Let's switch gears and talk about a fantasy property that actually stands a chance at being good on TV. HBO partnered with the BBC for a His Dark Materials series, starring Dafne Keen, the girl from Logan, as Lyra. Hope it gets a fairer shake than last time.

Dwight is very disappointed in you, GD.

Both World Bosses up this week gave me gold. Underwhelmed by the RNG and itemization this expansion. Think I might be burnt out still from Legion, I can't seem get into this expansion at all despite dinosaur crap and cthulhu crap being my jam. Had fun the first week and the rest's felt like chores.

I kid, I kid.

My pets occassionally poop on my floor or scatch up my hand. Clearly, they treat me better.

People are like "feathers ruined dinosaurs, they're not scary" while people get their butts kicked routinely by pea****s and swans.

"Can you take me where you're going if you're never coming back?"

Oh, I think you misunderstood. It's the leaving them alone part I don't understand, not the putting them down for their own good part. Most pets I've had lived good lives until old age forced my hand, but I unfortunately had to have a kitten put down for a fatal disease (FIP) a few years back. Barely three months old. Held the scared little tyke until his last breath. That one hit hard, just seemed so unfair.

Jeeze, that's depressing. I always stay. I can't imagine leaving. One of our cats passed when kept overnight, cardiac arrest during morning physical, and it kills me he passed with strangers prodding at him. I can't imagine choosing that outcome on purpose.

Is that Sombra from Overwatch in the thumbnail?

We got Don Bluth cartoons. Fievel's family, Littlefoot's mom, the entire of The Secret of NIMH. YA novels aren't even close.

Read it, only remember his recipe for fake blood.

I watched the same and agree 100%, although I'm not a massive Stephen King fan (only book of his I read was IT) and I didn't feel overwhelmed by references but I may not have been catching 'em all. Really enjoying it so far but throughout episode 7 I was well and truly lost.

Some indie coming of age flick called 'Kings of Summer' that would have been mediocre if not for one of the kids being one of the most balls to the wall hilariously insane characters I've seen. It's like if you took a standard soppy indie flick and then let cartoon characters mentally control a single guy.

Making mods is where a lot of people start, and it's also a good way to find out if it's something for you, and if it is then what parts are. A lot of people move on quickly - being passionate about games does not always translate to being passionate about making games as I learned the hard way myself. Self-taught people generally make it further than people who did college courses because to get that far requires passion. Cool mod projects are a good way to fill up a portfolio with both proven projects from a usability standpoint as well as a way to show what you're passionate about. Of course, not everyone likes making mods and would prefer to work on their own projects - for inspiration, look at people like Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, who with the exception of some backend network code for the multiplayer version, made "Stardew Valley" all by himself: music, art, code, design, everything. And a bit of personal experience: If you end up trying to get work experience with internships and you end up with a company with more interns than employees, run for the hills and find a different place. I don't know about QA testing as an entry level position, the couple of places I worked at outsourced their QA.

Nah, it's handegg that's to blame.

Perhaps not the thread for you then.

Yes, that book is a laugh riot.

Watched 'A Quiet Place' and 'Ghost Stories' back to back and now my nerves are shot.

What a politically loaded statement. Have you considered going into politics?

The "Effing Crystal Meth Church" makes me laugh more than the joke they wrote.

To be fair, this is completely broken. Once you hit max level, you're suddenly a cowering little child compared to even the most basic mob and if you're PvPing be ready for 115's to stomp your 120.

Hello there, welcome to another edition of the music thread. I'm personally listening to "From Blown Speakers" by The New Pornographers. Last songs shared can be found below! Nice stomping beat.

Time for a refresh. New thread for your music sharing needs coming up. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/105250-music-listening-sharing/

Hello. Here's a thread for all the random video game news. Previous topics included Valve's support for Linux and trailers and new coming out of Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. PAX coming up soon too, I believe. *lowers pitch-fork* That's all good news. I'll give SteamOS a go since it's...free! Give it a few weeks. Right now Proton is only in the Steam Beta client and it has some issues (namely segfaulting) on some systems. I think we can expect some bumps in the road at first. Unless you want to be one of the first and provide Valve with bug reports and feedback, which is cool if you do want to do that, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're an experienced Linux user, I would wait until at least the first round of issues are worked out.
