Lol, I knew I should have looked it up.

New thread split from old. Old thread: Supēsu Kobura aka Space Cobra aka Space Adventure Cobra, episode 4: "Dassō!! Shido Keimusho" aka "Escape!! Sid Prison" Cobra and Jane Royal track one of Jane's sisters, Catherine, to the world she's a teacher on, only to find she's been arrested and taken to the floating prison, Sid. We're very much in the middle of the story arc, and while we get the typical Cobra resolution (he defeats/vexes/escapes the villain in front of him while achieving his goal), the overarching story continues. Is it just me, or...

New thread:

Been awhile since I posted... ...fought some monsters... ...saw some nifty abilities... ...watched my demons talk to other demons. ...helped the fairy King and Queen... ...experienced drama... Yup. Surt. Guess I'll have to go around. Met these two again and taught not-Radiou Kuzunoha a lesson. And merged a bunch of demons for new demons. What's in the cards next?

Is the Nord man going to cut the tree for you, then?

Zardoz is an interesting film. I don't think it works, but it's still interesting.

Seems like the easy fix would be to tag reviews made during the early access period as made during early access. Updating the review after full release could remove the tag or something.

Weird, the film snob circles I know of wouldn't touch a fantasy, sci-fi or horror genre film with a 10-foot pole. FWIW, I thought Pitch Black and Riddick were really good. Chronicles had elements I liked and some I didn't, but killing off all the characters from Pitch Black pointlessly never sat well with me.

I've only seen both films once a couple of decades ago, so my memories of both are very weak.

I also prefer Star Wars to Empire. Keyrock, you might be the only person I've seen who prefers Gremlins 2 to the original.

I've always ranked Terminator and Alien as better than their respective 1st sequels. And boy was that opinion controversial not long ago (not as controversial as disliking Up! and Wall-e was not long after they came out, though - egads people got hostile over that opinion). I don't remember much about the Matrix sequels, but I wasn't over-enamored with the first film.

I didn't realize things had changed so much. Back just a decade or so ago, suggesting that Aliens was not superior to Alien and that Terminator 2 wasn't better than Terminator was some sort of fan-heresy of the highest order. Did everyone get tired of James Cameron all of a sudden?

They seemed to forget reel-to-reel and cassettes...?

Its a bit from Devil May Cry 5, the game being played. That character is Nico, the weaponsmith.

That's the next thing I need to do, but I'm clearing out the few remaining Minman before trying to tackle him.

It's a weird feeling knowing your terrible team has a shot at the playoffs. I guess it's better than being eliminated...

Yeah, he was a tool. I took a couple of tries to beat him - had a decent party but kept getting slowly wiped. Finally I crushed him. I need to merge me a Thoth - just got a few levels so may be time to play merge-o-mania.

TNG Interface The Enterprise sees 100s of unique, one-of-a-kind events over the course of 7 seasons - and yet not enough for any of Geordi's friends to believe he saw anything, much less his mother*. 'There's no proof', they say. Except when Geordi disobeys orders and Data matches the anomalous sensor data they denied existing to new data as Geordi talks to his 'mom'. What? Why did the alien masquerade as his mom in the first place? Why is Troi yet again shown to be incompetent as a counselor, not listening to her patient and only offering pop-psy platitudes? Why do Geordi's pals refuse to listen to him or look at the data and at least entertain there may be something more than Geordi refusing to believe his mom passed?? The command crew get such latitude except when the story needs them to be stick-in-the-muds. And who greenlit hiring Ben Vereen to play Geordi's dad and then relegating him to a video screen rather than letting him be there in person? What a waste of a great actor. This episode is pretty rubbish. *This is literally LOST IN SPACE level plotting, where whatever weird thing Wil or Penny saw is dismissed by the adults despite the fact that they'd encountered things just as preposterous the previous weeks of the show, and also typically first seen by Wil or Penny.

Got knowledge of tools - definitely one worth investing in.

Weird, I use mustard (with a hint of horseradish in it, no less) and find I can still taste whatever else is on the sandwich. I only use mayo on BLTs...

The tall pole is the stacking spindle. The record player you describe sounds like the one we had with the extra piece for the 45 with a large hole.

Georgia didn't have a hate crime statute on the books when the men were charged. They were, IIRC, charged in May and the Hate Crime law was signed in June 21. Difference between Malice Murder and Felony Murder is explained by a local station: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/crime/ahmaud-arbery/malice-murder-felony-murder-difference-ahmaud-arbery-death-trial/85-d13db692-cff9-4b4d-be73-5eba5ae22054

AHHHH, that would explain it, I did talk with Huang Long (I'd actually talked to him before, but wiped right after that and just realized last night that I'd never went back and talked to him). I haven't left the first area - I didn't play any Sunday or Monday and you were already ahead of me then. I'll check and see if I have that miracle yet or not, if not I'll keep an eye out for it. I think I have more than one Gospel though, but I'm hanging on to them as well.
