    I think something has been miscommunicated due to the perspective in that screenshot and the lighting. Trying to work on making it better but not a lot of time to learn a whole new program. The guy making the plans will be providing actual 3d renderings. I'm just trying to visualize. No idea...

    @Cad , @Gravel I owed both of you a response and was making a draft throughout the week but it looks like it timed out or something. Was just difficult to get to everything with the family medical issues all week. It isn't 100% relevant anymore as I did officially decline the W-2 offer. On...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I was thinking about getting a little 5x8 or smaller trailer to help with our move next year, heading out of State for trips, and just general around town use when the bed of my truck isn’t enough or I want things stored a little differently. $3-5k seems about the range rbt...

    Last Samurai Standing

    That was pretty great. This whole thing was pretty mindless chop chop but entertaining. Doesn’t fully rise to ridiculous over the riot anime fighting or Crouching Tiger wire fu. It is fun. Some of the camera work during the skirmishes is really interesting. The restaurant fight going in and out...

    The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (2026)

    Listen, it is important that they do this otherwise no little black girl will ever grow up knowing she has the opportunity to be collateral damage murdered by an authoritarian regime and used as a plot device.

    Man, wish I knew you wanted SubPress versions, I would have cut you a deal on the reprints of 1 - 3 that I was sitting on. Sold them to someone on Facebook but would have happily cut you a discount.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    It is a polarizing series but I'm always disappointed when someone else can't get into it just because of how awesome I think it is. If you like the world / setting you could give Ian Esslemont a try. He writes side novels with some of the same characters but isn't nearly the same writing style...

    The Beast in Me

    He really is just an evil caricature, maybe I don't mean that in such a bad way. I mean, he acts the hell out of it. Claire Danes spends the whole show with that same exasperated wine drunk confused look on her face.

    Sorry, I didn’t explain it well or go in depth. Hadn’t planned to really get into it. I’ll try to provide a little more detail tonight, though it is a little outside the scope of this thread. Our 7 week old has RSV so I’ve been in the ER all night and am in PICU with him. Think we were just...

    The Beast in Me

    I tried to give the 1st episode a shot but everything is so over the top comically absurd. Matthew Rhys ‘s introduction and character is so heavy handed evil it isn’t even interesting. Claire Danes is playing another bipolar crazy woman but this time she’s a lesbian and somehow makes her...

    Going to have to decide this week if we postpone our build or continue forward… Completly unplanned work situation has come up where I have an opportunity to go back and do W-2 work. It is an enticing offer with about $500k in stock incentives, ability to lead and grow a whole new consulting...

    At Auburn it was not uncommon to have generational double wides. There are a lot of nick names for the school, most deserved, but really this made the most sense to me. If you have three kids that will be going through school, get some/rent a plot, get a nice double wide or manufactured home and...

    We did all* the Craig Bond films back to back earlier this year and taken together I liked the story it felt like they were trying to tell with this Bond. Taken in isolation though I can see really disliking his character. Not sure if that’s a success or failure or the series. We also never...

    I don’t remember Joe Hill writing a follow up to Black Phone so I’m guessing this one is all original? I wasn’t super impressed with the 1st movie but would still give a sequel a shot.

    Mass Effect

    I’m not sure, but I don’t think we can have it both ways here… Either they rape the original 3 and butcher what was good to great (liberally using that scale for 1-3), or they make up their own slop to ruin and just attach the ME name to it. Either way it’ll 110% be shit, but at least it will be...

    Our next step now that we’ve bought this land 15 miles outside of town should probably be to go ahead and buy the next lot 15-30 miles further lol.

    Things have been moving fairly slowly on our build at the moment. Last week we met our drafter out at the lot to look at dimensions, trees, sunlight, access, orientation, lots of little things I was happy to hear he is considering. While our builder has never worked directly with this guy for a...

    Books 2-10 are more “cohesive” in the sense they were written more or less in sequence, whereas Book 1 was like 10 years before. So idea’s and direction kind of shifts and he’s ready to tell the whole story. There are persistent characters (until there aren’t), events, locations, etc but I’d say...

    I never watched much past Season 1 and am just wrapping up Season 4, end of 4 is like 2hr long episodes. Season 2 was trash, Season 3 was better / good, Season 4 has been a mixture. The whole 1st part of the season seemed like a waste. Mike and Will are reduced to inconsequential and their side...

    Honestly, on reread I pretty much look forward to Book 5 equally with Deadhouse probably. It is extremely jarring the first read through but as equally satisfying as it was jarring on a reread. Tehol and Bugg are literal GOAT.

    Was sort of looking for an excuse to replace my current company laptop and a couple weeks ago picked up a side contract that gave me that excuse. Just picked up a MacBook Pro 14” M5. Now I get to figure this MacOS BS out. Hopefully the transition is easy like my iPhone was a few years ago...

    Yeah a couple of us all went from the board here to like TI3, 4, and 5? Maybe it was 4, 5, and 6. Can’t remember haha. Key Arena was fun but different. By the time they were having Lindsey Stirling and whatshisass DJ ruin the Aegis raising. Watching EG win live was legit amazing though.

    Closest I’ve come to that is selling a DotA 2 skin that was a rare drop from attending The International in Seattle. Pretty sure I sold it that night when we got back to our hotel room. oh yeah, in my Marketplace history. Oh shit that got up to $1500 in 2024 haha should have held on to it.
