    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The fact that the business unit for what was considered 2 niche hobbies 10 years ago is now so profitable that investors want it to be spun off from Hasbro, because it is absolutely crushing the profits of the rest of Hasbro combined...

    Flesh and Blood

    With only paper cards there's no way to learn how to play this game if you don't live near any gaming stores, and the past few years has not been kind to B&Ms.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem is that it is very effective when done consistently. WotC started advertising MTG and D&D with a bunch of hipster fake-nerds and streaming influencers and other such people who actually bathe daily, instead of their core audience who were allergic to girls, manners, and soap, and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's because it kinda sucks. Can't blame people for speaking the truth. I don't understand who Shadowlands was supposed to appeal to. It wasn't particularly good for casual, core, or hardcore players. I don't understand the target audience.

    Should I buy a 3080 TI FE? In my cart right now. How much do you think I could get for a 3080 FE that I already have, one of the OG ones, no LHR or anything garbage like that?

    Yes, we're fucking spoiled. The Euro and the Yen are both totally fucked and we're throwing a tantrum about 1 quarter of regression to the mean in GDP and some elevated inflation. We have things so good here in the US that I've lost interest in either side constantly claiming that things are...

    This is a buy signal. It means the Fed will back off a bit.

    Meanwhile: We all shit on the Fed, but it's clear that doing dumb things like engineering a mild recession to keep the dollar strong is the whole reason the Fed exists.

    Yeah, but that's regular smoker shit. The way smoker shit gets into tiny components with small fans on them is something else. The video card was completely ruined, it could not be cleaned. It had one of those small blower coolers that were common back in the day and it basically looked like...

    Friend of mine in college brought over his computer, he smoked a lot of pot at his desk and also those weirdo hippy cigs with the Indian on them. Wanted me to fix it. It was so fucking gross. Just so unbelievably fucking gross.

    That would work for some things but it would never work for things like TLS SIP trunks. Telecom/unified communications/contact centers are just a really weird beast to deal with because you're always dealing with systems that are a hodgepodge of garbage products from 6+ different vendors, plus...

    I kinda wanna build a Fractal Torrent Nano, but I wouldn't call that SFF because it has a fullsize PSU. If I could find the parts for MSRP I probably would already. ITX X570 board. 5700X 6800 XT. Already have a PSU and some good DDR4 RAM.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They are supposedly fixing this in the expac, only half (4) of the dungeons will be in M+ each season and the other 4 will be older expac dungeons with retuned loot. And then the next season it'll be the other half of the dungeons in M+ and then 4 different old dungeons. But uh, too little too...

    Except this doesn't happen in WoW until you reach absurdly irrelevant key levels, like 28+. Anyone who's not retarded playing any class or spec can do a +15 which is all you need for progression.

    I fucking loved that movie. And yes, that was literally peak hotness for ScarJo. So you had super-hot ScarJo, McGregor playing a really likeable protagonist, and Sean Bean dies at the end. What's not to like about this movie?

    Yes, 100%, abandoned content is the real reason WoW sucks. They have this vast world and over a hundred dungeons, but less than 1% of the content is relevant at any given time.

    Getting close. All current gen controllers, including popular 3rd party stuff like 8BitDo. But what I'm actually referring to is the fact that the keyboard has a USB-C connector on the keyboard itself, rather than a hard-wired cable.
