  1. Lol there's a lot of in-jokes and easter eggs in the wait screen at the desk there. That post-it And I think that glowing orb is from an April Fools joke like 3 years ago.
  2. If GTAVI, which probably isn't coming out for 3-ish years, is on last gen consoles, that's kind of a shame. Yea, yea, more people can play it or whatever (the PS5 and XSX will be about 5 years old at that point so... like... c'mon now), but it won't be taking advantage of the new hardware in a meaningful way. Sure, it can scale graphics, but it won't be using the M.2s beyond loads of save games/fast travel or the much better CPUs at all.
  3. Very subtle but possibly "big" things going on in the past two episodes. The die hard ep showed Rick more-or-less "killing" Morty's character development from the past seasons by allowing the parts of Morty that question Rick to "die" in that machine. Last night's ep showed (in after credits scene) that Rick gave the Beths some type of love-potion wine after Jerry said he would kill himself if Beth ever cheated on him.
  4. Absolutely. The Peter Jackson movies made them look good enough, but they also made them seem like weak cannon fodder who are only a threat due to numbers. The show is better illustrating their sheer aggression, IMO, which definitely adds to their “scariness”.
  5. This is a bad argument and excuse. If the controllers aren't compatible, then the controllers aren't compatible and you'd need to use the wands for those games - for the headset itself to not able to display the game is absurd. There are plenty of SteamVR games that will not work with knuckle controllers and you need to use the old-style Vive-Wand (or other) controllers, but any headset and tracking method still work. If the controllers simply aren't compatible then there's two options: 1.) the dev can patch in support for the new controllers, OR, 2.) you need the wands to play it. That's really as complicated as it should be. Let's not make shitty excuses for shitty practices, my friend.
  6. Yes, but there’s typically some change that occurs, whether it’s a change in “aura” of the person to turning invisible (yes, I understand it’s a slip into another realm for those who cannot grasp its full power, but, for all intents and purposes, it’s essentially invisible). For Tom, there was nothing. The argument of “Tom doesn’t change because Tom is Tom”, to me, doesn’t really hold well while saying he’s a Maiar, unless you’re agreeing that he’s something else that’s not Maiar Unfortunately, we'll never actually know what Tom or Ungoliant actually are and left to guesses based on the information given - for all we know Tom could very well simply be an allegory for Tolkien himself
  7. I also noticed that on PC maxed out, Spider-Man’s eyes have ray traced reflections - maybe it’s on PS5 too but I def didn’t notice it like I do on PC.
  8. Kinda - I err towards the side of that Tom is the primordial essence/being that embodies the music (that’s why he’s kinda always singing or dancing), Ungoliant would be the embodiment of the primordial “darkness” so-to-speak.
  9. To clarify, I think they’re Ainu, just not necessarily a Valar or Maiar - just something else that “came to be”.
  10. Eh, the ring doesn’t even make Tom turn invisible, he could make the ring vanish, and he could still see Frodo when Frodo put the ring on. Also, Ungoliant nearly killing Morgoth and taking multiple Balrogs to stop her is not something I don’t believe any Maiar could achieve singlehandedly.
  11. I don’t think any Maiar would be able to overpower and nearly kill a Valar, let alone the strongest one, even if he’s a bit tired. Maiar/Istari are vulnerable to the one ring, even Gandalf; Tom plays with it like a toy and makes it vanish. It’s not impossible for them to be Maiar, just very improbable.
  12. For which part? GeForceFX came out in Jan of 2003, that’s nearly 20 years ago. The original TNT came out in 1998
