    The Astronomy Thread

    We have already decoded their instructions and are building a primary and backup system. Jodie Foster is standing by. Edit: SETI is downplaying it. http://www.seti.org/seti-institute/a-seti-signal The chance that this is truly a signal from extraterrestrials is not terribly promising, and...

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

    Thanks guys. I'll look into all of those. I was already familiar with BNR. Noodle, I have not been reading this thread. What's the TLDR on why you're changing jobs?

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

    I've spent most of my career performing or managing other people performing embedded development using C. In the past few years that's expanded to include desktop development C#/.NET/Ruby and now I'm working on a relatively straight forward Android project in Java. What are the go-to resources...

    No Man's Sky

    By the way, for those who didn't watch the video that was linked a couple of pages back, Angry Joe's review is a great synopsis of what is good (mostly in the beginning few hours), how we were misled (with evidence), and what is completely annoying. Very entertaining and worth a watch.

    Battlefield 1

    There was technically never a Battlefield 1. The first in the series was Battlefield 1942. As to why they decided to restart at 1, no idea other than it is based in WW1, which is a first for the franchise.

    No Man's Sky

    Really enjoyed the first few hours but it became not very compelling very quickly. I hate myself for buying it. I hope they add a bunch of shit.

    Titanfall 2

    Maybe. I have owned almost every game in the BF franchise since inception, including playtesting the original beta, but I have not purchased their last two offerings, Hardline and Battlefront (if you count that). I thought those two were shit. Hopefully BF1 will deliver. I've not been...

    Titanfall 2

    I had never played TF but I had fun with the tech demo. For me, it was more enjoyable than CoD, at least for the few hours I played. Going to be an interesting choice between TF2 and BF1.

    No Man's Sky

    Can someone help me out with how discovery and uploading works? I've found a pleasant, hospitable planet and decided to try to fully explore it. I'm not clear on a couple of things, though: 1) Recently, my progress seems to be stuck at 76%, even after I discovered a few more plants and...

    No Man's Sky

    I had to restart due to the bug I mentioned in a previous post. Then lost the next start because it crashed just as I was walking back to my ship to save. 3rd start is going well. Apparently the sentinels don't like my strip mining practices. I assume I am supposed to be following the...

    No Man's Sky

    Ran into what seems like a game breaking issue after a few hours of screwing around: I went to the off planet beacon and met the alien who gave me the blueprint for a warp drive, which I built after gathering a few more things. So then I get a notice to return to the life form at the outpost...

    Alright fuckers. I bought it. Won't get to start it until 10 est.

    No Man's Sky

    The issue TB is having is with hitching and I think the sound just died. Sounds worse than the PS4 issues people were reporting which might explain why they released PC later.

    Hodj, Did you buy both PC and PS4?

    No Man's Sky

    Yeah, like I said before, I would absolutely pick it up at $30. I think it is worth that as a technical demonstration and it seems to have a lot of potential. I also don't have any financial concerns but I just object to the AAA price on principal. If I'm going to pay AAA, I expect a lot of...

    No Man's Sky

    Wife is going to be gone all weekend so I just decided to say "Fuck it. I'll binge." I actually just walked into a Gamestop and picked up a copy (figured I could trade it in if I hated it, as opposed to digital), and left without buying it. As much as I like the premise, I just can't get past...

    DRUNKEN GAMING NIGHT!!! - 4-21-2017

    Maybe NMS should be added to the playlist so that we can try to reach and not see each other. Anyone playing Overwatch on PS4 or are you all PC master race?

    No Man's Sky

    Does it not seem odd to anyone that, while you are supposedly discovering new planets, space stations, robot cops and other signs of space stations everywhere? I was pretty interested in the game until some details started becoming clear. After watching some streams, I'd pick it up at $25-30...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Real wonder and real fear. That intensity made EQ the only game to ever drive me to punch a monitor and scream like a bitch. In many ways, it was love/hate.

    No Man's Sky

    Game looks like the love child of single player Elite and single player DayZ (walking simulator) with the Care Bear jizz color pallette. No idea why people are preordering this thing.

    Where is the Caribbean is not a shithole when you get away from the tourist areas? Seriously. I've been to maybe 10-15 locations and it seems like they're all the same. From what I saw of St. Martin, it seemed less so. The reason we were thinking we'd stay on the island, as opposed to...

    St. Martin

    We stopped there for on a cruise a few years ago and went on a long boat ride/snorkeling excursion that went around a lot of the island, stopping at a few places to swim and we ate an amazing lunch at a small beachside bar on the French side. Thinking about going back for a whole week over...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Onoes, About 2 or 3 years into my marriage (we're at 18 now), my wife and I were really struggling with getting along. I got tired of the crazy and decided I would go to a lawyer and talk through things with him to see what I should be doing, what my options were, etc. Really nice guy- I...

    Maybe a_skeleton_03 is the semi-Christian version of the Orlando shooter... he keeps stating nonsensical jesus snackbar stuff but deep down he really wants a big black man to plow his wife while wears a diaper and sucks his thumb in the corner.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Not to white knight, but I assume the sexy and powerful feeling lindz is getting is not just from the new guy but also that she's cucking her husband and he's getting off on it. As I said, I don't get it from his perspective but I could see how it could give her those feelings given that she...

    Step Son Joining Air Force, Advice?

    I've been at a few places that liked hiring former military electronics technicians. I'm sure there are some duds but they have a good reputation and it's "working with your hands" in more of an office environment. Pay can be pretty good for good techs. They are in demand.

    I do not understand this cuck fantasy. I really don't. More power to lindz and mr. lindz if it makes you happy. Also, can we see your boobs again? It's been too long.

    No, that's a drumstick. It's dark meat and has a high fat to meat ratio, with full skin and very little (dark meat) meat. I mean, they're fucking delicious but eating 5 of them for dinner should probably not be your daily dinner plan when you're trying to cut. Boneless skinless breasts...

    What is baked buffalo chicken? Is that with skin, breading and butter? Also, those drumsticks are big calorie hit for the amount fullness they deliver.

    As I said, he might have to adjust it up or down based on activity level and weight. Age too. That goes for all the macros. I didn't mention it but I assume that if he is lifting he's probably doing pre and post-workout supplements, which can add a few hundred calories. At 291 and lifting a...
