    Sounds like you got hit with what we had in California this past weekend. We went camping in Barstow thinking the weather would be nice. Was miserably windy. Couldn't do shit.

    The Division 2

    That's pretty much what clans in Destiny 2 were. Just a way to get extra loot. Hell, you couldn't even communicate in game with anyone!

    The Division 2

    So far I don't think I've seen any negative criticism of this game. Kind of surprised because based on the beta I was just kind of meh on it.

    The RLM video covered this video, but my impression is that she's just a giant cunt.

    The Division 2

    Pre-load = beta client? Or is it a separate pre-load? Generally I feel like you need to download the whole game again after a beta, but it felt like the massive size of the beta download was the full client already.

    Mortal Engines (2018)

    My biggest complaint was that it was just super fucking lazy. They didn't explain shit. For instance, introducing random ass characters that are super important to the plot like 30 minutes from the conclusion. It was also all over the place. That may have worked for books, but stuff like undead...

    I'll be on PC too, but we'll have a group of 4. Not sure if it'll be like an MMO where if I do stuff without them, I outlevel them and it makes it not fun for anyone.

    Yeah, Southern California was fucking cold this year. January and February I feel like only had a day or two that wasn't cold as shit. It was pretty miserable.

    Investing General Discussion

    The boomers aren't close to retirement, they're already there. The youngest baby boomers were born in the early 60's and are now in their mid-50's. The rest are in their 60's and 70's already. But with the oldest millennials entering their late 30's, I'd guess it's a pretty equal replacement...

    It's weird, I had no bugs or anything in the 4-5 hours I played the closed beta. In open beta I've been stuck in the geometry and crashed in less than an hour of play. Not good.

    Their thing says it doesn't work for pre-orders, but I've also read that for a few people that it did work. So who knows?

    Free Solo (2018)

    Kind of surprised there wasn't a thread for this one. I maybe saw something in the Documentary thread about it, but seeing how it won an Oscar, I feel like it deserved a stand alone. I had actually seen Alex in a van life video several months ago not knowing who he was (reference the Grape...

    Yeah, guess I should've clarified PC. I can't really follow what the fuck all this Steam trading shit or whatever is, so I'm thinking GMG is the cheapest at $53.99?

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Wife was watching some show on Netflix with Billy Baldwin and I heard this song and really liked it. Reminds me a lot of Band of Horses. Took a while to find.

    Glad this was fixed. Is the whole getting outside cover better now? It was super annoying that you almost felt "stuck" to something as soon as you hide behind it. Same with the menu system. Did they fix all the double clicking shit? That was super annoying.

    The Netflix Thread

    So I've been thinking about this since this post, and I'm fairly convinced at this point that the parents in both families were part of a sex child ring or something similar. It's just that most people can't grasp that kind of evil and so we just buy into them being the dumbest parents on the...

    Two seasons ago I said I was done with Survivor. But for some reason I decided to give last season a shot. And it didn't disappoint. I was kind of thinking the show had bought itself another season or two of redemption for myself. But fuck, this one has my two least favorite things; returning...

    Not sure if it's the same issue, but I had something that sounds similar yesterday. It kept giving me an error that the "Party was not ready" when I was solo queue'ing, but I think in an out of the way place where I didn't see it. Restarted and it went away. Was a weird one.

    So I get a constant micro-stutter whenever I'm jumpmaster. Made a post on Reddit but got no responses. It doesn't impact any of the rest of the game. The problem is that it also impacts my team, but only for the jump. If anyone else is JM, no issues. I've tried turning down a bunch of video...

    I actually learned something new today regarding the parties. In 1908, Taft and Roosevelt split because Roosevelt became a progressive and didn't like the conservatism of the Republican party. He ended up splitting the Republican votes by forming the Bull Moose party, allowing perhaps the worst...

    Ha! That's where my wife turned it off. I wasn't really feeling it when you had the dyke from SNL I think and her Asian girlfriend in the very first scene. I could see where it was going already at that point. And then the very next scene was some guy ranting about Trump. The premise in the...

    I've got to imagine he'll be done with the game soon. I can't imagine he's enjoying just shitting over everyone else. Like, right now he's only using the Wingman just to see if he can. And he's...shitting all over everyone with it. Even from like 300 meters away. Where's the fun in that? And...
