As always... I can't get enough of women making themselves look foolish for everyone to see (of course with "The View" being a never-ending goldmine of material)....it never gets old

It would be funny to see women try to get along and survive in a world where men either disappeared or just stopped caring at all about anything.  See what happens when the majority of police, fire departments and armed forces suddenly were to vanish from the world....along with construction/electricians and carpentry, pest control, engineering, tech industry and whatever else helped build the comforts of modern 1st world society that most apparently take for granted.

that's strange----it's not like JLo needs digital/AI "help".....her body is already incredible by default.

...reminds me though---there is a "Celebrity Butts" subreddit; yep I go there on a regular basis... it's a good steady source of "material".

Oh yeah I'm looking forward to that with Baldur's Gate.....

I finally got to the point where the mystery of "Dark Urge" is revealed (act 3).  The downside here for me is that the air of mystery in a story always makes things more interesting, imo... I suppose the player's imagination can still always just fill in the blanks or pretend it's something else going on with your character's backstory.

On another character that's STILL in the Underdark of act 1(!)... I ran into some other robot "Bernard" apparently powered by magical energy that spoke in poems or literature references, something like that... for some reason it started a fight so of course....had to kill them.  Forcing some big fall-damage via "repelling" Eldritch Blast is always satisfying... in the combat log it showed it took 29 bludgeoning damage from the fall....heh, of course it didn't survive that....it was quite a long way down for that bot.  The other "animated armor" enemies in the area were light work in comparison; they had no chance.

More of Megan...

I'm still laughing about that clip where the fat guy that tried shooting that dude in the truck later got popped into the air by that same dude in the truck; I saved the clip of course just in case it ever got taken down.

Centuries later (assuming USA and English still exists), the name "Matt Booty" would still be funny.

Imagine the teachers having to do the roll call and seeing that name the first time when he was a kid...

"and.... uh... BOOTY, Matthew?  Is that right?  Matt.... Booty...?" <---you know damn well the whole class probably cracked up laughing as the teacher also tried to resist the urge to laugh at the name.

I mentioned here it before, I think but I remember a guy that was in my old school marching band that has the last name "Faggett".  I'd argue that's even worse than having "Booty" as the family name.

another huge VTM lore vid I was watching recently; over an hour about one of the coolest clans ---- Tzimisce (They're known to represent shapeshifting/ flesh-sculpting body-horror x100000, basically)...

Fallout 76 was the gift that kept on giving the comedy gold--- I vaguely remember there was a helmet with a special edition.....and some of the helmets had MOLD 🤣 it's like nothing could go right....

*quick internet search---yep https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/24/20881720/fallout-76-gamestop-helmet-recall-mold

Desy G. just posted a goddamn legend

I was never a Fallout fan, but it was fun to laugh at the absolute disaster that F76 was.  I remember *trying* to get into it with part 3 or 4 but that world just wasn't quite grabbing my interest like the Elder Scrolls world/lore does.

Baldur's Gate----man.... the reaction of Raphael when your character mentions "I'll control the Crown for myself..."...it's like he did the J. Jonah Jameson meme for real:

...after he recovers from laughing at you then he's like "Oh...oh you're serious?!"

EDIT----ohhhh the plot thickens once again... yet another variable to think about in terms of my character's allegiance....

Yeah Ghostbusters is the other big one that comes to mind when I think of that year..  

...so this episode of The Unbelievable on History just now covered "Smell-O-Vision"... I vaguely remember hearing about that before but didn't give it much thought as a kid...I think I just wrote it off as a joke reference or something but yeah it was real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision

Imagine if they debuted this concept with a nasty comedy film...... filled with toilet humor....then you'd have scenes of a character farting or dropping a huge shitpile, and the audience would actually be smelling that for real!  Drop some puke scenes in there for good measure and let the audience catch a whiff of that.  

Oh yeah, the lovely Minthara has been part of my crew for a while now, on the character I have in Act 3.  The damage she dishes out can be pretty insane; paladin smite attacks for days....and I also have her wielding a legendary mace called Blood of Lathander so that's been a factor as well.  She's also a strong natural counter to any undead thanks to all this "radiant" damage.  

Well, today's an anniversary for Friday the 13th...  part 4, which happens to be my favorite in the franchise is 40 years old now:

The top ranks for me in that are part 4 and 6 "Jason Lives".  Part 7 is up there as well for me; that was the one with the blonde psychic girl as the main character.

'84 also being the legendary year that gave us The Terminator as well... that's really the main film that comes to mind when I think of that year.

Oh... I guess I might go back... after that was over I didn't even bother... but I'm still in the general area.  Currently though this warlock main character I was playing has the staff that gives "lightning charges" (a reward from another quest)... it's been so good since the charges occasionally add that little extra lightning damage to your attacks....so my Eldritch Blast could potentially hit them up with force, necrotic from Hex, psychic (illithid "psionic overload" power) and lightning all at once....

Later on, I finally ran into "Omeluum", an interesting character I was looking for since I knew he was somewhere in the Underdark.  Now I'm regretting the fact that this was a thing I spoiled for myself in researching some things...I could imagine it being a shock not being aware of that character and suddenly he appears out of nowhere as you're talking to this other dude.

Vee got some time with that new Rogue Prince of Persia game

Baldur's Gate---so I fought this robot called "Grym"... it's such a ridiculous character and fight... but easily beatable via a gimmick of pushing a lever so a giant hammer device smashes down, crushing him for 150 damage a hit....he has "only" 300 so once he gets smacked 2 times with that it's done.  However... the crazy thing is that he's borderline invincible to everything unless you make sure the lava is still in the area so he's "superheated" and as a result... vulnerable....otherwise he's super-resistant or flat out immune to about every form of damage.  Even with the gimmick I still just barely made it through that nonsense.  This is worth it though, because you get 875 exp for killing it.  He summons those little demons called "mephit" as well so that's even more exp.... my warlock already had "haste" cast on him by Gale so all of those little guys were easily destroyed by my 2 actions = 4 Eldritch Blast beams...they didn't even get a chance to fly over and do anything.

oh yes, I can't get enough of anything that shines a spotlight on that worthless shit-hole city Memphis, TN

The intriguing thing is the level of coping I've seen from people I know there...I think it runs at such a deep subconscious level they aren't really aware that's what it likely is, to be so proud of what is obviously a shitty place filled with horrible, untrustworthy and outright dangerous people everywhere....similar to how an abused spouse would be so proud and may even get defensive over the "loving partner" that occasionally beats their ass.

...with the Infinity Gauntlet powers, yep, this city would be on the list of things I'd magically erase from the universe.....and then I'd sit there with the same smile of satisfaction, that I did a great thing....like wiping a bad stain off the country.

Of all the "origin" characters in Baldur's Gate 3... so far Astarion has been my favorite; whenever I get around to that playing as an origin character that isn't "Dark Urge", Astarion is the choice... then perhaps Gale would be after that.  

Yeah, I can see that my total playtime for this game is going to be almost on par with my Diablo addiction.  I'm already close to 200 or so hours, I think... the ps5 and pc versions combined....usually on my Steam Deck adventures at work lunch hours, or wherever else away from home... and on the ps5 at home.

There was a thread on the subreddit about least used characters... and so far for me it's Halsin.  On each of my main characters, that guy just gets murdered every time, since I'm always  picking "raiding the grove" in act 1.  He never gets to even say or do anything---he's just another victim in my adventures.... there's also Wyll until a recent character; I had him in the party *until* that point where we raided the grove....and of course he wasn't cool with that and immediately became an enemy we had to kill.  ha, good times, this game.

So many odd dreams lately... so the other night it was a dream about vacationing on other planets being a normal thing... then last night I dreamed that the "penny-farthing" or "high-wheel" bike was back in style for some reason, and I had one.  I've never even given that much thought since first learning about them as a little kid... those were the bikes from a long time ago with the super-large/tall front wheel.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny-farthing

In the dream, I was stressing out about where I could safely park the thing when I went to stores or wherever I was headed....kinda regretting my purchase and wishing I went with a normal-sized bike instead....it also seemed awkward in comparison to normal bikes.  That's the other thing---I haven't even ridden a bicycle since I was a kid.... I had a black/grey Huffy-brand one that had the "dirt-bike" look that was so cool at the time.

That other dream about being on another planet though--- yeah, aliens were also involved, of course... it was a normal thing to also consider the customs and laws and what's "acceptable" with the native people of whatever world you were visiting.

I wish my friend wasn't so slow with progressing certain games---I can already tell that it might be years before he gets around to the same point I'm at now with BG3 so we can discuss some things...especially since he probably isn't going full on evil mode (or at least "morally questionable/grey") like I tend to do with my characters 99% of the time when I have the choice.  I'd like to hear which route he'd take his character when at the same crossroads point of the story...

spoiler-rambling of course, as I've reached some pretty major points in the main story now...

oh that reminds me---that one fatass dude in SFV... I remember now... Rufus was memorable in just how generally ugly and unappealing that character was....like goddamn I had never seen anything that repulsive at the time in terms of character design.  Yeah there's the occasional goofy joke characters, especially in fighting games....and then there's straight up rancid dogshit designs like that piggy-piggy "My 600 lbs. Life" lookin' dude Rufus.  It's one of the worst I've ever seen, seriously.  

*oh it just hit me----imagine when modders put Lady Dimetrescu's big fine ass into Stellar Blade

It's really annoying how goddamn shitty Microsoft generally is.  It makes things annoying and more difficult than they should be when part of your job involves using these shoddily mammy-made half-ass bullshit like MS Teams and the "Office" garbage ass apps.  ...little shit like why am I having to wait 38 years for a goddamn word to appear on the screen after I typed it?  Or the icon shows up like things are fine but the app window itself isn't there and it is not minimized, etc. etc.  Maybe if the IT industry wasn't apparently run by actual retards and trolls then the shit would function properly more often.  Silly of me to expect things to work properly, I guess.

ha, mannnn this argument will never end... the mention of MK girls did remind me though of just how ugly the new Tanya is; even amongst that cast she stands out in a bad way to me... that was quite a shame there considering how she and the other ones looked previously.  Sure, eye-candy is not the only thing of importance, but it's a nice side bonus in the mix, and I don't see the point in reducing or removing that.

We need MS to hurry up and reveal more of the new Fable so that could be the next trash-fire for everyone to argue and/or laugh about 😆  I imagine that should be a good one for sure.  If they keep things more or less the same---at the very least in Fable you could choose whether that main character is a dude or a woman (in current era I'm sure it will formally be referred to as "Body type 1" or "Body type 2", of course), so there's that option in the mix.
