Took literally ten minutes to install the Homebrew Channel via the Letterbomb exploit, and then a couple of hours to use CleanRip to rip all the discs I wanted ISOs of. Honestly faster than it would’ve been to find them and download them from torrent sites.

Your analogy here doesn’t work, like, at all. The portability of the Switch and Steam Deck are basically identical. The Deck is a bit larger and heavier, but neither of them are pocket sized. Both store their libraries internally, and/or use extremely portable external storage cards. Battery life is probably the…

I was initially pretty skeptical/ambivalent about the Steam Deck. The last portable I bought was the original Nintendo DS, and I don’t travel much (especially since the pandemic) so the utility of a portable gaming device when I have a perfectly good gaming PC at home, where I am 99% of the time, and my phone has got…

I’m hopeful that the combat rebalance mod that takes away the bonuses for Skull level enemies is integrated. I really want to go to town on witch hunters in Novigrad.

She didn’t ‘walk away’ there was a scheduling conflict with Furiosa. If Harry Styles hadn’t dropped out of Nosferatu when it was initially going to shoot and messed up the scheduling she would have been in it.

Pretty much, yeah. ‘Due diligence’ doesn’t exist in the Crypto world. Andreesen-Horowitz dropped over a hundred million dollars on Helium, and it turned out Helium was just flat out lying about who its customers were, nobody actually uses Helium’s network, and all the money Helium made and paid out to their miners was…

Honestly, don’t hate the idea. I really love the world of Horizon, so a live service/mmo Horizon game that provides a reason to spend time there with a steady stream of new quests and story bits seems like a cool proposition.

To add some perspective: $549 is actually significantly cheaper than other headsets with similar features, and PSVR2 beats many of those on other specs.

I believe Chris Colfer’s Union Bee is actually a Grim Fandango reference.

I’d rather them delay the season to work around Cavill’s schedule instead of recasting. Especially since I imagine Season 4 will largely be an adaptation of Baptism of Fire, which could be reworked to put the focus on Ciri and The Rats, and reduce the Geralt side of the story to smaller bits culminating in the Battle…

My fancasting for Reed for a while has been LaKeith Stanfield. But Chidi works too.

The way Rotten Tomatoes works is that the reviewers actually mark their own reviews as rotten or fresh. That’s why you’ll sometimes see a lowish score review marked as fresh because the reviewer thought it was dumb or poorly made, but they still had fun watching it.

So the thing about this is that Fortnite doesn’t actually mash every IP out there together at the same time, at least not beyond player skins. When they do the big themed seasons it’s just that theme.

In fighting sports like boxing and MMA if the killing blow was landed within the legal confines of the fight (i.e. the bell hasn’t been rung and the ref hasn’t intervened to separate the fighters), and wasn’t clearly intended to be lethal then it’s not considered murder or manslaughter.

They can use anything from the Appendices of Return of the King. Appendix A states that the Rings of Power were forged in Eregion.

According to Tolkien, these rings were also made in Eregion by Sauron, working in disguise as a being who called himself Annatar, but that’s not the way things seem to go in the show. Galadriel’s already wise to Sauron’s schemes, and she’s tipped off Celebrimbor as well, so another guy just showing up and…

I haven’t read a lot of the esoterica so I don’t know what Tolkien wrote about this, but my impression was that the relationship between Annatar and Celebrimbor was reciprocal, and that Sauron wouldn’t necessarily have been able to forge the other rings on his own. What feels weightless to me about this is that…

And that was with Meta only spending $10 billion this year on the technology. Who knows what another small fortune will bring?

There was this slightly off-kilter edge to his early stuff that kept them at least interesting, but after ‘I Heart Huckabees’ he veered really hard into Oscar bait crowdpleasers and lost that spark.

That Sauron scene was from the very first episode of the show. There’s very little new footage in this trailer.
