    This is what the people like "LOLevacuate" don't understand. The floods affect a population of 6-7million. Not every last house was affected, but every area had issues. So what happens when you put 6+ million people on a freeway out of town pronto? ~100 people died, and that is when the storm...

    It's a bad situation and that's putting it lightly. Houses in some areas flooded so badly last night that people were trapped on their roof or in their attic. It's still raining now, and it's supposed to rain consistently for another 2-3 days. I guarantee people are dead. Many friends are...

    I don't know what you were reading, because Rockport got fucking storm-raped. Gusts up to 160mph recorded. Death toll is none to minimal because it got mandatory evac'd. Houston was mostly spared from the initial hit besides heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes; even that sucks balls for the...

    "I've got pics of her, fully clothed, that I can post w/o the face" is an accurate description. You coy bastard.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Making physical threats isn't the answer, no doubt. That can't happen and she's right to say she won't tolerate it. But if she isn't looking in the mirror and asking herself some serious questions about her behavior, then she's missing an important lesson here. She flipped out so hard over a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That sucks. For both of you, really. Sounds like you hit a breaking point with her flipping out over little things. Still, you can't tell your wife that. If it starts getting brought up repeatedly, you should suggest a counselor. You don't want every argument to devolve into her holding a low...

    The Beer Thread

    Wild ale describes anything spontaneously fermented (fermented by environmental yeast as opposed to adding a specifically cultured brewing yeast). So yeah, you could call an American wild ale as a "US lambic", kind of like you could call prosecco "Italian champagne". Though lambic (or champagne)...

    Depends on the type of stout or porter, there's even variance within those styles (american vs english porter, irish dry vs oatmeal stout, etc). But at a high level, Kudos is right. NE IPA isn't an officially judged category, kind of like West Coast IPA isn't an officially judged category. The...

    The Beer Thread

    Lambic is a wild ale specific to a Belgian region (Brussels), kind of like Champagne is a specific kind of sparkling wine. The wild yeast present in that region yield a distinct, pleasing result. Most people think of Lindeman's Framboise when they think of lambic, though fruited lambics fall...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My only complaint is she didn't go medieval enough on them (yet). It's too bad she already used ZombieMountain rape on the nun, because it would have been way more poetic on the sand cunts.

    There is some quiet pleasure to be had knowing your ex made bad life choices and has to live with them. But closing the door on communication was a good call.

    Dead Cells

    Went ahead and got this at the end of the Steam sale, it's looking good so far. The beginning is pretty rough, with getting used to the fighting mechanics and being underpowered (I assume). But it does feel like you make some progress with each run. I think this one is going to be good.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thanks Mud for the boost to 70 last night. I blew my shard stash and got some starting pieces, mostly just tooling around in T1 to get used to the class. I'll probably play it as a second character next season.

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    If it tracks all of N's recent HW releases, it will be mostly available via scalpers. So you won't be supporting Nintendo, you'll be supporting Keg's supply of rohypnol.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    Saw it, liked it. I'm not very familiar with the character, has that always been her origin story? I didn't realize she was supposed to be a literal goddess. Gadot is a figurative goddess. Damn.

    It's already established that the limpdicks at big N can't produce hardware and have no idea what forecasting is, so prepare for 3rd parties ruling the market through resale. Fuck those cunts, buy a RetroPie.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    This doesn't hold water though, because if production is meeting the current demand, the best possible way to cut out scalping would be to make them readily available at Amazon. No one pays a scalper when Prime will have it on your doorstep in two days. For whatever reason (misguided strategy...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Also, Cave Story+ is pre-ordering at $30 for the Switch? Dafuq? A port of a 10+ year old (originally freeware) game that is $15 on Steam (much less when on sale) is 2x marked up on Switch.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm really surprised the Switch isn't more available at this point. Feels like N is missing the hype train on their runaway hit game (BotW) without much more in the pipeline to generate HW sales for a while. Are they terrible at manufacturing HW, or do they think holding back HW is 4D chess...

    Are you a sours guy on the whole, or does that one just stand out? Sours aren't my fav. I also despise the Lagunitas founder and his duplicitous bullshit. Treehouse doesn't ship anywhere near me. Can definitely get behind the juicy hops in NE style pale ales though. Never tried one, will...

    So someone let the air out of your tire? Do you have beef with a neighbor or something? That sucks. Maybe you just had a series of bad breaks. It happens. If this is "the story of your life", then Blazin is probably on to something. I hope things get better for you.

    Don't most people let both sets of parents know they plan to get engaged before actually getting engaged? We decided to do it together since we already lived together and the opportunity arose, but I talked to both sets of parents prior to getting engaged previously.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    One minor hitch: if you want Guardian, the conquests for this season are pretty awful so Years of War = GR55 with 6 different 6pc set bonuses is probably the 3rd least shitty (after gem leveling and boss speed run, which is very doable with Impale DH solo). That requires 2 classes. Still agree...

    Is there a trick to playing the archon build that makes it fun? I felt like it required finicky timing to get stacks going and burst damage timed right, rather than the DH Impale build which just screen-fucks everything while flipping out like a motherfucking ninja. I tired of archon and...
