Oppenheimer - Review Thread

I did a Mission Impossible review thread previously and was using the same template I made, Please refresh. I believe I fixed this now. Sorry about that! One guy doing this by hand

EDIT: Realizing how different instances might update at different times. Will try to be more careful about this in the future. Definitely a learning experience

BattleBit Remastered is dominating Steam because there's no catch: it's just a lot of game for $15

Reply in thread

I personally feel like the “no-microtransactions” label is still accurate despite these inclusions. It’s free to link your twitch to your battlebit account and watch some streams for the drops if you really want the purple skins.

The supporter pack is really just some skins to say thanks to anybody who wants to throw some extra money to the developers. The game already has a really low cost of entry anyway so I see no issue with this.

With you not being able to pick up weapons off the ground, I’ll be honest I haven’t really noticed the skins that anybody else has. Seems to really just be for you and you alone.

WONKA | Official Trailer

Reply in thread

What got me was the accent he is using. It seems to keep switching all depending on the dialogue he is giving, which I found kind of distracting but maybe it’ll be better in the actual film? Who knows, I do think he is a talented actor and I really loved the first two Paddington movies so maybe this will turn out.

Finding the right gaming chair

I’d recommend looking for a used Herman Miller Aeron. They are super comfortable, offer fantastic back support and many businesses buy a bunch of them up and eventually sell them so you can find some pretty sweet deals instead of the $1400+ USD they are to get them new.

I think I paid $500 for a used one that was in excellent shape. It’s a chair that’s been around for a long time so aftermarket parts are easy to come buy if you ever need them. I swapped out the wheels on mine for roller blade wheels and couldn’t be happier.

Kbin: What is your favourite (or least favourite) horror film?

Reply in thread

Man I’m really happy you enjoyed Skinamarink. I heard the buzz about it and the fear that it instilled in some so I gave it a shot as it sounded really interesting and unfortunately I just couldn’t get into it. Perhaps I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind but I really wanted to be transported back to that fear of the unknown when you were a kid but it didn’t give me that and I really wasn’t into it enough to finish it. Happy for the filmmakers though and I look forward to what they do next.

Odyssey Espresso Argos

Reply in thread

Keurigs are made for convenient filter coffee while the Argos is made for espresso. I believe Keurig has “espresso blends” but the machine isn’t capable of creating the pressure needed for true espresso so what you get is just a stronger tasting filter coffee.
