Umpteenthing the Altered Carbon recommendation.

Another one that would make a fantastic game setting, too.

It's basically cyberpunk with practical immortality. XD

@arkandel said in Good TV:

@coin I didn't even know there was a book. But the first episode of Altered Carbon kicked all kinds of ass.

Yes, yes, I've already seen it all.

I am asking to see if I can read the book without already being spoiled.

@packrat said in Good TV:

Altered Carbon binge completed. Yep, not the same as the book but definitely worth watching albeit with gratuitous nudity in profusion.

Are the changes significant enough that if I already watched the series, the book's plot isn't spoiled?

Am I the only one playing Dragon Ball FighterZ or am I the only nerd of that sort?

If I had the money and the machine needed, I'd play.

The games made him out to be WAY more of a lech than he was in the books.

Maybe. It's more the players, though.

Probably true. I mean, he definitely wasn't hung up about sex, but he WAS very devoted to Yennefer, in his way. Their relationship was just... complicated.

Yennefer is de hottest name. >.>

I just came here to say that.

Right? If I have a daughter....

That's Trump-level creepy right there.

Dial it way the fuck back.

The thing about Dead Wolves is that everyone gets hung up on what they were originally without allowing for a new interpretation.

A Dead Wolf Bloodline (I actually hate that name, but I digress) could simply have to do with Gangrels who've learned to tap into the power of spirits/moon/werewolf nature through Protean and Animalism. There is room for this. The Dead Wolves bloodline I wrote for Reno worked because of the House Rules Reno had--but if there had been other rules I could have easily changed some stuf to make them work anyway.

I like Dead Wolves, personally. I just think they need an extra little work to make them stand out as more than just "vampire wolf-blooded".

@coin Maybe something like https://www.windowscentral.com/clatter-all-one-messenger-app-thatll-make-your-life-easier or https://meetfranz.com/ could help?

Clatter is out because I do not have Windows 10. I'll poke at Franz later at home.

@coin YOU NEVER ANSWER DISCORD SIR

... this is true.

Sorry. I need to remember to check skype or whatever. Sorry.

@emmahsue said in Freelance NPC Offer:

@cobaltasaurus : Ping me on Discordia or in email with details, my dove. We can chat out the d'tails.

ditto.

Crushed.

I...

am actually going to add my name to this.

I would also be willing to NPC people for a game every once in a while.

Also, @EmmahSue is glorious at the RPs.

My aim for this end of the month is finishing A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab, and then I'm picking up the latest Riordan books I haven't gotten to yet.

@ortallus said in Good or New Movies Review:

@coin Carefuly, Lithium is perfect. She's never wrong or off. If there's a problem, clearly it's you.

Been sniping with @Lithium long before you came around. Get your own damn hissy fit to participate in.

@lithium said in Good or New Movies Review:

@coin Not really a spoiler but whatever. Happy now?

I mean, I could've done without the snide remarks in both the edit and your response, since what you consider a spoiler and what other people consider spoilers doesn't need to be the same thing--but whatever, if you needed to get all snappy about it, that's on you.

@jaded said in Good or New Movies Review:

@coin
How is that a spoiler?

I removed the part that was from my post because even if @Lithium removes it, if I posted it too, it would remain in my post (edits do not repercuss across quoted texts).

@lithium said in Good or New Movies Review:

I can third Jumanji, was surprisingly entertaining and fun. Jack Black imho, stole the show though everyone had their moments.

spoilers, man. wtf.

Black Lightning was fun.

The Magicians is ... swimming along.

Ulthar turns 2 in Feb. I will post stuff if I remember to.
