    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    From the sounds of it, don't you lose half if you die, period? So there is some cost to staying till you get dropped by the Eye of the Jailer debuff?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What?!? No, didn't you just read, I get to stealth in and ambush low health Horde until they rage quit, while never gaining stacks of the debuff. So, much better than islands!

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Free to play weekend started today and will end on Nov 8. If you are planing on playing Shadowlands, this allows you to get UI set up, and push back resubbing till the day of release.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What if I told you there was an addon you could run in WoW, while you were busy shitposting on FoH or out baking a pretty cake, that would make the game completely free (for you) to play?

    The Astronomy Thread

    I imagine yall have looked around for options at some point, but microwave internet seems to be growing at a steady clip in the rural areas. Have you recently checked for "fixed wireless" ISPs in the area? A quick search gave me Rise Broadband as the largest fixed ISP in the US, but they aren't...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Last movie I saw in a theater was the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) movie. It was so bad that it left me traumatized and I haven't been in a theater since.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Nice, that saved me some time. I was wondering about the lag, so, I was in the midst of looking up all the old sats (Huges Net) and new sats (Starlink) to see about latency, as you posted that. To add a little bit to what Starlink/SpaceX is planing: There are currently 895 satellites in orbit...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    A Miata? For a real answer, one would probably need: a price range (what you would like to spend and max you would ever go) can it be used? if used is ok, are you ok dealing with a private seller (because it will be cheaper if you take the time to do the homework)? The current Challengers are...

    Didn't feel like unblocking Instagram or allowing flash on that site, so looked for it on Youtube. Nothing funny about it, or interesting really, but here it is if anyone else wanted to see it.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I think it was just the children of alcoholics that did that. When my cousin (who has fetal alcohol syndrome) was a kid, he would go around finishing the abandoned beer and mixed drinks, at the big family parties we had (St. Patrick's day). He was around 10 the first time he was caught doing it.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Not sure if serious, but... The Miata is purportedly one of the best entry level track cars. It is cheap to purchase, maintain, fix, and upgrade. A 2000 lbs curb weight and 50/50 weight ratio help to mitigate understeer or oversteer by driver error. It has enough horsepower to have fun in the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It is part of the whole world wide release thing that they have done for 3 xpacs now. The old midnight EST release was just as bad, if not worse. Now, you can get a few hours of play time in and not totally fuck up your next day at work. They also addressed one of the main objection, in that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wouldn't it be great for those dungeons to actually be challenging, and to play with people you know and talk to through discord? Guess what, they are max level and don't want to level yet another alt. They also want you to be raid ready as soon as possible, so you can start raiding with them...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    If you can wait, wait, for you will almost always have a better experience with a full release, on any game. If you are too hyped to wait, then the EA is still good, as far as EAs go (it is alpha state). As for the state of the Act 1 alpha: The game world looks 90%+ complete, and will probably...

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    All New York and New Jersey people are weird and/or scummy to the rest of the country, brah. Only Florida man has a worse rap, and that's probably due to all the New York migrant blood that has tainted the state.

    The Good Lord Bird

    Be warned, this show is purportedly almost entirely fiction posing as some historical drama. Once it has been out for a while, I am sure there will be whole write ups, by historians, on how wrong they get the history. I'll wait until I can read a few of those, before I possibly waste my time...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It is hard to tell what salts are used where, without looking up every jurisdiction, since there are various de-icers available (corrosive ones seem to be the cheapest). Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) was listed as the most corrosive and what is often used in some New England states. Since you live...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    40,000 miles in 5 years probably means it was a daily driver. I would not knowingly buy a used car that had be driven in winter salt slush, which Denver has a lot of. If you aren't going to keep it for more then 5 years, the extra wear that salt causes might not become an issue, though. As for...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hard to tell who will be OP as current DPS standings mean fuckall for level 60 balance and everyone will have different opinions on what specs are most fun to play. Although, most can agree that Windwalker and Feral will, most likely, be shat upon for another whole xpac. The best leveling spec...

    Bullshit, they have as many or more people with comorbidities. The majority of the population of China is working on a serious case of smokers/black lung.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    AFAIK, DH and DK no longer have a requirement to play one, and they start at level 8, but still in their own intro area. As for cross server stuff, the only thing that is blocked is Mythic raiding, but you can still do Heroic and Normal raids with anyone, of the same faction.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Like everything else, Arena will be in shambles until season 1 of Shadowlands starts and it is hard to tell the state of PvP until people are playing it at 60. That said, you should be able to stay competitive in the mid tier of PvP by just doing PvP, but if you wanted to be in the top 5%, you...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Starting from your other post, between a Classic and a modern Lotus; I wouldn't think of a full restored classic car as a performance vehicle unless it is in a straight line. You buy them for looks and there are a ton of nice looking old cars. Take your time to find a handful of models you think...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I would also watch The Road Warrior first, as it is the most like Fury Road and, as Joot says, they are all only loosely related. Off hand, I cant think of a single plot point outside of a dude driving a car in Australia, that are common among the 3 old movies.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I dont care enough to install the PTR, but a few hours for a full set wouldn't be terrible and I might do it for 1 or 2 toons. Still, I would have preferred to just make the item level 87 gear from mats sitting around in the bank, and skip the event altogether. Here is part of the Wowhead...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It's a true alpha and they only let you play the first 1/3 of the game with about half the base classes, of which less than half (?) the sub-classes, are implemented. There are bugs, crashes, and NYI item, but they aren't all that distracting. They wont be adding the second or third maps to the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The first toon I level should have better than item level 87 gear, so, I don't give that many fucks about it. My response was more to the fact that they spent the time retooling the system, for nothing, and Cringe acting like you can just log in and buy BFA raid gear for alts without farming...

    Wowheads write up says that you need to do the invasion shit to get currency for the vendor shit, so no, I cant just log on and outfit 6+ alts with better gear.

    Never really thought about it before, now that the gays can get married, they can do cuckold porn too. Congratulation on finding a new kink, I guess. Also, this show looked terrible, from the start, so meh.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I dont give a fuck about some shit Scourge event. I had planed to resub, at most, a week before the xpac, to get UI straight and make ilev 87 gear for alts to level in (since the level 50 - 55ish quest gear will probably be in the item level 50 - 100 range)

    Star Trek: Discovery

    *The second half of the first season of Discovery is watchable. The second season made me hate every character, the writers that wrote them, the director that directed them, and the actors that played them. Fuck that show.
