    I highly doubt that will be fast. It will also have terrible latency. Starlink is really for providing basic internet to people with no current options. It will suck for us normals used to existing internet.

    That's what my posse and I played on. To this day thinking about the, TRIBALISTAS, a Brazillian clan boils my blood. The experience was super hardcore and all consuming, but damn was it good. It had that same gratification as EQ with the game being extremely difficult, time consuming, and soul...

    Ark is some special ass shit. I accrued 650 hours in it, in under 6 months. The game is all consuming on an MMORPG level.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    What I dont understand about the patch size is almost all the content is just chopping up different chunks of the Verdansk map. We should already have all the assets locally. And it could just be me, but I think they nerfed RPG's, I've got the splash X for indirect hits a bunch, but only a...

    Car ?'s

    Hyundai/Kia are not the crap cars they were 20 yrs ago. Girlfriend has a 2012 Accent she got used with 35k on it, has put another 100k on it with only minimal maintenance. And from being underneath it I can vouch for the quality of materials and coatings. We're in New England and there is...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    I miss destructible environments for sure, but I've actually come to like the much more limited vehicles. BF has done such a shit job of balancing vehicles its nice to have a heavy infantry focus. And credit where credit is due, the impacts unlocks have on the behavior of guns in COD is...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    Yup, after playing some Warzone for free I was motivated to buy the full game. As a Battlefield purist for 15yrs Ground War fullfills that need perfectly.

    They need to normalize experience gain. I play Warzone or Ground War and the experience is so slow. This past weekend i ground a few guns in Shipment 24/7 and now I get how people max stuff.

    Credit from nothing

    If you intend to actually finance a car absolutely do not do this. If you can pay it off in full, why not? Finagle the best sales price, with the premise of signing a 90 month loan. Then pay it off in a lump sum. The only caveat is making sure there aren't any early pay off limitations.

    Credit from nothing

    Fucking DONT DO THIS!! If you can afford the car outright, buy it with financing and then pay it off. You can avoid interest, but still have an open and closed account in good standing for a significant amount of money depending on the car value. Hell, you might even save money. Dealerships make...

    Yeah, I'm not advocating for you to open 20 credit cards. I have 5 big bank cashback credit cards, 3 store cards, and a card from my credit union.

    Credit from nothing

    I see you guys talking about Points and Miles, if I cared and focused I'm sure I'd get a better return with those. Personally I am all about cashback cards. In the past 10 years I've probably accrued 5k in cashback across numerous cards, all with 0% APR. Every 15-18 months I sign up for a new...

    On a 460,000 house with 5% down, the PMI is on 437,000, at .5% that's 182 per month.

    I can't imagine you'll see rates much lower than they currently are. So if you do fixed, you've locked that in for 30yrs. Versus ARM with little chance of the rate adjusting down, and all the likelihood of it going up. No PMI is definitely nice, but would you be putting that PMI money into...

    Really illustrates how shit EA is with Battlefield the way Infinity Ward has gone about getting the cheating issue under control. This is my first COD game and its gonna be hard to go back to BF the way things are going.

    Generation Kill

    I agree, I think BoB and WWII media in general gets to coast on the black and white nature of that war. The Axis was pure evil and needed to be stopped at all costs, total war. The difficult nature of Iraq 2 and the idea of invading followed by nation building is so much more nuanced. The...

    When I first played DH with that card I was only using it on minions, because there's no way they would let it hit face, until I played the mirror and they went to face with it. HOLY SHIT that card is stupid.

    And that really becomes the big issue. As manufacturing has gone overseas and been replaced by service jobs the question of essential versus non-essential really highlights how superfluous a lot of American jobs are.

    That is NEW claims per week. A single week spike isnt important, its the area under the graph that matters. If you look at the 2008 recession there were many weeks over 400-500k for a sustained period. We need to watch this over the next few weeks to see the real scale. That initial super spike...

    If Battlefield did a fleshed out BR in modern world with destructability it would be awesome, but for now, Firestorm ain't it dog. It felt like too much of an afterthought and they've done dick to support it since first launched.

    Opinions on the Schiit Fulla vs the Magni/Modi stack? I'm running Sennheiser 598 Opens, feel like the MM combo would be overkill unless I moved up to 600 series Sennheiser's.
