I went through a period of dating a girl somewhat like this. The age difference was not as great nor were the political differences but she was fresh out of college, short hair, smoked, followed a concert tour around for a year, worked at Applebees (Psych major) vs. me in my late 20s, military...

FYI the Unity course is on sale again for $11. I've been thinking about learning a little about Unity to do some dabbling on the side but everything I've ever heard about the gaming industry is that it sucks ass to be in it.

If you're already friendly, why just use an incremental approach? End of day: "Damn, I'm starving. Want to go grab some tacos at my favorite restaurant, 'Chupa mi pito'? It's Margarita night." It's informal and spontaneous and doesn't come off as a date, per se. If she passes, no big deal...

Gonna need a broader shot to put this into perspective.

My oldest kid's gaming laptop is about to give up the ghost after 5 years and the youngest would like to get his first. I'd buy desktops but they like to take them to friends or on the road when we travel. It's also nice to be able to put them away when not in use. Is Lenovo reliable? They...

I ended up buying this. Interesting story and a few nice improvements but some of these missions are hard as a wedding dick.

Posted in the Civ VI thread as well. Looking at buying this full price. Should I start with a mod or play through vanillas first?

How is this game doing these days? I used to play a fair amount but I was never very good. About 6 months ago, I had some connection issues one night and ended up dropping some games and got placed in low-priority. Whatever the number was, I think I had to win 5 low priority games and I won...

So I have some gaming time this weekend and I was thinking about picking up a strategy game. Looking at XCom and Civ VI. I've played and enjoyed the predecessors of both. Any suggestions? My fear on XCom is that everyone complains about the timed missions and I hated those earlier and more...

Point taken.

Never put them away wet.

She looks like we was rode hard and put away wet.

Sounds like your sister is in the other 50%. Seriously, though, the saying "If you are not a liberal at 25, you have not heart. If you are not a conservative at 35, you have no brain." applies. I think this is on overstatement because there are obviously liberals who are educated and have a...

You can't assume millennials will all vote blue in 10 years. Once 50% of them get a job that doesn't involve an espresso machine, move out of their parents' basements and start paying bills, they will decide it's kind of nice to hold onto more of the money they worked hard for.

I'm curious why none of them are moving to Mexico, what with the warm climate and nice beaches and all.

I did eventually get one game in and had a pretty good time with it. It felt a little clunky to me just because I have not played anything in the series for a while and the interface, maps, weapons, etc. will take some time to get used to. I didn't play a lot because I need my beauty rest...

PSN is down. I am now 0 for 3 trying to play this fucking game since I bought it Friday.

0. Here, I made a map.

Only had time to play Saturday night or Sunday morning over the weekend. Servers down in both windows...

This is probably a day 1 purchase for me.

Yeah, I decided to go BF1. My kid whi has been lobbying for TF2 is not happy with me. I told him to ask Santa. Maybe Santa gets a discount. Meanwhile the Civ6 reviews are dropping so glad I chose what I did.

Not sure if this ever got posted here, maybe?

The reviews of TF2 are really positive too. I might have to flip a coin. I can't see buying both BF1 and TF2 at full price.

This thing going to be on the PS store tonight at midnight? I'm trying to decide whether to buy this, BF1 or Civ 6 for some weekend gaming. BF1 seems to be getting some pretty positive reviews but I enjoyed the TF2 beta.

But what if I wake up and my wife is giving me a blowjob. Is that a push?

Grabbing them by the pussy is only assault if they don't like it. Otherwise it's a friendly gesture.

I have a really hard time laying down cash on a table game or burning it in a slot. Every now and then I'll throw $20-40 bucks in a slot for shits and giggles but I can't do any of that shit for long. I do really enjoy poker tournaments. You have a fixed cost to get in and if you play right...

We've done Spring Break in Perdido Key a couple of times and really like it.

You didn't mention anything about marriage. It seems really important early in the game but it seems to have minimal effect, other than right to rule? I'm playing Floris Expanded. I don't know how many hours I've logged recently since it uses a non-Steam launcher but it has been a shitload...

I think "no" but will dutifully vote for Trump in Michigan. Although I think he is a rather poor candidate overall, I like it that he is an outsider and gives almost zero fucks about the establishment. At least he understands business and hiring good people. MSM is completely against him...

So, when you guys say you do a playthrough, do you play until complete world domination? What is the end? I revolted against my king a few game weeks ago and now have two cities, about 4 castles, about half a dozen vassals. I have an experienced cavalry and I'm rolling through every thing I...

I've started Warband up again with the Floris Expanded mod. It unfucks tournaments and adds a lot of economic features and other conveniences. The game is so good and yet there are just a few aspects that just are just inexplicably bad, most of it in the UI, but the quests, death...

We have already decoded their instructions and are building a primary and backup system. Jodie Foster is standing by. Edit: SETI is downplaying it. http://www.seti.org/seti-institute/a-seti-signal The chance that this is truly a signal from extraterrestrials is not terribly promising, and...

Thanks guys. I'll look into all of those. I was already familiar with BNR. Noodle, I have not been reading this thread. What's the TLDR on why you're changing jobs?

I've spent most of my career performing or managing other people performing embedded development using C. In the past few years that's expanded to include desktop development C#/.NET/Ruby and now I'm working on a relatively straight forward Android project in Java. What are the go-to resources...

By the way, for those who didn't watch the video that was linked a couple of pages back, Angry Joe's review is a great synopsis of what is good (mostly in the beginning few hours), how we were misled (with evidence), and what is completely annoying. Very entertaining and worth a watch.

There was technically never a Battlefield 1. The first in the series was Battlefield 1942. As to why they decided to restart at 1, no idea other than it is based in WW1, which is a first for the franchise.

Really enjoyed the first few hours but it became not very compelling very quickly. I hate myself for buying it. I hope they add a bunch of shit.

Maybe. I have owned almost every game in the BF franchise since inception, including playtesting the original beta, but I have not purchased their last two offerings, Hardline and Battlefront (if you count that). I thought those two were shit. Hopefully BF1 will deliver. I've not been...

I had never played TF but I had fun with the tech demo. For me, it was more enjoyable than CoD, at least for the few hours I played. Going to be an interesting choice between TF2 and BF1.
