    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Wow I am fucking retarded and this is absolutely true. I don’t know why, but I assumed an ability this powerful was self cast only and never thought to try. So essentially you can disregard half of what I was saying. Lmao. Good shit. Still probably the best ability in the game, though.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Just to share my experience with the current Unemployment assistance programs, filing taxes, etc... as someone who makes about $30k or even a little less a year. I'm a Chef. I filed for unemployment much earlier than most and was taking this seriously in early February. I stocked up on...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Fane’s Time Warp skill is one of the best in the game, out of anything. It gives you an entire extra turn immediately after the current, so it’s generally wise to pick up Fane and place him as a heavy AP using caster or more complex character to fully utilize all of his available movement and...

    Mortal Shell - Soulslike RPG

    Following this. Not interested in most Souls like knock offs, but this looks very well done while maintaining an interestingly unique aspect to it. Hope it delivers.

    Path of Exile

    I found a corrupted Tabula Rasa 6L. I’m only 55, but I’m assuming it’s worth using a 6L with zero other stats to be able to six slot my Ice Shot (main build) with support gems over some okayish stats, right? It feels right but also I’m lacking life and resistance somewhat because I fucked up my...

    Path of Exile

    Thanks for all the replies, the wiki and stuff doesn’t typically include the player economy aspect so all I noticed was the 2D art flip and wasn’t sure what was going on. Makes more sense now. I definitely did not find an actual Mirror of Kalandra, just some vendor trash Mirrored items...

    Path of Exile

    Can someone explain the point of ‘Mirrored’ items? I read about it, I just don’t understand why. And apparently Mirrors of Kalandra or whatever are high end trading currency?

    Path of Exile

    Even just playing with one other person would be cool, and especially in the early / leveling stages that are a bit boring. I can’t imagine stacking a group with all the shit already clusterfucked on the screen tbh.

    Path of Exile

    Has GGG explicitly stated that they are against implementing any matchmaking or type of social support for console? Maybe it doesn’t exist on PC either? What gives? I can’t inspect other peoples gear, I can’t chat with them outside of slowly loading the entire Sony menus or typing in their...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I think this has become one of those things that seems like a controversial opinion but in reality isnt. Not ragging on you, just know a lot of people feel the same. I’m coming back to give Trials and the new changes a chance, but we’ll see how it goes. I go through ‘the cycle’ with Destiny even...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    My wife and I had a baby and haven’t had time to play at all, basically stopped a couple weeks into December. it is amazing how much practice and consistency is required to stay ‘in shape’ with these games. I hopped into Crucible for the first time in months and just got smoked by so much dumb...

    GameStop Stock Worth $5.13...But Only Worth 7cents In Store Credit

    Lol $5.13/share...it was as low as $3.15 within the past year. Some say the stock is actually undervalued at the moment due to a small shift in their merchandising and pivoting some of their business. I don’t see it surviving long though, to be honest. A couple of careful options plays and you...

    The Division 2

    Damnit dude I hate when this shit happens. I just bought this game at $30 because I thought that was a decent deal at the time and now there’s basically no point in playing until this new expansion. Oh well.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    If they had combined the good shit from Anthem and replaced the bad shit in Mass Effect : Andromeda with it, I might have a completely different take on BioWare right now. I still enjoy the Dragon Age franchise and always have, but that’s about it... If I were putting money on this, I’d say...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Salt & Pepper only on a perfect cut of steak is the correct method, IMO. Now, if you must have more I go with two sprigs of rosemary, fresh garlic clove and butter. Sear and baste until proper.

    Investing General Discussion

    Where I’m at with it currently is basically going short term calls on (lower risk) stocks, MSFT and steady risers. Going long term (6+ months) still makes me a little uneasy but the way I understand it, I can sell the contracts before they expire anyway so if I find a comfortable place to get...

    Anyone here actively trade Options? Looking for some anecdotes and experiences, advice on what to be cautious about even when things seem incredibly solid and so on. I’ve read up on a lot, but I want to hear some real stories from real people and not just textbook jargon on news sites. I’ve gone...

    Blazin, do you own/work for a firm or group? Strictly curious if your mindset has been molded diligently through self examination and basically being an autodidact or if you have had peers and influence along the way.

    Is anyone else riding this Tesla elevator at the moment? Insanity thanks for the insight Gravel/Blazin. I figured that’s what was happening but I am completely new to monitoring foreign, especially Chinese, money and markets.

    What is going on in China? Are they basically saying it’s impossible for their market to fail/fall too much and why the 8% cap? I am still learning a lot, but this seems like some crazy shit from what little I do understand. Is this common?

    Monster Hunter: World

    So I bought this when it first came out and had barely touched any MH handhelds before, so everything was pretty new. I’ve played like every RPG action combat game imaginable though so it’s not too difficult to wrap my head around. That being said, my original save file was only 7 hrs played and...

    Yeah bro try playing Hunter with triple jump, I have the same issue and when I first started I’m not sure I’d have ever made it past the first couple of levels had I not restarted on a Hunter and found out that I loved the way they moved and flowed infinitely better. To this day, I fucking suck...

    Sorry if this has been covered or asked but I’m trying to soak up and absorb as much knowledge about investing as possible, and I’ve been wishing I had the money to practice with but I’m not quite comfortable enough to put real shit on the line yet with my current obligations. So, is there an...

    edit; also just wanna note that I’m impressed and kind of touched by how solid some of you dudes are and seem to be awesome family men for a group of some of the shittiest shitheads I’ve ever known. I’m proud of you bois. Wife & I had our baby girl 7 weeks ago. Originally figured I could have...

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint

    Picked this up on the holiday sale for $18. I unashamedly loved Wildlands from day 1, and it got better over time. Seems like they fixed a lot of stuff so far in this but I can’t fucking get the feel for it. I wanna love this game too but the camera and angles seem clunky, movement seems slow...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Funny seeing this because I was just talking about this a couple of days ago. The first time I ever made ‘real’ money in my life was from selling my WoW account. I was only 16 or maybe 17 by the time it sold. I started playing EverQuest (and other shit) extremely young and usually just kept...

    Hekotat's Christmas giveaway 2019

    Dude, these are dope. Dead Orbit is also the best faction so good job buddy. Maybe crosspost in the Destiny thread? I’m amazed more people wouldn’t jump on this, really cool of you man.

    What everybody else said, but also I only got back into the game at the end of Forsaken in September and after getting my bearings and catching up with the story, etc. I squeezed a TON of time and enjoyment out of older game modes that people who have played consistently are kinda tired of...

    I cannot wrap my head around how expensive Eververse is. $10 emotes. What the fuck is going on in gaming... What’s sad is I am always happy with cosmetic and QoL MtX and will never mind spending small amounts of money to support studios but I can’t justify the shit I’m seeing here. Obviously...

    Man, I’m stuck at around 4200 glory. I feel so close to getting Legend this season and SO fucking far at the same time. Matchmaking is so weird. Since the patch, I love solo queue, but I seem to have way more issues connection and lag wise and I don’t think I’m alone there. I went from comp to...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I got a ridiculous pair of gloves like that from Crucible earlier. Honestly considering using them, but all my other gear is already rolled for recovery and I don’t have anything else to swap to so it’s kind of pointless. I am hitting a wall in this game pretty bad. All my options for things...

    Brahma, at 961 power, which is pretty incredible you made it there in a short period of time as a new player, consider yourself at cap basically. The math to upgrade each piece of gear beyond 950 because of RNG is insane... Spend your time doing Exotic quests, pinnacle/ritual weapons (PvP top...

    I’ve definitely seen more of a variety as of late, and I think some of it comes from quest diversity and some recent patch changes have made things actually viable for once. I’m running a MW Arc Logic as my energy mainstay in PvP right now and it destroys. I don’t know why it’s not being used...

    I don’t know if they changed the jump at all, but if you really wanna boost your jump and movement... Equip MIDA Multitool primary, bottom tree Arcstrider for focused breathing perk, and Stomp335s. Stack some mobility gear if you want but I think diminishing returns kick in at this point. I...

    Pretty sure those are Shards of Galanor, so I don’t think those are currently bugged. I heard there was a light level display glitch going on, I’ll link it later if I can find it, I’m about to have dinner Edit yeah it’s your Telesto that isn’t currently working
