    I still have no fucking clue what's going on this season.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I didn't play D1, but in D2 I ran the raid one time...and then figured out it was a waste of time. First, I already had most of the raid gear from the clan rewards. But on top of that, most of it wasn't even remotely close to best in slot. So why bother? To collect?

    DOTA 2

    It seems like the whole team was leaving, but Matumba went to bottom rax to start sieging. Had he backed off with the rest of the team, they probably would've won. Everyone was low on mana and basically half health. Then he had shit luck with Beastmaster getting a troll to cancel his rage TP.

    Yeah, that was ridiculous. Liquid got dumpstered in laning phase, and then proceeded to just Miracle invoker the rest of the game.

    Holy shit, that Mineski vs VP best of one was sick.

    Warframe

    I'd say you have to drop a few bucks on it before you're able to get to the point of not needing to spend money. You could probably manage to do it without, but it'd take forever. But yeah, I did about 550 hours into it since November (after Destiny 2). Stopped playing cause I'm burned out...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Nope. Last of Us is another one that I always hear such good things about. But I don't console.

    Cobra Kai

    It seems like they aren't taking themselves too seriously from the first episode. I think that definitely helps. Plus having a different character being the focus instead of Daniel.

    Survivor

    Speaking of Donathan, the look of shock on his face that Jenna lied to him and then also cast the sole vote against him, causing him to waste his idol, was fucking hilarious. It's like the first time a girl lies to you, but in adult form. It was especially great because of the smug look he had...

    Survivor

    What a stupid fucking twist with two separate tribals. Between all the idols and advantages and tribe swaps, this season is falling flat on its face. There's actually a pretty good parallel there with Kellyn where I'm not sure I've ever seen someone blow up their own game so spectacularly with...

    Yeah, Worth a Buy actually did a re-review of the game recently. He said he put auto-aim on and it actually made it more fun.

    I'll just never buy a console again. I wish they'd get around to doing a PC port of it. And ffs I could use a PC release date on this one.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Really hoping another realistic battle royale game comes along soon. I won't ever touch Fortnite because the building aspect is stupid. But I want to play one that has realistic gun play and physics, but also with decent netcode and hit registration. I don't think pubg will ever offer those...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Yeah, on re-reading my post that wasn't really clear what I meant. I imagine it'll come out that every team with cheerleaders probably does some incredibly dubious shit to them.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Posted in the General Forum, but figured it's relevant here. Glad I decided to part ways with supporting the Redskins completely. Sounds like this came about because of complaints from some Dolphins cheerleaders. I imagine in the coming weeks the NFL is going to have another full blown crisis...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I'm just responding to what Talenvor said. I quit after about 3 weeks into the game. You know, where you had to use Discord. But you shouldn't have to use a 3rd party application for communication in a multiplayer game. Worse, they even banned people for using Discord for the first week or two...

    No, Grant is a terrible commentator and I wish they'd stop using him for anything. Granted (ha!), he seems to be better than he was last year, but he's still garbage.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Which...entirely missed the point. A team game where you can't communicate to your team is retarded. So now you can say "Hey, let's group up to do xyz!" And then never talk again. Or never talk to your Clan, which makes those completely useful. Fucking retards.

    Westworld

    Sent him off naked, tied up, on horseback, into the unknown. Generally though I feel like if someone doesn't die on screen, they didn't die. And considering it seems like that retirement party took place after those events, I think he just became pacified.

    Arrested Development

    I figured they had done season 4 that way because of issues getting all the cast together. I feel like it was kind of a failure and really took away from the show. I'm hopeful that the recut makes the story a bit more coherent.

    Westworld

    My first thought was that she was the only human one. I went into that scene thinking Delos Jr. was going to buy the technology and open a park, and that chick whom he seemed infatuated with, would be one of the first robots he made. So he could have "fun" with her. Instead they went with the...

    Seriously, this. I tried watching that Wild, Wild, Country show on Netflix yesterday. 15 minutes in my wife asks me if I'm enjoying it and I'm just like, "Fuck no, no one knows how to tell stories anymore. I'm 15 minutes in and I have no fucking clue what's going on." In fact, I finished the...

    Subnautica

    Finally got back around to reinstalling this. Think I played almost 7 hours on Sunday. Definitely seems more polished than when I played a couple years ago. The storyline definitely helps keep you pointed in the right direction. Edit: Just read the last page. Maybe I need to pay attention to...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I do. I'm fucking tired of walking my dog and having other dogs charge at it. Luckily the only big dog that's done it seemed more curious than anything, but it still makes me nervous. If I ever get a pitbull charging, I'm not entirely sure what I'll do. And unfortunately now my dog has become...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I never got to play them, but I could really go for at least the circle 5+ changes. Last weekend we had so many games we lost because the circle ended up spawning on the opposite side of us, forcing us to cross open terrain usually with no cover and the circle pressing behind us. Meanwhile...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Fucking bizarre changes to the cities that you posted there. Especially after the blue zone changes, which seemed like Bluehole telling everyone "jump hot!" Now we get a patch that basically says, "Stop jumping hot!" Although that patch itself was bizarre because they had also added the lake...

    Retirement Planning Thread

    The answer is it depends. My general advice is it only makes sense to do a Roth if you're in an incredibly low tax bracket right now. The biggest reason for this is that a traditional IRA lowers your entire taxable burden; every single dollar you earn is taxed at a lower rate. A Roth is taxed...

    Which seems incredibly short sighted to me. But I guess that's part of the problem with politicians is they love to deal with the problems 5 feet in front of them and ignore the implications 10 years down the line. Roth's are a pretty shitty deal for the government.

    It's ironic to me that like a week ago people were having hissy fits about how Facebook sold the data that users agreed to allow them to, but there are no issues allowing Amazon access to your house and car.

    Vanguard and Fidelity are currently the two lowest on fees by quite a large margin. Assuming you want to keep everything with one company, I don't see any issue with it. The reason I prefer Vanguard over Fidelity is that Vanguard is owned by the shareholders (*Edit for clarification, it's owned...

    Still pretty sure William (Man in Black) is either the head of the board or someone high ranking in the hierarchy. We even got somewhat confirmation of that when he's wandering back into civilization and the dude in a tuxedo is yelling at him about how fucked up things are, then gets shot in...

    You mentioning 5 kills reminds me that I had a game this past weekend (squads) where I took out an entire team and I felt like I had streamer aim. They were running perpendicular to us, about 200m out, and I fucking nailed almost every single shot. Felt really awesome to just track someone's...

    Keep in mind that Abernathy was one of two hosts I believe (the other being milk guy's sidekick) who were decommissioned after the reverie update in the first episode of season one. Afterwards they "rolled back" the update. So it's possible Abernathy is the only host that still has that update...

    A few years ago I had the same issue. I think I was 31 or 32 at the time. I had been super tired (still am) and the doctor said we should do bloodwork. I said we should add testosterone to it, and the doctor was reluctant to add it. I think I made up some shit about having low libido too just...

    I recommend reading the Stock Series by JLCollins. He's part of the FIRE community (financial independence/retire early), but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to retire early. The advice about what to invest in is good. It'll probably take a few hours to read through it all, but it's...

    About 163 as of this morning. I agree it sounds out there. But I'm giving it a shot as opposed to 1-2 months of smaller deficits.
