    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Finally completed this last night. Definitely one of the best games of all time. I don't typically enjoy turned based games nor the Bioware-esque dialogue choice stuff....but the story was genuinely interesting plus with the characters and voice acting made this an amazing experience. My only...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Wouldn't be worth the effort. I didn't have that much invested. I did manage to get my bank to reverse the transfer. So, they got screwed on that piece.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It's not an ETF. It's through these guys. I buy gold, silver, and BTC. https://www.itrustcapital.com/

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I am currently holding BTC in an IRA account. However, this account is secured via 2 factor authentication app. My understanding is that these are nigh impossible to get around. Probably asking for trouble, I know.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's a damn good question. Basically, one day, my phone started getting lit up with SMS messages from Coinbase about activity on my account, and when I logged in everything had been liquidated and transferred out. I even had money wired from my bank account to Coinbase. I had 2-factor auth...

    Man, wish my Coinbase account hadn't been robbed. :(

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    One would think phones are becoming competitive in the hand held realm. Besides exclusives, what does Nintendo have going for it over an equivalently priced phone? Also factor in the increasing move to cloud streaming. Not seeing a bright future for Nintendo if they keep themselves locked to...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    What's the big deal with this? Graphics kind of suck.

    Helldivers II

    I have a friend that loves griefing people. Even in co-op games.

    Helldivers II

    I mean, is it experiencing the same bugs? Or is it all network related?

    Helldivers II

    Any preference for PS5 vs PC?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This comment reminded me of my playthrough of Dark Souls. I had no understanding of encumbrance, so I was fat rolling around. I assumed it was because I was wearing heavy armor. Hey, I still beat the same though.

    Xbox Megathread

    Probably will never happen. Enjoy your pixelated Switch 2 games.

    Hazbin Hotel

    Do you need to be 3/4 drunk to enjoy this garbage?

    Helldivers II

    Is the PS5 version largely bug free? Not seeing any complaints so far.

    Helldivers II

    Friend claims this is a hot mess right now?

    Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)

    I honestly didn't know there was anything beyond the first movie. Learn something new every day!

    Hazbin Hotel

    Yeah, this is stupid.

    The Last of Us

    I mean, I'll be shocked if they did this, but any indication they will change course for the TV series?

    Hazbin Hotel

    I didn't last 15 minutes. Not one laugh or chuckle, and woke shit right from get go. Maybe that's the target audience?

    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

    This looks potentially pretty good. But I fucking loathed Afterlife. For context, I adore the first Ghostbusters -- one of my favorite movies of all time. But didn't care for 2 and never watched the 2016 "remake".

    True Detective

    It doesn't matter. Someone that constantly swears for the sake of swearing will get annoying. Same goes for a TV character.

    True Detective

    Personally I'm having a hard time paying attention or caring. Unlikable characters. Jodi is a bitch who likes to say Fuck constantly. Black chick wouldn't be half bad if it wasn't for the massively distracting cheek piercings.

    True Detective

    So, at the beginning of episode 2, one of the frozen dudes started screaming, then cut to the intro sequence. And then no comment was made regarding this afterwards...!? Show is ok so far. Look, I'm no prude, but the shows lately that continuously spam F bombs grows tiresome. They eed to...

    For All Mankind

    She's considered a traitor to the United States. I doubt they'd grant her asylum. The Soviet Union removed her immunity so the U.S. Government could then go after her. But, I agree, I would've taken her back to Russia and let the KGB do their thing.

    For All Mankind

    Definitely the weakest season but I was still entertained. I mean, no fags or lesbos this time, so that automatically gets a rating bump.

    Slow Horses

    The real question is, what's the faggot and tranny count in this?

    Rebel Moon (2023)

    I saw Man of Steel in the theater and have never rewatched it since. So, no.

    What exactly are you "enjoying'?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Well, we've all been told that we must report to the office. No more work from home. Even employees that are classified as "remote" are expected to go to whatever local office that might exist in your area. So, yeah, go into an office to work remote (since other team members obviously won't...

    Devs

    A good Usenet provider is like 10 bucks a month. I mean, really, if you subscribe to any of the streaming services just cancel one of those. You'll have access to everything anyway. Stop being dumb.

    The Fall of the House of Usher

    I'm no prude, but the over the top, constant swearing did me in. Couldn't make it past the second episode.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I felt the game was too large. I love the Souls series of games but Elden Ring started to wear out it's welcome towards the end. Do not get me wrong ...I still consider it a 10/10 game. But I got to the point where I just wanted it to be over.

    It is an election year that is assuredly going to create chaos and uncertainty.

    2023 Official Stonks Contest

    Total guess. I don't know shit. Reminds me, years ago, I played in a NASCAR fantasy league. I won that, and all I did was randomly choose drivers.
