rofl Spammer! Ban thyself!

Does this mean I can refund and if the package still arrives in a few days, it's free loot? Amazon is Kewl.

Not for the music but the dance covers: ....the guy in the santa hat is pretty good. This group/company has a large rotation of regular dancers, and a camera guy who's pretty good. I'm rather enjoying watching a lot of their videos.

Installed RE2/remake, spent about 20 minutes going through what seemed to be 2178 graphic/display options, started the game as Leon, saw it auto-saved at the spawn point, exited game. The options menu exhausted me apparently. (that and the 1.5 hour wait to download it)

I was thinking a cheap reverb software filter but either or. I forgot it was Xmas week and ordered some jerky off of Amazon. Page claimed it would be here before Xmas - actually it claimed Wed - but here it is Fri night and I'm still jerky-less. *cries*

Tried to watch the 1st episode of The Witcher. I'll agree Cavill fits the role/does a decent job but even from the very start action sequence I felt like I was watching SyFy or CW but with even less budget. Nothing wrong with that if the show is good overall (hey I still watch ST:OS right) but for me the pacing was a bit off and much of the dialogue and other actors felt rather stilted/shallow. There's nothing extremely "wrong" but things just feel a little off somewhere. I'll try to watch more later ... I've heard the last few episodes "get better". This is from someone who hasn't played the games (outside of an hour or two of TW3) nor read the novels, tho.

I caved and bought RE2-remake + Planet Zoo. Probably won't try them until tomorrow tho. Unless I can't sleep.

When you're in-game: "Ohhhh this night-time oceanside is so relaxing/beautiful!" When you're looking at the screenshot later: "...it's a tree and the sky is sorta blueish." Oh well.

Noticed Resident Evil 2 remake on Steam is around 20 bucks. Seems a good sale price and another spiffy action game to utilize the 4k goodness with (I built this machine I'm going to get use out of it, darnit) But what's the combat like? Is it really hard or convoluted mechanics-wise? Is there an easy mode? Since, y'know, I'm lazy as **** now.

Driver and Ridley have been getting praise for their acting in these films as is - and I thought they had some chemistry as yin and yang foils or whatever - which just makes one wish they'd had something more substantial to work/showcase their abilities with.

Happy Fur Holidays or something.

DMC5 (PC) - didn't finish (but it was pretty and sorta combat fun, I could understand why many may have liked it a lot) Dragon Quest Builders 2 (PS)- didn't finish but it's fun and an improvement on the 1st game. Borderlands 3 (PS) - finished. It's ok, not as replayable as the first two(at least in its pre-game of the year/no dlc's yet, state). I think everything else wasn't technically 2019 or more casual short indie PC and mobile games. Note: not finishing a game, for me these days, isn't always a reflection on game quality but more a reflection on my increasingly shortened game sessions and lack of patience/committed motivation.

When a wool cap just won't do. Edit: Ahhh, I guess I have to allow the googletagmanager script for it to embed... EditEdit: also, this one.

I saw some of those SW leak articles/videos but refrained from reading/watching. I still think the last two SW movies were at least entertaining, since I stopped caring about anything making sense. Not saying they're good movies, just fitfully entertaining. I do think it would have been much more interesting to have Rey and Kylo pair up. I don't mean romantically. Just the notion of a force-team that's not black or white ultragood or ultraevil but somewhere in the middle, with each having influence on the other as they try to build a whole new system. A balance of the force, so to speak. I kind of liked the whole "time to toss all that old stuff away" Kylo kept preaching. I feel like that should be Disney's mantra with the movies, because honestly there's just nowhere for the "Jedi/Sith" and "Resistance" lines to go, at least not in the way they're doing it. It's just utter repetition at this point and if they want to continue it as a film franchise, they need to change it up. That all said I'm curious enough about the last one that I think I'm going to see it in the theater. I haven't done theater in a long long time. I may walk out thinking it's the worst movie evah but for some reason I want to see it on the big screen.

Don't have a pic but the one re: pet/vet collars struck a chord. I used to just make ones for my cats out of heavy construction paper or flexible plastic sheets and duct tape.

Congrats, TN. And thanks, Azdeus ... I'm not googling the baby poop terms. That's the type of stuff that is a need-to-know thing, and I don't need to know. Unrelated: Sleepiness, laziness, blue-funk+boredom moods, access to online munchie buying. I think I gained 4 pounds over a month. Usually in winter the video game diet has me losing weight in winter but no video game obsession this year. I need to tie my hands behind my back or something.

I could not at all get into any Adam Sandler comedy (it would vary from "eh" to "omg, no") but that Uncut Gems has me curious/interested. Sometimes an actor/actress can be someone I think nothing of, until they suddenly do a genre/style switch up. Perhaps Sandler (for my tastes anyway) should've have been in more dramatic roles the entire time.

Another 80's flashback. This was fun too (ffwd to about 1:20 for actual song/singing) Never paid much attention to Sean Lennon but I liked this video I found.

Rented It part2. I'm beginning to think the 2nd half of that book is just impossible to film. To be fair, it was (imo) the weaker aspect of the novel - the kid stuff was always more interesting. But this film version had the same issue the old mini-series version had, namely some pretty over the top acting. I read reviews saying the Chinese dinner scenes were awesome but I thought it was terrible, maybe even worse than the mini-series. Also, film is too long. That said, there were decent moments and the ending monster/scene was much better than the old mini-series. Well, maybe except for the deflated clown aspect.

Been playing the "looking for a new title I think I might like enough to buy and failing every time," game.

My "solution" was to build a new Win10 rig for modern things/games that require it but keep the Win7 rig for anything that doesn't, including old games and email. After deleting bloatware and going through all the option checkmarks, I haven't had issue with constant Win10 messages/popups either. So far I delay updates as long as it allows (which is pretty long, I haven't done any updates for 4 months) and deal with such only once or twice a year that way. The only O/S reaction to delaying updates that I've had is the small icon in the tray with a red ! on it. :P

Watches "Free Guy" trailer. ...well, at least it should be better than Pixels.
