  1. So, in my merry world of fake amps, my audio interface just added a free version of STL AmpHub, which includes two shitty guitar amp sims and one 5150 v3. It's very very good.
  2. Except she's a true believer. She would never do anything to consciously harm the Empire. As for it being a risk, remember my previous comment about competence? You have already put more thought into where she goes than the Empire did. As for the author, there's poetic symmetry.
  3. I would get drunker with my parents than I would on my own because (1) they were well off and could afford the good stuff and (2) they knew exactly which ones to get that were the best. Like not just this brand of zin, but this brand's particular years and vineyard because that was the one the mom owned rather than the sons, shit like that. I liked even modest zins, but those were *amazing*. In their later years, Dad stopped drinking and Mom started insisting on the cheap stuff because she was falling into alcoholism. That... was less fun. Now I can't hardly drink at all; I love the taste, but even one beer, and I basically feel sick the whole next day, like a clockwork orange witnessing a fight.
  4. And how is that information going to be (1) believed and (2) escape, when for almost everyone on Narkina it's a death sentence? She is too busy building pieces of the Death Star (the second one by that point) to discuss things. She's as good as dead from the Empire's POV, and her health and obedience are being put to good service. (And likely, given her personality, WHY would she snitch? In her mind, she is wronged for letting information get out; in her own mind, telling people things NOW would no longer make her imprisonment unjust? Granted, that's not the Empire's concern, it's hers.)
  5. 100% agreed. They got popular to brew because apparently they're easy to brew, and can be made with higher alcohol content. There's starting to be a backlash against them, though, in popular tastes, and not a moment too soon. Similar thing happened with zinfandels back in the day. But I actually really loved zins. Now it's all Red Blends. But the appeal of the Red Blend is how cheap it is to get a good wine; I saw a fuckin $100 bottle at Costco a couple days ago. For $100, I expect a damn good single variety, not this blended shit. That's like the folks who drink Johnnie Walker Blue, man. Blends are supposed to be tasty cheap things, not 3 figs a fifth!
  6. Mostly because I thought Jesus drove a Honda, even though he didn't talk about it. "For I did not speak of my own Accord"
  7. me too, Bruce. me too
  8. One of the themes of the show is how the Imperials who show initiative, concern, excellence, a true desire to Make the Galaxy Great Again are the ones who get crushed under its heel as if they themselves were Rebels. Syril, Dedra, Partagaz... crushed. You even see competence from Syril's corporate boss way back earlier... also crushed. Krennic built the fucking Death Star ... how did that end for him? The mediocre, the ones who don't care, are the ones who survive, guys like Lagret.
  9. Yeah, if you're enjoying it by this point, you're in for a real treat once it starts getting good.
  10. They DID mention Orangebloods. God only knows what idiocy Ketch is peddling over there. I don't.
  11. you do realize you're in a star wars thread, right
  12. The Acolyte accepts your challenge.
  13. should've been game over right there... now... will we even finish?
  14. who is this guy finishing the game? he sucks
  15. i really miss that guy phxhorn was great
  16. Episode 1 isn't even the worst movie in the prequel trilogy, and Episode 8 isn't even the worst movie in the sequel trilogy, so... don't try to accuse someone else of helobious while doing a helobious of your own. 🤣
  17. iykyk
  18. i love being in the al west
