"Only 3.5 roentgens? That's the equivalent of getting a chest x-ray."
"He's clearly delirious."
I can't say there are many series or movies that have honestly unsettled me, but that scene, the only time they actually show the reactor on fire, unnerved me.
So far as HBO shows go.
Fuck GoT.
Chernobyl is on another level.
Speaking of Divinity, supposedly there's a rumor going around that the devs of Divinity is going to be brought in to make Baldur's Gate 3. I'm curious to see where that leads, if anywhere.
So. Death Stranding release finally announced for Nov 8th. Along with a nearly 9 minute debut trailer.

Everyone: So, what is this game?
Kojima: Yes.
There are certain times where I look at MUing and think on the levels of creativity I've seen. And then I look at the shit that comes out of Kojima's head and it's either brilliant in a way that I can't quite understand or it's nonsensical and everyone just says it's great. Maybe both.
@Sparks You do realize this is more or less the MU equivalent to an argument against the fair wage act, right?
Maybe that's not the intent, but hoo boy that's how it reads.
I think I'd enjoy it more if life allowed more time to dedicate to it. But I don't, so I'm overall tend to be kind of meh on RPing in general. I still do it, because somewhere, I remember how much fun it was.
On the upside to that, most of the political OOC drama an whatnot, I can't say I care too much about. Which is nice, considering at once point, I did. That either may be chalked up to maturity or really the fact I don't have enough time.
Most days, I go back and forth on whether or not I still enjoy it.
I'm going to be fucking salty for months.
I was hoping for someone other than the Warriors to win the Finals.
Fuck it, I hope the Raptors get destroyed.
@Wretched said in What do you eat?:
I like meat. I //REALLY// like meat. I have cut back some on meat.
Grew up on a farm, so the whole idea of animal slaughter for food is something I'm intimately familiar with. Family still own a lot of land, but a good deal of it has been turned from over used farm land into conservation preservation. Or strictly used for feed corn and soybeans. My uncle decided to invest more in ethanol.
I have a certain outlook on these things. My family hunts, I hunt. My step-dad has been a traditionalist hunter for a long time. Being a steward of the land you live on. And part of that means keeping a healthy number of, in our case deer, from overpopulation. But also, I've learned the hard way exactly what happens when you pull the trigger. You become responsible for it. Being handed the knife and told how to field dress and later butcher the kill. We don't take our meat to a processor, we do it all in the house.
I'm also one of those weirdos who was raised on raw milk because, again, was raised on a dairy farm. Granted, I wouldn't drink it now, because it'd probably mess me up. But back when I was a kid, drank it every day.
As weird as it to say, that feeling of sudden relief after you have an infected and abscessed tooth extracted. I was so nervous/anxious going into to see the surgeon, but that man knew his shit. Popped that thing in about ten minutes.
No pain, but I can't describe the amount of pressure I felt in my head while he was working on loosening it. I almost started crying once I felt the tooth gone. There was this audible sigh of 'OH GOD THANK YOU'.
@Roz I was going to question that because Sansa has been kind of an idiot this season. But then again, everyone has been an idiot this season, so I guess it washes out.
Part of me just kind of hopes everyone dies and no one wins.
At this point, it would be a mercy.
@Tempest I'm doing a long range Cipher build, which I guess I lucked out on since they tend to be on the OP end of things. Mostly, I just wanted a mage type class that wasn't restricted by 'per rest' number of spells. I don't mind building up damage and then doing crowd control. Or making enemies turn on each other. That's why more effective than I thought it would be.
Speaking of other games I want to be released but haven't been.
Where is Doom Eternal.
I initially said it was going to be a six game series between the Raptors and Bucks. Now, I'm not so sure. 5 probably, at this point. I don't see Milwaukee sweeping Toronto, I think they'll win one game.
Then again, if the last game is any indicator, I could be full of it.
Did a couple of purchases this past week. Two thoughts.
Pillars of Eternity: Haven't played a CRPG since Baldur's Gate. And boy, do I suck at it. It's like party-based Dark Souls. The game is not gentle and i have too much pride to lower the difficulty to 'Story Time'.
A Plague Tale: Innoence: Fuck you if you're not playing this right now. A well made stealth-based game with an engrossing story and 'HOLY FUCK ALL THE RATS' makes my bitter black heart happy.
@Arkandel Maybe if the Warriors weren't playing the Blazers. I had a small amount of hope for them, but that was misplaced pretty quickly.
Also, I'm not gonna forget the fact that they lucked out of getting this far. If you ask me, it was Houston's series to lose. Which they did. I lost 50 bucks on that, as I made a bet that Houston would win in 7.
I was almost right.
@Sparks said in Game of Thrones:
@insomniac7809 said in Game of Thrones:
i just want a First Law adaptation is that so much to ask
Unfortunately, the answer is apparently 'yes'.
Joke on HBO, because if they still want to keep mining the GoT goldmine with viewership, putting the First Law trilogy onto tv would be exactly how to do it.
I'm not immune to novacaine, I've had it done when I needed two of my wisdom teeth removed. Just a combination of being poor, being an idiot through my 20s, and not having been to a dentist...far more years than I want to say outloud, I feel that anxiety. Thankfully, I've had a number of co workers who have gone through the same thing.
On the other hand, I could get a root canal + cap and save the tooth. But it'd be $3k. That's before my insurance, but that price is almost nauseating. I'm going to check my dental plan tomorrow at work just see how much that would be covered.
The benefit to going to an oral surgeon is the fact that my health insurance covers that opposed to my dental and my health insurance is pretty damn good. So that's kind of the benefit to it? I guess?
