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.

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...

lol I don’t even know what half these reactions are. There’s no truth or solidarity in these parts.

Typo in my post, my bad.

lol just a taste of tv Malazan Facebook group. Someone asked ChatGPT about the most powerful mage in Malazan and pretty much every comment is the same:

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...

May as well just burn the house down and start over at that point.

I’m game. What’s the worst that could happen?

I was trying to get our 1-month old and 2-year old down for a nap yesterday and saw it was 0-3 early in the second and just decided to fall asleep on the couch. It just isn’t even worth watching. lol didn’t even see this. Been at the park all morning with kids. Sometimes I miss football and...

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...

I posted in the other thread about this and really like it but have zero time right now. Turning off all the BS effects like CRT, Occlusion or whatever else really helped in my opinion. Just unnecessary crap.

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.

Dude you’re reading GARDENS of the Moon and like 65% of the characters are named after gardening or kitchen items. There’s Rake, Hedge, Mallet, Blanket, Fiddler, Bottle, Spindle, Bowl… Just wait until you find out that most ascendants and their warrens have 5 different spellings. Seriously...

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.

Audiobooks are either amazing or catastrophic for me. You've got RC Bray for Expeditionary Force and what's his name on Dungeon Crawler Carl that I can dig, and then pretty much everything else that exits.

Seems to be free with Prime for me. May give it a go this afternoon.

Suntup Press just released The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. Haven’t seen a lot of small press murder mysteries it seems recently. I read a ton of Agatha Christie growing up so am pretty interested. Like most releases these days I’ll likely just wait til they’re shipped and pick...

This looks about 1,000x better with vignette, chromatic aberration, and CRT turned off. That crap is terrible.

Jeez it it’s already October and nearly the 28th. I’ll be on a plane that day so should have some good reading time.

I saw this the other day when I was searching for idle games or something to do at 2am with the newborn. Maybe I’ll grab it now.

We were just talking about JKM and the few tools a couple of us have. This email popped up today with a countersink tool. Honestly I haven’t liked a number of countersink versions in my box; collet style, standalone bits, and I guess a more integrated style like this. His looks very interesting...

Hah that would have required the first winner, Richard Hatch, to not be an incredible degenerate that went to jail for tax evasion on his winnings amongst other things. And then went back to prison again for violating probation. This is a pretty big prize pool. Last season of Deal or No Deal...

Okay cool. I’ve only seen Circe once at this point. Trying to make it a point to do more of those rooms.

What’s the summon last enemy one? Still haven’t finished a run but am easily consistent with getting to Chronos, Phoenix or past that in over world.

At least cigarette smoking man won’t have to worry about smoke detectors.

I’m sure they’re just waiting for Stevie Nicks to be sober long enough to finish her voice lines.

The show was worse than this thread though.

A couple of interesting updates little things have popped up the last few weeks: Lividian Publications has a special edition of The Ferryman by Justin Cronin. I have not read this, but the printing looks pretty nice. $125 bones, 10 illustrations that I did not flip through since apparently...

Almost got Chronos my first try but couldn’t quite pull it off. Was using Rank V (or IV) Aspect of Melinoe Daggers. Had some pretty good Ice Boon, Cast Boons, all giving +Damage. Wasn’t familiar enough with the fight to do it 1st try though.

Bought these b/c the left stick rubber coating ripped on my PowerA wireless XBox controller. The realized I don't have the patience to take apart, remove the PCB, replace the whole stick, and put everything back together. Can I just buy the pads and stick them on? Don’t see why not but wasn’t...

I totally slept on Cast in this game. Only remember never using it in Hades 1 and oh boy is it different here. And the dumb thing is they beat you over the head trying to tell you to use it. Like “here are these totally useful Boons for Cast, please don’t ignore it!” Or “here are 50 mobs that...

And it isn’t just cost, it is ease of access. Pirating music and movies was like 2,000% faster to get it on my computer or iPod or whatever than trying to rip a friend’s CD or navigate the 1st digital stores where it was clunky and agreements weren’t in place for full artist catalogue, maybe you...
