The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
Having Admiral Ackbar say "It's a wrap!" is hilarious. It isn't tone deaf at all, the guy needs to take himself less seriously. He is playing a giant squid in space.

Baldur's Gate 3?
Huh, well I'm ready for another D&D game, so I'm looking forward to it. Larian has this weird habit of losing me after the first act in every game, but the different setting may help.

What you did today?
I also worked on my camper. The door handle had been damaged, so I replaced that. One of the awning arms also got pushed in. The RV is just a big plywood box, so I pulled it out, put in some wood filler, then put a piece of sheet metal over it. Then I drilled some holes are reattached the arm. It was all a bit tricky, and made me miss my father-in-law's advice. He passed away over the winter, and was basically my mentor when it came to any mechanical work. I used his tools, so hopefully I didn't embarrass him. He passed away partially due to diabetes complications, so I am participating in a Diabetes fundraiser ride in a few weeks. Here is the link, if anyone is interested in contributing. I'd appreciate it: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/?px=15363308&pg=personal&fr_id=12752

Controller or Gamepad recommended?
That was an amazing bit of deciphering, Ethics Gradient. Well done.

What Do You Think Microsoft Will Have Obsidian Work On? New IP or Existing?
I don't. I mean, I love Shadowrun, but I'd say Harebrained is best suited to continue the game franchise. What would Obsidian really do better than them?

What are you playing RIGHT NOW?
I've been playing DC Universe Online again. It really is a fantastic character creation system with a great setting that is fun to swing, fly, or speed around.

More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19

The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
I enjoy fantasy, even quite a bit of trashy fantasy, and I've never been able to get into Sanderson. I've been reading these Monster Hunter International books. Silly fun, for sure.

The Outer Worlds won't launch on Steam
This is a forum for a fairly niche game developer, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of 'important' topics to come up.

The Outer Worlds won't launch on Steam
Is the game going to run any differently because of those features that Epic lacks? I have no idea who Tim Swindley is, but again, does that affect the experience I will have with The Outer Worlds?

The Outer Worlds won't launch on Steam
It's not exclusive from a hardware standpoint, so I don't really see how it is all that anti-consumer. Sure, there is a hassle involved with using a storefront that is different, but any computer that can run Steam or GoG can run Epic. Console exclusive is way more cruddy for consumers, as you have to actually buy something different if you want to use the software. As to the quality of Epic, that sounds more like an opinion. Looks a lot like Steam to me.

The Food Thread
I'm thinking about changing my diet. I go pretty heavy on carbs at this point, and I'm thinking I'd like to reverse that. Nothing too crazy, but I think a medium carb diet and more protein will help me with my endurance training and alleviate some digestive issues I've had with training and racing. Of course, it would help if I could resist some of these sugary snacks I'm always craving.

You also have a ton of seasonal workers that used to go back and forth, but with all the newer restrictions in the last decade, a good percentage have been staying put. I guess we should have a new immigration thread, since I think this is hilarious, but it probably doesn't fit in the funny things thread: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/04/06/trump-administration-nearly-doubles-h-b-guest-visa-program-which-brings-many-mexican-workers/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.7f8b65ad27d1

Why would they have the kids attend a wedding, you mean? Seems like a pretty typical event for a TV show to have.

What are you playing RIGHT NOW?
Is there any kind of story to follow in the game? I got the impression it was mostly just sandbox.
