Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

I recently discovered a Reddit group called badreads that compiles (and mocks) some of the worst Goodreads reviews. Gems like trashing Orwell's 1984 because the story was a downer. Or trashing Maya...

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

This episode pretty much went how I thought it would. People may still not have gotten to it so I'll spoiler hide:
Cliffhanger resolved with Peter voted out. And despite the producers' attempts to...

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

While it seems like a reasonable stance by the producers, when you have two people going at it and one is voted out as a Traitor ... it makes the surviving player awfully suspicious as another...

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

The UK series makes it clear that no one stays overnight at the castle ... instead they're carpooled in from a hotel. The US show pretends like they're staying at the castle, but now it's clear...

Re: The VR Gaming Thread (Meta Quest, Vive, PSVR)

I finished Asgard's Wrath. Gameplay was flawless after some adjustments in the game settings (following recommendations by a Reddit post). I don't know if everyone realized that the game is free...

Too bad she's off to burn that notebook. :lol:

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

I just watched the first episode of UK season 1. That opening twist, which wasn't done in either US season, was one of the cruelest things I've seen the producers of a reality tv contest do to its...

Re: The Traitors - Peacock Original reality competition

I've been watching and enjoying the show. Missed hearing about it for season 1, but started watching season 2 (and in between episodes caught up with season 1 as well).

Except for the Survivor...

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

If it was something technical I could've forgotten it. But instead it was seeing that a character was killed at the end of the book.

Re: 2024 - What are your streaming device for movies and television?

I have the Shield too and think it’s great. For most people, who just want to access their streaming services, it’s probably overkill. But for those that want to do something more advanced it’s a...

Re: Clueless, dumb it down for me occulus vs PS5?

You may be misunderstanding that the PS5 doesn't come with VR (that's an extra $550).

But it sounds like a PS5 (without the VR) might be good purchase. As opposed to a VR headset, it'll be easier...
