  1. First and foremost, I saw the movie the other day. Now I agree with most of this: but not all of it. Overall, I'd give the movie a 6/10. Slightly above average, but not raising to the level of the previous ones. And feeling like nobody on set knew the lore of this franchise at all.
  2. I don't like game of thrones. I read the first 2 books, and half of the third. And...I just didn't want to read any more. I put down the series, and haven't picked it up since. And I have no interest in watching the show, mostly because I'm just done with the series, from the books.
  3. I've suffered from depression, for a long while. Though I didn't know it was depression at the time (it felt like I was just seeing the world for what it is, still feels that way, but less lately). I'm seeing a psychologist about my depression, and he's helping me to overcome that depression. I would recommend getting help. I know such things have a stigma attached to them, but you might be surprised by how effective seeing someone professional can be. Hang in there, and feel free to send me a PM if you want to talk.
  4. well alright then: https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9102970624/hC891ECCC/
  5. So, I just ordered a switch. ...For when the neices and nephews come over. One always has his game console of choice with him (recently, its become the switch). So I can set both up on my network, give the joycons to the kids, and let them play in the other room. Its its not, so I can play breath of the wild. Nope, and I definitely did not order breath of the wild as well as the switch. (non-nonchalant whistling)
  6. I recently picked up Torment: Tides of Numeria and Ever Space. So I'll be playing those next. Now though, I'm playing Jade Empire again. Haven't picked it up in over 5 years. But am playing it again. Funny how sometimes, the oldies are still the goodies.
  7. I was one of those who hated the idea of audio books. I grew up holding a book in my hand, and reading passages way above my reading level. But when I started college, I simply didn't have time to read any longer. I had to use all my non-driving time, to do homework. And (if there was some time) play some video games. But I was still missing reading novels, and knowing what happened in them. So I got myself an audible subscription. And, let me tell you all, its awesome. When the author, works with the narrator, and the narrator puts emphasis and caring into each characters lines, it is amazing. If you listen to the star wars novels, the audio books turn it into as much a movie as possible, including sound effects. Most others don't go to that production level, but its still a neat thing to listen too. And I only read the martian, on audible. And I was laughing so hard, I had to pull over a few times. Just from the narrators delivery of the characters lines. I've had some flops too, where the narrator clearly didn't care. Or I simply didn't like the novel in question. But overall, I'd say my audio book experience has been far more positive then negative.
  8. I would rather know the endings of books. Though both those options suck. Would you rather live for over a thousand years, but be incredibly ugly? Or be incredibly beautiful, but only live for 20 years?
  9. My closet is bad. I don't exactly spent a whole lot of time in there but its where I keep my clothes. My problem is, I only have the 1 shelf to keep clothes on. the other 2 are too high for clothing keeping. So I ordered a set of wire metal shelves off amazon. I plant to fasten the top and bottom of the shelves, to my existing shelves, with velcro cable ties. Then store my clothes and such in the box shelves. These are the shelves I ordered btw: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTX6CV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It doesn't take much to make me happy!
  10. ok, I know I'm necro posting. But this sub forum isn't exactly lively, and this is on point to the topic at hand. This is why there is a setting in firefox, about only using sites with HTTPS. And why I never connect to a wifi hot spot that's not password protected.
  11. I'm worried about a quality drop. I would rather get quality movies, then yearly movies.
  12. Anyone remember this phone?
  13. Oh! here's another character I really like. Artyom from the metro series (books and games). And I've really grown to not like Roland from the dark tower series. I was really hoping he'd die off by now.
  14. It seems like most of the games nowadays, don't have a soul to them. They seem so bland, just cookie cutter games with a different frosting (to keep with the cookie theme).
  15. Worry, I think. If I knew everyone was going to be back in the very near future, maybe find myself a house and lay claim to it? But that's the only thing I can think if being able to do on my own.
  16. 1.) To find the love of a partner (preferably a woman, but I'll take what I can get at this point). But not have it forced on someone (myself or someone else). 2.) A portal (or some other means of time travel) to the future, where I could get on a colony ship bound for a new world. 3.) To be able to learn things at an incredible rate. So that I could make myself useful on this ship, and the new colony it founds. All this said, I have to agree with @captains domon. The djin are known for turning wishes back on the wishers, making them from dreams to nightmares.
  17. Yea, I rather like the fantasy stuff outside of the medieval times era. The shadow run games are a great example. But there is nothing about the medieval time period I like. Not even really sword fighting in modern times.
  18. Ah, but he's done a steam punk novel as well. 2 in fact. Thats the only reason I'm here. That and I get bored while at work.
  19. I don't like fantasy. The idea of royalty and peasants really bothers me, and turns me off to the whole genre.
  20. But that way, they couldn't get real time video on your house interior, real time audio, and unlimited access to your house whenever they wanted.
  21. Hidy ho all, I just came across this site: https://kano.me/. It has build your own computer kits, primarily marketed at kids, to help folks learn about building kits, and programming. I thought it was neath, and I'd pass it along. According to the site, they teach you how to program in Java/Python/Unix with the kits. Edit: I wish I'd have had these kits when I was younger.
  22. Hidy ho all, I just read this new story on my local site. And its...quite terrifying. longisland.news12.com/story/36683883/not-at-home-amazon-wants-to-come-in-and-drop-off-packages The short of it is, you let an amazon delivery person, into your home, to drop off a package, while your not there. You buy an amazon lock, and amazon camera, the delivery person is then let past your lock, and into your home. How is this anything but scary? And how do you feel about the idea?
  23. Does apache have problems with compatibility?
  24. Well, I learned something new today! Though I have no idea what those things he handles are. Still, glad he's still involved. And still showing up to conferences too.
