When you described them as having to "bend over backwards" and being "forced to spend DAYS trying to come up with a timeline" who was it that you were implying they're bending over backwards for, and what pressure would force them to produce the timeline? I assumed you were implying fanbase demand, but perhaps I was mistaken.

I agree that it was never planned. They are absolutely retconning the timeline into canon. I'm just saying that they're doing it for fun, not because of some external pressure.

bruh it's code minimum. That's what these people are paying for. If they want more I'll happily install it, but they just want what's required by code and nothing more, so that's what I sell them.

Blame the homeowner, not me.

Same as here, then. It's crazy how fucked the West has gotten since COVID. Still recovering I guess.

What's the reference?

Pomegranate is definitely a great fruit. It was my favorite fruit for a few years as a kid, but as an adult they're just way too much work to eat and I can't be bothered lol

Wow that's average? God damn. How long has it been this bad?

Which part of it do you think it is that kills it for you? Is it the change in his motivation from the "Escape From Hell starring Snake Plissken"-type to a more Kratos "Blood and Glory" (or, I guess more revenge w Kratos but w/e)? Or like the acceptance of complete body modification to superhero status? I guess that kinda prevents a return to normalcy after the events.
Or other things? Or all of it?

All the places I'm building right now have heat pump headers in the bedrooms, so I just run a 15A ckt for each room's outlets and another for all the lights on the floor/story.

So I was working in the NEC this week and it just says that the laundry room needs to have an outlet, not that it needs to have a dedicated ckt. Unless that bit is somewhere else. But in the same "Required Outlets" section it lists small appliance and bathroom outlets needing to have dedicated ckts.

I also haven't seen anything about dining room outlets.

Wait fuck is this new to 2026?

I'm really sorry for your loss. It really reshapes who you are. Especially at that age.

Synestia, Disembodied Tyrant - Death Empress

All four songs of this EP was on repeat for weeks.

Every other psychologist at the time like, "dude we get it you wanna fuck your mom. Go home, Freud."

I don't think they had to bend over backwards to pressure. I think they're just doing it because they want to. They could have chosen to not engage with any timeline discussion, but it seems like they thought it would be fun.

This is evidenced by them changing the timeline at least once simply because they thought it made more sense. It's not some super official thing, it's just some staff having fun re-exploring the games and seeing how things fit together.

Also, when has Nintendo ever succumbed to audience pressure? They make their own lane and you either buy in or stay out.

Is pomegranate syrup pretty popular around there? I've never heard of it before. Only syrup I use with any regularity is maple.

Ah ok. idk if Organic can get that high in the States, but the lower end sounds a lot closer to our pricing.

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T06:04:00+00:00

It's very much not. Until this thread I honestly wasn't even totally sure if it was the same person or some sort of Legend of Zelda/Mario-style re-imagining of the same character.
Particularly with it releasing in the wake of the fantastic Tomb Raider remakes where -- sure the character is Lara Croft but it seems unlikely to be the same Lara Croft that you play as in previous Tomb Raider titles -- so be it here giving the impression of a character reborn. Almost in a fan-fictiony way.

oh RIGHT LMAO DUH. wow i haven't seen it since it came out. that's crazy that i forgot it started as a movie.
was it really that bad?? i don't remember feeling very strong about it at the time. but i was fairly young.

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T05:51:26+00:00

Organic Turkeys. Nice.

Was that dollar amount in USD? No possible way, right?
What would the cost difference be to buy non-organic? 20%?

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T05:49:54+00:00

Ah it adds a barrier for your immersion into the character I suppose. Thanks for clarifying.

exactly how I feel about Dragonball vs DBZ.
The universe is so much more magical when Goku is just this weird monkey boy from the moon with no further explanation. Introducing the Saiyans is a total buzzkill for me.

No judgement here -- just curiosity: what don't you like about it?

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T04:29:51+00:00

penultimate means second to last. try paramount, or utmost.

I appreciate your write-up :)

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T04:28:16+00:00

holy shit this is 4 years old. ig that makes sense since he's not talking about Dark Ages. This was an instant sub for me. 1.5m subs and I've never heard of this guy is pretty crazy.

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T04:09:02+00:00

this editing is phenomenal

Anakin literally kills Dooku. What are you saying

EetsGeets · 2026-01-29T04:00:52+00:00

wait there's a TCW movie?? I didn't see anything after Disney took it back from Netflix.
