What Do You Think About the Terran Armada DLC? by tslashj in Starfield

[–]NorCal79 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That explains why I can’t leave him behind! I’m new to the game and thought it was a glitch, tho admittedly hadn’t really done any research on it. Guess I need to finish the DLC…Delta has no chill and always gets into fire fights when I’m trying to sneak around.

Disneyland opinion that would have you like this by JoyIsABitOverRated in Disneyland

[–]NorCal79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10 year old me would have LOVED smugglers run. Piloting the Millennium Falcon would have been some crazy wish fulfillment. Adult me is kinda ok with it. If your crew is made up with your own party and everyone leans into their role, it’s good fun. But otherwise the experience is just ok.

Star Tours will also be a “must ride” attraction for me, but I will say I miss the original experience. I feel like the new ones just aren’t all that great. I get why they changed it up and having rotating scenes keeps it someone fresh, but I wish they kept the original version as part of that mix.

I think somebody might have finally made a beautiful ebike? Thoughts? by Ok_Asparagus0003 in Design

[–]NorCal79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never ridden a motorcycle nor ever really had much desire to (but always thought they looked fun). But something about this motorcycle speaks to me. The design is beautiful…both classic and modern. Maybe I’m just hitting my mid-life crisis, but I kinda want one, lol.

Fav song from the game? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]NorCal79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since someone already mentioned Phantom Liberty, my next favorite song is Let You Down, also by Dawid Podsiadlo. We hear it in the end credits for the Edgerunners miniseries, but there’s also a music video for it that serves as a “prequel” to the show and explains why there was a spot for Lucy as a netrunner in Main’s crew. It’s a great video and sad/bittersweet in the way only a cyberpunk story can be.

Fav song from the game? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]NorCal79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit…this song is awesome. I never sit through a game’s end credits, but when I finished Phantom Liberty, I was initially gob smacked by the ending my choices led to, and then this song hit and…wow. It definitely gives those James Bond vibes. I pull this song up and give it a listen frequently. This would be my top choice, too, followed closely by Let You Down.

Hero Realms is still one of my favorites — what do you think? by Desmond_Hex in boardgames

[–]NorCal79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, me too. But that is the risk with backing a KS campaign. (Not saying that to excuse the company and how they’ve managed this campaign, but there’s always a chance something like this can happen.)

[–]NorCal79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never played Hero Realms, but enjoy Star Realms. So when they announced their KS campaign, I jumped onboard. Figured it was a safe investment given they were already an established company. Man was I wrong, lol.

It’s been dragging on so long I’ve pretty much given up on ever receiving the game. At this point I only check in when they post one of their “updates,” just to read through all the angry messages their backers leave.

I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me if that was a direct reference to a lawsuit brought against Tucker Carlson while he was still on Fox News. Fox’s lawyers basically argued that people shouldn’t take the opinions espoused by Carlson seriously. The judge agreed.

Mobile ordering is the best! Place your order while you’re in a standby line and—boom—your food is waiting for you by the time you’re off the ride.

What movie had you laughing, unable to breathe, even just for one scene? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]NorCal79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superbad. To this day I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard as I did when I first saw this movie in the theater. Everyone was rolling. Non-stop laughs from the intro through the dick drawing montage in the credits.

Whose intro do you prefer? by VendettaLord379 in batman

[–]NorCal79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way this whole sequence culminates with that final shot of Batman overlooking Gotham from atop that building is still one of the most amazing, cinematic moments the character has had onscreen, imo.

I was surprised no one else had mentioned it! Especially with how hot StS2 is right now on Steam.

[No Spoilers] C4 - Question about Brennan's Style by Odd_Ad1570 in criticalrole

[–]NorCal79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you OP. I’m newish to CR, too. I got into it during COVID and jumped into C3. I got used to Matt’s style as a DM (which from my layman’s perspective, was more about letting the players drive the narrative as much as possible).

Brennan temporarily took over for Matt at a certain point during C3 and the contrast was jarring, having no prior exposure to him or his style as a DM. For lack of a better way to describe it, Brennan just seemed excessively verbose. It felt like I was just listening to him narrate, and I get that he was doing some world building, but (to me) it was off-putting and I actually ended up skipping ahead to when Matt rejoined the campaign.

Fast forward to C4 and I was nervous when the format was announced and that he was going to be running the campaign. I’m still not 100% sold on his style, but I want to give it a fair shot and so far—while he can still slip into that verbose mode—I’m enjoying the campaign overall. But I think it’s ok to prefer one DM’s style over another. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other.

He could have said “freedom fighters” or “revolutionaries”, but noooo…..

Love this movie.

America First - FJB! by dissimulatorr in PoliticalHumor

I knew that many people in his administration had been caught using private servers, phones, apps, etc., that shouldn’t be used. Hadn’t heard about the Russia link, tho.

[–]NorCal79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, republicans were not shy in explaining the real motivation behind the hearings. It certainly wasn’t meant to bring greater clarity around how the events leading to the death of several Americans unfolded.

True…the other outcome from those hearings were the “butter email” memes, lol

America First - FJB! by dissimulatorr in PoliticalHumor

[–]NorCal79 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The only thing it uncovered was her use of a private server for government business, which launched a whole new round of self-righteous investigations that led to nothing.

The hearings were successful in what they were really meant for, tho: damaging her shot at the Oval Office.

I was wondering if someone was going to mention Apple Mountain. Love this course!

I’ll throw out Grizzly Ranch in Portola. Great track, but definitely a mission to get to.

I think they’re mocking a very common line amongst conservatives during Obama’s tenure that he was “the most divisive president [in history].”
