    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Fairly far into a new run of this with the DLC. The Void Shadows was well done in every area except balance on some of the fights. The hall trash encounters that are part of it have enemies with over 600hp that have lots of movement and can reliably gank softer characters in a single turn...

    The Running Man

    Its an Edgar Wright movie which means a certain vibe and pacing. I doubt they will go with the book ending, but I would love it if they did. This trailer is giving me more of a Baby Driver vibe, which I think is a good thing.

    The Running Man

    Book was actually excellent but there is no way in hell they do the ending as remotely close to written as I would like, because current year. Edgar Wright can do no wrong in my eyes, so gonna roll the dice on this one.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    We played on side by side consoles. We have three tvs in our bedroom, which we nicknamed the reality deprivation chamber.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I got Night Reign along with the wife to play together, as we did a co-op play of ER together (the base game anyhow) thinking this was going to be casual friendly and more like the Dragon Age MP. Combat is not an issue, but the frantic run around and ignore most of the content is completely...

    Dating

    Forward intel and engagement is always good, but fundamentally people lie about a lot of things, especially themselves even to themselves. Putting yourself out there is always going to be a risk. Mustering the resolve to get back out there is a major step in moving forward and one a lot of...

    Dating

    There is a difference between looking for Mrs Right vs Mrs Right Now. I think we can all agree on that. That said getting back on the proverbial horse as it were by bar trawling is not the worst idea, especially if you have been out of the market for a long time. Getting that first base hit...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    The story characters you got early (or who had decent class setups) had a leg up and this was indeed a positive for Mustadio, but concentrate combine with his gun abilities made him a major force late game as well. And yeah Chocobo Mounted Mustadio plus W8 could solo the game, but then again...

    Watchmen (2009)

    If we wanted an AI's take on something we would google it ourselves. The point is getting your actual opinion in your own words so we can debate a topic instead of a search engine.

    Watchmen (2009)

    This is easily in my top five superhero movies of all time, if not at the top of the list. They altered the ending of the comic, but frankly the movie ending is better. All around great acting and as close to perfect translation of the source material as you would ever see. Schneider's best...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I preordered it, but then I already have a group set to play with. I dont really maintain a gaming PC anymore, but even if I did console is where I would be due to it filtering out the cheaters and being able to be a couch potato and enjoy speed runs is nice.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have relatives over for a week so I probably will not get to play much if at all. But I have a premade group of local friends we intend to hit it hard with on PS5. I enjoyed the coop play in ME2 and Dragon Age and hope it has the same feel to it. Nice bite sized monster murder runs seem...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah even with the DLC she is by far the hardest boss, even if you summon pals. She requires specific approaches, good reads, and fast timing to take down. If you are a tanky guy and want to solo her (or at least just use ash and no player help), the fingerprint shield is a must. For a weapon...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Vikings are a shit show and the Bears.... are still the bears. Realistically, we have three actually tough to the point of near auto loss games in our out of division (Eagles, Clit Commanders, and Ravens), so how we do is going to boil down to improving on that horrific in division record from...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I turn my camera on for key meetings that have been scheduled in advance and I even dress up for them to a degree, hoping the zoomers get the fucking hint about professionalism. They tried that shit on us both at DHS and at my current gig. The DHS one got killed in the crib for anyone in a...
