Only 4 more days, baby!!

I finally finished Dark Souls 3!

Yeah, he was and it’s dreadfully obvious.

I definitely failed this challenge. Sorry. I'm still reading everything everyone's posting, tho. I will be back to posting soon!

Damn.. Captain America: Brave New World was really middling to bad. Very messy, sometimes good, never even close to great. Often just flat out boring. I would be very interested to know what the shape of the film was before they started redoing so much of it.

oh nice, I’ve been following the development of his latest game not even knowing he’d made similar games before. His newest one is out now, by the way: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739900/Death_of_the_Reprobate/

Rewatched Captain America: The Winter Soldier, preparing for the new Captain America and man.. that is a *very* tight film compared to MCU films later on. From the very first running scene with Steve and Sam, the first 50 minutes or so fly by so quickly, with the big boat setpiece, Fury's escape and the elevator fight. It's just really tight action film-making and Cap feels so chunky and powerful in this one. Absolute love it. Sort of slowly falls apart by the end, when it's a gigantic three helicarrier setpiece, but the first half is so good it carries you over the later half. Redford and Sam Jackson are great. After that I started Captain America: Civil War, which just immediately feels like such a downgrade. Lots of fun elements, but you can feel the bloat. Too many threads, too nebulous a threat from Zemo. The opening setpiece is no Lemurian Star. Has to do a lot of introductions and setting up before it can get anywhere. The big fight between them all at the airport is a lot of fun, but it's just there to be fun. I do like the central conflict between Tony and Steve and their final fight over Bucky is where the real stuff is, but the way there is just too sweaty. So.. I'm still excited to see the fourth one. I really like the trailers they've been putting out for it. Maybe Ford can bring some good Redford energy to this one. Speaking of trailers! The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer looks awesome!

Even our very own Doug Tabacco?! #SaveDoug

Thanks clyde! It sounds really nice, I'll make sure to check it out. Sci-fi and fantasy was my main jam when I did read (a lot of it was just Pratchett books, honestly) so Murderbot sounds right up my alley. Thanks!

Halo2's obviously gone missing, but now that this is just a general recommendation thread.. does anyone have any new recommendations? Or, actually: Does anyone have any good recommendations for someone (me) who doesn't read a lot? I dream of getting back to reading, but I might want to start with something a bit easier on the brain.

I've also started learning some more Blender. First up was learning how to render in Cycles and rig a character. Here's where I am so far.

Made this Yulelad animation lasts Christmas.

Heck yeah! Let's do it.

Ah, perfect! Excellent recommendation, I'll check it out. Thanks! Look at us, using forums to recommend things again. 🥰

Good catch! I haven't seen any site mention that there's dual optical sensors. Maybe it's for determining the orientation of the mouse, e.g. for rotating a brush when painting in Mario Paint.
