Remember how everyone really liked Sarah Palin at first? Until she started.. you know... saying things. I'm not even sure about there being a period of like. She was not even well regarded by the few Alaskans I knew. But yeah, that was a bummer because I was a fan of McCain.

I was on track to be the next great American novelist until I met my wife in college and became happy and boring.

I like John Krasinsky. I've been re-watching The Office with my daughter and it pretty interesting how much he grew as a performer as that show progressed. It will be interesting to see if he can make the jump to a more dramatic role, but I'm pleased by the choice. When I saw the poster I actually thought they cast Shia Lebouf, so I'm relieved it isn't that nutjob. They sure dropped Chris Pine quickly. I liked him as Ryan, but he is more of an action-y guy than an intel type guy that Ford and Baldwin portrayed. Kind of odd to think that Affleck, who is probably the worst Ryan to date, was able to brilliantly play an autistic action hero in the accountant but struggled to pull off an intel guy.

I haven't watched any of them, and honestly most of the stuff listed as award worthy by critics hold little interest to me.

To be fair to GRR Martin, he has put out a fair amount of content, even though he seems to struggle to wrap stuff up. Rothfuss is taking forever to finish a trilogy about 1 character.

Danny McBride can turn a turd into comedy gold better than anyone. I mean, it will still be a turd, but it will be funny.

My hip has been bothering me a bit, but I think it is just the introduction of cycling to my workout, plus the breastroke kick doesn't do me any favors. I think I just need to stretch it out more and build it up.

HuffPo probably has a similar reach to Breitbart. Actually probably even broader.

I haven't seen it, but it rather timely given current racial tensions in the US. Thay may be political, but credit is deserved for reading the pulse and reacting to it promptly.

Pretty sure Trump will bring back the USFL next.

I'll have to pick up that Seals book. They are still pretty legendary in these parts.

I just got finished talking with my daughter who is gushing about this game she wants to play. Let us know if u finish it and how it is please I'm not sure if I will ever really "finish" it. I'm about 10 hours in and there is a whole lot of ocean left to explore. I just built my first sub to go along with my base. I highly recommend it. You can really go at your own pace and play it slow and easy or push deeper into the depths.

I wish I could play it without the monsters Yeah I got eaten by some big scary face thing earlier and I was super ticked about the resources I lost. But usually it's my own fault when I die.

I made my first sea base in Subnautica, a quaint series of tubes hanging above a kelp forest. This game is much more than I expected it to be. The story aspects are really quite good.

Not a trailer, but my favorite intro...

I guess it sounds a bit like what they do with Diablo.

Really depends on the Union. Just like the government, the larger they are, the more useless they are for the average person. The disparities I've seen just in teacher's unions is crazy.

Had a nice swim this morning. I haven't really done regular lap swimming since I was a kid, so it has been interesting getting back into the routine. After a month I've got my front crawl back in shape somewhat, so I can hopefully do that this summer in the triathlon. I put in 1800 meters in about 40 minutes, so my pacing is coming along. It's an interesting crowd at 6 AM in the morning, a mix of high schoolers and tech company guys. Other than asking to split lanes, I've managed to avoid communication for the most part. Wetsuit shopping is next on the agenda.

Whether this thread lives or dies matters very little. You see controversy where none really exists.

You keep trying to insert drama where there is very little. This was a pretty typical conversation about buggy games and developers as a whole. Relax.

I haven't played a load of survival games, but Sub-Nautica is the best of the ones I've played. It has a decent narrative to push you along and give you a sense of story. It is pretty simple when it comes to gameplay but also has a lot of options. It is also a remarkable place to explore. Definitely worth my $20 at this point.

Well it's a good thing this got it's own thread. I mean, where else could random video game news like this possibly go?

One of the best drunk histories. Her German is perfect.

Eh, if the shoe fits. I really don't see the difference though. I prefer it when my workout gear is all the same brand.

Pretty weird industry where a small developer like Obsidian manages more projects at once than a massive one like Bioware. I get that the scales are different, but it sure seems like bad business to be all in like that. Do movie studios do this?
