    According to your post, it says you get to choose ONE perk if you get 3 unlimited lines, two if you get 4 lines. So it seems like you don't get all the channels like you described, you have to choose. I haven't looked into it further though other than your post.

    I sincerely doubt that would ever happen. The entire Democratic party shtick is "helping the poor". Poors don't own homes, they rent. Most brown minorities don't own, they rent. So he's more likely to suspend rent payments, give eviction protections, than to ever give relief to white/asian...

    Housing prices haven't really fallen because, like the article mentioned, people don't have to sell. Most of us have locked in low mortgage rates, we aren't looking to move/sell, so we just hunker down. What will change is if we get into a recession where people start losing jobs. Then you...

    Yeah. Part of the problem is people leaving Cali and NYC and driving up prices everywhere. See: Idaho. Also Plano is really nice, probably the best area near Dallas if you ask me. It’s also somewhere people actually want to live, unlike Compton.

    Most of the time you are looking at generational homes, meaning the family has been living in those homes for decades, it's being passed down from grandparents, to parents, to children. They may have bought the home 60 years ago for $30,000, but now of course it's too expensive to live anywhere...

    Like I said, LA is a complete shitshow. Compton is ghetto, 100% chance your catalytic converter would be gone the next day if you parked on the street. Iron bars over doors/windows. Gun violence. You name it. It's gotten better over the past decade, but it's still not somewhere you wanna...

    @ToeMissile Both the homes you quoted are smaller than the one Lanx posted, so it's not really a direct comparison, but I'll humor you. The $625k home you quoted is 825 sq feet, and is selling for $759/sq ft. The $370k home you quoted is 504 sq feet, and is selling for $734/sq. ft. So let's...

    The problem is that in places like California, that home would be located in Compton and cost $800,000. Sure, you can say don't live in a shithole like Cali, and I would agree with you, but it's the same in most major cities whether you are talking about Boston, New York, etc. So for people...

    Playstation 5

    I would second getting PS+ Premium. Literally more games than I have time to play. I've played through Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, Yakuza 0, and a few older games like Victor Vran and one of the Warhammer games. Currently downloaded Deathloop and Assassin's Creed: Origins but honestly don't...

    What are you playing?

    @Rajaah Thx for the insight into the Yakuza series. I was planning on eventually playing through til Kiwami 2 and stopping, but I will definitely check out Y5 based on your recommendation.

    What are you playing?

    I got Yakuza: Like a Dragon for free via PS Plus, liked the game a lot, I really got to learn and care about the cast of characters. Amazingly anti-woke in this day and age. Since then, I've gone back and finished Yakuza 0, and that game did not disappoint even if graphics are dated...

    The Last of Us

    I'm part of that demographic. Last of Us is one of my favorite games of all time. Like top 3. I've finished the whole campaign 3 or 4 times. I loved the multiplayer. Still one of the best stories ever in a video game imo. When I heard about TLOU2 coming out, I was pumped. Day 1 purchase...

    Except. there is no game here. It's a Skinner box. Honestly, why would you play this "game" on a console or PC? There are hundreds of actual games with better gameplay loops than this. Even D2 and D3 are better than this. Stop and think for a second if you are actually getting any enjoyment...

    It's kinda amazing how many good games are out there I haven't really heard of or just didnt' bother buying. PS Plus Premium has actually been a good thing for me. I played and finished Returnal (well, the first ending, still working on the "secret" ending). This was really good. I was...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you have a PlayStation I would recommend you check out Returnal. Now, combat is different, since it's a FPS. However, the story is, imo, more compelling than what we find in Dragon's Dogma or DS series. If you have PS Plus Premium you can get it for free. It's not an easy game at all...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That was a good read, and it makes sense. I wonder how it will effect the high end market. I visit BringATrailer almost daily, and I've noticed there has been a significant increase in the number of auctions that have not met reserve. Now, on the one hand, I would think people with high end...

    I am being given a business

    How many times have you heard of someone date someone for like 4 years, think they are the love of their life, they get married, and the same person turns into a cunt? If anything observing other people can show you, is that marraige and money changes people, not always for the better...

    Listen to Sanrith. Never enter into a partnership with anybody with debt, especially to the IRS. That applies to business and marriage. You do understand that if you form a company or partnership with this guy that you could end up responsible for his debt? Think about the type of person who...

    Yeah, I'm torn. I backed this game for a friend, because he's a big Darkest Dungeon fan on PC, and I thought this would make a good gift for him. Now I have to pay even more for shipping? This isn't the first project to ask btw, I already paid more to Oathsworn to help with their campaign...

    I always wondered what type of people play slot machines in Vegas. Now I know. It baffles me that slots are the biggest money makers for casinos, but watching how much these gatcha games take in I guess I’m the one whose on the outside looking in. I just can’t believe people spend so much...

    I mean sure. I find mobile games, as a whole, just suck. I can't believe people spend time, let alone money, on them. Tiny screen, shitty controls, shallow gaming, poor battery life....I could go on. With that being said, DI is probably one of the better ones Graphics are good for a mobile...

    Dice Throne is a top 5 game for me, I think it's one of the funnest PvP board games out there, and I also really liked DTA for coop. I have all of season 1 and 2 as well as DTA, and for me that was plenty of content - for now. I did not get Marvel, nor am I getting this Xmas box, since I feel...

    Peaky Blinders

    This was my take on it as well. I disliked how lazy most of the writing was this last season. They make the bad guys as stereo typically repugnant as possible, so it's an easy out - complete fascists, racists, etc. - no grey areas. Unlike our protagonist, who it turns out wants to help the...

    Agreed. They should use whoever does minis for Awaken Realms, I like theirs the best, even better than CMON.

    It would be interesting to compare gross revenues for this game and PoE. PoE has been around a long time, but since they have a loyal fan base they still make good money. I'm sure right now B:I is making tons of money since it's brand new, but I don't think it has legs. This is the type of...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    There is no “super car” worthwhile at $100k. Maybe corvette but that’s like a poor man’s rich car. No head turning cars at least. Up your budget to $150k and you can get something exotic used. AM Vantage, DB7, Ferrari California, etc. Something that will stand out.

    I can see the issue, it didn't link @Animosity 's original post. He mentioned season 3 was good. This was what I was referring to, I think he meant TD, not WW. @Jackie Treehorn responded with the park statement, obviously meaning WW, but like I posted, I thought @Animosity was referring to...

    I *think* that quote might have been in reference to True Detectives, not Westworld. If that was the case….maybe? TD first season was amazing, second one was so such a mess I never watched the third season. For WW, I watched season 1 and enjoyed it, but never watched any others because of the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I myself was the 150/150 rule: I finished the game at around 150 hours played, and around level 150. I took my time and explored almost everything, killed all the bosses, explored most of the dungeons, and I platinumed the game with my first playthrough.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Soft cap is 40, so you definitely benefit from raising you STR up to about that level. I personally would have gone like 40 STR and 60 DEX, but at this point unless you are gonna respec for another reason I would just start adding pts to STR.

    You are probably specced STR/FTH for the halberd, if you continue with that build it's hard to beat Blasphemous Blade, but I don't know how far along you are in the game ; you normally get BB in the later half of the game. I really enjoyed using Great Stars until I got BB. You can also go...

    Towards the last 20% of the game or so, your need to explore content dimishes significantly. By that time, you have maxxed out the weapons you favor and any additional levelling won't really help overcome content.....honestly what's the difference between being level 145 or level 150? It's...

    Meanwhile, he's posting on an old website from his long-gone EQ days, The Rains of Hell, where he's laughing that's he's got someone believing he's in prison. His fellow posters are telling him to continue the farce to see how far this Big Phoenix guy is willing go, maybe they will get some newds.

    I played almost the entire game this way. I love shield/spear play style in previous games but in this one I never used spear. I went from golden halberd to great stars, ended with blaspemous blade. Now using sacred relic sword in NG+ cause the aoe on it is ridiculously good for clearing...

    Usually in these Souls games i like to get main stat to 99 while getting others slowly to soft cap. For this game, there’s so much cool shit to use im going the opposite. I’m getting str/dex/vig/end to 40 each, then either int or faith to 40 (currently faith). This lets me try out all sorts...
