This is known. But she is very mediocre in combat and her quests range from annoying (stealth quest?) to just forgettable terrible. The line in the DMB part is arguably the only mildy amusing part of her entire quest chain. Her nature makes her highly...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Most famously for Captain Marvel. You could literally go to the theatre in Disneyland that the ticket sales showed as sold out and it would be empty. But I think this is more a case of the woke and tribe enthusiasts circling the wagons. They needed a win or the entire graft was going to...

    Blade Runner 2099

    Dick Choppers are like Vegans and Crossfitters. They crave attention at levels that even women cannot relate to. They know they are not going to get that attention unless the shit up someone else's creation by subverting the built in audience. Its basically the guiding star of Woke...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Forgive me if I don't lose sleep over the opinion of a Canadian liberal. After watching these parasites "subvert" expectations for "the modern audience" for dozens of IPs with maybe 1-3 actual original franchises for the past two decades, I am done with the made for Netflix. And before you...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Don't care. All I want is for these prog fags to stop raping other IPs and our collective childhoods. They should make their own fucking stories and cast whoever they want in it. Nolan is certainly capable of doing this. The degree to which Bisi is jerking himself off over this pretty much...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    From a world building standpoint, you want to have the broadstrokes done, at least internally. Otherwise you end up with tons of inconsistency of tone and scope when it comes time to do some story telling. This is true of most fictional mediums, from a humble table top RPG all the way up to...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    His brother (plays and voices Thrawn) would have been a great choice, imo. Doom is the "Hitler did nothing wrong" kind of villian who needs to demonstrate a level of control and menace that makes audiences understand him. You also need someone who will sit behind a mask for most of the movie...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum (2027)

    Well he just lost Bisi's endorsement..... Interesting coming from him since he has been fairly openly left on things. Guess that Animal Farm disaster might have opened his eyes a bit.

    Operation New Career

    Kind of out of left field, but you could work for DHS as a contractor repping yourself in that role. You meet all the quals and likely have the needed clearance and skills/experience to hop to the front of the line. And the work is easy as hell. Just be aware that the major sites you probably...

    Meta loves hiring ex spooks, but that company is kind 9f weird. I would jump at a job at Morgan Stanley without knowing your other interests because no matter how much that company fucks up the government has made it pretty clear they will bail them out LOL. On a more serious note it might...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    Played through most of the early release and it is fun up until around level 30-40, at which point it becomes super grindy and the fights become ridiculous damage sponge shit you need to apply really stupid janky strategies to beat. The multiplayer mechanisms were kind of shit, too. But if you...

    Cetara pulling tail with that fucking Karate Kid Soundtrack faggotry away from AD/DC who restarted all of hard rock with Back In Black sounds completely plausible. Or maybe you could just accept that some things just do not age well, especially from the 80s, like aquanet, the Burton Batman...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Faggot. Robert Lamm absolutely crushed Cetera, both as song writer and live vocalist. Beginnings (both Versions) alone is better than anything Cetera contributed. And when Cetera took over as the full time main vocalist we got the gayest shit ever in the 80s. He is basically a less gay Bryan...
