I watched season 3 and it was pretty good. I'd say the show picked up some major momentum at the end of season 1 and never really stopped, but then I also really loved the way it unapologetically used every sci-fi cliché it could find. It wasn't high brow but fun, solid and fast paced entertainment on a tight budget (which really showed in the sets, much like it did in Andromeda back in the early 00s). What really made it work, in the end, was the cast interaction, especially with Zoie Palmer - and the fact that the payoffs started for all the groundwork laid in the early episodes. The cliffhanger was... eh, never mind. It's a bit like if Stargate SG-1 had stopped after season 9's ending. With something rather similar happening.

I just can't see them two hitting it off. Qis and Bruce on the other hand was a romantic love story just starting to blossom before she went away...

And Qis and luzi, then we could finally find a proper match for Bruce.

Chrome had a super fast javascrip engine at a time when JS exploded in importance and FF started to become massive bloatware and a resource hog. It's popularity isn't unfounded, I just can't be arsed to migrate - a mixture of inertia and no desire to google me up even more.

Is it as bad as everyone says? In my experience popular things being "as bad as they say" is more often than not directly related to the amount of levels one has put into edgelord. Some people here are high level epic edgelords already.

Fun at the office today. Me and my big mouth. *sigh* For some reason I don't remember we started talking about bank accounts and my boss said that he only uses cash and doesn't have a credit or debit/EC/ATM card and if he needs any money he gets it from his wife. Naturally the question why comes up where I simply had to interject and joke around. "Yeah don't you know that's because he used to be a gambling addict and racked up quite a debt. 's just a way of coping and preventing a relapse." ...and of course that is the actual reason he only uses cash and stays as far away from any form of easily available money as possible and lets his wife handle finances. Looked at me in bewilderment and asked if he ever told me, and I was like "OMFG hell no..." followed by an awkward silence and a bit more embarrassing exposition than we would have gotten otherwise. Yeah. So, pro-tip: If your boss ever tells you he essentially gets an allowance from the wife just make a cougar/sugar mommy comment. Or don't say anything.

Woops, wrong thread.

Indeed. As a member of the (white) cis-hetero patriarchy if I can choose I'll almost always pick a male character, but if I can't or I need to play as female for achievements I'll do just that - e.g. I played and finished each Mass Effect game as male and female Shepard. If not it doesn't bother me and I really don't care about customizing my avatar that much. Some of my friends spend hours crafting their characters, I usually just press "random" a couple times if available and take the first things that looks acceptable, unless I'm trying to make the most goofy looking character possible.

They're not half-siblings. Dany is Jon's aunt. Rhaegar was Dany's older brother. Not that this makes it any less squicky.

But so far it's been on the side of either villains or side characters. Two major "heroes"? Feels significantly more icky to me somehow - when Cersei does it, well, she's done more awful crap. But these are people we're supposed to root for? Just to play devil's advocate here, they don't really know that they're related. Not yet, anyway, which should make for a fun reveal. I suspect Jon to be grossed out, Dany probably less so. She grew up expecting to marry her brother after all.

It's probably because I'm the only one left that still uses Firefox instead of Chrome.

Put a couple of hours into Solstice Chronicles: MIA today now that I've (finally) gotten my key. Smells a bit unfinished so far.

But atleast you're dry? That could be the problem, assuming nobody stocked up on the sauce.

Took me exactly one minute to deal with. What was the problem? The main site has no login or signup section, for one, and clicking the link in the mail didn't work after signing up and logging in at the preorder shop. So I tried with signing up at the forums. Nope. Had to manually copy and paste it while being logged in in order to transfer my pledge. Wasn't the only one going by some forum posts. Sure it's not a big deal but every other developer, even the one-man indie shows I've backed so far, managed to make this less of a hassle. Of course none of those used the backer portal as a webshop. *shrug* I also just received a russian scam mail. Apparently a really pretty girl is interested in me. *sigh* Although that might just have been a coincidence.

Wow, Kingmaker's backer portal has to be the worst I've had to register yet. Never mind that I feel like I've just given my.ru another valid e-mail address to sell. *sigh*

If I ever gave anyone the impression that I'm a cuckservative then I probably need to apologize. Maybe I should start colouring my posts as well. Oh, sorry. I usually see that as an insult from conservatives, not liberals using it in an ironic way. Anyhow, oh hey, the left is not the only one to do witch hunts: http://thehill.com/homenews/news/346900-man-misidentified-as-charlottesville-driver-by-far-right-sites-in-hiding-report (not aimed at anybody in particular, except maybe Trump). Nah, don't worry. It's just that Sharp_One loves the word libtard and he thinks Breitbart has only "flat fact" articles (in other words, no political spin to them). And unlike me, he's being serious about it. =)

Honestly, which sort of idiot is responsible for that video's title? Balling your eyes out my arse. What's that supposed to be, a new form of teabagging?

Bought a third one, got The Night of the Rabbit. Should have known.

What? No, everything on Breitbart is true. Silly libtard.

I bought two loot pinatas and got lucky. Got a Saints Row game I didn't have yet and Alien vs. Predator. I'm still tempted but I probably should quit while I'm ahead of the curve. Most random games I got from GoG one way or the other were indie adventures.

Truer words have never been spoken. Though to be fair, I do pay 30% income tax and a 25% VAT... We pay 18% of our income for what's called social insurance - a package consisting of healthcare, retirement funds and unemployment pay.

Things sometimes really hide in plain sight. I've been looking for my XBox 360 controller for a while now. I looked everywhere. Really. Or, uhm, almost everywhere anyway. It was not to be found. For the past two days I thought I might have lent it to a friend who hasn't brought it back yet. Then I rifled through the entire flat again. Every closet, every cupboard. It's been sitting right next to me. Literally. There's a little space between my desk and the wall. The computer desk has a small board attatched to it where my flatbed scanner resides - a thing I haven't used in ages now. Stupid piece of manure is idling on the scanner. I probably put it there while cleaning the desk and forgot about it. It's sitting there and I swear it is mocking me. You get what you pay for, right? Right?

Oh, yeah. Bioware messed up the beginning of Inquisition. The game gets more interesting and better paced once the prologue is over but that can take everything from 2 hours to 40 depending on how much elfroot you compulsively pick up in the Hinterlands. Hence the tip. Heh. No clue about Shadow Warrior though but for co-op shootering business I can recommend Serious Sam if you haven't gotten it already.

You can even make sure it gets made and support it on Fig! If you weren't done with crowdfunding, that is. ^^
