    Keep in mind not everyone during the Great Depression was broke. Similar to 2008. If you didn't liquidate, and were even lucky enough to buy a little during, you came out the other side fucking lambo rich. Edit: Good timing on that ^ post above. You don't "lose" money unless you sell at a loss...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    So that stupid pixelated weapons bug is back, and it basically makes the game unplayable. Not sure why it isn't their top priority to fix it. Was in a game yesterday where I got bought back in, landed, grabbed a gun, and there was a guy who must have also just dropped in. I got the bug...

    That's why no one serious even looks at the DJIA. S&P 500 or Russell 2000 are the only ones that matter.

    You're using Vanguard, so there's no real reason to go with one over the other. Vanguard has a patented process that makes them basically identical.

    It was just more Korean bullshit with super bad RNG to roll for better gear.

    The story is SUPER short. Like 20 minutes. I do like the setting, but I'm not sure what all there is to do.

    Unsolved Mysteries

    Wife watched a bit of it. Only one I caught was I think the 3rd one with the black guy in Oklahoma. Seemed fucking ridiculous. Drunk dude almost certainly drowned but let's spend an hour talking about race relations. Fun stuff. Didn't watch any more after that.

    Ashes of Creation

    The problem I think they'll have is all of these grand ideas have a lot of dependencies on the other grand ideas. So if you don't get one of them implemented, the whole thing just kind of stumbles.

    Dunno, I did PRX for Archeage and it just felt like too much of a job. I'm too old for that shit.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    How many hours of playtime am I going to get out of this if I pick it up without any expansions, before I get tired of grinding? And is solo playable? It's one I've thought about picking up many times over the years but I've just never bothered.

    Far Cry 5

    Never played 5, and Primal just kind of wasn't super fun so I never got that far. But Michael Mando as Vas was absolutely amazing. I imagine he had something to do with convincing Giancarlo to do this. I have high expectations.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    Damn, what a night! 3 wins. Had a 32 kill game as a squad (quads), and one game one of our guys had 17. Also had one where for some reason a bunch of the kills didn't count. Was kind of weird. We had 9 get tallied, but I'd guess 1/3 of the rest weren't doing counting (I ended up with 1, but I...

    Also, SBMM is fucking crazy. We just ran stimulus trios for the first time, and absolutely shit on everyone. 26 kills, all 3 of us up at the end. Meanwhile in quads we get fucking dumped on all the time after about 2-3 games into the season.

    Does melee with weapon do more than fists? I lost one the other day where he two shot me with it after I had punched him 4 times. Not sure if that's legit, or if it was just hit registration being bad on my end.

    It sucks. New season started and we dropped 30-something kills in the first game. Ever since it's try-hards and fucking sucks. We're always in games with pros. Considering we're all a bunch of middle aged men, it's kind of bullshit.

    7 Days to Die

    That got toned down big time. But they really fucked with the AI. Apparently the devs really disliked base building and so now horde nights are just shit shows of always trying to exploit the AI because the devs keep making hordes super intelligent. A19 looks really good graphics wise though...

    Happy White Male Nationalism Day! (4th of July)

    Spare ribs, so I threw the skirt and tips in there. A little over 2 hours, apple wood. Only thing on it is rub (salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, white sugar, dark brown sugar). God damn it was delicious. I fucking can't wait for the ribs now.

    The freighter thing I was instantly soured on when I found out you have to repair your frigates every mission they run. And that means physically landing on it, running around, and repairing every god damn thing...with the added bonus of trying not to fall off. Fuck that. What a dumb shit...

    DOTA 2

    My point being a lot of people watch it for the pro scene. With all this shit, no one's going to want to watch DOTA anymore. And that will spell the death of the game. Pointing out the battle pass for this year when the news is 2 days old is disingenuous. Let's see how the next few majors go.

    Huh, somehow neither my wife nor I felt that 6.0 in Lone Pine. Weird because apparently everyone else in California did. Although...we were both working out, so maybe that's why?

    Haven't found any videos of this earthquake that do a 7+ justice. I was going to say I'm not sure how that happens, but even with it lasting a good 45 seconds I didn't think to record any of the one last year. Just wasn't even remotely on my mind. This is kind of crazy looking though. Edit...

    I have significantly more hours in NSM than Subnautica. But NMS has literally almost no elements of danger. Basically after the first hour or two, things are just annoying versus deadly.

    Reminds me of one of the Zeihan talks he did where he compared how different countries count arrears. The US I think was 30 days. Places like Greece and Italy were like 180 or 270 before being considered late.
