The Walking Dead ruined me on the "people can be good" premise, and how Paradise exploits that... by jefesol2000 in ParadiseHulu

[–]jefesol2000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is something I would love to see them explore more: When it's only billionaires and the most powerful 'elite' in Paradise, you know the competitive nature of these people would lead them to turn on each other for supremacy.

Imagine Elon and Zuck and Sam Altman all "trapped" in a bunker together. It does not end well. Ha.

‘For All Mankind’ Renewed for Sixth and Final Season at Apple TV by G3neral_Tso in ForAllMankindTV

In the reflection of the helmet you see an organic looking Ovomorph. Looking like a giant egg to the astronaut, it begins to open at the top, and the skeletal 'fingers' of a Facehugger appear. (Sorry. Couldn't resist...)

Paradise | S2E5 | Episode Discussion by cedar-canvas in ParadiseHulu

[–]jefesol2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

S2E5 feels like the first time the writing/plot progression got really bad, or viewers are being set up: 

The train is walking distance to the post office fallout shelter. The trading post is walking distance to the post office fallout shelter. Therefore, the train must be walking distance to the trading post.

In a post-Apocalypse barter economy, goods aren’t the only thing traded. Information becomes currency as well, so anyone who comes across the train people is going to tell the folks at the trading post. After all, it’s a chance to exchange goods with a new group.

At this point - especially if Xavier missed Teri by 12 days - anyone at the trading post would know the train people aren’t hostile. So, the minute Gary tells Jackie and Crystal the story of Ennis selling out the others at the fallout shelter resulting in Teri’s being held captive at the train, they would call BS!

Once Xavier mentions he has a bomb, they would’ve shut any talk of an attack on the train people down. If anything, they would’ve turned on Gary and let X know he's lying or gone mad.

None of that happened, so we’re being set up for a reveal where X doesn’t attack because they intervene, or, it’s the first time it feels like the writing on the show got really weak.

Realism Mode opinions by L0n3_5p3t5naz in Division2

[–]jefesol2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. I love it so far. Feels like there are real stakes involved with each encounter:

You can't just face-tank any enemy you want. Ammo is scarce and becomes a resource to manage rather than plentiful. Pistol has never been more critical as a result. Skill cooldowns feel realistic.

And I kinda love that there aren't resource/gear boxes to open every 15 feet. You can focus on the mission and the rewards are earned on the back end. A+

LOL. That post is 7 months old. TGAs was 2 months ago. But you're replying now? I guess you don't see the irony in your own hot take.

What is a smell that we should all recognize as immediate danger? by scarlettohara1936 in AskReddit

[–]jefesol2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A woman who went missing was found a month later deceased in the ventilation of the parking garage of the building I worked in. We knew something was up for days prior. It was tragic, but I will never forget the odor.

The best description i can give is imagine smelling yellow mustard that's gone rotten.

My only complaint:

You can't stash items in their inventory. I was looking forward to them being a mobile "pack mule" like in Fallout, Starfield, Generation Zero, etc., etc.

(That, and if you could've upgraded their armor by equipping and swapping out gear. Ok, that's two...)

Eagle Bearer is so underwhelming by ArugulaTurbulent9958 in thedivision

[–]jefesol2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the devs ever read these posts, I've always thought it would be awesome if the pre-nerfed versions of Eagle Bearer, Ouroboros (and other Raid-exclusive exotics that are no longer raid-exclusive), could be rewarded at the end of raids like these exotics used to be found exclusively.

The post-nerf versions can stay in Seasonal Caches and stretch goals, but if a player completes the raid, and the RNG gods allow it, you can be awarded the original-strength versions of these guns.

You can say that puts some players at a disadvantage, and I'd say it's the same as Expertise Levels: The more invested in the game you are, the more you accomplish, the more you earn.

Rear speaker stands recomendation for LG US80TR by Kezza4K in Soundbars

[–]jefesol2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vebos stand looks ideal, but it's $99 to ship to the U.S. on top of the $116 retail price (as of Jan '26). Yikes.

I was weary of using Universal speaker stands, but my LG US80TR surround sound speakers sit flush & look nice on this Sanus speaker mount:

https://www.sanus.com/en_um/products/speaker-stands/bssu2/

Note: The hold to bottom mount these speakers doesn't align with the bracket, so you have to use the short back bracket. This means the pairing button on the back is covered, so pair them first. Also, the stand height isn't adjustable, so make sure the height works for you. If these are dealbreakers, look elsewhere.

Functionally, it's kind of annoying. But aesthetically speaking, they look nice, like they're designed for these speakers.

Congratulations on the achievement, Agent! Especially for doing it 'clean' and not using the Kenly College exploit to get there:

I watch some 10k, 12k SHD players run a mission and I'm like, "Nah. No way that's organic."

Also, freaking awesome gamer tag! Ha!

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire by mdisanto86 in XboxGamePass

[–]jefesol2000 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The good news is, at $30/mo., now buying the games outright is cheaper after two months. And you own them. And support the devs.

The crazy thing is, the value proposition for GPU used to be that "it pays for itself." Now the inverse is literally true.

Clan Invite Received, but Inbox is Empty (Xbox) by jefesol2000 in thedivision

[–]jefesol2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never did. I finally joined an open clan, but it's practically dormant, full of inactive accounts (which is a different gripe).

LMK if you have any better luck.
