  1. The new patch dropped a new epilogue, which is another party in the campsite several months after. No really big additions or spoilers, but it leaned pretty hard on the prospect for a future adventure. Personally I'd be cool with Baldur's Gate 3: Descent into Avernus...Again, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
  2. Finished up Tokyo Ghoul....a while ago and forgot to post about it. I enjoyed it quite a lot, the more surreal and mindscape parts worked very well for me. I'd reccomend the anime (Tokyo Ghoul > A > :re) to anyone who liked Ergo Proxy or is down for like 40-something episode seinen sci-fi. Also.....rewatched Hellsing. It's......well it's extremely edgy and the cgi hasn't aged well but it's a fun ride nonetheless.
  3. Fire Emblem: Engage - Maddening Every cutscene or dialogue makes me feel embarrassed and the (optional) skirmishes give the Pathcat Owlfinder games a run for their money in terms of being stupidly punishing, but the main route encounters are consistently well designed in a way that's tactically challenging but also fair for the most part. However I'm only about halfway in and the emblems I got are already starting to break the game so I assume when I collect 'em all my army of shonen stock characters will start to steamroll everything.
  4. Shane MacGowan
  5. If we're assigning a body count to Kissinger then we're looking at 3 million being a conservative estimate, to say nothing of the other horrors and lasting damage caused by his stratagems. Hitler would have had a much bigger body count than the Holocaust and WW2 had he been in power longer, all things considered the Nazis probably killed people at the absolute fastest rate and most directly. So I don't think any could beat out Hitler in terms of being evil....though I'm sure that some are trying. For me the big difference is that while Hitler is recognized as history's greatest monster almost universally, Kissinger's punishment for his many crimes was getting to live a life of luxury and prestige with a curated legacy as a brilliant statesman, the mountain of bodies he left in his wake swept under the proverbial rug.
  6. Steven King was actually unhappy with Kubrick's film and thinks a different adaptation is better. It's been a long time since I've read or watched any of them, but I think Kubrick's film works better as an adaptation than the TV miniseries.
  7. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/11/30/henry-kissinger-anthony-bourdain-cambodia/ TL;DR: You can't travel the world like Bourdain did and avoid seeing the work of Henry Kissinger, which has a death toll in the millions.
  8. Anthony Bourdain may finally rest in peace. Burn in hell Hank.
  9. Well I'm sold....because I already got the season pass. But I'll play it soon.
  10. How's it compare to Through the Ashes and how good are the unique NPC archetypes?
  11. I know nothing about it but a cow being abducted by a flying saucer has me down to check it out. NANI!?!??!? OH MY GOD!!!!
  12. Spy X Family: Still on the boat.
  13. Suspira (1977) Uncut version Well hot damn, this movie is ****ing gorgeous in it's remastered version. The way the score is used makes me almost panic, the sound of the mix makes it feel very loud relative to the rest of the movie and it's very unsettling, which I mean only positively. I'd go so far as to say the movie is worth watching for the visuals and sound design alone. In terms of da plot, ehhhh it's not the greatest. But the execution is often marvelous. There's one sequence in particular, the third killing, that is absolutely a ****ing masterclass that beats out most other slashers or thrillers. This is a goddamn classic for good reason.
  14. I remember reading that a while ago. It's sad that the series ended because there have been a lot of recent films that would be great to see someone analyze. Anyways....I've been cooking more so now my YouTube algorithm recs are movie/series clips, music, vidya game clips, and recipes with the occasional technical video. Not a bad slice tbh.
  15. I finally got the game to load after trimming out some mods. Haven't played around too much, but I'm satisfied enough with Reanimator and Shadowcaster to finally do my Lich run......after I beat Fire Emblem: Engage. Then I guess I'll slot my final runs for after the last DLC. Right now angling for Angel, Demon, Azata, Aeon > Devil, and Tdickster > Legend. Hopefully the dlc drops sooner than later so I can use the more copious time I have in the winter to play this janky **** (and Tears of the Kingdom) before BG3: Definite Enchanced Special ELEGANTO Edition drops.
  16. You know that terrible sound people make when they're slowly but surely dying? That awful utmost pity inducing wail of the reversal of the life process? That's the sound I hear from all these anti Cowboy Bebop Boo Boo the Fools, clinging to a desperate hope that the tide can somehow be reversed and cannot accept the fact that the world is changing in big ways. Stay tuned for 2071, we're just getting started here
  17. Spy X Family has been on that boat so long I think it's a Berserk reference. It's not all bad though, Frankie has all but disappeared.
  18. Edit: Double post bug, thanks Bill Gates.
  19. I had no idea that remoulade was anything but the creole or cajun sauce so thanks Gorth. Anyways for Thanksgiving I'm going to see my folks and they already bought a 14 pound turkey.....which they expect me to cook. Since I don't want to burn their house down deep frying the ****er I'm gonna do the spatch**** roasted turkey with herb+garlic butter packed under the skin. Hopefully that will keep it moist and punch in some kind of flavor to that bland ass bird. Maybe I'll get to make some man and cheese at least.
  20. Was that when they used a cgi presentation as proof? I honestly don't remember, the level of bull**** to come out of Israeli government accounts and politicians is enough to make Colin Powell's WMD presentation look credible by comparison.
  21. It's that bad. Because of my job I frequently call or take calls from numbers I do not recognize, roughly 2/3rds of them end up being some kind of scams that bypass the "scam likely" filter. It's nearly inescapable and can happen at all hours of the day, a call at 2am claiming to be an emergency is not a great thing to wake up to. I was talking about both, as the biggest clients of Plantir Technologies are governments. It's a distinction not worth a difference whether a government pays a firm to do something or if a government does something directly.
  22. With Plantir Technologies Peter Theil already has access to all of my info and is selling it to the government(s), (other) big businesses, and probably the scammers who bombard me with fake calls/texts. If the US government already has so much on us on file, the least they can do is use it in a way that's beneficial or makes interacting with them less of a headache instead of providing wank material to feds. There's something deeply American about having the awful parts of a cyberpunk dystopia married with the bureaucratic inefficiency and incompetence of a government that can't do anything but send guns halfway across the world.
  23. Inside the takeover of Texas school boards TL;DR: Rich men who want to privatize education are behind it.
