    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    What's the cutoff then? So because I can afford it, should I pay $100? $200? I mean, I wouldn't want to miss out on the rush of...what exactly? I'm glad you mentioned Call of Duty. Played the shit out of CoD MW with friends a few years ago. When MW2 came out last year, I was a bit reluctant to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I wouldn't have paid retail price for Diablo 2 in 2000, either. Friends who are playing are enjoying it, but they said it's probably not worth it for $70 either. And I can easily afford it. But I'm also not a sucker.

    Enhancing my own Fallen God just cause it's so infrequently sold. I agree with you otherwise. And TET Distos are like 24 million.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I probably would've bought it for $30-45. Not really interested in double that for an ARPG.

    19 attempts to get Fallen God DUO to hit. Which is almost 3 times the average. Wiped out years of memory fragments, caphras, advice of valks, and hard/sharps. This game fucking sucks donkey dick sometimes. Anyway, I've got 14.5b burning a hole in my pocket. Can't decide between Vells...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Yeah, went ahead and watched this the other day because of all the comments in this thread. I'm assuming it's because everyone must have young children that they liked it so much. It was okay, but not really worth my time.

    Pest Control

    For ants, use this shit. Mix 1-2 ounces with water in a sprayer. Spray your baseboards aiming for the gap between it and the floor. Spray around the outside of your house (I go about 3 feet up). It's the kind of stuff pest control companies use (anything -thrin). Once it dries, it's safe for...

    Overall that entire last season was a a let down. Seems like they just wanted everything wrapped up and had no clue how to do it, so they went super convoluted with it. The show also lost the comedy for the most part. I don't want to say the season was bad. Just...not what I expected.

    I can't imagine spending "house money" (amount) on a townhome. I already hate that my current house is only on a quarter acre. Like, if you're going to spend that much money, at least it'd be nice to not share a wall with someone else.

    Thought this was neat, and you all would like it since some of you simp so hard for her. Not sure why she had to lie about getting in trouble. This completely looks sanctioned.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    Holy shit, this thing is over 2 hours long, too? Drinker points out that the original was just 82 minutes. This one is almost an hour longer, with an identical story.

    Like I said. Although we don't live in Navarre, but close enough. It's going to be a shit place to live in a decade as every article keeps telling people to live here.

    I think a lot of the beach towns are like that, mostly as a relic of where they came from and now new development as people flock to the areas. For instance, I've mentioned my in-laws have a place in Orange Beach, Alabama. It's a single wide trailer on a double lot that they bought for like...

    I never got into the game. Think I got to the first little town, did a few missions, and it never grabbed me. Not even sure how many years ago that was.

    Black Desert

    My spring season one was the dumbest horse ever. Think it was at 11 skills at level 15. Forechop coupon'd it, and it didn't learn a single skill all the way to 30. I'm mostly annoyed that I got a 2nd dine (first was at 24 attempts, years ago). I really, really wanted that arduanatt. Guild said...

    Trained that T8 horse from season. Got it to courser by level 15 I think. Figured I'd try for an ardunautt with all these free materials that have piled up that they keep giving away. Fucking 2 tapped it, and got another dine.

    Helm is caphras level, gloves and offhand are jetina (reform level 4). I haven't been grinding much lately. Like I said, I finished up my infinite HP pot and then basically did carrack shit almost exclusively. When I was doing Ronaros though, I was getting in generally 1-2 hours per day. I...

    Not sure what my next step should be. I haven't really done any farming since finishing my infinite pot. Currently with about 6 billion silver. I know the recommended one is a Vell's, but I'm really hoping one finally just drops. I kind of paused doing AP upgrades since I was at super low DP...

    Probably about two weeks. Cobalt was super easy. It's the brilliants that suck. The combat artifacts aren't great either, but I was averaging 3 a day from barters at 3k. 5111 actually would make it insanely fast to get brilliants, but getting there from 3k takes a while. Guildie recommended...

    Yeah, the rocket thing seemed like a callback to when the show was a comedy. I laughed. This whole thing is very confusing though. Hopefully it starts to come together soon.

    It's funny, because my usenet provider price went way up this year, and I asked my wife if we should renew. She said no. I'm inclined to agree. For the most part, I just get annoyed when I watch TV nowadays. I don't even bother with movies anymore.

    I picked this up last week and watched the first five episodes. I've enjoyed it so far, but definitely became worried that it'd be one of those LOST type shows where you just spin around in circles without anything happening. Skimming recent posts, since I don't want to spoil anything, makes it...

    Pro tip, the new Magnus 2nd puzzle is easily done with a Lahn. Had 30 seconds to spare. Just fly over the gaps. For the first one, you don't need to stand on the circle, which helps so you can see everything.

    The Netflix Thread

    Seems like it would've been smart had they timed it around some big content release. Maybe they don't have that anymore though. Seems like the only thing I ever see is some race swap historical show. Netflix needs to just die.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    It's amazing what happens when you leave the bubble of what qualifies as "racism" in the US. The correct lesson might have been to acknowledge just how coddled blacks are in the US. Although considering how innocuous the comment was, there's no way she'd make the connection.

    I can't remember if this is the thread people were talking about credit scores, but it seems the most likely. Anyway, my wife checks hers regularly and she did it today and despite no changes to anything (it actually says this), her score dropped 18 points. The reason? We aren't paying our...

    Collecting Movie Again

    I usenet that shit. Wife and I had a DVD collection that kind of disgusts me in retrospect (close to a thousand maybe when we combined them?). I gave those companies enough money for a lifetime.
