To get to this scene you will have already seen a snuff braindance, so I'm not sure what the point of this is.
Also any pretending that CDPR had the awareness to do some kind of wink wink nudge nudge Funny Games you're the real monster bullshit (which let's be clear, any movie maker who does this can eat a big fuckin pile of turds) is a bigger fantasy than The Witcher 1-3.
I've watched Jurassic Park 8 1/2 times. It helps me get through when 2020 starts really doing it to me.
"I hate the dumb way Bostonians talk."
"So don't I!"
@Quinn said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
@TheOnceler Sounds like someone's about to take a header down the stairs.
Aw, go stick yer head in a chadabo.
Of all the dumb names Bostonians have for stuff nothing bugs me quite as much as calling ground beef 'hamburg'.
Like, I can get over frappe and honey dip and dungarees and getting all gay panicky when I call a plastic bag a 'sack' (true story), but I just can't get past hamburg. It's so dumb.
Control on Switch? As a cloud game? Whaaaat?
There's a free demo (five minutes only, which is understandable since it's really just to see if your network can handle it) and damn if it isn't just beautiful and responsive. I've played games on a cartridge that had more input lag.
If this is a future for Nintendo I'm into it. Bring on Cyberpunk 2077 Cloud Edition.
I passed on The Boys for the first season because the comics were such a regrettable mess. One of those things that as an edgelord fifteen years ago I found funny but looking at now I'm just like eeeegh. But the TV show has changed a number of things and everything they changed has been for the better, from dropping sexual assault as a punchline (in the comics Black Noire sexually assaults Hughie, haha, isn't that funny?) to giving Kimiko a fucking name.
The best change, of course, is Frenchie, who is the best goddam character in the show.
Also, the kid who plays Hughie is Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's son. Yikes.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales demo footage!

The graphics don't look great but I will be cautiously optimistic. I was not a fan of the fighting system from FF: Dudes with Car, and it looks like they are using that again
Hopefully you don't have to buy a shit ton of DLC for the entire story again..
Looks a bit like the FFVII remake.
Tomorrow's gonna suuuuuuUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuck.
Actions results that suggest someone really gets your character, but also don't mind torturing them a little bit.
I have a couple of 'interesting books coming out this month' sites I like. So every month I go to them, read their descriptions of the interesting books and then buy whatever strikes my fancy.
I'm still pretty sad that the Barnes and Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy blog died. Joel Cunningham had my number. He does stuff over at Tor.com now, but they didn't bother doing a list this month for anything other than YA novels! Jerks.
I'm just so goddam tired and so constantly on my last nerve and so probably a real delight to be around.
When you realize that a lot of other people have a peeve with someone with whom you have a peeve and that motivates you to just cut some ties you thought you'd be stuck with forever.
Sorry to anyone who is about to get caught in the splash zone of their unwillingness to accept it, tho.
Tossing up an impromptu event, expecting four or five people to come and having nearly two dozen come out.
Also, getting to give @Narson a compliment that leaves him all
We're in the outback, baby! No rules, just right!

Used another generator on the same page.
Wait, I didn't know we could do that!
Okay, here's Hamish if he was an anime school boy
And if he was an anime geek boy
And if he was a Pokemon trainer, but also a girl
And if he was a very kawaii sad girl
Yay! The blood dimmed tide is loosed!
@Ominous said in Fantasy Avatar Generator:
Yeah, as I said, a lot of the options are feminine looking. Your male character ends up looking androgynous or just plain young. I suspect it is because it is designed for elves, as there is only one set of human ears and like a dozen or more elf ears.
Even the elf ears options aren't great if you like your elves to have regular ears, but pointy, as opposed to big ol' wings on the side of your head.
@Testament said in Fantasy Avatar Generator:
Hamish looks like the lead singer of a Creed tribute band.
Ugh. Nik is fabulous, but he's not this pretty. There was no Alec Baldwin-ish 'handsome but doughy' option.
Lot of problems with this Hamish.
Neither big enough, nor old enough. And what's the deal with no spider or skull jewelry? C'mon!
@Aria said in Fantasy Avatar Generator:
I also made Secret Mia, which is WAY CUTE, but argggh. I cannot share because secret.
Yeah. Nik just doesn't strike me as physically interesting enough to make using the thingy. And I couldn't do better for Hamish than Qui Gon Jinn. He's literally who I've had in mind for the character since I first came up with the idea about two years ago. But I did do a Secret Hamish which I can't really share and which had @Quinn loudly laughing at me.
