    Yeah if you like reading a fucking book.

    Can't play PS4 non-pro games anyway. 30fps is unplayable for me.

    Untitled Star Trek Prequel

    All these old franchises need to be retired. There's nothing new to be told. And given the obvious lack of writing talent in Hollywood, all they would come up with is the retelling of the same stories but made worse.

    Man, fuck off with the prequels. Seriously.

    Have you tried NixOS? That one is kinda cool.

    Might as well rewatch this now. Sounds like maybe 2nd season drops this fall.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Has anyone explained why they put anti-cheat code into this? The only thing I can think of is because pawns can be shared online, but who cares if someone wants to add an OP pawn to their party?

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Exactly this, and kind of the reason Im not particularly interested in jumping right into this. Will wait for a sale.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah worst part of the game. Couldn't be bothered to create optimized equipment builds. Way too annoying trying to manage that. They really got to work on that with their next game.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I opted to become the Illithid at the end, sparing Karlach and Orpheus from doing so. I had also romanced Karlach. I chose the option to imprison myself but then offered to join Karlach and Wyll in Avernus. So, I thought, 'Oh, that's imprisoned in a metaphorical sense, I suppose.' Then, a bit...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Going back the 80s, I have super fond memories of Wizard's Crown and the Phantasy series (or was it "Fantasy"? No, not the Sega game). These aren't based on D&D but were CRPGs with a good amount of depth. Oh, and Bards Tale too. I miss being able to create my own party. Right around Ultima...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Finally completed this last night. Definitely one of the best games of all time. I don't typically enjoy turned based games nor the Bioware-esque dialogue choice stuff....but the story was genuinely interesting plus with the characters and voice acting made this an amazing experience. My only...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Wouldn't be worth the effort. I didn't have that much invested. I did manage to get my bank to reverse the transfer. So, they got screwed on that piece.

    It's not an ETF. It's through these guys. I buy gold, silver, and BTC. https://www.itrustcapital.com/

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I am currently holding BTC in an IRA account. However, this account is secured via 2 factor authentication app. My understanding is that these are nigh impossible to get around. Probably asking for trouble, I know.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's a damn good question. Basically, one day, my phone started getting lit up with SMS messages from Coinbase about activity on my account, and when I logged in everything had been liquidated and transferred out. I even had money wired from my bank account to Coinbase. I had 2-factor auth...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    One would think phones are becoming competitive in the hand held realm. Besides exclusives, what does Nintendo have going for it over an equivalently priced phone? Also factor in the increasing move to cloud streaming. Not seeing a bright future for Nintendo if they keep themselves locked to...

    I have a friend that loves griefing people. Even in co-op games.

    I mean, is it experiencing the same bugs? Or is it all network related?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This comment reminded me of my playthrough of Dark Souls. I had no understanding of encumbrance, so I was fat rolling around. I assumed it was because I was wearing heavy armor. Hey, I still beat the same though.

    Is the PS5 version largely bug free? Not seeing any complaints so far.

    I mean, I'll be shocked if they did this, but any indication they will change course for the TV series?

    Hazbin Hotel

    I didn't last 15 minutes. Not one laugh or chuckle, and woke shit right from get go. Maybe that's the target audience?

    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

    This looks potentially pretty good. But I fucking loathed Afterlife. For context, I adore the first Ghostbusters -- one of my favorite movies of all time. But didn't care for 2 and never watched the 2016 "remake".

    True Detective

    It doesn't matter. Someone that constantly swears for the sake of swearing will get annoying. Same goes for a TV character.

    True Detective

    Personally I'm having a hard time paying attention or caring. Unlikable characters. Jodi is a bitch who likes to say Fuck constantly. Black chick wouldn't be half bad if it wasn't for the massively distracting cheek piercings.

    True Detective

    So, at the beginning of episode 2, one of the frozen dudes started screaming, then cut to the intro sequence. And then no comment was made regarding this afterwards...!? Show is ok so far. Look, I'm no prude, but the shows lately that continuously spam F bombs grows tiresome. They eed to...
