So how about a movie that I'm the target demographic of: Borderlands, Clear example of hollywood not sticking to source materials and aiming for a quick, lazy cashgrab. Thankfully it backfired. This looks to be the same recipe, throw some well known actors in, type out a generic story vaguely inspired by the source material, slap the vfx team on it and call it a day.

They are disrespecting the franchises they depict and by letting it be we show them it's okay to do so. Kids don't know what's good or how to spot a lazy cashgrab. Most of them haven't been deceived by greed yet, this could be it. I think they deserve better.

Plenty of non 30+ years old have the same complaints, we just happen to be on a platform that not a lot of young people use.

I think it's because alot of ttrpg' use hex grid maps (some for combat, but mostly for travelling long distances)

Careful some calls might just be to collect your voice data for cloning. They'd call, record, and use your voice for malicious purposes like asking your relatives for money

Apparently you should be able to stop a sneeze by rubbing your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Never tried tho

They could be pulling a 'sonic movie' move here, releasing a terrible trailer to gather heat and information.

Though the sonic movie only had Sonic to change

+1 for the Gamesir, completely dropped sitting at my desktop. Now my main screen is for shows and the secondary is for game streaming through SteamLink.

I grabbed the X2 because it seemed the most compact without sacrificing triggers or joysticks, but I now think the G8 would have been a better choice with the larger grip

If ever you could also use the lockdown mode, once enabled you just hold the power button and it gives you the option to turn off biometrics and lockscreen notifications

Since I found out about SteamLink that's all i use to game on now. Got a controller grip for my phone and voila! No need for a SteamDeck really

Parsec afaik isn't super compatible with linux much, I know the latest raspbian doesn't support it.

Consider SteamLink it has a linux app and works really well for remote gaming.

Drum island ends with Season 3 out of 21 (so far) | so episode 92 | arc 5 of saga 2, still very early in the show. Curious to see what Chopper looks like in live action.
