    (Watch|mac|iPad|i)OS 26: The Enpludgening

    Pludged on my 16 Pro Max. Haven’t really deep dived on it but I tried tinted home screen icons; didn’t like it but maybe I just need to dial it in better. The new phone interface is weirding me out at the moment but I suppose I can adjust. Only real issue I’ve come across is google voice now...

    The (grim, dark) DC Cinematic Universe thread

    raises hand Saw it Tuesday (Hail Amazon Prime advance screening). In non-spoilery terms, it was legitimately a joy to watch. It's not perfect, for sure, but I definitely feel comfortable saying that Gunn landed the damn thing and managed to reboot and jump start a whole new DC cinematic...

    Is Babylon 5 Worth Watching?

    That felt like some real Wild West times as far as TV sausage-making went. The end of PTEN, the rise of WB & UPN, TNT making the save. Crazy stuff. And for the folks new to the show; if you want the full show experience, you also need to read the B5 Lurkers Guide...

    "It's Glowtime" September 9, 2024 iPhone Event

    16 pro max in nat Ti ordered For the record, the pre pre-order system was incredibly disappointing and frustrating in my experience. Had everything loaded in, selected store pick-up; "unavailable for this address". Selected delivery; "unavailable for this address". Bounced off the same error...

    missing the epic codpiece - Dune Part Two: the Reckoning: A Dune Story: Punctuation!

    I highly recommend seeing Dune 2: Electric Boogaloo in a Dolby Atmos theater if available. The sound design was just unparalleled by anything I can recall. 11/10, would get nearly deafened at points again. Pocket non-spoiler review: Am strongly considering seeing it again when I'm not wiped...

    My God, it's full of Starfield...

    At 20-some-odd hours in, a couple 'news to me' QOL tips: 1) Never occurred to me that you could partially load research projects which is a nice additional out for off-loading mats 2) Make note of the mats you can craft at the industrial workbench. Lots of those items are heavy as loot so it's...

    It's Skrulls all the way down: Marvel's Secret Invasion (Premieres June 21) (SPOILERS)

    Maybe I missed it but do the humans know that the skrulls are keeping the originals on ice for their brains? Like, G'iah knows but maybe didn't share that info with her dad or Fury for various plot/character reasons.

    It's Skrulls all the way down: Marvel's Secret Invasion (Premieres June 21) (SPOILERS)

    I have to say, Gravik's been a great big bad for the series; smart, ruthless, executing a well thought-out plan. His eventual defeat in the finale will feel well earned. But holy shit do I haaaaaateeeeee Skrhodey. I don't know how much of it is the writing/story versus Cheadle but Skrhodey is...

    It's Skrulls all the way down: Marvel's Secret Invasion (Premieres June 21) (SPOILERS)

    The Armor Wars movie is gonna be wild dealing with the fallout of Skrhodey. Wouldn’t surprise me if Gravik’s plan B long game ends up being Skrhodey leaking the Iron Man tech into the world at large.

    Missing Tourist Submarine, somewhere near the Titanic

    So now we have the grim thought experiment of: Worse way to go: near instantaneous crushing inside a proverbial tin can or hopefully instantaneous crush by sheer water pressure while probably getting torn to ribbons by shards of carbon fiber
