Re: !SPOILERS DISCUSSION THREAD! Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
Got to see it finally. It was a good movie. The only thing I didn't like was the kiss. It felt forced. I was getting a more familial vibe from their connection, like they were twins of the force, or whatever. That scene should have been: Smile in realization, call him Ben one last time, Ben dies and vanishes like a Jedi. End scene. There was no reason for them to kiss. Their relationship was close and confusing, but not romantic, and it didn't need to be. AND now he's gone so like... Where is that gonna go now that they've established a romance, it was gone right away, so it's useless as a plot mechanism.
Everything else was great.

I'm so confused as to how their connection could be termed as familial. They've got tons of sexual chemistry--- all of their force Skype sessions have like-- him shirtless, or her dripping wet, or they're trying to hold hands, or they're gritting their teeth while bashing their penis swords at each other. Their chemistry is actually my favorite part of the movies.
Re: !SPOILERS DISCUSSION THREAD! Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
Or even like a romantically-ambiguous kiss on the cheek or something would have been fine, but this was a full on lover's kiss, and it wasn't what those characters were building up to.
Re: !SPOILERS DISCUSSION THREAD! Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
I definitely would have preferred a tearful hug over the kiss. My one "meh" of the movie.
Re: Train Valley
This game looks really fun. I've been looking for a pleasant time-waster.
Brian, you might like another game called ISLANDERS. It's super calming, and can actually be pretty challenging: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046030/ISLANDERS/

Gotta take a pass on coconut, one of my beer kryptonites. While not on the same level as my disdain for smokey, hot pepper, and meat flavors, I’m on restricted coconut intake. 😋
Re: Overclocking a Morphy Richards.
15 years later and the anti-consumer practice of locking kettles continues. I've got a Morphy Richards 43905. Full 360 swivel base, but at merely 2.2 kW it's the Core m3 to @bothered's Athlon 64. I've got 240v of pure power here, and it's not even bothering to use that juice to the maximum.

When did it happen? I didn't notice. Did it happen after Rey healed him?
