    Choo choo! All aboard the Complain Train!

    I've already covered my disdain for using IM or Team Chats for professional communication, but I think the universe is intentionally fucking with me now. I always leave myself set to offline to discourage people from "chatting" in lieu of sending a properly documented, easily referenced emails...

    Pedantry. I didn't suggest John Wick was the "first" or a "unique" revenge flick. Simply that enough have come in its wake that comparison to the franchise is apropos given how wide an audience it has reached, i.e.: mostly everyone has seen John Wick; I've never even heard of Ninja 2: Shadow Of...

    I meant insofar as it is yet another satisfying revenge porn film.

    Out of Context Quotes

    "If you're a comedian, and you want to make a person laugh, you dress up a man as an old lady, and push him down some stairs. If you want to make a comedian laugh, use a real old lady."

    Monkey Man: Good / Great An unassuming man finesses his way into the inner circles of a crime syndicate to ultimately avenge the death of his mother. Basically John Wick, but set in India. I get the strong feeling there are some cultural implications that might have gotten over my head, but...

    I wouldn't say it avoided the concept; it's was pretty much the premise. The men who came into her life saw an opportunity to take advantage of a a woman who's effectively a clueless nymphomaniac. Where the tide turns is as she develops, she begins to view personal relationships through a very...

    3 Body Problem: S1:Ep. 1-3 *sigh* / Great Scientists around the planet find themselves in individual intellectual crises of faith (read THAT again,) oft leading to abandonment of career or suicide, as a supplanting of the fundamental laws of physics turn our entire scientific understanding on...

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    "AHKCHOOLLY" (lol) I'm strictly devil's advocating here, but repeated bosses/reused assets aren't always a bad thing. You could easily argue that it makes sense. I'll use the infamous Asylum/Stray/Firesage Demon complaint. Yes, we can throw the dev laziness out there, but in reality, it makes...

    Oh, I've already got Fextralife in my bookmarks; I'm complaining mostly about videos that call themselves "walkthroughs," then it's just some dude silently wandering around an empty/looted dungeon who stops at an empty corpse while text pops up to indicate *this* is where you'll find a Grave...

    Shower Thoughts MK2

    I'd saying the only difference would intensity of intent. When I "look at" something, my eyes can easily drift to something else without the slightest thought, but if I'm "watching" something, I am focused and fixated on it specifically. That said, I think Thaluikhain makes a good point...

    No sarcasm. I'm not a huge sweet eater, neither a strong affinity for donuts, but when the craving hits me, none have sated it better than a fresh, warm plain KK donut. Closest being a small bakery in my home town of Columbus, OH called Resch's Bakery; they're already famous for pretty much...
