    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Let me tell you the reason that most men our age (40ish) do not have wives that stay at home or in-laws to pick up the kids; because we were the first generation that had schools/parents/media telling girls all goddamn day every day that they were going to work for a living. We were also the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The worm is turning on women being heavily penalized for being out of the workforce due to raising children. Fortune 500 companies are making this a point due to Grrrrrrrl Power but it is an area where smart and hard-working women are going to be able to transition back into the workforce far...

    I see WotC is now actively trying to kill MtG.

    Dying Light 2

    Ha, I don't miss those days at all. I thought being away from family at a hotel was going to be all relaxing and meals out. It turned out to be working late, getting fast food or take out, and spending too much time in airports.

    Dying Light 2

    The first night mission was all out insanity; it was one of the more satisfying things to complete in my gaming career.

    Dying Light 2

    The beginning can feel kind of bad when you don't know what you are doing, have not skills/weapons, and really haven't opened up the world. Once you get a little farther in and start gathering mats for better weapons and start going out at night it gets great. Hearing that it is more DL1 with...

    Path of Exile

    I farm the Precinct map because my favorite build used to be able to perma-stunlock all 2-8 rouge exiles that are the map bosses. It also has some good div card drops and a pretty favorable layout/density. It was out of the rotation last league but is coming back in this one and there may be...

    Path of Exile

    Really excited about the Atlas passive tree affecting every map. I think the Bestiary ring and Delve rings will be good.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Making the player into the 'hero' fucked this game. Making the story about the player forces them into themes and interactions that play out across multiple options instead of a tightly written story that we the player get to witness. I hated every time my character talked because it took me out...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    2 hand sword. As is tradition.

    Path of Exile

    Man, I think the combination of the map tree and no more map regions/conquerors is going to pull me back in. It helps that the league mechanic is easily skippable. Fuck.

    The Chosen

    Sounds utterly wholesome.

    Fringe

    It was boundary pushing. This is 2008 and the main character is solving problems using an isolation tank and making his own psychedelic drugs. I didn't hear about these concepts again until (no lie) Joe Rogan was talking about him on his podcast more than a decade later.

    Fringe

    I am convinced that almost no one really watches network shows anymore since they are all so formulaic and bland. The closest thing to Fringe in the last 10 years is Blacklist.....and it isn't even close to as weird, tense, and just plain watchable. Also, every twist can be seen from a mile...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    As opposed to parroting what someone else tells him? Why are those two "dangerous"?

    Path of Exile

    No, there are still red tier maps at the top of the regular map tree; you can just upgrade the rest of the map levels with voidstones.

    If the new orbs are targeted annul/add then I may be back in. So that means there is a .000001% chance I am back in.

    The Fast Food Thread

    The problem with these is that the protein is all soy and that much soy fucks with your body since it is full of estrogen.

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    I'll watch it on HBO/Max day fucking one. The last one was entertaining enough for that. I will not pay to go see it, though. What if Cole dies to Shao Khan in the first 5 minutes only to have him be replaced by Johnny fucking Cage as the main protagonist? Talk about meta redemption for the...

    This forum has had an eyeroll reaction for literally 3 years. I gave your post a taste of it.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I admitted that you are probably right about it and that we have already seen angles from HZD2 that show her looking much more like the last game. You are also right about it and GOW being the two best story driven games since who knows when. If you haven't played Disco Elysium I would...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Mist is defending this because HZD is clearly her favorite PC game (after MTG:A?) and she has a vested interest in people experiencing it with her. It doesn't help that she is probably right about the angles being the problem; however, the question then becomes why people with a vested interest...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    He's not wrong, any top 15 matchup (or top 25 rivalry game) in college will be louder than the NFL.

    Playstation 5

    Those people are missing the point. Microsoft has already conceded the console and big box game shipping war to Sony because they think they can be the Netflix of gaming in the future. Sony seems to be happy to let them do it because they see a future where either they can coexist with...

    Playstation 5

    You all talking about MS playing catch up are truly missing @rhinohelix's point. MS is beyond caring about how many more PS5s were sold because they are getting out of the business of discreet console/box sales and into the business of monthly subscription sales. As long as they are bringing in...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I am actually shocked that they are adding new content. I assume that it sold as well or better than they thought it would and realize that continuing support for this is good.

    Playstation 5

    There is something to be said about a company that is not panicking to have a hit game and can take time to do things right (whatever they consider right to mean). Games is a big part of Microsoft's portfolio, but it is not the only one and it is not the largest. I bet they think that they...

    The Loss-Pron Thread

    Look at the dates on these fucking trades. For some reason I cannot fucking pull the trigger and sell this POS. These holdings are older than two of my four kids. I've held it for much longer since I got ET when they but Sunoco midstream in 2016. Fucking shit.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    What she is essentially talking about is a game company's type of R&D. Does she realize that tons of work goes into products/services that never see the light of day? This is just bitter shit from an entitled baby.

    Playstation 5

    My kids are all playing Lego Jurassic World on the PS4 and it takes everything in me not to tell them how to play the game. Also, every time they unlock a new person by spending their coins in my mind I'm all 'you don't need that person, they don't have any new skills!'

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    There is a whole different conversation to be had about the last 2 or 3 generations of women who have forgotten that blue collar works exists and fuels their independent woman don't-need-no-man lifestyles.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    They don't even understand how it feels to do something. I installed two access points in my house over the weekend so a total of 6 screws and 6 drywall anchors. It took me more time than I care to admit because I don't do this sort of shit; also, anyone would have pointed out that the stock...
