    Weight Loss Thread

    Also since I said I'd do this in the thread trying to document my weight gain (which is currently failing) this is me just moments ago. I'm still right around 150 which I guess is better than the last picture I posted which was at around 145 (and over 6 years old.) I really could do with going...

    Now that I'm at home I can stare at shirtless men until my heart's content. I don't know if 1 would be on roids. It isn't completely dissimilar to how I look. Maybe a touch bulkier. He could be on the Tenks patented tuna-in-a-can-because-you're-poor diet. Not even 100% convinced #2 is...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You just need to find a girl who doesn't value constant communication too much. Maybe its a rarity these days since everyone is always connected, not sure. Personally I'd be driven batty if my wife constantly called/texted/emailed me and expected fast responses. Shit I get irritated when my...

    Overwatch

    HotS exists a fan service so it makes sense that most of the popular characters will enter that game (Tracer already there.) If they'll explore the IP through other genres I'm kind of with Abe where I doubt it. Blizzard seems to prefer to set expectations where if someone picks up a Diablo...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I should also note we don't really email that often. We send maybe, MAYBE a dozen emails total a week back and forth. I'm going to see her when I get home nothing is that urgent we need to talk now. Usually the emails consist of "Do you need something at the store?" or a thought I had that I...

    I guess the disconnect was we were talking about different phases of the development. I was more focused on resource allocation. I'm sure there are some game designers who do get paid to brood a bit about ideas but I doubt they'd really have any code written just a design outline. AFAIK...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You seem to not understand that people in this thread cannot physically divorce themselves from the source and the adaptation. I can't imagine what they're like watching a "Based upon a true story" movie if they know much about the original story.

    I know the Mad King stashed Wildfire but didn't Tyrion have the alchemist guild make all his Wildfire? Not sure on the shelf life of Wildfire, either

    Overwatch

    I don't think thats the way Blizzard is structured. Your job is tied to a project. So you're a "Starcraft2 engine developer" you only work on Starcraft2's engine. Not Overwatch's and not Diablo. Starcraft. I don't think there is a concept of a generic "Engine Developer." How they form...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Luckily my wife already doesn't care about hallmark holidays so I'm off the hook for Valentines, Sweetest and all that shit I email my wife. We use email because its somewhat tactless to constantly check your SMS in a meeting and if I actually really do need to get ahold of her I want the SMS...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I actually waffled on the card if I should buy one since I didn't for our first anniversary. My reasoning there was because we were in Hawaii so she actually had to pack the card in the luggage simply to give me on the day. She seemed a bit peeved last year I didn't get one so I pulled the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My anniversary was yesterday. I got my wife a card and she didn't get me one. I'm going to lord it over her for a while. Her reasoning was because I didn't get her a card last year she thought we weren't doing cards.

    Mechanical Keyboards

    Like we've said before they all use the same switches. The core guts of the keyboards are all the same. It comes down to build quality, keycap quality and extra electronics features. Keycaps especially is probably the biggest factor since the cost between pad printing vs laser vs dye subs is...

    You can also try tanning. Granted you should be able to see your abs without it but tanning can add a ton of definition to your stomach if it is something you're actually concerned with.

    I don't think anyone here uses a docking station for their mac, either. I just have the VGA converter dongle to broadcast to multiple monitors and plug the shit in. I suppose it may be more convenient than having to unplug/plug in my keyboard, power and audio all the time. Also if you're...

    IMO core exercise isn't a big factor in getting the initial abs showing. I actually do very little core exercise outside of what I get tangentially from my other workouts and I've had my abs showing since the 8th grade. My old room mate worked out more than me and did seemingly endless core...

    Overwatch

    I disagree. I view this game almost more as found money. Titan could have either been scrapped 100% or they could have spent a year or so trying to salvage some parts of it. If OW fails (which it won't its going to sell truckloads) I don't think it'll bankrupt ActiBlizz because the losses...

    Its like $100. I just bought one for myself instead of trying to jump through the hoops of trying to get the office to cover it. In fact if they heard how loud the MX Blue switch is they'd probably pay me to NOT buy it.

    The actual switches are cheap. Like lanx said. Where the expense comes in is in the build quality, key cap quality, electronics, country of origin, etc etc. And I suppose "gamer" and mechs have become somewhat synonymous but mostly because you can get the PCMR fags to open up their...

    The biggest reason many companies are going away from Cherry is because of the RGB LED backlighting. Cherry switches by nature aren't designed well for it because of the central stem. Personally I hate backlighting so none of the newer style switches really appeal to me anyways. I prefer...

    My first apartment after college was across from a bunch of Indians. When they'd open the door from their all day cooking of what smelled like boiled feces you'd see sleeping bags and shit all over the living room. It was a 2BR 2BA apartment and I swear at least 8 people lived in there.

Pretty soon more people will realize the Forbes name has lost all credibility so linking from a Forbes URL...

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    I know its my experience so YMMV (and a new build) but I've probably only put maybe $2k into my house since moving in 5 years ago. That may end shortly since I may need to rehab the back patio, though.

    What do you mean variety for the blacks? Blacks are marketed pretty heavily as a "gamer" switch so there is a pretty big swath to choose from these days. Although it seems more and more some of these companies are putting out proprietary switches for marketing buzz to differentiate...

    I guess it isn't completely dumb but it seems weird to give away WoW if you buy a ticket to the Warcraft movie. Is anyone really going to see that movie, be unaware of what WoW is, and be dying to try it out for the first time? Not to mention since WoW is ancient the CGI of the movie may set...

    It also depends where the body likes to store fat. If it stores it in the gut right overtop your abdominal muscles it is really hard to get them showing.

    In the books didn't she have dreams from Drogon's POV almost like the Starks with their dire wolves? I always just kind of thought of the Dragons as Dany's dire wolves. She can't control them directly (I know, I know) but they do have a deep bond and can sense danger.
