No.

Salma is a better dancer, at least in those scenes, she's much more fluid and languid. I have no comment or care about which is more beautiful/hot but Salma has better dance fluidity.

Gosh darn it, fired up FFXV for first time in 2.5 months, just wanted to check an info detail real quick, in and out type thing, end up Ansel-ing for two hours and taking 10GB of screenshots. Why does this game +graphics + Ansel = instant crack??

Someday I will reupholster my mom's very simple couch. Which I still love because it's not all poofy or designer or made for people with 5 foot legs like everything they do today. ...I can't even find an image of old 50s or 60's couches that looks remotely the same. Some semi-close maybe but not really.

I hear CBS/online is going to do a 10 episode remake of The Stand. Which I won't see unless "everyone" thinks it's the bees knees and they sell it on DVD, but it does make me curious who could be cast as Flagg, as well as others. Matthew McConaughey might be good but I think he was in Dark Tower so maybe not good to put him in another King? Plus he's typically film over TV. Just not familiar enough with "this generation" of actors to think of good choices... The old mini-series nailed a few of the cast choices imo but really dropped the ball on others. I never liked that they made Harold skinny from the start, either - I hope they don't do that this time around and use special effects or whatnot. I also wish it could be 12 episodes. 10 still feels just a bit too short.

Yeah I'm sorta that way. I don't like super sweet sauces. I've had some BBQ sauces that weren't very sweet however, and not ketchup-thick. More like a thick marinade that you just brush on a bit and adds some nice flavor without being heavy or 20lbs of sugar. Like I love teriyaki that is just soy sauce with a bit of sugar and garlic in it but most US "teriyaki" that is super sweet/corn syrup'd+pineapple isn't my thing at all.

I don't know if this really qualifies as news, but I learned today that the guy (no team, just a single guy) who made the game Banished is working on something new. Very very early stages and he hasn't really specified what kind of game, just talking about programming and art tests in some posts on his site blog. http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/ But if it's any sort of city-builder aspect - which it sounds like it may since he's talking about chr. AI, pathing and needs, etc - I might become very interested. I loved Banished. So maybe in a couple years we'll have more details or an early access or who knows.

Move to the Bay Area and you too could find a great single-family home deal like this one! http://www.ktvu.com/news/burned-out-property-in-willow-glen-sells-for-over-900k (yes that's land value but it's still funny in a painful sort of way...) When I was a kid it was still over-expensive here sure, but nothing like it is now. I think only NYC is worse, cost-of-living, housing vs income, and the like, than here. So out of control....

I haven't caught up with the previous thread in a while, was there a flame war? I did use YouTube last night to look at a fair number of "upcoming 2019/2019 releases" and most of the ones I saw were, imo, same ol' same ol. Nothing that just leaps out at me, at least. I also noticed that Subnatica has a new EA for basically Subnatica:frozen version. I still haven't played the first one, but I do like the ice environment more than anything tropical-ish.

From a few nights ago. Pork "riblets" and beef full ribs. Messy looking and a 10-napkin affair, but pretty tasty and certainly tons of meat on the ribs so you don't feel gyped. From a pizza place we used to go to years ago - heard they did a lot of BBQ now (as well as pizza) so we had to try that. Hubby liked it a bit more than I did I think - tasty as it was, I still prefer Asian styled meats (Japan, Korea, China etc) vs. typical American BBQ. Does depend on the sauce itself however, ofc.

^ Still just Steam for me ... I mean I buy games from GoG too, but I don't use their client. I don't have any serious issues with other clients existing (I have no loyalty mantra with Steam, they're just the one I used first - because, Obsidian/FO:NV, which for at least a year was the ONLY game I had on Steam), but I just can't personally be bothered. There are very few games on the other clients/digital store options I care about anyway and I can do without them well enough. I suppose if there are ever dozens of games on other clients that I really really wanted, I might bother then. In the meantime...I just don't think about it is all. I barely think about Steam either.

Velvet Buzzaw/Netflix "original" ...great cast, disappointing movie. I watched it all because of the cast and because I kept waiting for the actual "horror" parts. There aren't many and they're nothing much. Didn't feel cohesive, jumping around between some characters that you never care about and not making any sense. One chr. in particular seems somewhat sympathetic early on but then does this total 180 into a ***** for no shown reason other than the script says so. The actors do what they can but ... yeah. The best part was one chr/actor being in the background during the credits. Edit: there *is* some minor appeal to the satire re: art snobbery, but that wasn't enough for me

Sitting here trying to decide if I should buy Aven Colony (sci-fi/city builder type) from GoG because it's only eight bucks and a quarter. I could download it and save it for a rainy day. Mixed reviews tho. Hm. Anyone tried it?

Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader, still some of my ultimate fave soundtracks, where I didn't dislike a single track. The uploader didn't remember the track apparently (theme, the chant, and combat tracks were probably most known), but I remember watching the workers march across the castle grounds or grass to deliver goods with this playing, all the time. It was sort of the "castle idly going about its business" track maybe. Sigh. 1st time playing a game memories. Edited: oops I meant Crusader, not SH2. SH2 sucked.

I also prefer a pretty spartan life. I'm kind of like that at this point in my life as well. Not that I don't buy things, but I don't buy/collect a lot of physical things anymore, outside of household type necessities. That said, if they wanted to create/print a paper making of/guide/artbook combo of some sort, I'd pay $30-$60 for that (edit - maybe a bit more), depending how thick/fancy it was (don't care about hardcover or super fancy myself, oversized softcover is fine). Digital version is not at all the same and I don't care much about those, sorry.

$49.99

Muted isn't a bad word for how I've been feeling lately as well. I need to get out more, to be honest, but at the same time I dislike going out in any city-ent. sense and it takes too long through constant street traffic to get to true open space and back again now, so I usually just stay home/in the yard except for 20-30 min. walks around the neighborhood to stretch my legs. :/ At the moment I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver weekly order + weekend munchies. Supposed to rain a lot I think so this weekend might be mostly indoors. Unless it's really stormy, then I might go out with the raincoat and a camera. Y'know that poster pic from Unbreakable where Bruce is in the rain in his poncho? That's me. Minus the superpowers. Or the "looks kinda creepy" factor. Plus I'm not Bruce. Um...never mind.

Reading this made me suddenly miss Richard Jordan and want to binge watch his scenes from several works.... Not familiar with Pedro Pascal but searching his images ... I can see it. Duncan Idaho was probably my fave chrs. from the original novel.

I used to herd cats but these days I just garden and play video games.

Btw, I'm not dissing Michael Dorn. He did what he could and my boredom with Worf wasn't actor-related. I just didn't find TNG Klingon's interesting or entertaining. As to the female outfits - it's kind of funny how the female tight "bunny suit" chr. evolved with the different series. I still remember when Troi was promoted and wore the standard blue/black Starfleet uniform later, imo she was actually more beautiful in that then that silly purple outfit which I thought was actually unflattering on her. Of course you can go all the way back and chuckle over Uhura and the other female's super-short 60's mini-skirt uniform where their uniform-underwear was constantly on show. But at least that costume probably didn't make anyone faint.

There are exactly three Worf "moments" that I found memorably amusing (still easily recall them today) and one was more of a Data moment. "Good tea, nice house." "I'm beginning to see the appeal of this program!" (A Fistful of Datas) "This does not remind me of you." (Data to Worf as Worf is picking out a wedding gift) I found his character largely boring and I wanted his son to be shipped back to Earth post-haste. The son's mother was a cool chr. tho, I was ticked about her demise, I wanted to see her in more guest shots. Also, that blue Klingon head in that posted picture is just "what?" Even worse than the classic to TNG jump, imo.

I feel like STD could maybe use a different acronym. Then again, I find it rather amusing every time. I still haven't seen any of it because I refuse to subscribe. Since I liked Flashpoint a lot, thought I'd try this series called Durham County, one of those single-crime-story (not episodic) series which stars one of the leads from Flashpoint. 2 episodes in it's slow, rather odd, and features zero likable characters. Not in the "bad acting" way - but the slightly annoying/whiny or stupid-decisions to the ***hat you want to punch in the face way. Probably won't continue.

I've been playing on PS4 this round (last time I played PC version was at original release, didn't feel like reinstalling it/blizzard service) so the UI is different for the controller. Most things are (so I read) pretty much the same otherwise between versions (minor update differences here and there at times). Edit: I think Indira is playing PC version, from the screen Edit edit: PS4 main Seasonal chr. menu/comparison:

I had some toast, a pear, and a yogurt. I know, I know, I live on the culinary wild side, what can I say. ...I've had a hankering for some homemade lasagna however. My really fattening, sausage-laden, no ricotta-cheese (mozz, cheddar, other shredded cheeses) lasagna, that is.
