    New World

    I tried out a build doing life staff and hammer, with heavy armor. That's essentially what it is. Pull everything, stand in circle, and hack it all down with the hammer. Full hp when you're done. Fire staff is int.

    My worry was more because if I'm all in on focus, my 2nd weapon will do shit damage.

    Makes sense. I kept seeing streamers talk about how they were level 15-16 at 15-16 hours in. I'm like...what the fuck? I got there in 7 or 8 hours and I fucked off gathering for most of it.

    Not sure if anyone can answer, but I kind of want to play life staff, but I'm worried I won't even be able to solo the PVE content. Is that retarded? It seems good up through level 16, but I think everything is kind of weird up through 20.

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    I'll complain then. How could it possibly be that a world exists where they unleash fucking hell on New York City of all places, and their relatives somehow don't know who they are? That seems a bit ridiculous. That'd be like if Sully Sullenberger had saved the city on 9/11 and somehow his...

    New World

    According to the comments, they scrapped that system entirely and that's not what New World is anymore. I don't have enough experience or understand really what he was saying to dispute that though (and maybe it's because I haven't PVP'd yet). I will say his comments about PVE seem true though...

    I told my wife though, the higher this runs up, the less a correction hurts. 10% from yesterday's close versus 10% from say, March, are vastly different.

    New World: Survey & Info

    Fuck, I wish I knew the answers for myself. I'm pretty neutral between Syndicate/Marauders. Will be on US East. I may end up poopsocking if my retirement lines up with this. And class is something I waffle on over and over. I want to try out as many as possible on the beta but it's hard to do...

    I read something that said if you do full heavy armor and just dump the shield you come in at medium. Not sure if anyone can confirm that. But if you're not doing sword and board, there's no reason to carry the shield around. And it counts against your armor weight.

    Home buying thread

    I think I mentioned previously that we had been looking at new construction. It was super bizarre, the new construction (at least from this one company) was selling at basically the same or even slightly less than 20-30 year old homes. So we'd look at a re-sale home and just be like, "this is...

    Home buying thread

    Yeah, I've been seeing houses sit for a long time. Also a couple that we went to see and thought were overpriced that got pulled from the market completely. I think a lot of people got super greedy, and I'm glad people are telling them to get fucked.

    Yes? (well, it's closed, but whatever) Are you saying because it's a beta, we should expect the servers to go down every day to address instability? I mean, I suppose I could buy that. The goal of a beta is to fix shit that's messed up. But in this case, server instability should be one of the...

    So the servers are down again for maintenance to deal with "server instability." Seems like they've done this almost every single day and it's done fuckall. I'm a bit concerned here how they can't seem to get a handle on this, considering it's Amazon.

    What is "homebuyer confidence?" Anyway, seems like good news for me. I really wanted to be in the closing process by now, but since we aren't, maybe we won't have to pay as much.

    Dexter: New Blood

    I went back to look at what happened to this show. Wow, I didn't even realize the show ran for 8 seasons. I think I mostly quit during or after season 3, and kind of half asses 4 as it seemed a bit ridiculous. That it still ran another 4 seasons after that is insane. Similar to how I saw that...

    The Netflix Thread

    I don't know why Kevin Smith gets so much praise in general, like he's some kind of savant at directing. Yes, Clerks was a funny movie. Then he made a few more versions of Clerks that weren't quite Clerks. He's a piece of shit. Stop worshipping him.

    Like all things real estate, it'll be heavily local. I think places like Texas and Florida won't see any change due to the influx of people. A big city that was already overpriced and had a mass exodus like New York though? They're totally fucked. Their housing market might implode.

    New World

    Yeah, I'm having about the same thoughts. With the weapon stuff though, on the plus side, you can always change. And at least up til 20, it's free to respec. Not sure what it costs after. I like life staff too, but it seems like you'll gimp yourself hard as fuck if you ever want to solo.

    So I decided to preorder last night and try it out. Liked what I saw so far. My big complaint for when this launches is one someone mentioned the other day, but how do you guarantee you start in the same place as your friends? Seems like it'd fucking suck to be thousands of kilometers away from...

    Seems like a lot of YouTube reviews are coming out now, and it doesn't sound like anyone really likes it. It really seems like it's a stopgap to play anything until something better comes out.

    That PVP encounter sounds like shit. So basically you're saying you rolled up on some dude and stunlocked him until he was all but dead? That sounds like a blast for the other guy. This is why PVP is generally terrible.

    Wow, yeah, fuck this show. I'm out. They've lost the magic. This show isn't good anymore. 5 episodes and they were all pretty shit. And last season had what, 2 good episodes? Not worth the time anymore.

    Well this shit is hard to watch. I believe it's the first show since they introduced the 50% "BIPOC" nonsense.
