    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Hmmm that may explain how I got my horse today. I have been using remote play and leaving it paused a lot while working. I was going from A to B, not by auto pilot, and passed someone working on horseshoes for a horse on the side of the road. I didn't talk to him or whatever, honestly I was...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    NW of Strawberry there is a legendary buck. Just west of there is a river that flows into that little lake. Along that river last night I found three cougars. In the area around the trapper (again, roughly near the buck) there was another one. Lots and LOTS of hunting in that area. The unicorn...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Any tips for getting perfect rabbit pelts? I'm guessing I have to spend money on bait and lasso them at this point... Even if I get a headshot with the varmint rifle on a pristine rabbit, it will only give a good quality pelt.

    Remember, the PS4 has a running 15 minute buffer of gameplay. Click the share button and save the video when something fun happens.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Here's what I have now. I sold my E55 so I no longer have any fast cars. This is a 200 series Land Cruiser. I'm going to add a slight lift, steel front/rear bumpers with a winch and the exterior should be done. I'll probably move to 17" ICON wheels now that they have 5x150 options that clear...

    Maybe try using the -exec flag with find? find ./lgrep "kinkycoeds" -exec mv {} /storage/videos/birthday \; edit: an example to run in your home dir to see how it works: find . -exec ls -al {} \;

    Buying a Business

    Do this instead... Look at remote work for risky start ups. It'll be more interesting than flushing money down the drain by dealing with a restaurant/bar. Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2018) | Hacker News

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I was bit by one a few years ago. Shit, 9 years ago? Anyways. I work from home, so I was out at like 10:30am taking a break, walking my dog with my headphones on. Music is loud, I kind of hear some commotion so I look up the street and there is some lady running towards me waving her arms in...

    Best general purpose laptop for $500?

    @Morrow if you want to move folders around you can use junction points. From an admin command prompt, run mklink /? Stop the blizzard client (I don't even know what it's called these days) - move the Overwatch folder or one of them to the storage drive (let's call it E: ) and then once it's...

    Best general purpose laptop for $500?

    I'm looking to buy my kids some updated laptops. I'm thinking one of these in this thread would be good. They mostly play minecraft/stardew valley and those type of games. Would this one (linked earlier) work fine for that? I've been out of PC gaming for years...

    I Quit My Job

    @Noodleface is what I wrote the dumbest thing you have ever read, or is it the topic of this thread - quitting your job to go play poker? It could be either, that's why I ask.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I have tried the game on WiiU and 3ds. Those games sucked. The controls were absurdly bad with crazy input lag, horrible animation lock, hell you couldn't even walk while drinking a potion, could you? They were what I classify as "painfully Japanese games" which is a huge genre, in my opinion.

    I Quit My Job

    @Adebisi keep changing jobs until you work for the right person. I've been working with the same few people across three different companies now dating back to 2001. We built a company, sold it (acquisition), served our time there - retention bonuses and non-competes, and are now building a...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I was a full-on hammer bro the first few days, but I changed to sword and shield last night to see what that's all about. If you're new to the series like I am and kind of bumbling around, give sword and shield a shot. The best thing about it is that the sheathe / unsheathe action is damn near...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    @yimmien I had similar problems with two PS4s. I ended up selling the old one because I couldn't find a solution I was happy with. It seems the only real option is to make the other system entirely standalone, which means double purchases. Making the other one your primary and then using the...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    PS4 pro came out at the end of 2016. Everyone already has a PS4. I hope the sales of the new Xbox would beat out the PS4. If it didn't that would actually be news. Have they released the number of Skyrim PSVR bundles that they sold, other than "all of them"? That's going to be an interesting stat.

    It's pretty great on the PS4 Pro. Then again my only Windows box is a Surface - no PC gaming for over 3 years for me. I don't feel like I've missed anything during that time, either.

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Let's take it one step at a time. First step: buy a bicycle for less than $100 off craigslist or the facebook marketplace. There, you are no longer walking. Your two hour commute has been reduced to 20 minutes for 1/20th the cost of your original request. What other ridiculous requests do you...

    Yes, hold the options button to recenter. If that works, but not 100%, hit the PS button to go back to the dashboard. Hold options there. Enter the game again (you don't have to close the game if you are new to the PS4) and it should recalculate again.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    You know the supply drop mode they have in BF1? In BC3 the supplies that drop from the sky will be actual loot crates that you have to fight over. Including fighting with your team over them. Totally not out of the realm of possibility.

    @a_skeleton_03 if you move this forum over to AWS I expect your costs to go up at least 4x. I'm kind of amazed you are using elasticsearch on aws. I have always used a dedicated server (32 cores and 48gb ram for $65/mo) for my elasticsearch needs. The same hardware in AWS would cost me a kidney...

    The V2 headset has a volume button switch. It's under the visor near the power button. It looks like a 4 way switch but only does three things, volume up/down, mute/unmute toggle.
