Oh no, not his daughter!

Yeah, so reading the comments about this latest episode, I'm going to reiterate my above post. The problem with this show is they're relying on fans of the IP with easter eggs (see, it's those things you remember!). This does absolutely nothing for someone who doesn't remember or know this shit...

Did my spreadsheet update for the year, and our portfolio went up more this year than our best earning year of actually working. And that's gross, not net. Considering our first year of retirement we saw a 21% drop (YoY, peak to valley was even worse), I'd say things are going amazing. 4 years...

I still haven't watched Squid Games season 2 when I heard they split it up. And then it turns out it sucked. But the reality was season 1 was pretty well self contained and it didn't need a second one.

I think your points really echo the stuff @Fucker said earlier. If this season we're stretched out to a 20 episode season, sure, throw in long dramatic scenes where nothing really happens. The problem is we got 9 episodes and those super long scenes that didn't move the plot forward make the...

That's where my comment about feint attacks probably comes from. Sure, I could memorize every boss and dodge roll at the exact time. I'm having trouble connecting Elden Ring game of the decade/ever doing it, and people throwing Claire Obscur out the window because you had to do a parry QTE.

So I bought it and...it feels terrible? Everything feels super clunky and slow. I'm not particularly far into it, but the combat feels like molasses. The dodge roll seems worthless, so I guess I'm just supposed to strafe run most attacks. It's odd I see so many people complain about Claire...

For some reason Blue Mountain State was the first thing that came to mind when you said this.

This might be why I'm not particularly enjoying it. I played Fallout and Fallout 2 in the 90's and loved them. Played Fallout 3 and 4 on release. Played New Vegas. Played 76. I couldn't tell you a fucking lick of "lore" because it's either been to long or it just wasn't good enough for me to...

This guy doesn't even recognize exceptional TV anymore.

If you're investing with Vanguard, there's basically no difference. The downside to an ETF would generally be you need to buy whole shares, but Vanguard allows fractional ETF shares. It's basically whether you care to be able to trade during the day or if you don't care if it's after close.

In power armor, yeah. In regular hand to hand combat he got the shit kicked out of him. He was basically the most pathetic person there. And based on what's happened in the show, I can't imagine more than even a month has passed total.

I feel like I missed a training montage or something, because like 2 weeks before that scene, Maximus was a pathetic squire who all the other squires beat the shit out of, but now he's overpowering men almost twice his size and armed.

I've been putting off buying Elden Ring for years. It's on sale a decent amount right now and I'm tempted to buy it, but I feel like I'm going to end up like you and it's just...not for me.
