Honestly, the LotR one is one of the ones I just sort of went "meh" at. I am less interested in it than I am in some of the stuff I don't even know the source material for.

Just as a reminder, Netflix is still developing The Witcher.

@derp

Back to development talk.

@ZombieGenesis, you may want to watch this documentary that's coming out on September 11: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/announcement/ten-years-after-the-great-recession-frontline-and-propublica-go-inside-one-american-citys-fight-to-recover/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share_button

I'm not down with the eating of dicks being used as punishment but fuck Burt Reynolds, the guy was a jackass.

"That's not my name."

@wildbaboons said in Poll: Fantasy Earth 2.0:

Is your idea natives are gone, fantasy races are here.. and have no idea about modern day life? Cars, computers, etc all foreign?

Like the Shannara series, I think, yes.

Moar deductions?

@tinuviel said in Dead Celebrities 2018:

That's not a punishment.

That depends on whose dick.

@shelbeast said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Bruh. Netdocs? Seriously? Have your firm get iManage DeskSite. SO much better/easier to work with. NetDocs is the worst like German sausages.

No fucking shitballs. Only gibbering morons use that system. IT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO GROUP DOWNLOAD FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

I'm over it.

And, no, my firm does not use NetDocs. I personally use DropBox.

@bad-at-lurking said in Potential Buffy Game:

Gamers are worse than strict constitutionists in their ability to nitpick and argue a thing until the soul of the thing is crushed under pedantic disagreement.

They remain the highest court of law in the MUSHing hobby nonetheless.

@sunny said in Potential Buffy Game:

I feel like people who are not Buffy fans and are not interested in Buffy as a project (save in being invested that it's not another WoD game) are trying to turn it into something that it isn't.

Well, I did convince him to use Dayton as a venue.

I'll play there just for that.

The next fucking prick that tells me to download electronic copies of documents off of NetDocuments is going to get my briefcase shoved into the smallest orifice they have.

Fucking use a program that lets you group-download files instead of making me download each fucking one individual, motherfucker. Oh, and those pop-up windows that keep spasmodically cropping up when you make one single fucking error, thereby requiring an entire browser shutdown? You can fucking bend over and let me stick my foot ankle-deep into your asshole, you coprophilic jackass.

@wretched said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

Yeah i too am losing weight rapidly, in the form of liquid being expelled from my person.

If it don't burn like hell down below, ride it out.

I'm telling you, it's worth it. You'll be down 10 pounds in a week.

Then get onto ketosis, and watch the water weight just burn right off. You'll bypass the keto flu symptoms because your body will already be sugar-deficient. Might as well use the sucky feeling to your advantage.

Not exactly a healthy way to look at things, but whatever works.

@wretched said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

2 days in, I am sick as all get out.

There's a bug going around.

But you know what's great to break out of a diet rut? A stomach bug.

Five pounds down already.

Thanks, you filthy, disease-carrying spawn!

@arkandel said in RL things I love:

Thanks! And oh I know, and told her as much. She's just not a very internet/computer savvy person so I might need to take matters into my own hands and order something.

No problem.

Being a smuggler is sort of side thing for me. I'm not going all Han Solo on folks, but now you know why I like vests, white shirts, slacks, and boots, all at the same time.

@arkandel

Regarding the t-shirts, there are a lot of online producers and shippers who can probably accommodate. I use Snorgtees a lot, and transport stuff north across the border when I visit the Motherland. So, if you need anything, you let me know and I will see what I can do.

@aerianyx said in General Video Game Thread:

I think if you take ME3 as a whole as the goodbye to that series, it is freaking beautiful.

I agree with you, but that's not why I liked it so and not what I'm getting at.

(And, obviously, I romanced Liara all the way through the series.)

We can cut apart and dissect every portion of the story and game, but I prefer to just enjoy the experience. If I don't enjoy something, I honestly don't spend much time considering why or why not; so, I don't do the same if I enjoy it.

I liked when Samara is reunited with the daughters she left. I liked that Jacob had a chance to be the father he never had. I liked Thane's redemption.

I just liked it.

But I also like Merrill, and I liked Varric, and I liked the entire disconnected story of oppression that was Dragon Age 2, as much as I loved the dystopian terror of The Last of Us.

@auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

I have a brand new car! I don't want to deal with that shit.

You should've splurged for the cow catcher option.

@thenomain said in General Video Game Thread:

Like DA2, I didn’t feel that ME:A was about anything. It’s story was stronger than DA2’s, but that’s like saying this sheet of paper is stronger than a used toilet wipe.

Andromeda was okay as a video game, but it failed as a Mass Effect game.

"I think you and I are destined to do this forever."

I liked Dragon Age 2 a lot. I liked Andromeda a lot. I liked Mass Effect 3 and its ending just fine. And you know this.

Y'all just snobs.

I'll be over here playing Fallout Shelter.

@auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Stop riding them throughout traffic without paying a lick of attention to where you're going. I guaran-fucking-tee your semester is going to end in statistics on how many of you got run over at this rate.

I'm not seeing the problem here.

@bad-at-lurking said in Potential Buffy Game:

"The Hellmouth moved here."

I don't really know what a Hellmouth is, but I presume it is something which spawns bad things.

In which case, there are lots of good sites, like the old Mound Laboratories site. If you want a central location, you could look at the Dayton Arcade or Woodland Cemetary and Arboretum, which is located next to the University of Dayton. But if you want to go for the old, trite "local military installation is a secret laboratory for the paranormal" trope, a la Stranger Things, then nothing's better than Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

I like "the Mound" due to the nuclear weapons research / Indian burial ground confluence of "why the fuck did you put that there?" questions.
