    Company Man complete. It really was a great stand-alone novel. I would recommend it to anyone that likes mystery and even a little bit of sci-fi/fantasy.

    Nope, actually reading. For some reason I could never get into audio books.

    Finished Mr. Shivers and am about halfway through Company Man. I really liked Shivers but Company Man is just great.

    Death and... Taxes.

    Be sure to keep all of the goddamn paperwork they sent in triplicate so when they come try and claw it back at least you have proof that they cannot charge you interest.

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    What part of the Star Wars franchise over the last 20 years gives you hope that the character and story will be well written?

    Death and... Taxes.

    We are about to pay the largest tax bill we ever had by many orders of magnitude. We also did amazingly well in 2023 so this was anticipated; however, it is astounding how much money the Federal government takes from productive people. It would be great if everyone had to plan for a lump sum...

    Didn't they say that about the league that followed Affliction. Now look where we are? Maybe GGG has just decided to ramp up the silliness every league until POE2.

    The original post was supposed to be half-assed and a little jokey; that response was directed specifically to @BrutulTM because he couldn't recognize how tounge-in-cheek it was for someone from this insular forum to complain about another insular forum....even though we are allowed to complain...

    Ok, 6 days of seeing these guys spell faggot with a ph and say srs after everything is really making me irrationally biased against them. We are adults here (most of us); you can use a hard F and 4 more letters to get to the full word.

    The Matrix (1999)

    Bro, you obviously missed how great a movie it was for kids. I'm sure the riveting conversations about the Trade Federation's economic blockade of Naboo and how two retarded Jedi are sent in as negotiators sure did set those kids up for a lifelong love of politics. Also, you're low IQ if you...

    The Matrix (1999)

    The Matrix (1999)

    Being the bright spot in a bad movie doesn't make the whole thing better, it just means that it was a little less awful than the rest of the trash it was surrounded with. Most of us were in our teens or twenties when this and the Prequels came out and our minds were still young enough that we...

    Yep, I ran Metamorph in my maps because I thought it was fun. I ran it from when the scarab was introduced until they took it out. Every single person who saw it said "Your are wasting those nodes, it isn't very profitable." I told them I played it because I enjoyed it; the looks of confusion...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    They made a *gigantic* improvement in ER with the NPC tags in the map; hell, having a map was a new thing in a FromSoft game. However, and this is big, it is still hard to see the NPC's unless you are looking directly at them and they are not hidden against the background. I know that they...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    My guy, even if your predictions are 100000% correct and BTC becomes the de facto reserve currency of the world there is going to be at least 1 other "shitcoin" that is going to be the place where dissident money congregates. Who knows what that coin will be by the time your prophecy is finally...

    On the build: Multi-Totem Support allows you to have more than one totem out at a time, but you have to manually cast each of them every time. It is a pain in the balls. You will need to get a new Berserk gem and make sure it meets the requirements for CWDT. It will just not be...

    Guys, go enjoy the rest of the forum, if those asshats really start shitting up threads they will get Rickshawed for a few days/weeks/months and then banned. It has happened before and it will happen again.

    I took one of my sons to see Godzilla x Kong on Saturday to a GIANT theater and spent more on 2xsmall drinks and a large popcorn than I did on the fucking tickets. There were 10 people or less in the regular version of the movie that we saw (no 3d, no IMAX). I am certainly no expert on...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    You are absolutely correct but missing the point. Why did Paramount try to take a boys cartoon and make it into a tentpole movie with a huge budget? No one was asking for it and the geeks would have eaten up a much smaller scale movie target to them. Instead they watered down everything, took...
