    Path of Exile

    The amount of loot is nonsensical to the point you get desensitized to loot in general. When so much drops that it crashes the client, and even the server. Or causes massive performance degradation, it might be time to adjust your philosophy on loot as a developer

    The Expanse

    It becomes harder to watch mostly because several of the characters become insufferable cunts. But Amos stays awesome at least.

    He waited until he was in his late 30s, presumably, to buy his first house, and apparently used to make even more money. That story doesn't seem real based on just those 2 pieces of information. Sounds a lot like a bait story to stir the pot on the internet.

    PD2 is miles better. PoD had a half baked new season release recently... 3 years after the last one. PD2 is in active development with a much bigger playerbase.

    How often do you guys get solicited by phone to sell your property? It's been a thing for a while now but as interest rates have gone up it's gotten much worse. I get at least 1 call a day, usually identified as spam and I can just kill the call but I think these fuckers are getting my info from...

    Eh, I try not to be THAT cynical, where I believe veterans are all liars and they totally, definitely get taken care of by us and our country after they serve. But that's a touchy one. I could say similar things from my Ivory Tower too. Where I spend less than 50k/yr even with my private...

    Gravel come on man... that's not a good look. You know better than anyone your retiree situation where you can choose exactly where you live with no kids and, presumably, no debt is very different. 50k a year isn't much and if he's 100% disabled he doesn't have a lot of options. And he's a...

    Well they can, but they're probably never gonna get much further than that. Reality for boomers was you could do exactly that sort of thing, out of high school, in a huge swath of manufacturing jobs, and then work your way up over the course of 40 years, while contributing to a pension. You...

    Millenials grew up, professionally, during a very strange time in this country. I am technically a Millenial, at 41, and I assume a large portion of this forum are also Millenials. We had literally the dumbest crop of parents ever produced because the job loyalty, pensioner American Dream...

    The younger generations know more about debt than any generation preceding them. Especially more than their parents, who sent them off to get any degree being offered at outrageous University prices. They get taught about debt bud, just not in a productive, parental way.

    Nope, that experience got replaced by parents from our generation (kids of boomers) realizing shit really ain't all American Dream, and raising jaded children. It's hilarious that people on this forum, acting the way they act and saying the things they say in the depths of the internet, are...

    I hope you can appreciate the reality, and irony, of this post combined with the previous discussion. And my debt averse, fiscal policy stance is far more documented on this forum than any relationship stance from years ago in a dead thread, for what it's worth. Anyway, to make sure it doesn't...

    Sounds like some county jurisdictions aren't as unscrupulous as mine. Mine changed the rules from assessment every 10 years to every 5 years with curious timing... in 2022.

    First, don't trust zillow for anything. In different areas people use different sites for apartment hunting more prevalently. Here, it's Facebook marketplace oddly enough. Find out what the bigger sites are for that in your area and use those to determine rent pricing. Second, consider worst...

    Maybe they haven't "done deals" but I bet they've watched HGTV. That should be a joke but it isn't. It's not surprising a generation of people who grew up being sold the concept of starter homes and the "value add" of granite countertops and then lived through 2008 doesn't have an "American...

    All of that isn't terribly realistic these days though. Job loyalty doesn't pay anymore, so to speak, and so people change jobs often just to get whatever money they feel they deserve and in a reality like that homeownership can kind of feel like being handcuffed. Putting down roots is very...

    Just make sure you very specifically spell out your components and ask them if they can bench test those components.

    What is or isn't smart doesn't really play into it for a lot of people. Whether it's logical or not the past ~20 years soured a lot of the younger generation on homeownership. I think a lot of younger people just don't really care to deal with it and there is a fair amount to deal with, in a...
