    The Terminal List

    Finished it. Was good, nothing outlandish like whatever Reacher has become. Definitely moved/changed some of the plot from the book, but I think it still hits the major pieces.

    The Terminal List

    He still has brain problems, the second book is about him doing work in exchange for surgery to save him. They’ve moved / changed story elements around from the book (I just looked up a plot summary of the novel to refresh myself). I’m not finished yet, but it’s pretty decent so far.

    The Terminal List

    Season 2 is now out. Just starting it now myself. Read this book a couple of years ago, can't remember much other than the initial terrorist attack myself.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    Blizzard not having a slow does not "ruin" mage AoE. It corrects degenerate mage solo behavior, not group behavior.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    Brother, I absolutely gave myself mouse hand RSI during 2019 Classic from my leveling. I bought a wrist wrap and everything. My hand is still fucked to this day.

    Reacher

    There's so much cover in TV/Film that is completely useless once you've actually shot a gun in real life. Hiding behind a oven might be substantial enough, but outside of like the refrigerant unit of a fridge, that aluminum box ain't stopping shit. I liked the cardboard box that got hit by the...

    If their review is positive (due to graphics) - they're a pro-slop shill If their review is negative (due to performance) - their hardware sucks and they should stop being poor

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I don't disagree with that. I think my fundamental problem with the game was that it didn't fulfill the power fantasy in a way that felt satisfying to me. Helldivers 2 felt like what I would have wanted out of a W40K single character game. I felt strong but also very vulnerable.

    On becoming an electrician

    I'm in the SF East Bay area. As I did more research today, I think I'm actually boned due to my circumstances (sick parents ruling out relocation). IBEW is the nearest to me. WECA is 1.5-2hrs north of me. ABC gets a lot of negative reviews but it's probably all I'm realistically seeing (and...

    On becoming an electrician

    Finally going through this thread. Has been a big motivator to me looking into changing careers over. I'm also just entering my 40s, but watching you do it at the same age is good to see. I also doubt my ability to start out at the local IBEW just based on #s of applicants so I'll probably...

    Crystal Super OLED. It's okay, it's the only headset I've had long term experience with. The lenses definitely have some off central point chromatic aberration and you're still definitely looking though goggles. Really my complaint right now is just the amount of processing power needed to...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Eh, for high res VR, you're really stuck with a 4090, 5080, or 5090. :/ My 4090 is not strong enough to keep my Pimax capped at 90fps without having to resort to somewhat aggressive upscaling.

    I'm 40, I'm completely fucked as I'm in accounting and finance. We're rushing headfirst into hallucinating financials at this point. It's going to destroy a lot of things before people learn this is best left to creative endeavors, not black and white data people rely on.

    And then after we've replaced all of the junior roles are replaced, and it starts replacing the middle experienced users and those that survive age out, who replaces you since we've successfully destroyed the training and experience pipeline?

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War

    The stupid meeting between Jack and Greer in the UK, where Jack goes "Holier than thou" and Greer gives his "I did what had to be done" response. Meanwhile, you find out later that Greer didn't actually do it, he just took the fall for it. So very stupid. Everything these days is written so...

    The Division 2

    Backfire tank build has so far been the most consistent performer for me. And then I try a full dps build and die like an idiot because I'm so used to not using cover and charging in to an easily surrounded position. Full retard brain after playing tank based builds. I do need to get a decent...
