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.

Happy this is coming back “soon” (June 19th, 2026). Season 1 was pretty underrated and will be interesting to see where they go now...

You AMD? If so hook up your settings. Haven't had a chance to try out Hatorade or Utnayan's suggestions yet. Too damn busy. I did d/l the PS5 demo just for kicks if the kids want to watch a ninja game. They like watching / playing Astro Bot and Spiderman.

In the first episode baby picks up a remote and bonks dad on the nose. My 2 year old picked up the Roku remote and looked at me. I was like “not gonna happen, buddy…”

Wow I totally forgot about Forever Knight… that’ll be my next rewatch since I just finished Andromeda and The Dead Zone. Also completely unrelated I put the old Dinosaurs show on for the kids to laugh at and my wife walked in and had an epiphany that she’d forgotten about that show. It was...

That was what immediately hit me after walking out of the first temple area into the larger space. Was waiting for that "Wow, this is Nioh 3!" But instead it was way more of a "oh... okay so it is like Nioh 1 and 2?" I'm not stuck on graphics and pretty VFX over gameplay, it was just sort of...

I'll check that out. Only made it out of the tutorial area or whatever after picking the spirit armor option whatever. Wish I had more time to dive in Nioh 1 and 2 were great. They included story summaries too in the in-game encyclopedia thing. Amazing how bad I always am starting out each time.

I'm not even sure he sleeps. He did post that the next 5 - 6 months his full-time job is writing this show. Which means he'll probably only put out 4 side novels instead of 8.

Sanderson was already irritated by Amazon's involvement in Wheel of Time when he signed on as Writer / Consultant. Hopefully he used that experience to leverage Apple for more creative control or input. I say hopefully, but that could also prove to be an issue.

I was underwhelmed last night with the performance and fidelity on my 9070XT and 9800x3d. All I did was turn it to very high though and didn't go through the individual screens or make an attempt to improve anything.

I’m not worried about you keeping the FBI out, I just think it is borderline anti consumer that they’d never let you have the code to your own safe.

Funny that Liberty would give the FBI a backdoor code but not you.

The stupid thing about home inspections now is that there are so many apps that automate the report process that you really only need to walk around and take your pictures / make notes. Apps can fully assemble the pictures, mark ups, comments into a professional looking report without (or...

I'll look at the list I have and see if anyone on their staff is similar or provides similar services. The list I made last year was definitely outside of the "home inspection" companies and specialized in new builds, foundation design, etc. But that's a good reference to use and do some more...

Yeah something like that. We have the Star Trek Roku channel on in the background (along with Stargate channel) and just a couple of days ago the Season 6 episode “Timescape” came on where they’re stuck in a time loop because some alien lifeform lives inside the point singularity powering the...

I actually just finished a full watch of Andromeda last night since it is on Peacock. Been watching an episode or so a night while putting our newborn to sleep for the last few months. I have never seen a show more confused about what it is. That show was constantly changing, dropping plot...

I already have 3rd party inspectors lined up to come in for our home build. One at foundation, one at framing, and one at drywall. Not relying on code inspector to catch anything and while I do trust our builder I also subscribe to the Rondal Reagan "trust but verify" school of thought.

Wtf, and then suddenly!

Can people do chargebacks on cards if they used it for rent? That’s sounds terrible if so.

Just saw this pop up this morning: https://markets.financialcontent.com/stocks/article/marketminute-2026-1-19-unlocking-the-nest-egg-trump-proposes-401k-equity-swaps-to-combat-housing-crisis

Hah! No way I’m no sucker. That’s like 7,600 nut kicks over 20 years or $2 a kick. We’re done having kids (I think?) but my nuts are worth way more than that!

I would need to know the time period and frequency of the nut kicks to really evaluate that decision. 2% at 20 years for $100,000 is only $15ish thousand dollars. If that’s 1 kick in the nuts per year that may be worth it. 1 kick per quarter and I’m not so sure.

I feel pretty much the same. Take out all the zoomer crap and you aren’t left with much of a movie except maybe a cool idea that could have worked. Give me a cool Predator movie (without the terrible derp faces) that is just one escalating hunt after another with cool Predator tech (less...

Doing it myself in Gemini probably does as much harm as good. Initial impressions are hard to get out of my head, especially given the amount of money in play and having to live with it for 17+ years. So if that first view rubs me wrong the rest are just uphill battles trying to convince me it...

We went through a similar thing before getting into this build and it was basically a question of would paying off a couple of debts at 2.9% help free up some DTI or keeping more cash on hand for contingency and things that come up during the build process. A lot of spreadsheets later and we...

Only bc they brought in Manny Coto to fix shit. Then as soon as it was going well the whole thing got axed. B&B are the plague.

Might consider this for our new build. Not 100% sure about having a gigantic battery ready to explode in my kitchen, but it is either that or a 1,000 gallon gas tank buried in the back yard. Pick your poison. https://www.impulselabs.com/product

The number of companies enabling that stuff by default is ridiculous, especially all the conference call auto transcribers and summary notes tools. A few of them have even been really good and I can see their use. Did a decent job of describing the call, assigned follow ups, etc. But all that...
