    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    I'm only 6 episodes in, but so far my impression is that the books do a much better job of introducing and developing the overarching ideas, while the show's doing a better job of having a single coherent and compelling story. I'm definitely very curious to see what they do with future seasons...

    Milkshake Ducks - The official thread of falling from grace

    You know, even as someone who never really connected with Harry Potter, it still makes me sad to see her reacting to the possibility that people don't read/don't like her work by saying "oh well, got your money!"

    Random Video Game Crap

    On the other hand, a google search for "mentally stunted" does in fact auto-populate with results for "emotionally stunted," which seems to have a specific meaning that isn't the same as throwing out the r-word for the sake of being prejudiced and insulting. In this case, I think how you...

    [Other] Do we even deserve a general mental health thread?

    Ooh, the slow burn spammer.

    A.I. is B.S.

    That's literally what happened here though, right? An AI writing comedy and attributing it to someone who's long dead, presumably to get more views and income for whoever controls the AI? It's gross.

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    I really like the books, but even after seeing the trailer I'm not convinced that they can be turned into any kind of decent tv show. I can only imagine half hour interludes to explain all the concepts to the audience and people giving up on it when they still don't understand what the hell is...

    What are you playing?

    I finished my first Rogue Trader playthrough, and for the most part the things I said before hold up. The game is fun, VERY 40k, and buggy almost to the point of being impenetrable. I got ending slides that were fully contradicting each other, and pretty much back to back at that. All of the...

    What are you playing?

    A lot of the combat displays are like that. Bursts and area attacks have percentages that are at best tangential to the actual outcomes, listed damage ranges are sometimes off by orders of magnitude with no real way of knowing until you take the shot (I've had some listed with a range of 150-200...

    What are you playing?

    Rogue Trader is fucking great, except for the times where it's totally bullshit trash. Chapter 3 is the worst gaming experience I've had in quite a while. Also those cruising events are fun for as long as the unique events last; if you're fully exploring the systems it pretty quickly devolves...

    3d printing

    They definitely have. Top of the line (for individual use anyway) 8k printers are pretty incredible now.

    3d printing

    Sure, but if you're 3d printing minis you're comparing against Warhammer and the like, and $10 of resin is nothing compared to $50-100+ for the same model in a store. A printer is something I definitely intend to buy at some point, but the cost and ventilation requirements combined have it well...

    Rockstar isn't even willing to pay to have a PC port at the release of their games, they're not going to invest in something as frivolous as security!

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    The point that's hopefully being conveyed here is that, even in situations where the person doing it has no intention of racism, it can be a shitty thing to do. I don't think that anyone on the side of "it's fine to make fun of his name" is taking that stance because they hate Indian people and...

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around "I make fun of his name as a criticism of his movies, obviously!"

    Or to just call him M Night if you don't know how to spell it, not like anyone will be confused about who you mean.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    Sure, I don't disagree with that. Having a conversation with them about why it might have more of an impact on the teacher than on themselves or their fellow students seems like it'd be a fair response that might lead to a learning moment, too. Sending them to the principal's office, presumably...
