I feel sorry for his kids. I think one of the older ones doesn't want anything to do with him and I can see why.

So much has happened in the last 6 months I forgot about that lmao.

The "free speech" crowd are mostly frauds whose outrage is reserved near exclusively for reactionary media figures, none of them said a damn word when a Trump appointed judge sentenced Daniel Baker to prison for four years for Facebook posts. Such folks will be the first to get in line with real censorship (they already have) and need to be treated like the spineless bootlickers they are. I think for Elon, Attention is Money. Most of his wealth comes from government subsides and convincing other rich people he was going to make a lot of money, his companies don't sell nearly as much as their competitors and most of his "innovations" just catch on fire. Elon Musk is a a huckster cosplaying as a (parody of a) sci-fi tech ceo, if he dropped the show and went low-profile a substantial amount of his current and future wealth would evaporate.

"dear god" has me laughing, but that price is scary.

Just regular Kevin Sorbo.

You get three cases of canned coffee, a Kevin Sorbo body pillow, and a hot dog lunch. No cash.

Be careful no one forces you to do 45 years of CPAC appearances.

Elon's in charge, the chances of Twitter catching on fire are pretty good

Yes. Both of the Haunting shows are more in line with Midnight Mass, but I don't think either are as good. They're both better than Midnight Club though.

The Midnight Club. 1-whatever Like many others, I very much enjoyed Midnight Mass. Arguably the best horror series to have come from Netflix, with beautiful performances that manage to be heartfelt and heart wrenching at the same time. The Midnight Club is nowhere near that level. It's like following up Braking Bad with a generic CW show, complete with Playstation 2 effects. Little Demon 1-5. Danny Devito voices the devil. Nothing else needs to be said, this show is great.

You're in for a real treat with Enigma. I highly reccomend using the guide to get through it unless you are into sadomasochism, in which case I also reccomend you use a guide because Enigma is truly awful to try and figure out on your own. Owlcat not only doesn't let your intellect or knowledge/lore skills clue you in to the puzzle solutions, they also provide little in game hints on how to solve them. Truly horrible design. Well I started thinking about some shipping between a demon and a corpse, but now all I can think of is how great this mod is: https://www.nexusmods.com/pathfinderwrathoftherighteous/mods/246?tab=description Hope it gets updated.

The game definitely could do a better job in explaning the special mythic companions. It is also that weird in the vanilla game that you don't level Aivu or the Lich skelly given that you do level regular animal companions. Lost opportunity. Oh, and your critters can put skill points into UMD and read scrolls, in case you ever wanted a raptor who could use Shield on itself. Silly is to go to for this game.

So Shifter b/gf, Through the Ashes 2: Electric Boogaloo, and The Citadel. Not bad tbh, though I would like to see Summoner show up as a class.

I'll admit that my memory of the first season is not clear, but it premiered on July 15 2016 and a lot of stuff has happened since then, some personal, some historical, and some apocalyptic. In many respects I think the show works better when it dials the horror down and dials the adventure up, seeing the gang doing fun shenanigans is more interesting than them getting chased by a monster that you know they're going to beat. @Lexx Steve should have died like a hero in season 2, now he is condemned to a fate worse than death as a high school burnout stuck in a small town. That is the real horror in Stranger Things.

Barbarians Season 2. Whatever the shortcomings of the show, I do like seeing colonial powers getting slaughtered so it gets points for that. But it does feel like a backslide in some ways with a massive sequel bait finale. I'll probably watch another season of Romans getting killed if they do another. I think the problem with ST specifically is the lack of real stakes for the main cast rather than desensitization. Our main group of loveable outcasts don't die, most on screen deaths have been single season (or single episode) characters while the main crew mostly comes out unharmed in their scrapes with the gubbermint, monsters, commies, and proto-fascist lynch mobs. It's just hard to feel scared when you know Hopper is not going to die or that the kids are going to beat the monster with 80's cheese. Maybe I'm just too far removed from season 1 to remember the horror there, and it works as horror for Hurlshot because it's fresh (and about kids the same age as his), but in retrospect and currently I don't think it works as horror for me because the stakes just aren't there.

Zelensky can be PM of Britain in two weeks after the government collapses again.

To be fair she doesn't get them until MR 4, but it's noticeable after that when she gets an "S" tab in the UI when controlling her. Yall really missed out with that. What no cookies does to a mf.

Frankly I don't want to dig up examples of children being victimized in fiction, but I think it's not too hard to remember kids getting hurt in genre's outside of horror. So I'll just say that kids being the victims doesn't make something horror so much as horrible. Just to be upfront, the rona years have destroyed my sense of time and I have not watched the older seasons in a while. Anyways when I think of Stranger Things, including the older seasons, I think far more of 80's action cheese and Sci-Fi shows than of horror. The tone just isn't right to hit horror, for me at least, it feels much more like it's going for wonder that you see in a lot of adventure stuff. Compared to something like Halloween or Alien.... ST just doesn't create an atmosphere of terror and dread that really drives horror. Maybe they try(/tried?) to make the show horror, but I don't really think it accomplishes that. Now if you want something absolutely terrifying, then It Comes At Night is a sleeper on that front. Especially after the last few years.

I don't think Stranger Things is supposed to be horror.
