    World Cup Thread?

    That explains why our team wants to go home as quickly as possible. Back in Germany we wouldn't even know what to do with this weird beverage. It's some kind of alcoholic drink we guess? But we rather drink be beer so no need for his budweiser stuff

    World Cup Thread?

    Forget about great peril, Germany is done for this world cup. No way they can beat Spain. Winning the cup was out of question from the very beginning, but we at least hoped to see the round of sixteen. Well, maybe in 2026

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I was in touch with our family doctor and he told me that he would not give me the 4th shot because it's recommended to wait 6 month after a covid recovery. Since I want it anyway I'll just wait for the next vaccination bus to stop near by and get one there. They're still a thing and anyone can...

    WotC WotC in a small decline as revenue drops by 16% as Hasbro shares hit a new 52-week low

    In my company there would be outright panic mode and heads would roll.

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Maybe I gave up too early on the Snyder cut, but I don't think I even made it to a full third. I left it behind with the thought that I now fully understand why so much of that stuff was cut out for the first release.

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Absolutely. Strictly speaking about this movie they must figure that after any required future spendings and incomes are counted, the net result after taxes must be less than 21 million dollars to be worth it. If we're looking at the broader picture than Ryujin makes an excellent point about...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Canning a movie as a write-off only makes sense if the company sincerely believes it's returns will be less than the the total write off multiplied by the companies tax-rate. The money saved by the write off is always only a mere fraction of the value that is being written off. WB's tax rate in...

    Black Adam !spoilers tags!

    Just saw it and I must say that I liked it. I heard that it got bad reviews, but I can't confirm them. Sure, it's not an art house master piece but as far as DCU movies go it was certainly one of the better. The story had a few contrived plot points, some more painful (to me) than others. Some...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I am getting my flu shot next week and will use this opportunity to ask for a second booster in middle to late November. Have another vacation planed starting 16th of December and then my first booster will be more than a year ago. Currently that wouldn't matter (as far as travel regulations...

    Just watched Sandman

    I am still believing it was never intended as a comic adaption. Just when they went over the pitch for the "police procedural, but this time starring Satan" someone started about that Gaiman guy and how he already had a series with the premise of Lucifer quitting and going to Earth and just to...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Lately I read about a "black day for the Russian air force" due to four planes being shot down over Ukraine in a single day. Four. During WW2 they'd send out hundreds of planes in a single raid, lost 50 and called it a success. Would any modern nation be able to bear the losses of a full...

    In the MCU, what is a 'god'?

    Whatever the latest movie retcons it to? ;) In movie two he says so. Yet in movie three he had a change of heart and is all "god of this, goddess of that" And in movie 4 Odin is no longer around, but all of sudden having gods is perfectly normal and everybody and their dogs have them and it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we misunderstood the shield and sword fighter (or warrior)?

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    In Germany the official recommendation is to use one of the new vaccines for the first booster (3rd shot). Initial vaccination should still be done with the original vaccines Whether the one developement vs. B.A1 or B.A5 is said to be unimportant. Main mutations vs. older variants are...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e: Stat the Lady of Pain...so we can overthrow her

    He actually has official 3e stats (along with the rest of the cast). There was a rule booklet in the DVD collection that had all their stats Edit: My bad, actually DM is not stated in the booklet. Venger is a CR21 Male half-fiend human sorcerer 13/archmage 5 for what it's worth Actually that...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    It's fortunately entirely gone by now. I can't even pinpoint when it went away. I stopped the cortisone spray after the 3rd day, because I really felt like it made everything worse. Time between coughs became longer and longer until it just went away on it's own. I'll now wait until November or...
