    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Took my daughter to see this. It was OK; she was a fan of the game/experience whatever it was. It was showing at River Oaks Theater, which is an old-school cinema, non-stadium seating, for instance, 4:3 screen, but she was hyped, so we went. Sound mix was what most people said about Tenet...

    Ashes of Creation

    I paid for a key but have had serious concerns since Intrepid and Steven had their falling out with Narc. I guess it was too much burn and not fast enough to get to release. Edit: You just can't launch with WoW/More than WoW functionality straight out of the gate. I mean, Elon could fund it as...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I sold cars for a couple of years as my day job during the week after I changed direction from Law Enforcement, and it was a great learning experience. I was pretty good at it and worked at a couple of dealerships, selling Fords, BMWs, Pontiac/GMC, and used. There were good sales and bad sales...

    Path of Exile 2

    Update: I switched over to running Abyss and got a few of good Omen drops that let me put together a build for less than 100 Div, which while maybe not having some of the ultra rare items, did allow me to put together a build for my plant druid that worked pretty well; asset inflation also...

    Weather

    We've had that over the years with the various floods and hurricanes. It's like carnies that follow storms, doing roofs and cleaning up trees/limbs etc. Some are OK and the others grifters following the money and looking for elderly and others to make them marks. We've got three or four tree...

    Keyboards & Mice

    I just bought a bunch of unnecessary junk I need to return but I had one of these and some other toys in my cart. Soon my dear, soon...

    Weather

    The panic here in Houston is ridiculous. People are still completely shell shocked from the Great Freeze of 2021. Stores, even HEB, are out of everything. The really bad news is supposedly there is another one coming next weekend, although how bad yet to be seen.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I saw that. There is going to be a not a bust but a transition, and corps are going to probably be getting a national security bailout on this one. AI isn't going away but hopefully this sagging of the whole bitcoin style will give way.

    I love technology and the Internet but there is something to be said for Agent Smith's speech as he interrogates Morpheus in The Matrix:

    I have seen DM live more than any other band. Staring in 1988, we would regularly go to most shows in Texas: later when I could afford it we'd get seats in the first 5 rows. I last went to a show in 2014. After 2014 ticket prices just outstripped what I thought it was worth to sit up front: In...

    Supremely underrated Carpenter film. Super thought provoking for me, not in the way the storyline of the movie unfolds but rather potentially what we experienced as interaction with Divinity and Evil, spirituality could actually be spirits interacting with us in the material plane at the...

    Path of Exile 2

    No idea on the sound issue but would imagine its game/code related if you don't experience it anywhere else. Those Abyss top end bosses with the big beams are MFers; I started adding them to my maps with Precursors but reconsider on super juiced maps or Deadly Bosses, etc. I get the same...
