    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I enjoyed running the dungeons, seeing those and all. But outside of that, yeah, this game is complete ass. Combat is the most bland, unengaging system I've ever experienced in a MMO. Animations are terrible and character models look retarded. Anyone who thinks otherwise has zero taste in...

    Would make zero sense for the writers to kill off a prominent character so early in the story. 100% ain't dead.

    SWTOR

    Yeah, if you want your ass kicked go play Guild Wars 2's HoT or PoF expansions...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Haha, and I remember people mistakenly calling it the "Ruined" Circlet.

    Actually that was a great scene between Shiv and Courtney. Shiv showed up and was kinda sorta not acting like she knew? And Courtney was just sitting there confused and apprehensive just like us as the viewer. I thought that was really well done.

    Best episode so far. Not a single boring moment.

    The Last of Us

    25:00 had me dying. Joe's a pretty funny dude.

    Yeah, "was".

    Thus far I'm detecting no SJW propaganda. No overtly gay characters that I've noticed (in fact, no romance of any kind so far). At first I was afraid of Icicle's "New America" being some kind of white supremacist angle, but considering Tigress is in that group (actor is Korean I believe), that...

    Great. So the good guys are ordinary teenagers with zero powers and team evil has dragons.

    They really need to have another adult to balance it out.

    Doom Patrol

    Yeah, I just wish they had more episodes where they, as a TEAM, work together using their respective abilities to defeat the badies. But most of the time it's half of them off doing their own thing.

    Doom Patrol

    I never read the DOOM Patrol comics. So question: do these guys ever do anything particularly super hero-ey? Or is it entirely them dealing with their shitty problems?

    Doom Patrol

    It was always weekly with the DC service. And Stargirl is weekly, but that could be a special case because of CW.

    The Last of Us

    Not like that. Not unless they're professional body builders taking god knows what.

    The Last of Us

    Wonder if the character was originally male and they changed it late in development? Because it's just weird looking.

    The Last of Us

    Is there any in-game explanation of why she's so over-the-top muscular?

    Devs

    Just got around to watching this. I really, really enjoyed this up until the final episode. The final ep wasn't bad, but I guess I had the expectation that there was going to be some grand, mind-fuck reveal. I had suspected (and this could still be the case) that they were already in a...

    Overwatch

    I'm starting to wonder if my old 60Hz monitor is hurting me? I swear to God I feel like I can't tell what's going on. I get in an engagement and die instantly not knowing what the hell just happened. Or it's just old man syndrome and my reflexes suck.

    Eh, I think their suits/accessories would protect them. I'm sure Hour-Boy has some level of invulnerability. I liked the scene where they found the dead security guard. The look on their faces made it clear they realized this is serious business.

    Dark

    Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious there's a role reversal on that Earth. I'm guessing there will be others as well.

    Overwatch

    A couple friends and I bought Overwatch for the PC a few days ago. How do new players enjoy this game? We are constantly getting curb stomped every match. Does this game not match you up with people with similar skill level / rank? We were playing Paladins previously and for whatever reason...

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

    My company traditionally only hired individuals able to work physically at our location. But because of COVID and the noticeable increase in productivity lately, they have opened up to hiring remote devs.

    Why not look at remote jobs? No reason to lock yourself to one area.

    Why is this reminding me of Star Trek Picard?

    The Last of Us

    Haven't played the game, but from reading a handful of metacritic reviews and comments here....leaves me wondering what in the fuck is wrong with writers nowadays? It's like they have severe mental issues and are pushing their depressing bullshit on us all. It's not even well-done depressing shit.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    I never understood this argument. All it would take is for *one* of those civilizations to last long enough to colonize beyond their home world. And, at that point, they're golden. As others have mentioned, you don't need warp drive to colonize the entire galaxy in a relatively short period...

    Phantasy Star Online 2

    I had to reload Windows 10 on my system. Decided to reinstall PSO2 because, who knows, maybe I had something funky going on with my Windows installation. So, reinstalled Win10 fresh...latest drivers, etc. Clean as whistle. Installed PSO2 and *same* fucking problem. Installation goes corrupt...

    The Last of Us

    Yeah, same with Babbage's. We just re-shrinked wrapped it and put it back on the shelf as new. I think they eventually had a lawsuit which put an end to that? I was gone by that point. But I know the return policy became hardcore sometime in the early 2000s.

    The Last of Us

    So, quick history lesson: I think it was back in 97, "Babbage's" and "Software Etc" decided to merge. Problem is, a lot of the time both of these stores existed within the same mall. To compound matters, they kept all the existing district and regional managers. Needless to say, the newly...

    Yeah, still enoying this. But it's gonna get real retarded if a bunch of inexperienced teenies with no inherent powers can take on the ISA and not get curb stomped.

    The Last of Us

    As I sure you know, Gamestop was "Babbage's Software" back in the 90s. I was manager of one here in Virginia from 1991 to 1998. Good times and great memories. That was a great place to work before it became so heavily focused on add-on sales and used games.

    Investing General Discussion

    I cashed out a couple weeks ago when my Vanguard account reached break-even. Was thinking of re-entering when and if the market goes below my exit point (I was mostly invested in the Vanguard VTI total-stock index fund). However, I had purchased a vehicle back in December and financed it for...

    Car ?'s

    If one pays off their car loan, does insurance typically go down since there is no longer a lien on it?
