It went down for six minutes at around 10AM, just long enough for me to call the guys at work and get them to run some tests before it came back on by itself, making me look stupid.

At least it’s back.

For now.

so ive seen some people talking about the Lilo and Stitch live action.

this is saying a lot for the slop disneys produced but this may actually be the worst remake theyve made. love that lilo gets put in custody so nani can go to college. love that jumba is actually the villain. no gantu. and this is how i found out the OG Jumba VA died some time ago. :pray: we are truly THRIVING.

Disney Live action remakes went from borderline experimental with the Jungle Book to “we have to do them all or my OCD kicks in” real fast.

It’s sad because the originals absolutely do hold up, and the rate Disney pump out these live-action remakes feels like they’re almost ashamed of their legacy. You telling me a 5 year-old wouldn’t enjoy the original Beauty & the Beast over the live-action? Pshaw.

This is absolutely messed up and feels like it missed so much of the important beats of the original Lilo & Stitch that I’m beginning to wonder if they even watched it? In what dimension does Nani give up Lilo, after they traumatically lost their parents? For a film with a message about the beauty of found family, that seems to really go against the point? Eugh.

The comments I’ve seen from people who actually understand the film, themes and subtext etc have me genuinely wishing for the Great Capitalist Structures (on which the likes of Disney sit like bloated Old Gods) would crash and burn for good. Cos this stuff heinous.

Absolutely wish I could get through normies heads WHY this stuff is bad and they should stop supporting or watching or buying the ‘content’, but… yeah. Might as well shout at the sea or something ._.

On top of that they made sure to wash out any and all mentions of how native hawaiians were treated by Americans and tourists. Theyve basically washed out everything that made the OG such a standout. Frankly im glad its a bomb because i do not want to see how theyd mishandle the plot of the second animated film.

Shut down the laptop last night. Booted it up today and it was like “LOL PROFILE CORRUPT BYE EVERYTHING!” so I tried fixing it… To no avail… Security wouldn’t open. Feared the worst. Rebooted it.

Laptop laughed like “What issues? I’m perfectly fine!”

I swear.

This is basically the rage-inducing issue I’m having sometimes with my SSD with WoW on it…

lolCrash
LmaoWon’t read the E drive at all
Restart
RoflSSD is not even showing up
Shut down
Power up
Whatchu talkin’ about Willis, drive is right here?

I swear to god… The worst part? I have NO idea what might be causing it. There’s no obvious temperature issues, it seems improbably (though not impossible) for WoW alone to crash an SSD so hard it needs a reboot, the seating seems sturdy (I do need to remember to un-seat and re-seat it to rule that out…)

And it’s so inconsistent? The past few nights I’ve played for hours and its done nothing.
Some days I RP for about 45 minutes and it just LolNope’s out of there…

while im on a peeve spree.
gotten an itch to play ratchet and clank again and just…they made the entire Sly series and Jak series buyable on PSN but not R&C? you can only stream them from a PSN sub at a certain level. I still have my ps2 and OG 1, Going Commando, Up your Arsenal, Deadlocked and Size Matters but the fact you can only temporarily get access to the ps3 games is gross. Just make the collection buyable ffs

edit: while on the topic. Deadlocked had an absolutely cracked OST few of the games since have been able to match and I will die on that hill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgJk2SvPuH4

Final Fantasy 17 needs to take a cue from Expedition 33 by having its chocobo also be fat, silly, and French.

Now dont be hasty master meriadoc…

Don’t be me and forget to put Divine Hammer on your actionbar… i was lagging behind in dps for the longest time and could’t figure out why… until I did :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m reminded of that old Dexter’s Lab episode now where his dad constantly tries to take him fishing, only to dejectedly admit defeat every time he is beaten there by another dad and his son.

Think I may be getting sick :pensive:

Stop that!!

(Get well soon if so)

So, a D&D peeve. I concur with Rich Burlew: true resurrection is a spell that shouldn’t exist, as it’s almost always possible to resurrect party members and plot-important NPCs with a regular resurrection (or even raise dead or revivify). The only point of true resurrection is to let the DM undo the deaths of NPCs that they absolutely want alive, come fire or water, and there is nothing the players can do to prevent this short of binding the dead person’s soul, which is considered evil.

That man really loves cows feet.

Though at least he isn’t overly dramatic about everything. Yeah, that stones big he says, then carries on.
