  1. Once again, open invitation for anyone who was excited about Yang for even a moment to eat my ass.
  2. Halfway through. Some initial quick thoughts in no particular order. It's about as good as a live action TV adaptation could be absent dumping just buckets of money on the thing, so no objections there. I've still not gotten around to the audio version (shame on me) so the two main disconnects between my headcanon of Dream and what's on this show are: 1) I always assumed his voice was higher and a bit more ephemeral 2) I don't know that the text supports this per se, but in my head Dream was a bit more Geralt like in that he very obviously looked different, not just "goth," and that people always kind of bounced off him unless they looked right at him. It's still a bit weird that he's... a pretty normal looking guy, especially since he gets MORE "normal" looking once he gets his gear back Neither of those are complaints at all, just thoughts. The camera lens / perspective is weird and I can't always tell if it's used to good effect. Some stuff (his day with Death, relationship with Hob) I think was really very well done. Some stuff didn't have a chance to land... I've no issue with Patton Oswalt as Matthew in general but him "interrupting" the fight with Lucifer felt like they mishandled the moment, as did letting some scrub ass demon pick fucking Lucifer to fight his battle. They've got ten episodes so they can't linger on every thing, but the modern day Constantine stuff felt rushed. So did the resolution with John Dee. Again if you're not going to let those moments breathe I think they did okay... those moments are just so impactful in my mind having read the comic a bajillion times during my formative years. The casting is excellent although I'd have preferred an older Constantine. Lady Constantine, yes, all for it, but I think any incarnation of that character is missing something when he/she isn't grizzled. Anyway, more to come but I'm pleased!
  3. That's how I initially read it, YIKES.
  4. People are way too cozy co-opting fashy memes. It sucks.
  5. Release the game on time! No wait... Have an ad campaign that isn't racially problematic! Hold up a minute... Establish realistic sales targets! I'll get there... Have AI that isn't shit!
  6. The only other place you can see someone sucking this much ass is pornhub
  7. Do you have some kinda shit take generator or...
  8. @Slug That's some good looking terrain! Thanks so much for checking, I really appreciate it.
  9. I feel like today’s “twist” has been telegraphed all season though I suppose we’ll need to see if the finale helps it make any sense beyond that. I appreciate that Ed has blinders on when it comes to Danny but weren’t there other people in the room with him when the drill got fucked up? And I feel that Aleida isn’t developed enough for me to care about any aspect of her story beyond her relationship with Margo. Her relationship with the Feds, her dad’s dementia, her ex, her son, there’s too much sizzle and not enough steak. Also it’s waaaaaay too late in the season to introduce boardroom drama into the stuff happening at Helios. “Hi, I’ve known Dev forever. I love that guy, he’s brilliant. That said fuck him, money please.” Like… no. Maybe spare us what feels like the umpteenth chat between Ellen and Pam that went nowhere and establish a board structure at Helios more than 5 minutes before they show up to drop a deuce in the pool.
  10. Pour one out for unogueen's brainworms, they died of starvation some time ago.
  11. Cleaning the disks in DiskPart via powershell, then taking each one offline then back online... that did the trick. What a world.
