Yeah I agree with that. This one should have stayed outside of The Mandalorian. That being said....maybe there's a big payoff somewhere with this, but as we've discussed many times with Disney+ shows, the journey TO the payoff also needs to be enjoyable.

So uhhh... I guess he did just fall in. This episode was....something. I don't know what they're building towards here, but this was a VERY slow, off-shoot entry. "Risky" is about the most charitable thing I can say about it.

Awww, that's actually a little disappointing.

Stop talking so much about abortions?

Nah that's not the same as winning it from him in one on one combat.

Wow.... I think I gained like 113 exp points after watching that.

Even if they weren't recorded in the analog days, the quality of the DACs used in studios to convert to analog in order to make these vinyls are going to be leagues better than digital files being played out of integrated DACs in people's soundbars or mobile devices. Yeah no I don't see that happening. A clean vinyl with competent needle will rival the best digital recordings in quality. Right now there's only like one or two cassette mechanisms still in production and they're all low-end compared to vintage 80s and 90s gear. That means lots of hiss, very little detail, and overall piss poor listening. And yes, even regular consumer standards for quality have risen. Audiophiles lead the charge for the vinyl resurgence and an expanding range of higher quality earbuds and headphones also forced Apple to improve their transducers.

Indeed. I used to buy CDs occasionally if I wanted high quality rips, but now Qobuz fills that role for the vast majority of music I'm looking for.

Wow three quarters of the physical media revenue. Can't believe it's a billion dollar market now!

It doesn't SOUND dangerous on paper, but I guess youngins were binging too much on it.

What a cliché. The most homophobic and anti-LGBTQ+ people are actually in the closet themselves.

Yeah but they mostly stay inside the Florida State Capitol.

This is Star Wars. EVERY BODY OF WATER HAS A FRIGGIN MONSTER IN IT. If only the characters were more self-aware!

Jesus christ this nation is so fucking stupid.

That was my thought as well. These are perhaps the first ones I've seen that don't act like they're all in their late teens/early 20s.

Ah crap

There was ONE scene from BoBF in the recap and that was the "Have you removed your helmet?" scene. No idea why literally nothing about Grogu was included. There's certainly a lot of confused people. I don't think it was smart of Disney to put so much of the Mando story in BoBF. Yes it lifts up an otherwise extremely lackluster show, but it creates a lot of problems for overall public awareness of the current state of the Mando storyline. This was a pretty strong opening for S3. I think it was smart to show Din Djarin being a badass for the first episode rather than immediately making him vulnerable. Good for the fans that have been looking forward to seeing him again, and good for hyping the season. I didn't instantly think of Ezra when we saw the space whales, and I don't see that as a promise, but man it would be cool. As much as I liked IG-88, I don't think it's smart to bring him back. Makes his sacrifice somewhat meaningless if his "death" isn't permanent.

New Florida bill would restrict use of gender pronouns in schools WWW.WESH.COM The legislation would prohibit employees from referring to a student by their preferred pronouns if they do not correspond to that person's sex. Literally banning trans kids.

Florida is the sacrificial lamb for sinking DeSantis' presidential hopes. Every new low he sinks to is just more ammunition to show how extreme he is.

This is helpful, thanks.

My wife, who is trained as a pastry chef, says red velvet is just colored chocolate. I still don't believe her.

To be fair you could build a Lynx the size of a small wine cooler and it would still be "mini" compared to the original.

There's tons of little glitches with the ragdolls and little objects around. Also the screen space reflections are all really low res and pixelated and I haven't seen anyone else complaining about that. Not sure what the deal is. lol I typed this and then saw there's a driver update. Maybe that will help...

I played a couple hours of this and so far it's very much Bioshock Infinite from Russia.
