Garriott’s actually kind of okay here - in this case, his organization has submarines that have already explored the titanic a few times. This is one of the few times when this rich tech leader can actually contribute, because they’ve already done similar things and actually do have resources.

It’s not a case of Elon…

Or people think you really like the later entries in the Ultima RPG series (but I’m showing my age in that reference).

Bluey is a genuinely good show, and the creators have gone on-record and said that The Simpsons is one of their inspirations in terms of making a show that kids and adults can enjoy. Peppa Pig with the occasional joke for the parents this is not. I might be biased though, since I’m from the city Bluey is set in.

Now maybe nerf Death. That’d be cool to not keep running into her. Already fighting off Death irl

1. Nobody ever opens it to see what it is. As soon as Adar gets it, he walks out of the cottage, says ‘Waldreg, I have a task for you.” Then the Numenoreons attack and it’s not seen again until waldreg is turning the key. Adar must have given it to him off screen there.  Then Adar rides off as a distraction/decoy.…

It’s a triumph of adaptation. We all know what’s going to happen, yet they made it episodic and compelling, while compressing thousands of years of history into a coherent narrative.

I love this show, every single second of it. I don’t care if it’s slow at times, or it messes with Tolkien’s timelines or whatever. Tolkien’s books will always be there, I will always be able to return to them. This show takes the world and fills it with interpretations of the events from the books - it’s not a…

That was a hell of an episode. The orcs weren’t just fucking around, digging tunnels, and scorching earth. They had a very specific public works project in mind.

I would have bet you money a year ago that all six Pixel Remasters would be on consoles by holiday 2022 at the absolute latest, that there’s still no word is super weird. Plus, on the Switch especially, it’s weird that I can play FF7-12 (not 11, yeah) but not the six originally released on the NES and SNES.

Even more surprisingly - where are my goddamn Pixel Remasters??? It’d be the easiest thing in the world to suddenly have Switch contain FF I thru XII (without XI, of course).

War of the Lions with the slowdown cleaned up when, though?

My favorite is the people bleating about how the show made Galadriel a “Mary Sue.” As if Tolkien didn’t break his pencil listing how she was the bestest of the best at every single thing (Athletics! Lore! Tall! Best hair!). They need to take it up with him.

Review bombing has got to be the most small dick energy thing I’ve ever seen in my life. You know your life is fucking dogshit if you’re getting this mad over a Lord of the Rings TV show.

He looks like a guy who will not shut up about the fact he owns a boat. 

Thank God for piracy. But this notion of removing first-party content from their own library is baffling to the point of suicidal. Its trading long-term revenue for a short-term tax bonus, which you only do when you either need money now, or aren’t concerned with that long-term. What it is, is stripmining your own…

The creator of the show is on Twitter, where he’s openly encouraging people to pirate it.

Good news: all your favorites are all streaming on Plex!

The fact that he kept tinkering with the water heater, making a mild nuisance into an unbearable racket is classic Walter White.

It’s kind of nice that, as it turns out, what is almost certainly our last glimpse of Walter White in this world isn’t the Nazi-killer super-scientist managing to effortlessly outwit his enemies one last time, but the pompous, bitter and frustrated pedant who can’t even let a harmless thought experiment about time…

Too bad Qui-Gon never learned that “shrug off getting impaled on a lightsaber” trick that all the Inquisitors seem to know
