Always hate starting a new job, as you take time to spin up but in the interim there's a feeling of being superfluous. But is only two days into it, so need to mix in with the rather small crew of people in the office. At least it is familiar product, albeit inferior in many ways to the place I was working before.

Tooling around with Rome TW2. Sparta keeps declaring war on me and then offering me money for peace, is quite weird.

Desperate for Jedi and better to get hooks in him as a raw user rather than risk any dark side people pick him up. Well could kill him in that case, but that is not light side.

Pft, should have made the case shaped like an SSD.

Palpatine is pretty clever. Well ok, helped by his enemies being stupid but one does as much as one has to. Kylo Ren starts off pretty cool at the village attack. Then he starts talking more and takes off the mask

Well the reason was to get the map from Max Von Sydow. And want no witnesses I guess.

Came across a good quote, from RTW2 of all places, but it suits the occasion - "Far better is it to have a stout heart always, and suffer one's share of evils, than to be ever fearing what may happen, and never incur a mischance"

Then he's even more boring, never really see him achieve much (buuuut this is Star Wars where the bad guys' competence is never shown). He's going to die at Kylo Ren's hands once he's finished his training montage and leveled up, the Sith tryhard has to be like Vader after all I am just glad they didn't write Ren having to say "these wounds will not heal" as gold as that would have been

Tbh. I lol'd at all three of them. 2 and 3 got a laugh, 2 because of the spotlight and way everything pauses for..The Moment. 3 because the staring went on way too long, became sort of creepy and awkward.

That's why you don't take kids.

Well that was weird, forum ate my post, swore I saw it here. Anyway, just was that 3 hours isn't always 3 hours to an observer. TFA flowed quick, so it didn't even feel like the 2 hours it was.

I am surprised Finn didn't lose his spine

Or abduct everyone here and force them to compete in a gladiatorial tournament.

And I thought my life was dull... Still not done the shower reno, apparently cutting custom glass for the door is going to take 10 days (?!). Which will be annoying as I won't be home to help my mom with the dogs and contractors, etc. so will have to badger another family member into WFH sometimes. Meh.

Aim higher, three chicks at the same time.

Dude had the most epic of photos on his wiki article. Sad.

Deus Ex, XCOM, Stellaris

Well, what if the present is food for the day.

Not sure Stalin did it to the extent that the First Order did supposedly, what with them taken from birth and indoctrinated (apparently Finn is special or skipped classes). First Order seem just as soulless as the Empire, even when silently fisting the air. I guess I was expecting a less frenzied screeching speech, if I had to expect a speech, something a bit more cold. I don't need to feel some emotional impact by it, just don't need to get a sense of someone trying too hard. The guy playing Hux wasn't all that bad, the snarky bits with him and Ren acting like **** grad students aside.

Never did I say it wasn't realistic, just didn't find it good for an imperious speech. Seems unnecessary in a way as well, no need to inflame the passions of a brainwashed army. Hate was meant to be hat. Sorry, did that post on mobile.

Nahh, the bad guys are always pasty British is a staple. Heh, though now that I recalled it, I can't get over that stupid hat he's wearing - what purpose does the wing like things at the side serve ?! . The guy playing Hux does have nice teeth though, that's one thing in his favour. Some things changed in appearance from the OT make sense, the armour, the fighter designs (as if anything was wrong with the original X-Wing ). Not sure what the new stormtrooper rifles are improved by having white fairing though.

Hire a lot of hitmen.

How did it work the first time, depleting the star is a bit final. As for Hux's screeching speech with that silly hate, was the delivery. Not sure what my expectations have to do with it being crap or not. It is funny how the big death was done on a stage with the major characters taking a time out from the mission to watch, spotlight and all
