That is the darkest thing I've seen in awhile.

How dare you sir, Milla Jovovich is a legend! 😡 To be fair, she is a B-movie queen. She is amazing and can often make a bad movie watchable, but she hasn't fallen from some upper echelon of acting like Sir Ben KIngsley. She's the female Bruce Campbell.

Today I decided to make a trebuchet in Conan Exiles, because it was a mission or something. I've been building my little fortress on a small cliff overlooking a beach, and I found a good place for it. Once I had it all ready to go, I cranked it back and let it fly towards the beach. It didn't go very far, but it did manage to disturb the Shaleback King hanging out on the beach. It just ticked him off, so he came charging up the slope to show me what is up. I retreated a but with the use of my elevator and fired some arrows down on him, but that just seemed to make him grumpy. Then I managed to get my thralls in on the act, and jumped behind him to finish him off with a warhammer. It was my first boss battle!

So Conan Exiles is my game of the year. I mean, they just nailed so many different types of games in this thing. The world is engaging and hits the Conan vibe, the character development is well balanced, and then it is just this amazing building/survival game on top of it all. I am surprised it isn't getting more positive buzz.

Mulan looks pretty good live-action.

Bummer for Toronto. I mean, they probably knew he was most likely a short termer, and it did pay off for them, but still going to be a shock to fall back down to earth next season. Of course the East is still pretty dang weak. Cali dreamin' for all these players.

I believe Nestle said people do not have a right to clean water, when charging higher premiums during a drought. 👍

Conan Exiles got its hooks in me.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear, but I was referring to Skarpen's response as manipulative. You know, the one that accused you of persecuting Christians like they do in parts of the Islamic world.

I can post videos too ktchong.

No doubt Christians are persecuted in many places in the world today. The idea that Gorth is adding to that with his statement is at best clumsy, and at worst is manipulating a tragic situation to score points in an argument.

I don't think most of us are in the target audience for Stadia. Most kids today are growing up with everything streaming, and so this is a continuation of that. I get it, but it isn't appealing to me. Just like Fortnite and Roblox.

Pics cam in from my Escape from Alcatraz race. It was beautiful.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Picking ip a game I had played for a bit. I love the systems in this game, but it is also fairly daunting. Things rarely turnout well for me, and I'm still rubbish at combat 20 hours into the playthrough. Still, I am enjoying it.

I don't believe I have that kind of reach. Plus Fortnite is lame.

Took part in a fundraiser ride today for diabetes. It was great, ended up with 68 miles and 6500 feet in climbing, and I was able to raise just over $500. My legs are thrashed right now. 🚵‍♂️ 😅

I think you mean satire. I mean, you are correct that it is basically trolling the original content, but I disagree that it makes our world crappy. I think it is great that we can satirize basically everything, and a gung-ho propaganda book pushed out during the Cold War seems to be a perfect subject. If they didn't use the same name, it is arguable that people would really make the satirical connection. Heck, enough people struggle to recognize it for more than a standard action flick.

Finished Star Control Origins. It was a fun story and reminded me of the classic in a good way, but it seemed to be badly optimized and tested my patience with all the loading screens.

I had no idea there was a fourth Predator.

But what about Predator and Predator 2? I think Predator 2 is worth it just because it makes sense as a Lethal Weapon crossover. Danny Glover is too old for this bleep because he killed a Predator on a space ship.

I find myself unable to really watch anything in the youtube style of video for more than a few minutes. I realize this makes me a cantankerous old man now.

Congrats on becoming an authority figure. 👍

Definitely not going to watch an hour breakdown on why a two hour movie wasn't good. I probably agree with a lot of the points, but my first point would be that it isn't worth the time.

Lady Ghostbusters - Not sure what all the fuss was about. It had some cute moments and some fun callbacks to the originals. It was lacking in some areas for sure. Didn't quite hit the comedic notes, didn't quite pull off the chemistry needed between the characters. I'd say it lacked a strong villain or central threat. I mean, I'm glad I didn't go see it in theaters, but it wasn't a bad watch.
