- Comment on Bungie CEO Pete Parsons retires: With Destiny 2 sentiment at an all-time low and pressure from Sony growing, Parsons has decided it's time to 'pass the torch' and head for an exit 8 hours ago:
I lost interest when I first tried Destiny 2 years after it was 1st released and realized they didn’t seem interested in new players.
Too many storylines merging and diverging before you have any idea whats happening.
It was like reading a book (and it’s series) out of order.

Right! just look how locked down android has become since the early/mid 2000’s.
You don’t even have full control of your sd card anymore (if you’re lucky enough to actually have a phone with an sd slot.)
- Comment on Two weeks notice 5 days ago:
As a general rule of thumb - fuck 2 weeks notice. Do companies give you any notice before they derail your life?
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 3 weeks ago:
I cant say if it’s because of the sex stigma in the usa or because it’s just weird
Context could make it better I guess - like maybe the sons a sex/porn addict or something along those lines.
But you said this particular context makes it worse (and the only worse context I can think of right now is she had it molded to herself) so I would have to say it’s pretty abnormal.
my mom bought me playboys back in the day somewhere around my 14th/15th birthday and I was pretty weirded out by that relatively ‘benign’ act.

- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 2 months ago:
Yeah I wanna say the majority of people have less holidays off these days already. Hell even paid holidays (where the business doesn’t close but you get 1.5x pay) seem to be shrinking.

‘Best’ case scenario for refusing to be a prisoner slave is you would lose all “privileges”.
No yard time, probably placed into solitary. No commissary access - so things like soap and toothpaste would be withheld.
Food is also restricted to “basics” along the lines of bread and water.
Of course the reality is they will straight up torture you for not playing by their rules. Aka complete withholding of food and interaction and cleanliness as they either ‘forget’ you in solitary or just have an ‘accident’ with you.
- Comment on Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances 2 months ago:
I’d classify Garak as Military. While he isn’t a soldier per se him being a Spook (Especially a Cardie Spook) means he was directly involved in tactical ops.
Marritza by contrast was doing a decidedly civilian job (file clerk) and most likely only ever participated in combat during training.

I just rewatched that episode about a month ago. Such an amazing episode.
RIP Harris Yulin.

I may be misremembering, but I think it got the Firefly treatment with out of order episodes too.

It actually does lol.

I’d like to give an honorary shout out to the From Dusk til Dawn series.
No Selma, but still offers quite the feast for the eyes while actually being an enjoyable remake of the movie.
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 2 months ago:
Just watched Paradise over the last few days.
I initially slept on it because it sounded generic in the most boring of ways. But holy shit it was good.
Besides for some bits in Sinatra’s episode I was riveted the whole time.
Everybody involved with it deserve a round of applause.

That pretty much sums it up lol.

I’m sure there’s probably one horse somewhere who would actually enjoy skydiving, but I don’t see an ethical way to find said horse.

Conan continues to bring good vibes.

It was when it first dropped so I cant really remember any details, but I do remember liking it.
- Comment on Jurassic World Rebirth | Official Trailer 2 2 months ago:
Ok one thing really in the trailer that really grinds my gears is an exchange bewtween 2 characters. C1 - “you don’t see that everyday” C2 - “or ever” in regards to fucking dinosaurs 7(?) movies deep.
- Comment on No we can talk here 2 months ago:
Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was “stolen” from Myth-adventures as much as it was “stolen” from Discworld.
Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of ‘norms’.
Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it’s just background pretty much.

Just watched the 1st 2 episodes of Murderbot.
I like it. It’s humorous, but not overbearingly so.
- Comment on ‘The Pitt’ Emmy Submissions Revealed With Noah Wyle Up For Lead Actor & Writing 3 months ago:
Very realistic. And visceral. (Maybe too much for some - I was certainly surprised they actually showed a baby being born.)
I consider ER to be a soap opera, where everything else takes 2nd place to the drama.
The Pitt recognizes the importance of all the background stuff.
Things are said and done at the appropriate time. No technobabble, defib being used correctly - stuff like that.

They hit a home run with The Pitt. There’s not one thing I can complain about. Everything is on point.

Just finished the latest season of Will Trent.
I’m really enjoying the show more than I thought I would. I almost dropped it in season one, glad I stuck around.
- Comment on Why ‘Suits LA’ Was One and Done 3 months ago:
Suits LA is pretty much the opposite of Suits in that respect. It feels a lot more lighthearted than Suits or Pearson.
While there still is macho man bullshit it is nowhere near the level of Suits. And there’s a ‘softness’ to most characters that is displayed a lot more than Suits ever showed.

It certainly surprised me to learn it was on the chopping block. It’s a pretty decent procedural.
