    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    I mean if youre gonna make a looter shooter, how bout making sure the shooting feels good first, then work on the rest. Just looking at that shit makes me laugh. Shit on Outriders and even the broken ass unfinished Anthem, but at least the shooting in those games felt good.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    NX is sooo much better than Catia, especially for solid modeling. Surface hands down Catia has NX beat, but for solids its like 1000% easier. I worked on Catia back in the early 2Ks when Chrysler first switched to Catia V5 from Catia V4. I worked on a Front Door trim panel.

    We buy all of our shit so they can hand them down. Its been our model since ive been working there for almost 25 yrs. Hard core users get the new good shit and their old stuff gets passed down to not so hard core users. etc... Of course there is an expiration tag on all equipment eventually, but...

    Engineering companies like mine are so far behind the tech curve its not even funny. Especially mine where it was a Jap owned company since inception and their whole thing was keep shit simple and inexpensive as possible. We didnt even have security on any of our shit until like 15 or so yrs...

    Just speaking from laymans point of view but hardware is getting to the point that you dont need upgrades every year like it was only like 5 yrs ago. You get a $500- $1000 phone, first of all youre gonna be financing the thing for 2-3 yrs. So there goes all the sales. Why do they put out new...

    Battlefield 2042

    I linked this dudes stream up above somewhere. He streams on twitch basically every day. Now im not going to say 100% that hes not cheating, but it does not seem that way from watching him a bit. He is just that good. And lets face it, in a 64 v 64 lobby dont forget 80%, if not more, of...

    Its a pittance dmg boost adding impale. Impale got its shit nerfed a few leagues back. So in order to get good results from impale, you have to heavily invest in it. Check your pob, it should tell you the raw dmg it adds, but it wont be much on a build like yours.

    Desktop Computers

    I got some nice comp build screwdriver set from amazon years back. They were all magnetic, so you didnt lose screws, and they were long and skinny, perfect tools for comps and builds. But of course the kids at the time clepted them and I never saw them again, lol.

    I never understodd this fascination with the super special limited hardbacks for like a $$ K each. Man fuck that noise. I would not even put that shit on my bookshelf collecting dust. Like what do they do with these books? Bag them and save them in some closet for 20 yrs hoping they are now...

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    There is lots of shit we do thats not productive. Why is it we need to be productive 24/7? Isnt it enough I gave like 35 fucking years of my working life 8+ hours a day to my jobs along the way since I was 15 making others rich? Not even considering the productive time I gave my family for the...

    I just turned 50 and have plenty of time to waste on games. I work, I play, I exercise, I have a family.

    Pretty much done with this season. Got all the craftable weapons unlocked, at least the seasonal and neoluna (last pulse took literally 3 weeks of grinding the gold patrols on neoluna whenever I did them, it was hours and hours of doing that shit). Master work leveled and crafted the pulse and...

    Silica - RTS/FPS hybrid with Planetside vibes?

    I cant believe to this day no one tried to copy/emulate Planetside but with a good engine and a good dev team. Was it that much of a fail? Or is it just too hard to do with all the players?

    Yeah they make some mobs just stupid dumb with DR and resists that nothing can touch it. And its not only crucible, although crucible just puts a big ole spotlight on those mobs when you go all in on the channel. At least they toned down the mobs somewhat, at least wile leveling. Taking my...

    I dont do rare ass pork like that and even if I did the tenderloin is way too dry. I tried it in my rotisserie a few times and never cared for it. Only pork we ever consume is shit like pork chops, which we usually pan fry with breading like a schnitzel, pork steaks in summer and of course pork...

    yeah I caught a bit of that strim and no redeeming quality to the game at all. 6 people standing around whacking a mob like its 1999 but without the charm of EQ.

    Supposedly they have spent more cash on this DLC then ever before including all withcher DLC combined., Plus were getting Reeves back AND Idris Elba. People are speculating that this will be about 40+ hours of main and side quests added, but well see.

    I would hope they ave internal tracking tools for the amounts of coinage being gained and farmed, etc... and if they even hinted ata whiff of some exploit they would be tracking it down and squashing it quick fast in a hurry. But then again this is GGG and IDK if they have shit like this and...

    Well depending on what you play, its still reasonable to upgrade for about a grand or so, and it really does not have to be every year or two either.

    We use smoked neck bones all the time to make Fejouada. Brazillian black bean stew. I love the neck bones over hocks any day of the week. Never even thought about using smoked shit, other then sausage, in gumbo though, might give it a try.

    Last league I played was delirium and that shit was nuts on drops. Could def get hairy, but it was super rewarding. I think I had 4-5 characters 88+ and a few in 90+.
