My wife and son like home renovation shows so we've been watching Hack My Home on Netflix. It's like the other shows of its type but the gimmick is "hacks" which you get tired of hearing really quick, and by which they refer to almost everything as. They do a lot of cool and neat projects where it's usually about optimizing space so they do a lot of hidden and transforming things. I do wonder about what the family is going to do if some of that tech breaks but since the show pays for literally everything, unlike almost all HGTV shows, I can give that a pass.

Took my first mine. Well, it was the second mine I tried. The first mine(somewhere to the north a bit) that I tried was way too tough for me to beat right after starter island. Or maybe I just suck, either way, I can't wait to play again tomorrow.

I think I hate all the recruits I've trained. They keep running through a gunner's overwatch and getting everyone killed.

I just got wiped out trying to take an underground bunker but I enjoyed it. Don't remember the last time I enjoyed a fight that I lost, maybe because I was way outgunned but still nearly pulled it off.

I figured I'd start a thread on this since it seems like there are several of us playing this at the moment. I'm starting a new game now as I type this. I downloaded the Show Chance to Hit mod from the Nexus but other than that it's vanilla.

I'd swap Skywalker and Rogue One but agree with the rest, especially what you wrote about to The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

I've been craving kimchi tacos so I'm making that. Super sick though so I doubt it'll match the flavor I'm searching for.

I keep trying to click continue

I'm about to restart because Omryn has been letting me down too

I didn't hate PoE and thought that each release was an improvement but I was always still disappointed for some reason. I think what bothers me the most is that I really want to understand why it didn't meet my expectations but I'm really fuzzy on why exactly. Probably death by a thousand cuts more than just one big thing. I could never be a critic, that's for sure.

Also wondering if the show is actually getting better or if my taste is getting worse. Wife and I have been enjoying this season more than the last though she liked season one a lot more than I did. Kirk's brother's middle name is Sam unless they changed his name from George Samuel Kirk which I believe it was in TOS. Son has been watching Transformers Prime on Netflix and I hate it.

I actually don't mind the treknobabble not being up to snuff. My knowledge of most of the science is very limited so as long as they can pass that low bar I'm not going to notice. For the stuff that I do notice, it'll probably depend on if I think they tried or not, which is obviously unknowable. It might even just come down to the actor's delivery of the lines or my bias against nuTrek.

JA3 on GOG

I don't know why but I have the same issues with the PoE games and I also can't explain it. They just don't click for me for some reason even though on paper they totally should.

You shouldn't have any problem with your plan, it actually works out quite well. It's just if you were going to try to remake Geb or something then that's not going to pan out.

Isn't this... Restartitis got me again and I'm doing an Aeon to Devil cheat game where my Tiefling is a Crossblooded/Overwhelming Mage Sorc and Virtuous Bravo Paladin gestalt character. At Leper's Smile now.

Currently rewatching Psych after finishing up Family Matters. I always get a laugh that the show began as a spin off of Perfect Strangers and a one off character ends up becoming the main character. Even worse is that the main character that comes over from Perfect Strangers, Harriette, gets recast in the final season. Other than that the writer strike has killed off most of what I watch during the week. I guess I also watched 65 on Netflix. It was a movie.

I grabbed the XTX on a prime day deal. Hope it doesn't suck

Grilled. Made some chicken thighs with a white BBQ sauce but finished it with red sauce that I splashed some citrus into. Beef ribs with a dry rub in the pressure cooker because I don't have all day and finished on the grill with a brown sugar honey BBQ sauce. Corn on the cob also made a brief appearance. I thought I was making enough for at least 2 days but there are almost no leftovers

Once again we had 2 full weeks of fireworks leading up to the 4th and fireworks every day since. It wouldn't be so bad if they stopped at a decent hour but they go until early in the AM. Keeps my son up, scares my dogs, and occasionally makes my PTSD flare up.

I have similar feelings about the show. I think it's the best of Kurtzman Trek by a wide margin but it still has that stank on it. My wife loves the show, though not as much as The Orville, as all the things that bother me, she either doesn't notice or it doesn't bother her as much. Have they announced any new Trek shows since STD, Picard, and Prodigy are done? I haven't been paying attention. Though I suppose I am on the interwebs and could look it up instead of typing all this out. *Looks like maybe Star Star Trek Fleet Academy.

FUBAR - we finished the series even though it didn't pull us in and was pretty bad in parts but it was easier to finish watching than find the remote. If that isn't a ringing endorsement then I don't know what is.

It definitely took a turn into heresy. My latest game has been paused to resume a WOTR playthrough.

Is there a year cutoff?
