Sounds about right. Granted, it's not the same metric you're talking about, but I'm always checking IWM to see how it's doing. It's basically always flat. It's why I feel like I need to dump the rest of the US economy and go with the highest proportion of tech possible. Because everyone else is...
I mean, was the first season actually any good? I barely remember it, but I seem to recall it was a cool setting, but the actual show was like a bad CW teen angst plot with an equally retarded whodunit.
It's weird they're calling Perry the "giant spoiled brat" when it sounds like that's exactly how the faggot who sold the house is acting. Also, fuck him for trying to garner sympathy as a "veteran."
The point he was making was that if you have $5m, you're not flying a private jet. No matter how well your portfolio does, you'll never be the super rich. Yeah, it will provide you with more comfort, but you're still only living marginally better.
I hope this doesn't sound gloating, but when...
This kind of reminds me of a video I was watching yesterday that talked about the marginal value of each dollar saved. The broader topic was about "tiers" of net worth. One of those tiers was $1-10M, and how the majority of people who make it to $1M will never see the next tier, and it's largely...
Saw a shorter clip of this a couple weeks ago, and I forgot how good that song is (song in 2nd video if you don't care about Grohl playing Pantera/Anthrax drummer's kit).
It's a bizarre argument to make though. None of the original people are involved (all the actors are dead and I dunno what the writers and producers status is), and the movie literally shares the name of the first movie.
It's a soft reboot at best. It's most definitely not a sequel, or it'd be...
I say this in so many threads. Every time you go see something just because it's a habit even though you know it's retarded, you're ensuring you just get more of it.
The problem becomes, many people that say "I want to work until I'm 65+" end up being pushed out of the job prior to that. You don't want to be one of those people.
I also disagree with your assertion that people can't save up $1 million by retirement. They absolutely can, the problem is people...
That reminds me too of something I'd read a bit before we retired. It was about how it's pretty uncommon for someone who is able to actually save up enough to retire to go their entire retirement without picking up any extra income here or there. When you calculate you need $x a year, it's...
I'm not as old as most of you (41).
But the first thing you need to do is figure out what your annual expenses are. Like, no shit what they are, not guesstimates. Include everything. That means the bullshit you spend $5 on here and there, all the way through your mortgage and health insurance...
I think someone mentioned it before, but Angie Tribeca (Rashida Jones) was very much a successor to the Naked Gun type of comedy. And that was mid to late 2010s I think.
It's 2025. You expect the government to have some sort of system in place that utilizes technology? Nope they're going to call up places on a landline god damnit.
I agree with your last statement. A lot of the worlds in MMOs are absolutely shit.
One of the things that makes me hopeful for MnM is that the world is actually really well crafted. Granted I haven't seen a ton of it, only having made it to level 12.
So looks like Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails just swapped drummers.
Ilan Rubin from NIN is joining the Foo Fighters, and Josh Freese is going back to Nine Inch Nails to replace Rubin.
Weird stuff.
If you at all like survival games, I think Abiotic Factor really stands out from the rest. The graphics are a bit janky, but man is it well thought out and absolutely massive in content.
I tried Grounded when it first hit EA and it just didn't do it for me. Started playing it a couple weeks ago...
I played fighter. I mentioned before looking at wizard and it seemed...lackluster. It's definitely interesting looking at their stats, it seems like it's actually movement speed which is driving players to classes. Shaman, druid, and bard all get to run fast the soonest, and they're all top of...
I mentioned it during this latest test, but they really nailed the grouping aspect. Every group I had, people were utilizing group chat and actually captured something I only remember EQ having.
If they can solve my issue I have now as an adult where I need to take a quick break from the group...
I dunno, I feel like mercs are just soloing with extra steps. Ignore the models for them, how is it any different than say, the AA system? Or a new spell/skill? Actually, more aptly, it's just adding a pet.
Speaking of AAs, I know they're somewhat controversial with EQ, but I feel like they're...
I wish they'd start publishing how much extra in interest payments we're paying by not cutting by say, .25 BP, each time they have a Fed meeting where nothing happens.
Is this an option I'm unaware of?
As I've said, I'm early retired and have tons of free time I'd love to kill grinding this shit out and providing feedback they ignore.
Our 7.1 lasted close to a minute. It was terrifying.
Magnitudes are crazy though. 8.8 is about 50x larger, and 350x as much energy release than the one we had. I can't even imagine.
Oof, I considered wizard for the next test. Looked at the spells on the wiki and no fucking thanks. To me it looks like they do marginally more damage than my fighter at level 12, but with the bonus of having to sit there and meditate for hours to get all the mana back to actually do it. Those...
Reading about it, that spot has some of the biggest earthquakes in history.
1737 earthquake which had tsunamis estimated at 66-98ft
1841 earthquake which had a 15ft tsunami in Hawaii, 49ft elsewhere
1951 earthquake 49-59ft tsunami
All estimated to be in the 9.0+ range
Upgraded to an 8.7 now. That's a fucking monster.
It's funny, the other day I was thinking that most of the time tsunami warnings amount to nothing. I believe this one will create a pretty catastrophic tsunami.
Best way to handle it early game is build a wooden chest, plop it on the ground, dump all the shit you don't need immediately, and put a map marker so you remember where it is.
"Interplayer communication" is either yelling in ooc "what the fuck does this item go to?" or going into the Discord and yelling "what the fuck does this item go to?"
Eventually those will be replaced by Wiki entries.
