He’ll be too busy with the Firefly relaunch they’re announcing tomorrow, right? 🤣

I saw that on Instagram, glad he’s trying to do something about it. There’s such a small group of businesses that actually do these things (the printing and binding) and so many presses are plagued by delays and issues. There’s another company I buy from named Headstamp Publishing that does...

7th Guest, Myst, Under a Killing Moon were so foundational to my PC gaming life. Similar to X-Wing or the King’s Quest series. I can remember playing Myst with my Mom and brother on the family computer in the living room 386. 7th Guest (and eventually 11th Hour) we spent ages playing late at...

Dang I was really hoping this was a game about nylon. I don’t even think Cordura means anything? This is like naming your game Tupperware or Velcro.

One of our primary requirements was that the garage doesn’t face the street. I don’t even really like the fact it is viable from the side, but because of the lot and slight grade it makes more sense to put it where it is. All the other homes that were for sale tha have these huge 2-3 car garages...

Yeah I waited to get the full set of the last kickstarter ones after the fact and basically paid same cost as it would have been. I would like to finish my set of main books to be matching, but that’s a very low priority.

did you finish the movie? No one will blame you if you didn’t, but I mean… it is kind of the last 15 minutes.

Y'all are being entirely too critical of an obviously bad movie. There was zero expectation this was anything but generic and bad and it lived up to all of that. I can’t even be mad at it. Putting more effort into it than it is worth , I will say the worst part was giving Reacher a leg injury...

If you watch Seaquest vs Farscape it is an incredible case study of what a show lead can accomplish with vs without upper management meddling. It is almost hard to believe Rockne S. O’Bannon had anything to do with DSV.

It feels like billions understates the issue by an order of magnitude. Isn’t just Highguard, Concord, and ’maybe’ Marathon almost $1B? That doesn’t include what we don’t know about that has been canceled. Even if not all of it is explicitly due to DEI, the poor management and leadership...

I only know what bongo cat is because they do K-pop Demon Hunter covers and my 2 year old asks for it constantly.

Oh I’ve done both of those. Last year or the year before when our middle son was born and I needed late night baby feeding/rocking TV. I actually thought they held up fairly well and enjoyed pretty much the whole run of if I remember correctly. Some other thread has my thoughts on Andromeda and...

I’ve been doing a rewatch of the Highlander series and boy it is pure 90s amazing cheese. Duncan is knocked unconscious like every episode and luckily there are no other Highlanders around to lop his head off. Sword fights that swap to grainy black and white, slo mo, synth soundtrack. Just...

hah exactly the same here. I started watching it before scrolling down to the comment and description and thought for sure someone had just ripped it off.

AI getting crazy… Some of the details are wrong but it is funny I recognized the scene immediately and haven’t read Way of Kings since it was first released.

Awesome, glad it helped. I gave up my monthly subscription because the quality of those prints just weren’t worth the $53/book after exchange shipping. The one offs though seemed to use slightly better paper and signed, so that’s always cool.

If anyone is interested in decent-ish shelf copies of books, The Broken Binding just went live with their hardcover edition of this today: https://thebrokenbindingsub.com/products/between-two-fires Should be open to order for anyone. Never heard of the book and no idea so kind of passed over...

Oh dang, whoops. Got confused somehow when it started popping up in recommendations. Thanks.

Random bump instead of making a new thread. I guess Housemarque released a new game called Saros. Had no idea it was coming out but I loved Returnal. Unfortunately PS5 only for now like Returnal was on release. Also 70 fucking dollars, not a chance I’m paying that these days even as great as...

This popped up as a recommendation and was pretty short so thought I’d give it a shot. I need to do more new / independent or smaller sci fi and branch out a bit. This book reminds me why that is difficult, though. It isn’t aggressively bad, but just never gets out of mediocrity. Surface level...

Full details were released Friday of the Curious King and Lit Escalates editions of Red Rising. 4 states announced: Artist Edition, Numbered (1-350), Lettered (52 copies, A-ZZ), and Roman Numeral (I - X). The Artist edition is basically unlimited and is an amazing deal at $100. Three week...

Kiddo’s grandfather thought it’d would be fun to surprise us with a Ninja Ceami, so now I get to become a fatass and perfect my soft serve game. Just inconsiderate if you ask me! We had milk on hand, granulated sugar, and vanilla paste so did a quick batch last night. Was actually pretty dang...

You’d have to update the physics engine to support the modern Nathanya’uwbo Drake and xer diverse team swinging and hanging from everything. AI is great haha

That’s some serious wtf.

I don't consider anything without a static map a Metroidvania. The procedurally generated maps kind of take away a lot of the design that goes into Metroidvania type games. Progression may be locked behind certain "key" upgrades for new maps/biomes, but I don't qualify that as the sole defining...

Metroidvania is a genre Roguelike is a genre Roguelite is a genre Faggot is a choice

Glad I’m not the only one with the opinion on Windblown’s artistic choices. It is really abysmal on top of very spammy but fun gameplay.

That’s interesting because Motion Twin is releasing Windblown which is in EA now. I’ve been playing it a bit here and there. Very different than Dead Cells with the 3rd person 3D perspective, gameplay has some overlap but not a huge amount. Still Roguelite. The biggest turn off is the characters...

Had a guy on Fiverr render our kitchen layout. I don’t even want to say “proposed” because this is just what is currently in the designer plans. Nothing looked at by cabinet makers or decisions around fixtures, faucet, everything. Gave the guy the floorplan and said “let’s see this in 3D.” We...

I'd be concerned with standard poly that various bathroom items like toothpaste, mouthwash, products, steam, moisture, etc would eat away and get into the vanity. And also think you're right about the wax part. Have you looked at Waterlox? Waterlox Coatings Corporation it may work in your...

I’ve been super busy and honestly there haven’t been a lot of interesting announcements after the Red Rising one last year. Nothing that excites me at least. But today Conversation Tree Press announced they’re doing an edition of There Is No Anitmemetics Division...

I’ve had my Thursday Presidents for 4 years and they’ve been great. Selling a second pair of different ones just because I’m trying to pare down my shoes. https://thursdayboots.com/products/mens-president-lace-up-boot-mocha-suede

A couple of things I consider must have BIFL would by my trimmer and shaver. This BaByLiss Pro is incredible. It is heavy as hell and built like a tank but gets my neck and touch up throughout the week perfectly. I had a couple of cheap shavers before getting irritated with skin irritation...

Had no idea that was some later boss. Saw him from the roof and spent 20 minutes running around trying to get up there. Even aggro’d him by hitting him with arrows hoping to pull him down but he leashed. Finally gave up and moved on with things. Pretty funny, tried climbing those hay stacks for...

The visuals suck ass, but no one cares bc Nioh is fun to play.
