5 second penalty felt light give he just took a constructor rival out of the points.

Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.

I've heard of the concept in the streaming space of "number of minutes watched", like there's a different way of judging success. This has me wondering if there's a demand from up top to make these shows longer in order to increase that metric. I say this because while slow pacing can be an artistic choice and I'm perfectly fine for it for the right story. I lapped up Oppenheimer, and movies like Only God Forgives.

When it works, it works. Ahsoka felt like it was stretched way out of pace, a 25 minute show elongated into an hour. Every. sentence. was. laborious. and. plodding. when. it. didn't. have. any. reason. to. be. Not to mention the delivery of the lines felt so wooden and forced, and I think if you're going to build around a slow paced story, then you need to lean on the emotion and body language to fill it out. This had none of it.

Couldn't get through the first episode. I got 10 minutes in on my first view and then to about 35 minutes on my second before switching it off. I know nothing of Rebels or the cartoon shows, so these are new characters to me, though I know of Thrawn from the books.

I found the script/acting/pacing awful and the main reason I couldn't watch. The plot was trite and not enough to keep me wanting to watch. Another map hunt for a missing and possibly dead person? Again. Why? If the pacing/script/acting was fun then I'd be fine with just a sci-fi fantasy adventure, but the actors looked like they were working on sleeping medication, it was just painful to witness.

Felt like there were some rumblings of this being a strong tent-pole effort for Star Wars after so many misfires, but I guess unless you're super invested into the greater story then this is not the redemption it was talked up to being.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date

That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.

The only genres I didn't see were romcom and court room drama, though maybe I just missed those with all the quick cuts.

No slight at you, I just saw it in the video and it rubbed me up the wrong way after their last failed promise.

Pre-order now!

Nah, I'm good thanks. Something about lesson learned.

Mostly kept away from news about BG3 story because I'm playing it and don't want to be spoiled. Had no idea that there might be "backlash" against Lae'zel. Though I'm not going to read much stock in an article that's just a bunch of tweets compiled together.

Had plenty of RPG characters not to be to my taste in other games, but my complaints usually only come in if there's too many of them within a single game. I kinda want to know there's a range of characters to explore with, shows breadth. Certainly if it were a full palette of whiny brats then I'd probably bounce off the game.

My only complaint so far (and I know there's been posts in this area) is just how fucking horny people seem to be. I'm trying to buddy up with party members and they're taking it as me coming on to them. I feel like I'm walking on egg shells when picking some responses in fear it'll get me shoved into the sex pen with them. I'm also surprised at how fast relationships develop. I'm still in act one and have had 3 or 4 people in my camp express their wishes to bed me. Dudes, we've just met and yer boi has a fucked up STD like wriggler in my eye.

I want to run videos on a second screen, but occasionally I need to check on a document or webpage so I'd like to quickly ALT+TAB to bring up the browser window and have it sit on top of the video screen, then I can minimize the browser once I'm done and the video is still there playing. (I'm doing this right now in reply to your message).

Think of it as an animated/audio desktop background.

I've found a workaround for now using Enhancer for Youtube's pop-out player.
