Gorth

Through wholesale genocide and slaughter of entire provinces, towns and communities? It was anything but an amicable split (the protestants of the time were the "Taliban" of its age, killing anything and anyone not showing proper religious fervor) edit: the war didn't really end until the Northern Ireland peace treaty was signed and the end of "The Troubles" in 1998 (after 3000 dead and 49000 wounded since 1968)

Split off from old thread...

Off to a new thread...

I think this guy nailed my own observations (about the writing and dialogue) pretty well... also his delivery is funny if you like snark

Checked out a number of reviews and then reviews of the reviews (no kidding, something stank to heaven about the way the all looked identical). Looks like a bunch of "positive" reviews were so much lookalike, even an AI could do better at pretending not being cut and pasted from the same EA Template handed out to reviewers. Those not on EA's "payroll" seems to mostly focus on the story and characters rather than game mechanics (the latter apparently not being worth mentioning). Summary from almost a dozen videos, the story is bad, like really, really bad (the only exception being the ending last few hours which weren't disastrously bad) and the characters and the dialogue in particular is going to meet Rings of Power in a UFC match for worst writing ever. Edit: I.e. a no interest from me. Fooled me once with Inquisition, shame on you. Fool me twice with Veilguard? Shame on me.

Maybe it was chewed on for too long by turbo granny

Nice change of lyrics

I usually only chase the venomous ones (like that red back family that started an “occupy Gorth’s shower” movement) with the insecticide can. Jumping spiders are just too cute and the larger huntsman spiders do get caught in a plastic bowl and piece of paper slid under it for eviction I usually spend more times chasing lizards as geckos are just a royal pain to catch. Darn sucker equipped feet make them excellent runners up and down walls and ceilings

With his resume, not even Murdoch would be able to buy him a resident visa edit that's assuming the LNP (the center right coalition) stays away from power, after all they were happy to sell freedom to a convicted child rapist and let him breach Covid lockdown so he could go back to his dear papa Pope (who paid the millions of dollars the Morrison government estimated his freedom to be worth), just goes to show everything is for sale if the price is right (except Greenland)

Good thing Australia has a very strict immigration policy... just in case the US completely crashes, burns and falls apart at the seams

Watched third episode of Dandadan. Momo is in denial about her feelings for "Okarun" and we get introduced to her grandmother. Her baseball bad is, if possible, even bigger than her attitude A bit more backstory on grandma as well as "Turbo Granny", who stole Okarun's weenie. Turns out these old ladies, grandma and turbo granny both, are "territorial" and strongest on their home turf.

It is way better than season 5-8 of the official show...

Watched second episode of Dandadan.... It's back weirder, wilder and wackier. Occult-kun (aka Ken Takakura and now renamed to Okarun because his real name drives Momos nuts) is still missing his weenie, so Momo brings his home to her grandmothers place where he almost got burnt to a crisp by said grandmothers wards and then both of them gets beset by an alien, as they haven't given up their ambitions of seizing bananas (we come on peace, give us your bananas!) Just a good laugh through and through. No higher brain functions required

Cats have very fast reaction times, which is why it's possible to find youtube videos of cats dodging a cobra striking at them (even making it look easy)

Just some old songs. Not sure if they have anything in common other than being old?... and I like them

When you turn spreading lies, fear and hatred into your livelihood... not really a surprise?

Somewhere between "things you didn't need to know" and "people with too much time on their hands" Of course, the latter could also explain cricket

Meh, we’ll all get isekaied into some obscenely long titled mess once the dust of the apocalypse settles I call dibs on the harem!

Maybe eugenics isn’t such a bad idea after all

Tl;dr; 20 years is a life time I still think back to those days in 1983, when fighting my mum over access to the TV. I swear, she never cared watching TV before, until I got that Commodore 64 and didn't have my own screen (yet) It was the fight of the titans, seeing who was the most stubborn In the end, I made enough money to buy a 12" black and white TV to put up in my own room. Peace settled over the land and everyone could back to worry about total nuclear war (the real thing, not the later video game) But it's been a long journey, technologies come and go, concepts come and go, target audiences come and go. VHS won out over Beta MAX, but nobody today knows what the heck either of them are. Tapes were the original medium video games were sold on for home computers, whether they be Acorn BBC model B or Sinclair ZX Spectrums. Floppy disks followed and less floppy, floppy (3.5") followed and eventually cd roms. Even those eventually died out and everyone gets their fix from the internet. Scratching my head and wondering what replaces the current internet some day? All of that in 2x20 years.

I watched first episode of Dandadan... that was just awesomeness from start to end! I hope it keeps up like that I'm wondering if they follow Turbo Granny into the tunnel, so Obscure-Kun can get his weenie back and lift the curse, now that they escaped the banana obsessed aliens

Sabine's assessment of the current state of physics (warning, swearing and profanity with a German accent)

There really are some weird dictatorships out there... mostly unknown in the west too
