Dang, I didn't realize Oglaf did storylines this long. Fun stuff!

It sure as hell isn't a Shower Thought

I think that's a letter from the Yautja alphabet

What gets me is that they are always fucking spotless. My '09 Ranger is all dirty, scratched up, with various straps and ropes in the bed.

God forbid they use their truck like a truck.

Rumor is he dies in the first 20 minutes. To "make the plot intense and unpredictable".

Nothing against the actor, but creating a boring character to hang the plot on was always a dumb decision for a franchise with lore like Mortal Kombat.

I think there was a lot more going on than that. Benioff and Weiss wanted out. They wanted to collect all their accolades and move on to fresh IPs. HBO was happy to give them more money and time to construct full-length seasons, but they chose to push the last two with shorter runs.

I think if they had handed the show off to fresh showrunners ready to build on the existing plot threads and pacing of the show, we'd be looking back on it very differently.

I would add Neil Newbon to the list that really stood out. I thought his acting through the end of Astarion's quest line was the best in the game.

Yeah, this is one meme template that comes with too much baggage

I know people hate the idea of console exclusivity, but without it, that's what really killed the Xbox for me. I've got a gaming PC and a PS5 (not Pro), and I could afford an Xbox Series X if I really wanted to. I simply don't know of any games on the platform that I want and can't get somewhere else.

And that's not coming from a reflexive Microsoft hater. I had an OG Xbox (and loved the old Duke controller), 360, and One S. I just barely played the latter.

They run good deals on audio books and Pathfinder material every once in a while. Otherwise, yeah, been a while since I saw a game bundle that was worth the money.

Would it be feasible to bring your own bags? I picked up a cheap 10 pack of fabric bags and they are sturdy enough I can usually fit a week's worth of groceries in two or three of them

 

It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

 

From Steam's self-published stats.

Baldur's Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam's bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.

Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.
