Yeah, I liked the gorn episode, but it kinda came out of left field. I mean, it didn't help that in my head every time they would talk about the gorn in earlier episodes I would think of the dude in the green lizard suit, so I had this comical picture in my head of all these people being terrified of a guy in a silly outfit and was not mentally prepared for an alien remake...

I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see it, but the trailer did not do a great job of getting me excited to see this. It looked like it would be a made for tv movie that they'd stick on the Disney channel or something.

Can't decide if I'm more excited for a Rabbit Unicorn or an Elemental Raccoon.

For the Alpha creature type, a few possible interesting ones that would fit with the Wilds fairy tale theme might be:

  • Cockatrice
  • Pegasus
  • Paladin
  • Nymph
  • Basilisk

There's others like Goblins, Elves, Knights, Faeries, etc., but the ones above haven't had (as far as I know) any draft support in the past, and I assume he means it's a tribe that hasn't gotten such support before. Who knows, though, maybe we'll get Will-o-the-Wisp tribal!

You'll have to fight me, Tim Eagames, for him! But not before we join forces to best Samantha Bethesda, our sworn nemesis.

And you don't even have to rewind the tapes

It's true you don't have to rewind the DVDs, but I always do just because I really appreciate everything the library provides to the community. Anything I can do to make the librarians jobs easier, you know?

The expanse is great! Highly recommend it, and the books are even better.

The cynical part of me wants to say that's by design. That reddit wants to get rid of good moderation tools so that it can allow more paid astroturfung to get more revenue.

Spiro's letter complains about Meta hiring some of the many workers who were laid off or resigned from Twitter in the eight months since Musk bought the company.

"Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of former Twitter employees... these employees had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information," Spiro wrote in the letter to Zuckerberg. The workers, he alleged, "owe ongoing obligations to Twitter," and many "have improperly retained Twitter documents and electronic devices."

"We fired a bunch of people and you hired them to build the same thing they built for us! Not fair not fair!"

I'm in the same boat with oblivion and Skyrim. Add Morrowind to that list as well. I love open world games but have a hard time finishing them because I get distracted by side quests and then distracted by life, stop playing for awhile, then when I pick it back up I forget where I left off, have a hard time remembering the mechanics, don't want to restart from scratch, and just move on to something else. Now I've been playing (and replaying) mostly linear fps games like all the old Jedi knight games, the halo games, and a few other games that are more "on rails" that I know I'll be able to finish.

I found a Firefox extension to do the same. Handy if I occasionally find a gem worth keeping, but yeah, the quality is not as great as a Blu-ray rip would be.

Fmovies.to is great for finding shows and movies. Just make sure you have a really good ad blocker on your browser.

I use fmovies.to and they look identical. I'm assuming they're run by the same folks? If it is, just make sure you have a very good ad blocker, because otherwise the site is unusable without it. With it, though, it's absolutely amazing, especially their subtitle support. Sometimes I'll watch a show on fmovies instead of the actual streaming service the show is on because the subs are somehow better than the ones from the actual streaming services.
