  1. I watched the first episode when it was on normal TV and it was okay. Didn't motivate me enough to pay money and sign up for something, but on a service I already have I will watch this for sure.
  2. Pretty much every movie has completely unrealistic things happen to move the plot along or help tell a more dramatic story. How much they bother someone tends to closely line up a lot with how much they are enjoying the rest of the movie. Madalorian is full of them. Everywhere. Mostly in the form of figuring out what his motivations are for doing like 75% of what he does. He should be telling all of these people to pound sand. We need you to put your life, the Childs life and your entire mission in jeopardy in a suicide mission because we maybe might perhaps have some info maybe. Give me that armor or I will shoot you in the face. Wait, what if instead of that, you help me with big super dangerous mission that will gain you absolutely nothing at all! SURE! SIGN ME UP!
  3. I was getting these vibes.... Yeah, it made no sense. A lot about this show really doesn't, but if you relax and go along for the ride it's a fun one. This was the best episode of the show by far. In fact, I think.each of the last 3-4 have earned that distinction, only to be beaten by the next weeks episode. It's definitely on a big upswing.
  4. Nah, it really was that bad. It was barely next gen, it was so glitchy and buggy and the screen tearing was unbelievable. Like, constant screen tearing. Controls were awful, level design was terrible, combat was bad... story was laughably bad... it was just bad. It was clearly rushed for launch. It looked and played like a game that needed another year of development time.
  5. It's such a farce. How mentally feeble would one have to be to do a complete 180 on Trump like that? How can anyone stand by that man? If a person with the shit intelligence, crap qualifications and temperament of Trump was a Democrat and my party was supporting him like the Republicans support Trump... I would never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. I would denounce the party loudly and clearly at every chance. I would be marching in the streets against him. Those aren't empty words, I would abandon the party immediately. Any republican who doesn't do the same as proven themselves to be a person who has abandoned all ability to reason. They are not people who can be trusted, because they clearly believe in nothing but p[laying some sort of fucking game. FUCK THESE PEOPLE.
  6. DVD is a loser piece of shit. He can fuck off forever. I hope he's reading this because at one point I know he considered me a friend. We are no longer friends. He can eat shit. FUCK THAT GUY.
  7. Fox News is pushing this as their top story. They don't want this to go away. It's fucking disgraceful. I mean, I know we're all sick of this never ending pearl clutching and END OF DEMOCRACY hyperbole and I'm just as tired of all this Trump nonsense... but this thing they are trying to do is so unbelievable fucked up. IT'S SO FUCKED UP. I feel like we as a society are not doing enough to push back on this shit.
  8. If any of the republicans or attorneys general who signed onto this garbage piece of shit get re-elected we truly live in a fucked country. They seriously put their John Hancock on the most un-American anti-patriotic thing I've ever heard of. They signed their fucking name on the thing. They said... "I WANT TO THROW OUT THE VOTES OF MILLION OF PEOPLE IN THESE 4 STATES I DON'T EVEN FUCKING LIVE IN." Even though other states did the exact same thing they are saying make the votes invalid, including states where Trump won. It's such a fucking joke, none of these people should ever be able to show their faces I public ever again and anyone who supports this is a traitorous piece of human garbage. I don't use those words lightly, but there they are.
  9. Perfect Dark Zero was a complete and total dumpster fire diarrhea bucket that is (in my opinion) one of the worst fucking (big release) game sequels in the history of gaming. All of the goodwill for this franchise was destroyed by Perfect Dark zero.
  10. I hope it doesn't end up like the Netflix Marvel shows. They started out pretty good but all became so similar in tone and style that they just lost all of their appeal. You can do too much.
  11. How about people can buy what they want without being constantly insulted by insecure internet bobos.
  12. Some people just really don't like things in their ears. My wife has AirPods (the OG ones) and they hurt her ears like crazy after a few hours. I would love a big set of Apple cans with the convenience of the H1 Chip, but yeah, I would maybe $200 love them... I definitely wouldn't $550 love them.
  13. I am now caught up... Season 2 >>>> Season 1 I've been enjoying it!
  14. What always gets me is that the right wingers say the exact same things about us as we say about them. We live I our own bubble. We're getting false news stories from biased news agencies that are just pushing their agenda... blah blah blah. Both sides say the exact same thing. Fox News has been pulling righter and righter and has gotten more brazen and obvious with their tactics over the last 10 years or so... and I truly believed that they pushed both MSNBC and CNN to the left and basically turned them into nothing more than the left wing mirror versions of themselves. If you listen to any of the left wing talking heads and kinda squint your brain and listen between the lines, both sides are saying the exact same thing. They use the same cadence. It's all about demonizing the other side and pushing the days news storied to fit your political narrative. Since I'm a leftist robot, of course I say to myself... I says... not I, I am an intelligent reasoned person who can see through this... but am I? Are we? Are we not just two sides of the same coin? I don't know the answer to this, but it keeps me up at night. When Obama was president and the Right was acting like total idiots for 8 years straight, using INSANE language about tyranny this, and nazi that and it was just fucking nuts... I said to myself... I never want to be that person. I hope I never go so far up my own ass that I use language like that to describe someone I disagree with. And then Trump showed up and suddenly I was right there with the tyranny and nazi shit. I just don't want to fall into the same tired lazy thinking... but then I'm also like, holy shit, what a tyrannical nazi. I don't know. I don't fucking know anything anymore. The world is so fucking insane I can't even process it anymore. When I see these people I know... family and friends and what not on social media arguing the most insane shit and putting out opinions that I can't even wrap my head around... like batshit COVID conspiracy shit and downplaying hundreds of thousands dead and I don't even know what the fuck is going on anymore. WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN GOING ON ANYMORE???
  15. The fact that we're all mostly acting like this is normal with a response like "LOL, trump gonna trump" is fucking insane. This is all insane. This is not normal. The fact that like half of the people in this country can see this happening and either agree with it or just shrug is fucking terrifying. If we want to go back and pinpoint just when this country officially went to shit, I want to nominate how both political parties now have their own versions of reality that just get accepted by the populace as news. There should not be two sets of news. There is one fucking set of facts.
  16. I remember the Kobe day... we went to this NHL fan fest event in St. Louis and it we were literally packed inside with thousands and thousands of people elbows to elbows everywhere. Just one of those crazy crowds where everyone is packed in like sardines... I was looking at pictures of it the other day and it seems so foreign. It makes me feel anxiety. We were taking the subway back home and a random dude we didn't know just turned around to me two kids and said, HOLY SHIT, KOBE DIED IN A HELICOPTER CRASH. I'm feeling more and more upset about this year as time goes on. I feel like the universe stole a year of childhood from my kids. They've been locked inside for 9 months now or whatever. It's their 5th and 2nd grade year. Those are important and they're just gone in a puff of smoke. The three of us have been locked at home schooling and working every day, day after day after day after day after fucking day and it's grinds you down. They hate home schooling and I have to be on their ass all the time and it's turning our relationship into an adversarial one and we're all fucking sick of each other and our relationship is suffering, everything is suffering. This year has sucked so much.
  17. Yeah, all of my friends went through a phase a year or two ago where they were all obsessed with this show. I've seen like 10 episodes, and it's pretty good. I mean, it's fine and funny, but it just didn't really grab me. I don't really have a strong urge to watch more.
  18. Watch the 70s animated Hobbit. Does such a better job of capturing the tone and heart of the story. The hobbit movies are a fucking travesty.
  19. It's time to shatter those societal norms and make this law a reality.
  20. Our lawmakers need to get off the couch and vote because all signs indicate that this is the time for this historic legistlation.
  21. Watching the hobbit movies is like reading the book in the same way that buying French fries at McDonalds is like going to France.
  22. I mean, I know that handing someone a pile of money and saying I want a pardon in exchange for this is clearly illegal... but aren't like 50% of presidential pardons favors for their rich and/or political connected friends? I'm sure there isn't usually a direct A to B paper trail, but this is how it's always worked.
