    Guarantee a lot of it was also overbids that had an appraisal gap they couldn't cover.

    Hellraiser

    They really are reaching at this point. The first 3 Hellraisers are amazing, and the next 100 cover about anything you could possibly hope to see in the universe. What on Earth makes execs think there is a need, or that there is even any room, for a reboot?

    I picked up a used 10GB 3080 for $550 a few weeks ago. Deals are out there to be had. They might go lower in a few months, but I'm not convinced that is 100% so I jumped on it. I was able to unload my 20 month old 3060TI for $400 as well, so I consider the whole thing a giant win.

    Good thing he didn't believe his own point enough to stop that abomination of a bill, right? Right? I'm just waiting for Bronco stock to catch up to demand so that they are stupidly expensive.

    I've found that I greatly prefer grass fed/finished ground beef, but any whole meat cuts I greatly prefer grain finished for the quality and taste of the fat.

    Path of Exile

    I have given this game quite a bit of shit over the last few years for the stupid shit they've done, so I have to give them props when they do something overwhelmingly good. The unique updates that I've seen so far look excellent. It looks like they've finely decided to make them a whole lot...

    You are a giant illiterate moron. The post immediately preceding the one you quoted specified that for the last several months I have averaged a 40 minute lifting session every 3 days. Before that, nothing because I was too busy. I fucking love playing basketball but life has stopped me from...

    I'm a giant fan of exercise. I love lifting and playing sports. You're right, there is a positive caloric effect for exercise but it is a miniscule factor compared to diet. The human body is a stupid efficient machine when it comes to burning calories for activity and that means that the vast...

    The type and quality of food you eat matters. I guarantee that if you did eat as much as you want with just meat and eggs you would see a massive difference.

    You are a certified retard if you read my last three posts and decided "He thinks CICO is wrong". I have stuffed myself with as much meat, eggs, and dairy as I can eat nearly every day for more than a year now without gaining a single pound all while averaging a single 40 minute weight training...

    Lately, the most successful diet experiences I've had are when I spend the entire week eating nothing but meat, eggs, full-fat dairy, and fruit. No counting of any kind. Just eat as much as I want of all of those things, a few days including eating a full third of a watermelon after shoveling...

    Why do you have a hard time believing it? What essential things do carbs provide that can't be obtained from less carb-heavy resources? I probably agree that zero to very low carb is probably not optimal long term, but it is certainly super-effective short term and, while sub-optimal, appears...

    Please stop listening to the "LoL, it's just calories in vs calories out' people. It is a tautological argument. Of course it is about calories in versus calories out because it has to be, that is the mechanism of weight loss. That is like saying the amount of water in a sink is all about how...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    If you are undervolting an EVGA card and have worse temps then you anticipated, make sure all of your fans are spinning. Just using Afterburner only 2 of my 3 fans were spinning so I had to install EVGA's PrecisionX1, ensure all 3 fans were spinning, then return to Afterburner and set my fan...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    As much as I hate to admit it, the no ads triple pack for $20 a month is pretty solid. I already pay for no ad Hulu at $13 and D+ under the 3 year deal was $3, so only paying $4 more even after the pumped the prices and getting ESPN+ along with it is not bad.

    The Boys

    Homelander is a god among the supes, though. The comic was still plenty compelling when the boys could stand toe to toe with medium strength supes while still having to connive around the most powerful ones.

    The Boys

    Okay, after this season it has to be said. While the idea of having all the boys remain normies is interesting in theory, the show suffers greatly when they aren't all supes and season 3 proved that beyond a doubt. The best parts of the season were Butcher and Hughie going toe to toe with...

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    Pirating is about the goddamn principle of it all now. Everyone won with OG Netflix. The subscribers got tons of content, the content owners got a nice cut, and the middleman did an actual service for both and deserved its cut. But everyone got greedy and thought they could out-Netflix the...

    This is nearly exactly what I said, while Misty is saying that the 4070 will beat the 3090TI. I'd love to be wrong and and for the 4070 to mop up everything that currently exists on a 350W power draw, but that seems so ludicrous given the power draw of the current gen and the rumors that power...

    I have a 15 year old Swissgear laptop backpack that is heavy duty with steel reinforced handles. Got my company to buy it for work travel and it was a $90 bag back then. $250 seems... excessive. ***EDIT*** This appears to be the one I have, most likely slightly updated from 2007...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    What Pyros said above, but I'd like to add that Dark Souls 1 is basically a master class in world/level design. You don't get fast travel until more than halfway through the game, but every single place you go is connected to other parts of the world which makes traversing it much faster than...

    I can't imagine the world these people live in. Like, it is a fucking imaginary character. Why would the physical characteristics of the voice actor for a make-believe character matter in even the slightest way in non-clown world? It's like saying we have to have McGruff voiced by @Ossoi...

    Whelp, the miner dropped his price on 2 EVGA XC3 Ultra's to $550 each so my buddy and I each grabbed one. Already registered mine and it still has 16 months left on the warranty. Put it through its paces and everything is running exactly as it should be, so I'm pretty happy at this point. Now...

    It's the best because it is literally the most horrific, racist shit in the entire show and, given the tweets from Kripke, it seems completely lost on him that having individual "racist" characters (Soldier Boy, Stormfront) isn't nearly as disgusting as a whole mega-corp wholly endorsing...

    Saying that it is overdue implies that it is a necessity. Regardless, I don't disagree with you that interesting GTA stories exist with a female protagonist. As soon as a studio starts talking about "representation" and "equity", though, you know that it has nothing to do with exploring...

    It's not controversial, it is a stupid fucking take. Who gives a shit what the race/gender/species of the goddamn one-shot character is as long as the game is fucking good? That is the whole fucking point. You trying to inject the necessity of gender equity into a game that rose to fame on...

    First, I never argued about representation. I said that no significant portion of this board full of the hardest core gamers on the fucking planet ever avoided a good game simply because of the gender of the main character until the great pandering began, and even after that point we still...

    Guy on Facebook in my area is selling a load of 3070 and 3080s. He's told me he'd do $600 a piece for the EGA FTW3 10GB and another of the 3080s. He also says they are all still under warranty as he hasn't claimed the any of them based on their serial numbers. I'm super tempted to do this...

    There is literally no evidence that excessive red meat will kill you any faster than excessive sugar or excessive anything else. All evidence to the contrary is made up of data relying heavily on food questionnaires that are hopelessly confounded. Additionally, there is no evidence that there...
