    Thanks. Fun with numbers. I'm about 2h15m from Reno. UHaul numbers... I'm looking at both a truck and a trailer, but I'm looking at both because I'm considering taking a trailer load of items out over spring break and putting them in storage. One way trailer from CA to AR: $1,050. Reno: $924...

    If the PS5 will play my PS4 titles quietly it's a day 1 purchase.

    Moving Options

    I'm more worried about the logistics of the move than finding a place. I'm keeping my remote work jobs so there is no salary hit at all. It's just straight California costs of living to Arkansas costs of living. I'm trying to estimate the move cost, but I think I'll have to call a few companies...

    Yep, all over it. Realtor seems to be the one that's used the most in the area I'm looking at, but I also have daily Zillow alerts. The amount of new construction is incredible, so that dominates the report.

    I'm planning my move out of California. I'm going to northwest Arkansas. Has anyone used the big moving companies? I have a family of 5 and a lot of shit to move. We're talking a semi truck or possibly two of the largest u-hauls. It's funny if you put the destination in the uhaul calculator...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    The best way I have found to get to aiming and shooting on a console are GTA games. Fire up GTA5 on PS4 and you should be at least comfortable with it by the end. It has just the right amount of auto aim where you can play the game without being too penalized for being retarded.

    No Man's Sky

    $60 for this game?! I paid $9 and it's worth somewhere between $9 and $20.

    I started playing Firewall Zero Hour again and it’s still great. Not sure why I stopped. The community is mostly older guys so there’s lots of good conversation while playing. Adding 3 people to my friends list per night now.

    I don’t have an Xbox or a gaming pc. I guess this would be a good time to dive in.

    Does the top pop off? What design is underneath? This may be specific to aim controllers, but they have normal size things. I THINK they may be proprietary to aim controllers though. Here's what the connector on the bottom looks like...

    I get a new DS4 each black friday, 3 years in a row now. I also have a fancy aimcontrollers one with paddles that I get a ton of mileage out of. Unfortunately the right stick is starting to drift...

    Yeah, but it was the late 90s and I was hanging out with hippies. I'm not sure what I expected to happen.

    Totally worth getting. You can get thousands of hours worth of good games for roughly $300 at this point.

    Playstation 5

    I'd guess that Bloodborne is the next IP they revisit... that would be an incredible launch title.

    I don’t know man. It’s a new gen console. Everyone is equally likely to trip over their dicks rushing to meet some launch date.

    Borderlands 3

    That's a pretty stupid metric unless BL2 and BL3 use the exact same features for multiplayer. I doubt they have the same features, calling the same APIs, with the same payloads.

    Remnant: From the Ashes

    As far as bugs go, the game was blue screening on PS4 with the patch yesterday. I tried loading in about 5 times and gave up. Looking at the forums today, apparently the problem was with 4k resolution and if I would have thought to set my PS4 to 1080p the game should have worked. The devs were...

    Remnant: From the Ashes

    The only pointer I have at the moment is don’t try him over remote play while working. Too many 180 degree spins for remote play.

    This is pretty good. I picked it up on PS4.

    No Man's Sky

    The resolution is pretty low. It doesn't look great - even the text is subpar, like a Korean MMO from < 2005 with those odd fonts. The experience is good despite the resolution - it should be able to be improved with a texture patch, Skyrim style. I wouldn't wait for that - see if you can handle...

    No Man's Sky

    I'm having a lot of fun with this in VR. I never got into it before. I still don't like the lack of inventory space and having to find fuel to launch the ship more than a handful of times, but the VR stuff makes up for it at the moment.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    WOW the Nintendo transfer process is bad. This is a game system for kids, right? If you have kids, or multiple users, like I do, before you do the trade in MAKE SURE you have a unique Nintendo account for every single user. To transfer from one system to another you MUST have a Nintendo...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I hit a little mud up in the Sierras last week. I spent 2.5 hours pressure washing that shit off once I got home.

    Dauntless - Co-op Action RPG - Ex Bioware devs

    I saw the login queue on PS4 and put this game on hold until that stuff is straightened out. The number of times you wait for 10 minutes to do a solo run should be 2. One additional attempt beyond the first to see if it's a fluke. There are so many other things to do than try to play this...

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

    I have been remote for about a decade. I started in the office and negotiated a few WFH days a week after 6 months. Eventually went to full time remote after I moved out of the area. I actually have two jobs, both remote. My only scheduled hours during the day are 8am-2pm with a break for...

    The Division 2

    I don't understand why the skills are so bad. Perhaps the skills team and the guns team didn't talk for the past 30 months. I don't see any reason to not continue to use the self revive and the chem launcher armor heal forever.

    @Tarrant too - but I usually play The Show a bit after release. I really love the "Road to the Show" mode where you make your own character and you just participate in the plays that you're involved in. The problem is I usually end up at 3rd base and a power hitter with each character. I've...

    I'm only up to level 15, but still having a blast. I love the locations. Here's my hazmat cowboy - sing it to the tune of rhinestone cowboy. It's going to take A LOT for me to change up this outfit.

    I got a cowboy hat in for my first (quest given) apparel crate keys. That pretty much means I'm max level now. Hazmat suit with cowboy hat. Hilarious when I have a mask on.

    The Division 2

    There are some little touches in this game that are exceptional. I only did one grouped mission last night, and yeah the warp to the mission start wasn't working. Instead I warped to a safe house near the mission, and while i was warping it was showing me the map. On the map you could see blue...

    I'm dying quite a bit too, but I think it's because I wanted to try out offensive skills. They are horrible - you want the defensive skills instead, hive and repair drone as mentioned. You can get in over your head quick. I rushed Meat Locker or whatever his name is, the bounty for the first...

    I got in at 9:15pm PST. Smooth early access launch. Did anyone catch the nonsense in the character creator? Not "male" or "female" - no male / female signs. "Choose your body type:" - I thought they meant how fat you were. Nope. Can't say male/female anymore. Here's the sheet again. Putting...
