RE: Spars and fights
My general attitude about fights in rp are that they need to be cinematic. You need to be able to picture the fight in your head, and you have to acknowledge that cinematic fights have beats. I try to focus on the beats, aand group smaller exchanges that lead up to those beats together, rather than each individual exchange of blows, which becomes tedious.
Lifting her leg parallel to her hip, Suzie unleashes a flurry of kicks Bob, aiming for his torso.
Bob advances on Suzie, the pair exchanging blows that each one blocks as she moves back as he presses forward.
Suzie senses Bob's energy is flagging, and uses the moment to her advantage. Breaking the grapple, she climbs him as if he were a wall, wrapping her legs around his neck and using her inertia to take him off his feet, swing him into the air, and lay him flat with her on top of him. <-- this is definitely a "beat".

Rock attended my company's summer picnic. The event photographer got a few shots of him and this one's my favorite.

RE: Worst Movies
@Derp I don't recall if they explicitly said they were fraternal, I thought their differences had more to do with how they pursued different paths in life, and then of course, Raistlin getting worked over during his test.
Come to think of it, you know what might work? Joe as Sturm Motherfuckin' Moustache Brightblade.

RE: Worst Movies
@Derp Would he do double duty as Raistlin as well? The amount of fanboy squee I'd imagine he'd have at the notion of playing Raistlin is palpable.

RE: Worst Movies
Noooooooooooo.
What gets to me is that Centineo is perfectly enjoyable in To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
But He-Man?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

RE: Worst Movies
Many, if not most of the Netflix independent RomComs are just outright awful.
The worst of all thus far, however, is Swiped.

@Lisse24 Got a grocery store nearby? See if they have any Throat Coat tea in stock.

RE: Which device do you play from?
Lessee...
Home laptop, of which there is also one older backup laptop,
My kindle - which can be a challenge to use,
Super rarely my phone,
My work computer, via web portal or a kindle/web portal combo (read from kindle, pose from portal). -

RE: Good TV
@Wizz The issues with the gelfling puppets and their stiff faces is something that the creators specifically address for the production. There's a "Making of" documentary on Netflix (you can either watch all 10 episodes and the the documentary, or skip ahead to the end of the episode list to access it) and they talk about how those problems with the Gelflings were the particular bee in Henson's bonnet, and how they move forward specifically addressing that problem.
