Take care, some nazi is probably going to report you for circumventing the profanity filter through pictures.

I can give you a quote from the latest Half in the Bag episode about the ending of DIS S2: "Discovery really sh*t the bed." -- Mike Stoklasa Wait, you said you wanted to be motivated to watch. Never mind then.

If I copy and paste this particular link the reply box reads "posted as rich text, click here to post as plain text instead", if I click on that it automatically embeds the video (and then offers to post the link as plain link, instead of an embedded one). That also happened with the short link. It embeds short links without issue as long as it's not pasted as rich text. From where do you copy the links?

Loved Her Story. Especially the ballad. 😄

Happens automatically as long as you use the full link. The short ones don't work for some reason.

Politics and Statesmenship: A Forum Special Report
If these "troopers" are actually mowing down people in the street it's no wonder this coup is going as badly as it seems to. They look like they learned fighting from Steven Segal action movies. The one on the right there is probably shooting down a chopper.

Walt was a nazi, so that's fighting fire with fire or some such. 😄

The series is completed. It'll be three weeks until the last episode is out and if you manage to binge every season before then congratulations.- TV & streaming thread
You're right, it's an extremely odd choice to not use one of the two designated Prince(ss) That Was Promised. That's going back to subverting our expectations in a bad way. On the other hand, the show never made much use of the prophecy outside of a few pieces of dialogue with Melisandre, Stannis and Jon. I also spent the first 45 minutes raging at the screen. I'm far from a tactical genius and otherwise pretty bad in strategy games but even I know that's not the way to deal with defending a castle.- The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
Except for the odd beer every now and then I've completely stopped having drinks that contain any form of sugar. 'Twas a much easier way of slashing caloric intake per day than eating less or differently. I can live without coke. I can't live without roasted pork belly.- Stormlands
Feargus told Microsoft to can it and high fived his team while doing some moustache twirling and bellowing his evil laughter of evil. He's like Bad Horse, except less horsey and more Saturday morning cartoon. The Obs Leadership hosts the Evil League of Evil meetings for a reason, after all. Eh, well... as far as the original concept goes, I doubt having "millions" of players in an MMO-ish environment working towards the same goal is any more viable now than it was back then. But a game like Stormlands? Yeah, as long as it also comes out on PC, count me in.- The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
'Ere we gooooooooo:- The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
I wonder who gets there first. There are scenes to get angry over for everyone. Sums up my feelings pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised by Infinity War, now I'm a bit disappointed by Endgame, and at the risk of making this weird, Volo is actually partially right for a change. Everything happens in exactly the way it has to, and while I don't agree that the film was boring, it sure felt longer than it was.- The Next Funny Stuff Thread
A bit of psychological horror: Sure it reads comedy but it isn't. It's hauting...ly accurate. And a bit older, so not sure if posted before.- What are you playing RIGHT NOW?
Trying to find the motivation to grind out the last 8 skill points in Sekiro to finish all the achievements. Cuz every now and then I enjoy flashing my e-peen.- What you did today?
Volo would say that's because you're a nazi.- Wag More Bark Less -- Cute and Funny Animal Pics
Might as well use the thread to post a pic of our cat and the dog. Excuse the quality, this was made with an early camera phone. They're a good bit older now, but still cute.- The Metal Thread

Since it's been a year or two since I last tried to get people to appreciate Tripod (which... failed spectacularily) I'll just (re)post this.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Sekiro had a patch intended to promote different playstyles and fiddled with the combat art and prosthetic resource costs. That's because people didn't use anything but Ichimonji and High Monk (or Senpou Leaping Kick), the latter of which was situationally locked to countering sweep attacks and was pretty much a high risk, high reward combat art as it locked you into a tracking animation towards the enemy and if you messed up the timing or used it on a non-sweep attack you could easily jump yourself into a deadly enemy combo. I'm pretty sure nerfing the posture damage on High Monk will promote people to not use Ichimonji all the time. Oh, wait. Heh.- The All Things Movie Thread
That's bizarre. Although one other MCU movie did this as well, I remember because we waited for the credit to wrap up and a guy from the theatre showed up and was like: Guys, don't bother, there's no extra scene in this film. I just can't for the life of me remember which one. Not much of a surprise given the sheer number of them. I'm kind of expecting it was Age of Ultron, but I'm not sure. Talking about the mini-scenes that happen after the credits, not the regular post-credits scenes though.- The Next Funny Stuff Thread
10 points for Sitherin! (Well this will take some getting used to, why does the forum posting work properly now? )- What you did today?
That depends (eh, just kidding). Back on the BIS/IPLY boards we'd get freshmen computer science majors trying to explain software and game development to the devs every now and then. The one I remember most vividly was a guy explaining to JE how the lack of monk unarmed fighting animations in Icewind Dale II made the game suck and that they just should have taken Bioware's from Baldur's Gate 2. These posts almost always started with "Hi, I'm a computer science major and...", you know, like the "I'm not a racist but..." kind of deal. Was your first post like that? If not, then you're probably good. - TV & streaming thread
