| Topic | My Ducts are being cleaned |
| Archgoat 09/28/22 12:53:39 PM #3 | That's what she said. |
| Topic | Thoughts on Hollow Knight... MAYBE SOME SPOILERS... |
| Archgoat 09/27/22 3:24:31 PM #20 | I enjoyed it quite a bit, there is an optional platforming section near the end I could do without ever playing through again though. I personally think there are better modern Metroidvania games, but I am likely in the minority on that opinion. |
| Topic | I made out with my married team lead last night |
| Archgoat 09/23/22 2:50:54 PM #346 | There is nothing justified about cheating. I am sure there are people who have cheated on someone and found the love of their life, or helped them get out of a bad situation. That does not make cheating okay though, cheating is an awful thing you can do to someone else. If you feel the need to cheat, get out of the relationship first. That said, I think the husband here is more in the wrong than the TC. |
| Topic | Favorite voice actors? |
| Archgoat 09/23/22 2:46:32 PM #39 | From audiobooks Steven Pacey is my absolute favorite. I also really like Frank Muller, Andrew Kishino and Michael Kramer. |
| Topic | Do people still like Dave Chappelle? |
| Archgoat 09/21/22 10:07:27 AM #31 | I find him to still be very funny for the most part. He has some controversial material about transgender people, and I think people who call him out on it should have that right too, and many of them make very good points. |
| Topic | I literally own a school bus now |
| Archgoat 09/15/22 10:11:58 AM #3 | Time to get the band together. |
| Topic | Anyone watching House of the Dragon? |
| Archgoat 08/31/22 12:50:44 PM #55 | Blightzkrieg posted... What was Daemon Targaryen's goal last episode? I get that he was bluffing I'm just not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Was he just trolling, or was he somehow hoping to be reinstated as heir? Spoiled royal needs attention. |

| Archgoat 08/26/22 3:30:20 PM #48 | wolfy42 posted... Ahh interesting, and yeah I meant Rhaenyra, and that makes sense that there will be a time skip and an older actress, I felt like there was something missing with her, like she was a place holder or an attempt to meld fans of two previous characters into one or something. In the book she did kind of have a wild streak that reminded me of Arya a little bit. Defitenly some nods towards Dany in the show, I think that is more call backs to the original series though. Hopefully she will stand on her own as the show goes on. I thought she was pretty good in the roll, so hopefully the older version of her will be as well. |
| Topic | Anyone watching House of the Dragon? |
| Archgoat 08/26/22 10:49:13 AM #45 | wolfy42 posted... Also enjoyed it and looking forward to the next episode. Matt was quite good, never liked him as the doctor but he handles this role well. Over all good cast, don't think they are quite hitting the mark with Raenyse or however you spell her name, kinda feel like they are trying to meld Arya with Dayneres, but are just missing something there. Still very promising and she may grow on me as time goes by. I think you are referring to Rhaenyra. I know the names can be confusing, by Rhaenys is the older lady that is married to Corlys (the black guy on the council), also referred to as the queen who never was. Rhaenyra will also be played by another actress as a time skip is going to happen at some point where she will be older. |
| Topic | Watched Jackie Brown |
| Archgoat 08/23/22 11:03:07 AM #8 | I love it, possibly 2nd for me after Pulp Fiction as far as Tarantino films go. It does have some stiff competition though. |
| Topic | Anyone watching House of the Dragon? |
| Archgoat 08/22/22 11:58:39 AM #39 | I thought it was a great premiere. Looking forward to the rest, I enjoyed Fire and Blood as well which this based off of. |
| Topic | Are there any detective shows where the case is the whole season? |
| Archgoat 08/16/22 10:54:05 AM #34 | adding Hap and Leonard to the list. |
| Topic | When was the last time you took a vacation? |
| Archgoat 08/15/22 6:13:45 PM #25 | I went to Ripplefest in Austin last July. I had a full 5 days off work. |

| Archgoat 08/11/22 9:40:55 AM #18 | Grendel_Prime posted... Poltergeist |
| Topic | Netflix is making a Sandman show? |
| Archgoat 08/10/22 12:37:14 PM #23 | Finished the series yesterday. It was fantastic and extremely faithful to the source material. I am hoping this does well with the more casual audiences as I want several more seasons. |
| Topic | Netflix is making a Sandman show? |
| Archgoat 08/08/22 11:25:20 AM #17 | Some people just love to hate. I watched the first 5 episodes and this is a fantastic adaptation so far. |
| Topic | Finally finished the Stand, it is such a great book |
| Archgoat 08/05/22 5:34:04 PM #8 | Great book, but I do think the first half is much better than the back half. Not much of a fan of the ending really. |
| Topic | my boyfriend was living at my house this week |
| Archgoat 08/05/22 4:28:25 PM #188 | This thread got wild. I had to live with an ex for a few months after a fairly nasty breakup and overall toxic relationship and it was pure misery. Hopefully he will leave soon, in the meantime just spend more time at the BFs would be my suggestion. |
| Topic | Netflix is making a Sandman show? |
| Archgoat 08/04/22 10:09:35 AM #12 | I'm looking forward to it. Gaiman seems pretty involved in it. I know it is the internet and people like to hate on everything, even before it is out, but I am a contrarian. |
| Topic | my boyfriend was living at my house this week |
| Archgoat 08/02/22 10:24:07 AM #50 | Why can't the boyfriend stay with you when the roommate is there? I assume the bf would stay in the same room as you? Just too awkward? |
| Topic | How many books have you read this year? |
| Archgoat 08/02/22 10:20:16 AM #19 | I've read 14 books so far this year. That is a very good pace for me, most books I read are fairly long, though I do fit in a few shorter ones. |
| Topic | Nobody looks good with a nose ring |
| Archgoat 08/01/22 12:35:47 PM #19 | Nose rings don't bother me much, it's those big ear gauges that I find very unattractive. In the end what I think doesn't matter though if the person doing it likes it and it makes them happy, more power to them. |
| Topic | I'm learning tarot card reading |
| Archgoat 07/15/22 10:39:53 AM #27 | It's all bullshit. Some tarot decks have really cool artwork though. |
| Topic | Any of you here have watched the new thor movie? |
| Archgoat 07/13/22 9:18:14 AM #22 | I thought it was a pretty fun movie. I don't think it was as good as Ragnarok though. It sounds like Taika would like to do another one and hope that he gets to. |
| Topic | looks like that beer ain't on tap |
| Archgoat 06/25/22 10:13:30 AM #3 | I was just replying on a post of his and it was gone by the time I hit the button to post. Not surprised. |
| Topic | woman have lost control of their own body, roe v wade is overturned |
| Archgoat 06/24/22 12:47:45 PM #57 | Pretty disgusting day for my country and my state (Texas). We seem to be regressing to a theocratic oligarchy. Hope all those cheering this on enjoy the rise in crime over the next few decades. |
| Topic | Steam Summer Sale is on |
| Archgoat 06/24/22 11:55:34 AM #23 | I bought: Gloomhaven Wingspan Unavowed Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous |
| Topic | So Father's Day and Juneteeth both Fall on the same Day... |
| Archgoat 06/21/22 12:43:20 PM #22 | It was pretty well known here in Texas, not surprisingly since it was the day that Texas slaves learned they were free. While it was more a regional thing, I think it is a good idea to have a national holiday based on the ending of slavery in this country. |
| Topic | Sony fanboys are completely twisted over Kojima working with Xbox lmao |
| Archgoat 06/14/22 1:15:14 PM #17 | adjl posted... To be fair, "just spend another $500 on a new system" isn't the most reasonable solution, nor is that readily accessible for many people (especially not for the sake of playing 2-3 games). While being upset that a former or presumed exclusive is getting ported is stupid, being upset that a game you want is unexpectedly exclusive to a system you don't have is pretty understandable, given the rather sizable barrier that presents. There was a time when having every system made a lot of sense because they all had a ton of worthwhile exclusives, but with almost everything being multiplat these days, it's a lot harder to justify spending so much money for such a small handful of exclusives. Is it really that much money though? I get it is not cheap, but people routinely upgrade their very expensive phones every 2 to 3 years. You often hear the Sony fanboys say there is no reason to buy an Xbox because the games are on PC as well, but that is a much more expensive item to acquire (if you want it to play all the games). This Kojima game is coming out probably at least 2 to 3 years from now, if you really are keen to play it I would think you could come up with the money by then. If a console is something you can only afford to buy one of per generation, then maybe it is just best for that person to wait until they can make a more informed decisions after more games are released. |
| Topic | Sony fanboys are completely twisted over Kojima working with Xbox lmao |
| Archgoat 06/14/22 10:53:55 AM #12 | Xbox is killing it this gen. I don't really get the fanboy mentality, just save and buy the other system if it has games you want to play on it. I don't really get the idea that you can only own one system and you need to remain loyal to them. |
| Topic | i saw a Jack White concert the other day |
| Archgoat 06/09/22 5:53:04 PM #18 | DirtBasedSoap posted... did you buy the concert on nugs.net? Im dying for them to upload the show i went to I don't think so, my wife bought the tickets. He played Texas Flood, the Stevie Ray song, which was awesome. |

| Archgoat 06/06/22 1:15:53 PM #16 | I saw him 2 weeks ago, great as always! |
| Topic | Not sure why I didn't like Strang2: Multiverse of Popcorn |
| Archgoat 06/01/22 6:36:15 PM #4 | I thought it was great, but I am a big Evil Dead and Sam Raimi fan. |
| Topic | Great and/or favorite drummer topic |
| Archgoat 05/31/22 5:09:03 PM #37 | Dave Lombardo is my favorite drummer. Someone I think tends to be pretty underrated is Bill Ward. He may not be the most technical, but he has a swing to his drumming that is pretty unique and you can usually tell when another drummer is playing Sabbath songs. |
| Topic | How do yoh rehabilitate a conspiracy theorist? |
| Archgoat 05/18/22 12:58:05 PM #21 | You probably can't, the best you can likely do is to get them to not care about the conspiracies so much. That would be my approach, don't argue the conspiracy with them, ask how it affects them on a day to day basis and if said conspiracy is true, is there anything they can really do to change it. Reinforce that their life may be better if they just try to ignore and enjoy themselves instead of constantly worrying about the conspiracy they believe. Ask them to take a week off from it and see if it improves their mental state. |

| Archgoat 05/10/22 5:59:23 PM #28 | Bruce Campbell is a national treasure. Love him and Sam. I had the opportunity to meet them both a couple years ago and they were both really awesome. |
| Topic | Do you tip when you pick up to go? |
| Archgoat 04/27/22 2:27:36 PM #10 | I tip on take out from a restaurant where I normally would of tipped if I went and sat down and ate, usually getting curbside pickup. I used to tip just a dollar or 2 but I tend to tip between 10-15% now and started doing this during the pandemic. Order at the counter type of places I occasionally tip a dollar or 2 but not always. |
| Topic | Been thinking about my ex. |
| Archgoat 04/06/22 4:52:21 PM #47 | LeetCheet posted... Yeah it's not like women gets less fertile after 30. Who says she wanted children in the first place? Also, plenty of women give birth after 30. Maybe she did want children and decided the TC was not the person to do that with. |
| Topic | Been thinking about my ex. |
| Archgoat 04/06/22 1:10:48 PM #33 | Notschmendrake posted... Eh, dated, modern, these are just words. I'm not sure what you are implying. I will be married 10 years this year, so my current relationship is good, but I definitely had some bad ones in the past. I just thought the way he thought his ex should feel because she was fatter than him is odd. |
| Topic | 4 years sober today |
| Archgoat 04/06/22 12:52:46 PM #11 | Good job. Does that include all drugs, or just alcohol? |
| Topic | It's shocking how badly they fucked up Biggs, Wedge, and Jesse in FF7Remake |
| Archgoat 04/06/22 12:50:01 PM #22 | I love that they got Badger to voice Wedge. I liked the game quite a bit, more than I expected to. |
| Topic | Been thinking about my ex. |
| Archgoat 04/06/22 12:45:15 PM #28 | I feel like you have a very perverse way of thinking about things. Since she was fatter than you she should of been all about you, like physical looks are the most important thing to wanting to be with a person? Also, she should of been trying to lock something down at a certain age? Seems like a very dated way of thinking about relationships. |
| Topic | Do you have a costco membership? |
| Archgoat 03/17/22 4:57:17 PM #18 | Yes, it is worth it for pet supplies alone. I also buy stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent there. |
| Topic | What are some good fantasy series to read? |
| Archgoat 03/17/22 2:51:52 PM #40 | I am going to disagree with the person that said the Wheel of Time is only good for the 1st 4-5 books. In my opinion all books outside of 8-10 are great. Books 8 and 9 are a bit slow but have their moments and book 10 is the only one I don't like. I would say if you don't feel it after book 4 (of course you can quit earlier, I just think that is the point you are either all in or done), then don't continue. I think A Song of Ice and Fire is worth even though the series will likely never be finished. The 1st 3 are so good on their own. It doesn't seem like anyone has recommended Joe Abercrombie's first law series. This is my favorite current author, his books just get better and better with each one. This one is grimdark, but there is a lot of humor. |
