  1. "Vote Putin" and "Halal"? Russo-Islamic Caliphate of Eurasia confirmed.
  2. Not yet. I'm desperately trying to beat Fire Emblem Engage on Maddening before DD2 drops because I don't want to get derailed again. From what I've seen I'm going to spend a few hours in it at least.
  3. As an aside....., since @Bartimaeus was talking about chins in the movie thread I can't help but think of Tarantino's massive chin. It could be used as a diving board, which he would probably enjoy.
  4. Holy ****, his former podcast co-host Robert Rundo is the guy who told nazisconcerned citizens who lean a little to the right how to hop the border to Mexico to avoid federal charges. Was just listening to a podcast about him recently, very serendipitous, hope both guys truly have a bad time and get a ticket to hell asap.
  5. I was thinking mostly the same, but I got a bias towards gishes so maybe I'll go for Spearhand or whatever the Thief/Mage is. The Trickster looks interesting but also not really my thing.
  6. I'm hyped but I wish they'd let us see more classes. I got the feeling Ranger is gonna be the advanced for the archer, but I'm interested in what they do for the thief's advanced vocation. Also Trickster and Warfarer don't follow the standard color mapping of hybrid vocations (they don't use two of the base colors bisected like the mystic spearhand or magic archer) so maybe there's more of them than the six hybrids we'd normally expect.
  7. I dunno, maybe Lynch understood Dune better than all of us and Kyle MacLaughlin's Paul Atreidis is a villain. While I haven't read the books but from what I've seen Space Lawrence of Arabia who manipulates the religious beliefs of a colonized people in order to take revenge and seize power certainly is a legit read on Paul and is undoubtedly villainous. That's certainly a more interesting story than the conventional heroes journey. Timothee Chamalet (I don't know if I mispelled it and I don't care tbh) looks like a grown up starving Victorian child. I would have cast Kristen Stewart or Lakeith Stanfield as Paul Atreidis.
  8. Night of the Comet (1984) - Chakotay plays an 80s horror movie in the holodeck. It's not bad, there's several well done scenes and it's genuinely a more interesting take on zombies than I've seen in most films, but it is extremely 80s in every way but the obligatory nude scenes most other 80s horror flicks have.
  9. A beef and mushroom ragu with a simple salad and sheet cake for desert. I'm satisfied.
  10. My hype level for this is rising, hopefully I can finish my Maddening run of Engage before it releases or it may get interrupted just like last time with BG3.
  11. Admittedly I'm not the biggest Star Wars guy, but I took the Darth Plagueis story to be more of Palpatine trying to trick Anakin into falling by tempting him with something, especially because his promise went unfulfilled. And Star Wars cloning doesn't seem to replicate the person so much as create a biological copy of them, while Return of the Jedi: Abrams version had it definitely as Palpatine himself, not Palpatine's body double. But really it was just a bad move for the reasons you've already mentioned. It's clear that the only plan for the sequel trilogy was to try and print money off the brand name and that the trilogy was greenlit without even an outline which is questionable storytelling but apparently good bizness. Moreover, the obvious answer would be to have just introduced Abeloth. I think we can all say 2 hours of Star Wars Cthullu would have been better than what actually happened.
  12. "Somehow, Palpatine returned" ...... I think the bigger problem isn't the talents of professional writers per se as the studios being increasingly neurotic and businesses wanting to overwork everyone while not paying ****. So the only ones who can reliably work in Hollywood are nepobabies while talented people from less wealthy backgrounds get burned out in the gig economy instead of being able to create....all while studio execs burn down hundreds of hours of work for a tax break because the algorithm told them 1000 pound twin housewives would be better. It's all a ****show.
  13. Yeah that's worse than I'd have thought. Mostly I'm just sad about Nintendo both being sue happy IP trolls and bizarrely unwilling to curate their classic titles. I can see doing one or the other, but doing both is just head scratching.
  14. Knowing nothing about this I have to say it sounds incredibly dumb on the part of Yuzu. We all know Nintendo can be extremely litigious and to test them by trying to scalp them on their biggest release in years is asking to get your ass buried in lawyer drama. That said Nintendo's track record of preservation is atrocious and it's sad that what was one avenue for preserving a rich catalog has effectively been demolished. I'm thinking back to the N64, GameCube, and even Wii games that will likely never be able to be played legally without hunting down old consoles and physical media.
  15. Moar Fire Emblem Engage - Maddening The main chapters aren't that hard but holy **** the paralogues are brutal. The Ike one has a great "oh ****" moment where Ike just blows up half the map and you get rushed by everything from the top of the map and stupid busted reinforcements (with no xp gain from fighting) that pop up to **** up your backline. If Ike had used Great Ather I'd have had to restart.
