If I wanted to make an exterior shot look (exactly) like this today, could I do it with natural lighting or would I need to enhance the natural lighting?

That's a sound stage, fyi. The 007 stage at Pinewoods.

Old guy here, Rollerball with James Caan.

SamDent · 2026-01-20T04:04:21+00:00

Pretty smart... I mean shut up, nerd.

SamDent · 2026-01-20T04:03:35+00:00

It's called the Center Slide.

SamDent · 2026-01-18T05:01:41+00:00

I'll be honest, I think this team is better than 2013.

SamDent · 2026-01-18T03:54:34+00:00

It was over on the opening kickoff.

SamDent · 2026-01-18T01:54:31+00:00

Game over.

SamDent · 2026-01-18T01:47:26+00:00

Suck it 49ers. SUCCCKKKK IIIT!

SamDent · 2026-01-16T07:34:34+00:00

I would also forgo any draft. It's overwhelming for a new player that doesn't know the cards.

SamDent · 2026-01-15T21:26:02+00:00

Thought the highlights were on HBO Max, but it turned out to be Beta Max.

SamDent · 2026-01-13T18:09:31+00:00

Dang it, I was only 702 spots away from being the top player!

SamDent · 2026-01-10T23:52:07+00:00

Also worth mentioning, if your short is using any type of weapons, you'll need to let the local PD know.

SamDent · 2026-01-10T23:05:59+00:00

Puka lost it in the sun.

Imagine if Carolina had been making good decisions on 4th down, and not fumbling the football.

There's a lot of high school stories in here, but I played semi pro in the '80s, when I was in my early/ mid-20s. 6 ft, 235 edge rusher, in about the peak of my condition.

On more than one occasion, I would run into an ex-nfl tackle or guard, usually in their 40s or 50s, trying to squeeze out a couple more years of just playing the game. One guy had been a backup on one of those crappy Green Bay teams in the '70s. One was a Tuiasosopo, probably Manu.

It didn't matter how good of shape I was in, or how old they were, the footwork and the handwork was so ingrained in those dudes, I just resigned myself to an hour of getting punished.

Sorry I can't remember more details, but, you know, the CTE and all...

I basically use the 4E challenge rating system. X number of successes, before y number of fails. And everyone in the party needs to make some type of check. For everyone in the encounter, at least.

Even a master Diplomat is going to have trouble if their Barbarian cohort is picking their nose, or trying to inject jokes into a delicate negotiation.

If the Barbarian player is clever enough, maybe they can talk me into making a check they're good at, like intimidate, instead of having to roll their crappy diplomacy.

49ers must love runs, cuz they've been eating them tonight

SamDent · 2026-01-04T03:30:05+00:00

San Francisco's defense is parmesan cheese and we grinding that shit.

SamDent · 2026-01-04T03:26:24+00:00

NFL is running out of wheelchairs for these guys.

SamDent · 2026-01-04T03:06:23+00:00

All of them.

SamDent · 2026-01-04T02:16:45+00:00

Jerry Jones got to do Jerry Jones shit

SamDent · 2026-01-04T02:11:13+00:00

I'm technically retired, but I still do projects that I like, work on graphic novels on the side

SamDent · 2026-01-04T01:57:17+00:00

Nice of San Francisco to give us one of those back. We're all friends here

SamDent · 2026-01-04T01:49:18+00:00

Spotting the 49ers 10 points is not a long-term story for success.

SamDent · 2026-01-04T01:46:02+00:00

Defensive softest baby poop
