Re: General Film News

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_NKNZljoQ& Not really sure what to think of that, but I can't say I'm that enthusiastic. Given how much I loved Borderlands 2 (but liked each subsequent entry progressively less), I don't think I like how they've taken parts from the whole franchise and jammed them ...

Re: General Film News

That *could* be really good, and I guess I'm a little surprised that nobody's made a good modern-day US Civil War film (to my knowledge anyway), when it's a scenario that looked surprisingly realistic a few years back. Other than the ironic use of America the Beautiful, it doesn't look like it's ful...

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

I recently started playing Star Wars: Legion (basically Star Warshammer), and while I made a few little hills that looked reasonably good out of foam and sculptamould and plaster, I wanted some buildings too and just don't want to commit the amount of time it takes to make each one by hand. I do hav...

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

For people who've not picked it up yet but are thinking about it, it may be worth holding off a few days. They've added a maximum player limit to the servers as a temporary measure for server stability, meaning you now can't necessarily play when you want to. There's no queue number either so you ha...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I just generally assume that Trump is running because he wants to pardon himself for his many, many crimes. What baffles me is why it is not standard across the world for anyone seeking public office to have to take a basic mental competency test. Nothing complicated, just the sort of test that's us...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I still find it hysterical and utterly depressing that these two sentences can appear next to each other. https://i.imgur.com/6iHuJgG.png He's not just a liar, he's a recently convicted liar, and yet that's not seen as a hindrance to running to be the most powerful man in the country. The utter hypo...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I would take cold, I would take heat. I am just utterly fed up with middling temperatures, high winds and rain. https://i.imgur.com/kOqehtn.png I walk 6.5km to work (admittedly more out of choice than necessity; I don't drive but walking's preferable to busses which wouldn't be any quicker anyway), ...

Should probably mention I have a 5120x1440 resolution display as well so that's almost 4k too.

Re: Currently Playing

It's usually flawless for me, with the odd area (usually the larger, open ones, but sometimes smaller ones with complex lighting and obvious ray-tracing) where you can see a little slowdown, but never anything I'd describe as choppy. I've had a single game crash in ten hours. For reference this is o...

Re: Currently Playing

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Given how much of a Star Wars nut I am, and how excited I was for this, it's surprising I managed to hold off on it for this long to let them sort the various issues the PC version had (I don't have a current-gen console, so couldn't play it on anything else). It's been lar...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

To be honest, the fact that Donald didn't take the US out of NATO when he was president is still fairly astonishing considering how little regard he obviously has for the organisation and just how far up Vladimir's arsehole his tongue is.

Re: General Film News

Obviously I'm not bothered about it being MCU and all of the baggage that entails (I suspect I've got more tolerance for it than most here), I just hope to god they haven't Disney-fied it. I know there's a joke about being the first Disney mention of pegging in the trailer, I just don't want that to...

Re: General Film News

I was feeling a bit Marvel'd out a few months back, I think I got two episodes into Loki season 2 before just deciding to watch something else instead (not because I didn't like it, there were just things I wanted to watch more) and never went back. I ended up watching a few episodes of Secret Invas...

Re: General Film News

Did we know this was going to be a full-blown MCU film before now, or have I just not been paying attention? Are they effectively canon-ising all of the Fox films via the TVA?

I never did finish the second season of Loki. Maybe I ought to.
