My wife just saw the news and texted me about it because she loves her some Henry Cavil, she asked "so what is warhammer about?" I honestly don't even know how to start answering that question and that is going to be the biggest challenge for the show IMO. If they did a Star Wars style opening crawl it would have to be an hour long to lay the barest ground work. The lore is so enormous and frustratingly intentionally vague if not outright contradictory that if someone can actually turn this into a show that people can watch with no primer then pay that person all the money because they have more than earned it. There are really only two time frames to possibly set the series in, either the Great Crusade/Heresy or where in the lore is now at the end 41st millennium(if that is really when things are "currently", spoilers the calendars might be off thousands of years), I would guess they would go with the later must so the show matches the title of the property. Some things are relatively easy, space marines, ok audiences get engineered super soldiers. Orks yeah not much needed there at least at the surface level(unless you want to get into how their tech works) but once you dive into Chaos and the gods and the emperor and most of the other races it gets really muddy real quick.

Just a moment... WWW.WARHAMMER-COMMUNITY.COM seems to be official now

40k is the most unadaptable property to a general audience that I can think of. The breadth, depth and insanity of the lore is unparalleled, combined with the fact there are no good guys at least at the macro level and it will cost an absolute fortune to do live action.

Does the lip syncing look really off in those gameplay videos

Went to the Bills game yesterday, thank god they won because the weather was MISERABLE especially in the first half.

Judge actively trying to get every Steam account a free steamdeck

I don't think anyone had on their bingo card Portal in 2022 being the new PC melting Crysis-type game

Mostly likely going to be the cpu in my next build in 2023

I guess if you have a shape that is super effective for stealth you kind of need to keep using it. Laws of physics are the law.

Yep looks like stealth bomber

Oh god am I actually watching this on a Friday night, what has my life become

Holy shit this reveal is starting with a singing of the national anthem

Barry season 1-3 I has seen season 1 and 2 before but my wife had not so I decided to do a rewatch with her before starting season 3. The level of performance this show pulls out of its actors is incredible especially with Hader and Winkler. I am glad they did not attempt a redemption arc in season 3, there is no getting around what Barry is. This is honestly one of the top 5 shows on television currently, check it out if you have not. 9.5/10

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities Frustrating and disappointing. The majority of the episodes go on much longer than they have plot for and then have either a non-sensical ending or add in a completely detached from the original story plot element. The autopsy was the only episode I really enjoyed. The Viewing was interesting until it fell apart at the end. 3/10

4090/FG?

Vampire Survivors Saw it recommended by some people. Figured why not for $5. Oh boy this thing addictive. It is a roguelike bullethell-ish game. One that you are going to want to keep trying new runs and power combos with. Note the first couple minutes of each run kind of suck into you get some upgrades.

4080 reviews are dropping and the 4090 still impossibly looks like good "value" especially in RT games at 4k where it stomps the 4080. In non-ray tracing games the performance per dollar ratio between two favors the 4080 but they left the door massively open for AMD at $1000

This bills game has aged me 12 years

All Quite on the Western Front An incredible, powerful, horrific movie that should win a mountain of awards and I never want to watch it again 10/10

I don't think I've watched a movie where I've thought "omg movie please just stop, you've done enough" like I have with this one. Maximum recency bias here but this might be the most powerful movie I have seen.

I'm watching it right now. I've had to take 3 breaks to get a drink. This is an incredible, horrific, ghastly, NECESSARY movie. I just got to the fork scene and still have 48 minutes to go

FUCK. The absolute best Batman, you can argue all day long about Keaton vs Bale or any other combination but they are all just competing for 2nd place after Conroy. Looking at some recent pictures of him he looked rail thin so it probably wasn't a sudden unexpected thing.

Pantheon - 2022 TV series Came out of nowhere for me and was excellent. A couple on contrivances but other than that just really good, smart sci-fi. 9/10

Season 1 was great and then it fell off a cliff.

I'm betting that AMD left a lot more headroom in their cards for their AIB partners to play with vs the 4090 FE which is essentially running a pretty hardcore OC out of the box
