I kinda impulse purchased my series X but the fact that my Game Pass games on console cross-save with my PC is awesome and means I am playing more on both platforms than I expected.

I started playing this and thought the intro was great and the first planet kinda sucked? Do you get back to fighting more stormtroopers later on? Fighting a bunch of different kinds of hoppy frogs that 2-shot you really wasn't interesting lol.

Well, I don't have to plow or shovel if that counts. :) I actually drove my car off the driveway so I could shovel easier. I really like the car, it's too bad I really hate driving anywhere there's other people on the road.

I was watching some videos of this and it actually looks pretty good, might re-install after not even looking at this game for 3-4 years now.

Lol came here to post this.

I could have purchased one of those super overpriced 12GB 3080s this week but fuck that.

Do you blame them lol. Not even I want my protagonist to look like Ashly Burch (she's def cute in her own way but not main protagonist material.) Also you can tell from that trailer with the Aloy/Sylens scene that they made a last-minute change to pretty her up a bit: loooooool. Funny...

This shit's all going to zero. But at 0 dollars think of how cheap the gas fees will be.

So, I think I've decided to just re-use my H500. I can't find a better all-around case. I wish it had a 140mm rear fan. A P500A is really the only other option I can see aside from the Torrent, but neither really offers significant advantage.

I bet Microsoft separates Blizzard and Activision into different brand "houses" under the overarching Xbox / Game Pass banner. The classic Blizzard IPs will go back to being Blizzard IPs and not associated with Activision. They may eliminate the Activision branding all together and move COD IP...

If the Politics forum was a country it would be like Haiti but with more AIDS.

Welp, work was too busy to do this so uh, Monday I guess.

Yeah, I think Big P needs a history lesson about the Spanish-American War, McKinley, Hearst, etc. We're certainly reliving a lot of mistakes from that era but it's not a new phenomenon. While there is a lot of consolidation at the top end of the most profitable media outlets, more people have...

I guess I'm just plunking 50k in FXAIX and forgetting about it.

Is this too political for this thread?

FFS. There were 3 TV channels for 3 decades.

But Joe Rogan told me that big media curation is mind control.

It's also really easy to find other stupid people who believe the same stupid shit you do, and therefore reinforces your belief that the stupid shit you believe is actually true. Certain internet forums are filled with kind of thing. Not naming names though.

I don't think so? But only because my 401k, ROTH and HSA contributions together bring my AGI below 125K. But I guess could have fucked up, again...

I already maxed my HSA and my ROTH and clearly did it a little too soon.

Can you at least break down what the theory is behind this tweet? I don't understand gamma expiration. A bunch of sell options are expiring?

And Twitter just crashed. (The website, not the stock. The stock already crashed.)

I'd had window ACs before but they all fucking sucked.

Generally most other top financial institutions try to optimize their datacenters to be as fast and energy efficient as is possible (this is one of the markets AMD's EPYC was specifically targeting) meanwhile Bitcoin is literally the opposite.

LOL WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED, I LOOKED AWAY FROM MY PORTFOLIO FOR LIKE 3 HOURS.

After going through a bunch different contractors trying to get splits installed, I just put in a dedicated circuit for all my PC equipment in my office and put one of these in the window for the summer: Pretty unique design, very quiet for a window unit. However, they really only work with...

So I got a GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS Ultra for 329.99, which is 40 dollars off the list price. I got a Intel Core i7-12700K for $382 which is pretty nice. Wondering if I should just put this in my Cooler Master H500, a perfectly fine case, or just buy a Fractal Torrent...

If you're talking like Neuralink, a device that you can map thoughts to device inputs, I want one now. If you're talking something that goes in the other direction, and pipes input INTO your brain, nope. I don't even put non-work apps on my smartphone.

I was thinking more along the lines of "why make more people if they're just going to grow up to think NFTs are non-fungible stores of value like land?"

Sufficiently autistic people will frequently come to sufficiently autistic conclusions.

The talent system in retail right now is actually a huge improvement over the old one, as they offer real choices between viable abilities useful in different situations. But it took them a decade to get there. The 3 column talent trees started off fucking awful in Cataclysm. Rarely did you...

It was unplayable for me on a controller, but worked great on Mouse/Keyboard, but then I got better at controller afterwards.

I doubt DDR4 prices will go much lower.

The whole "it was a conspiracy to crash the stock price" meme doesn't make any sense because Microsoft is paying 45% above market value.

Well I just impulse purchased CORSAIR 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR5 SDRAM DDR5 5600 because it was up on Newegg. Guess I gotta pick a motherboard...

lol so funny, in the summer I am the first pack of penguins and in the winter I am definitely the one puking.

Meh, I made out really well timing the COVID bottom. Averaged 60% returns that year. I just didn't put as much money in as I could have, and I have even more money to put in now.

That's something completely different that you're talking. That's like Bain Capital-style private equity financial engineering. No shadowy forces tanked Activision/Blizzard "on purpose" because Activision/Blizzard never tanked. The company was very fucking profitable and Bobby Kotick is going...

None of those QOL improvements lowered the overall complexity of the gameplay itself. The content got harder with basically every expac. Some of those QOL improvements lowered certain aspects of logistical complexity for guilds, like letting people roll alts faster or swap roles easier...
