I freed up several hundred gigs the other day by deleting old crap.
I stopped storing internet pictures on my PC once image sites got big. I just save bookmarks to stuff now.
Don’t get me started on bookmarks, man. I’ve got hundreds of them.
I really need to organize my computer more. I had over 1,300 images in my picture folder, most of them were either pictures of dogs or memes.
How many constitute your fair share?
All of them.
New Vegas is better in every way
This is the first time I’ve read this on the entire internet.
I thought it was a pretty popular sentiment.
I’m not sure how if you have seen more than a couple of conversations regarding Fallout and New Vegas.
I’ve seen more than my fair share.
New Vegas is better in every way
This is the first time I’ve read this on the entire internet.
I thought it was a pretty popular sentiment.
The RPG elements are expanded on massively, with multiple factions you can join and multiple endings. The characters are much more interesting. The gun mechanics are improved on with new ammo types and ironsights. The only thing I think Fallout 3 did better is the map, the map in New Vegas is pretty empty, though that’s kinda expected from the Mojave desert.
How could we beat him? Is it even possible?
Am I the only one who found Fallout 3 completely grueling?
I don’t think I’ve ever finished Fallout 3, honestly. New Vegas is better in every way, so I’ve never really had a reason to do a full playthrough.
What’s ISB?
Imperial Security Bureau
Just played through the Fallout: New Vegas’ Dead Money DLC. Absolutely grueling and totally un-fun. I appreciate that they were trying something new, going for more of a survival horror atmosphere, but I hated every minute of it. The Ghost People were a pain in the ass to kill, and who’s idea was it to place deadly red fog everywhere? Not to mention the explosive collar that goes off if you spend too much time in an area you shouldn’t. And on top of that, there were unkillable holograms that are able to kill you in one shot, so you can only try and not get spotted by them. I ended using cheats to turn godmode on, just so I could get it over with. The only saving grace was the story.

I really can’t wait for VR get cheaper and better, because this looks awesome.

What, you don’t know I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meathook, and Now I Have a Three Picture Deal at Disney? Have you been living under a rock? 😛
So it’s only valid in cases where someone has a choice?
I’m not sure I would say it that way, but I’m not really sure how I would say it.
By that logic, I can’t “hate the sin” of an individual attracted to the same sex, but I can “hate the sin” of someone having homosexual sex, right? Bear in mind that you probably don’t know my views on homosexuality (and others who’ve known me longer and think they do likely not either) so don’t bring me personally into this. It’s merely a question. Homosexual sex is in fact a choice.
Sexual relief is a requirement for humans, and if you’re gay then the only way to get that is through gay sex. It may technically be a choice, but it’s a choice in the sense that your only other option is to be unhappy/sexually frustrated.
Sexual relief is a need, not a requirement for humans. The same with procreation. I don’t know of any reports of people dying from abstinence. Being a sentient life form is hard enough without all the other frustrations that come with it.
That’s a better way of saying it. It’s a need.
Being forced to be abstinent can be pretty harmful, not physically, but emotionally and psychologically. I think it’s fucked up to demand someone to be abstinent.
If you want to avoid shortening your natural human lifespan, avoid watching the “scientifically accurate Barney” video on YouTube at all costs.

Buzzkill.
I don’t know really where to put this since there isn’t a General Movies thread but it seems Batman v Superman got some inspiration from Iron Man 2 which is probably why it wasn’t that good of a film. One of the “similarities” is a bit of a reach though.
Which one? The secret HQ one (since Tony’s identity is public) or the drunk one (since Bruce was faking, I think)?
I would say the drunk one, but really everything he says is a bit of a stretch. Still interesting, though.

This thread might as well be.

The difference is that Iron Man is likable.
I agree with pretty much every point you’ve made.
That CGI looks like it was photoshopped over someone else’s face in that picture.
Surprisingly, Killer Croc was totally makeup and practical effects.
Just saw Suicide Squad, so these are my thoughts.
The first 30 minutes were grueling, to the point where I considered walking out of the theater. It was just boooring. The introduction of all the characters is incredibly sloppy, it’s just Amanda Waller giving exposition to some military assholes at a fancy restaurant. It’s akin to not having Man of Steel, and opening Batman v Superman with someone telling another character his story. “Clark Kent was born on a farm…”
The only saving grace of the first 30 minutes was the music. They opened the movie up with House of the Rising Sun, which I quite enjoyed. I will say the movie has an amazing soundtrack with songs like Sympathy for the Devil, Seven Nation Army, and Super Freak.
The editing was very strange, and very hard to describe. It’s very fast and jumpy, and I wasn’t a fan of it.
The performances were a mixed bag. Jai Courtney was surprisingly good, he played a very funny character, a far cry from his bland performance in Die Hard. Will Smith was absolutely great and likeable, as always, almost unbelievably so for a hitman. El Diablo was amazing, a very sympathetic but believable character. I’m definitely in the minority on this, but I wasn’t a fan of Harley Quinn, I think her performance felt very forced and like she was trying too hard. Rick Flag had the charisma of a wet brick and his southern accent sounded fake as hell, and the plot really hinges around him and his relationship to someone else, so it just didn’t work. Enchantress was straight up awful. Her performance was incredibly exaggerated, she was walking around with her hips gyrating (fuck you Ayer, no matter now attractive you make her it doesn’t make her performance good), moving her arms and head all around like some cartoon character. I’m not one to be offended on other peoples’ behalf, but at points I was embarrassed by Killer Croc. I felt that his character was vaguely racist. He only has a few lines in the movie, but they’re all barely understandable and in ebonics. There’s one point where he says “I’s wasn’t aksin’ you, bruh.” and I actually groaned.
6/10
I’ve had some new thoughts since I wrote this, so I’m gonna add on to it.
I think that the movie suffered a lot from tone issues. It’s like the writers didn’t know whether they wanted the movie to be serious or lighthearted, so they went for both and it came out a jumbled mess. Amanda Waller seemed like she was taking herself way too seriously every time she was on screen, but at other times there were attempts at Deadpool style humor. I saw a ton of different opportunities for jokes to be made if the movie was a lighthearted jokey movie. And most of the jokes that were made didn’t land with me, but that’s probably just my sense of humor since most of the audience was laughing.
After looking at some pictures of the cast all lined up, I think that Killer Croc was cast poorly. The actor who played him, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, just wasn’t imposing enough. He’s only 6’2, I’m the same height as him. I think they should’ve cast someone bigger, like Shaq or something. Look how short he is!
The character design of the villains was absolutely awful. One of the villains was such obvious CGI that it ruined my immersion every time I saw him.
The magical Enchantress shit felt very out of place compared to the rest of the world. I’m worried about Doctor Strange for this same reason. I can only suspend my disbelief so far, I’ll buy aliens and alternate dimensions, but once you throw in black magic hocus pocus bullshit, you lose me.
Still a 6/10
Nothing like getting a notification that a chat website that I used once or twice years ago was hacked and my information was leaked.

So then what is it saying?
That video games (at least those with a lot of content) have more contained within them than books and film combine.
That makes zero sense.
Sometimes, you’ll find more content in certain games than you would from reading a book and watching a movie.
I’m sure you could find an example, but in general, it makes no sense.
Actually you can find many many examples. And the picture does make sense given that they’re obviously talking about games with The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls series which takes hundreds of hours to fully complete.
The Elder Scrolls actually has an extremely complex lore, too. It covers everything, even the metaphysical shit that I can’t understand.
Anything I don’t like is overrated.
