Carl Weathers

Inferno (1980) A visually stunning giallo with a great operatic rock track that nevertheless left me feeling unsatisfied. It just doesn't really hold up if you compare it to Suspira, which is in all ways I can think of a better film. Still, it's worth a watch simply for the visual experience and that one track really makes me feel like I had a dream of a horror film. But since it was a great looking film with at least one incredible track........... Tetsuo the Iron Man (1989) Rewatch This is like if someone made a feature length music video to accompany a very grimy industrial and I mean that completely complimentary. It's an incredible ride that is just so absurd you can't help but laugh hysterically. I have listened to a track from the soundtrack at least once a day since I watched it a few days ago. Thanks for reminding me of this @Bartimaeus

Mechanically? Aivu is pretty good, the superpowers are incredible to meh, the unique spells have some serious powerhouses, and if you're not running a bard the songs provide situationally great albeit limited utility. It's not as strong as merged caster Angel, merged caster Lich, or Trickster>Legend martial, but those are all extremely powerful and the Azata should be able to hold things down on at least Core.

Deadfire eventually being a success over the long term is a big reason why I'm more optimistic about the prospects of a PoE3 than I was half a year ago. While I myself wasn't the biggest fan of Deadfire it doing well over long terms shows that it has legs....and that maybe Obsidian screwed the pooch with the marketing. With these types of games having several examples of successes at different levels and the seeming willingness of Microsoft to greenlight smaller games like Pentiment, it's definitely within the realm of possibility that PoE3 happens in some form. Whether this is "BG3 but in Eora" or another 'isometric' (relatively) lower budget game is up in the air but we'll see when we see. While they certainly didn't hurt, I don't think BG or D&D have the kind of pull alone to explain BG3's successes as neither the "BG2 spiritual successors" or other D&D media* really have caught fire like BG3 did, relative to weight class of course. To explain the big success of BG3 I think along with the brand name of D&D we're looking at a combination of a sizeable fanbase for a recent game, viral content about the game driving attention, and it being largely well received by players and critics. The sizeable fanbase and lack of a big brand name is something that a hypothetical PoE3 would struggle with to get attention, but that's something that doesn't seem to be detering Microsoft from greenlighting other games including AAA rpgs like Avowed and that steampunk time travel thing. And I don't think an 'isometric' Fallout (which I'd like to see) would be a wide driver of hype, the base for that seems much smaller than the DOS fans if we're going by the closest analogue to it: Wasteland 3. *I'm excluding stuff like the live play podcasts because I think that's more due to the entertainers than D&D itself.

I think that with BG3 doing shockingly well there's a decent chance for a PoE3, perhaps even more if Avowed does well. We'll have to wait and see, but honestly I would not be surprised if we saw PoE3 announced in a year or two. Anyways I tried some more Fire Emblem Engage and absolutely got my ass handed to me by some spawns with massively boosted stats. I think that you're supposed to run from them but boy howdy it was a shock to get one rounded. Gameplay wise I'm torn on it because while it generally has the best encounter design of any recent Fire Emblem the magic anniversary rings are stupidly broken and aside from a handful of bosses are all player only things. The story is dog**** even by recent Nintendo standards and I'm embarrassed when the dialogue plays.

While I love Tetsuo the Iron Man I'd have to say that within the realm of Japanese cinema I'd probably rate Death by Hanging, Wild Zero, and Occult Bolshevism as in a similar lane of KP movies.

Wait, really? Did they just pull all of the episodes and/or did ge get kicked off the show?

When it comea to keeping copies I'd probably lean towards what @Bartimaeus does and keep things stored in a big honking hard drive instead of trying to catalog stuff on discs. Indeed that would lead to madness, but also goddamn tedium. I don't have much but I guess I should get started. Streaming has absolutely failed at curation, there's a substantial amount of films that you simply can not legally get access to via streaming or digital rentals while what's there is being divided into increasingly smaller walled off gardens with mediocre content sludge covering up everything. Anyways.... Johnny Guitar (1954) A psychosexual drama that takes place in a dream of the west or a generic 50's western. I can see it either way tbh. Near Dark (1987) An action-packed vampire biker western. It's good for what it is, but like Aliens sacrificed horror for action which isn't quite to my tastes. Lair of the White Worm (1988) Incredible. Definitely a step up in terms of horror compared to Near Dark and more genuinely wild than Crimes of Passion. Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) It's a nice slice of life for a struggling musician who's definitely an ****. There's more than a few times I did a giant belly laugh.

At this point any "can it be worse" question can immediately be answered with a yes. I didn't watch the trailer and have no opinions on the show.

Feature length cope lmao

I think a big reason why Germany is intervening, beyond the German government being extremely invested in Zionism for ideological and economic reasons, is that if Israel is found to be committing genocide* then Germany becomes an accomplice because they sold Israel a substantial amount of weaponry and backed them politically throughout the slaughter of Gaza. And because Germany has criminalized genocide denial, this means pretty much every member of the German government is now a criminal based on their own law. Of course I think it's likely that Germany just sidesteps a hypothetical guilty verdict, what good is the law if you can't rewrite it after all, but it's at the very least a legal kerfuffle that will need to get sorted out. *I think it's clear that Israel is committing genocide, what I mean is to have a legal institution declare that to be the case officially.

No. As much as the hater in me would like to give it a 0/100 review, I am opposed to numerical reviews on principle.

I have made thousands of posts on the Bethesda forums about how Starfield is a festering piece of **** and I have never played a minute of it.

So in addition to the boring ass randomly generated planets this game also has MMO quests? Lmao that's bad.

Danny Devito could single handedly defeat the Netherbrain.

I made some mac and cheese and steak. The mac used pecorino romano, gruyere, taleggio and marscapone and was fantastic. Probably won't do it for a while because it's a ton of calories and that cheese wasn't cheap, but it was good for a fancy take. For the steak I used the cold sear method and it wasn't the best, cooked a perfect medium-rare but lacking a good crust. I've heard that before, as well as.....older inventory being more likely to give to folks asking for well done.

I'm thinking of something like a bordelaise with pan sauce. It tastes very good and is a way to reincorporate the fond back into your steak. But red wine reductions with butter are luxurious regardless.

Donald Trump eats his steaks well done and slathered in ketchup.

Reported for poor taste. Aside from allegedly one very (in)famous case I can not think of anyone who puts ketchup on a steak. Who the hell actually does that? I typically like my steaks just seasoned or basted with butter, but sometimes a pan sauce can be pretty dope.

I didn't say cheese sauce or chilli because imo those are more things to put on top of fries than dip them in, but if we're going beyond dipping I'd rate putting chilli and queso on fries as top tier fries. Carne asada fries are also in that tier. I'll have to try the harissa and ketchup next time I have fries.

I turned 32. Maybe it's eating (marginally) better or exercising or reducing the intake of certain substances but I feel and look better than I did back in covid year 1. Huh.

The best FREEDOM fry dipping condiment is spicy ketchup (for something quick, mix ketchup with some hot sauce like sriracha). Believe me.

The Cat From Outer Space (1978) It's a Disney movie from the 70s, the wacky name was the best part of it. The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) Jesus ****ing christ, this is incredible. David Bowie as an alien, 70s surrealist scifi, TV as an addiction, incredible music, and perhaps the greatest sex scene to have ever been shot (I won't spoil it, but it is an incredible fake out). I am so happy I could scream. Absolutely incredible.

Finally got through TTA and played LoN for a while. So far I like the aesthetics of the frozen wasteland and the first shard area. Of course Owlcat does Owlcat and there's plenty of jank, and I have to say that I prefer the feelz of TTA in being an urgent struggle for survival while this feels like something that the party can take their time with. Perhaps the biggest complaint is the usage of the mercs who, so far at least, can't get the shard powers. Also wish the Android companion had a proper unique/new owlbrew archetype instead of Thundercaller that uses INT. As always for the Owlfinder games complaints aside I'm having fun. For me it's not BG3 good but there's a certain charm in this stupid **** that I can't help but enjoy.
