    It's definitely tempting. I just don't have the balls to deal with being a landlord. I wish I did though. I feel like real estate is a better way to make income over equities.

    I think you may be underestimating how long it takes to get to 58.

    We keep losing and our ranking keeps going up. What the fuck? Our squad is around 5k now. This matchmaking system is shit!

    You lose access at lvl 58. But Olvia is also for returning players. Which is why baconlog above is lvl 60 and there.

    Sony Vegas is legit (doing the Movie Maker trial, so not "technically" Vegas). Glad it was mentioned. Thanks Muur!

    Yeah, I knew the price went up, but didn't realize they were capped. I'll be honest, looking at what's available, I don't see why anyone is paying money for them. Pretty much all of it looks like shit. And worse, if people were smart, they'd just buy the item they want directly off the market...

    Thanks for the heads up. Made a quick ~$6 at lunch. Prices are dropping pretty fast though. See streamers with hundreds of thousands of BP. Not sure if it's worth a few hundred bucks to them or not.

    I'm not sure what the quote at the top of that is about; "I could decorate the whole house with my military medals." If that's something Cody said, or just some retarded shit TMZ came up with. But to clarify, he basically got all the participating medals: Iraq/Afghanistan: For deploying GWOT...

    It definitely didn't make them look good, but it sounds like it was significantly worse than what they showed. Kind of disappointing. Feel embarrassed for all of them. And Josh is the worst. He's really a one trick pony, too.

    Poll The Great Telemarketing Avalanche of 2016/2017

    This is almost completely unrelated, but in the Lenny video, the Comcast business rep says they offer 99.95% uptime. That seems pretty shit for a business connection, isn't it? Maybe it's because the only time I've worked IT as a civilian it was for a web based company so any downtime meant...

    Hiking Shoes

    I'm kind of off the hiking boot thing. Trail running shoes are where it's at. They're lighter, and really, the "support" hiking boots/shoes give you isn't really noticeable. Replaced my Merrell's with Salomon trail runners.

    Yeah, Jessica actually seems pretty good at the game, but Cody has absolutely fucked her over (besides the actual fucking). And I really think without Paul and Josh I think it would be a lot more entertaining. Paul, because he's just made the game shit, and Josh because he's a child and just...

    Thank fuck they decided to revert the drag-drop looting change. Sounds like F looting will also be faster now?

    Yeah, I did that one. Turned it in at about 99.95%. It only took me to about 15% into 56.

    Damn, wish I still had access to the Olvia channels. Then again, I haven't had much time to grind. Most of my money lately is coming from processing. I've been at about 30-35% exp for level 56 for like 3 weeks now.

    One million dollars!

    It probably varies by person, but I'm about 3/8 of the way to retirement now, looking at maybe 6 more years. It's already incredibly difficult to give a shit. If I were to get fired, we could probably last 10-12 years. I think for some people that'd be incredibly freeing, but for me it's just...

    This is why I brought up Green Seers though. All the other shit could have a different explanation. But not that. Dire wolves? Just big wolves. Wild fire? Chemical reactions. The wall? Well, technically it's just a wall (ignore the magic) Valyrian Steel? Just a different ore. But Green Seers...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yes, that's what I was getting at earlier. The dragons/comet/white walkers all appeared at once and were supposed to be when magic came back into the world. But that's clearly not the case. So fuck if I know.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was specifically asking about pre-Daenerys' dragons. But I came up with a few examples since then. Magic was definitely a part of the world before then, and not just stories. I feel like there's a bit of a disconnect there still, but I'll look past it mostly because I read the books so long...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's not true. In fact, I've been quite critical of how meandering the writing in books 4 and 5 was. I'm just pointing out that the further we get into this story, the more the plot holes have started to open and logic within the story has fallen apart. Honestly, this show is starting to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're right Scream, I'm wrong about the bad writing. I should attribute more to magic. Like Euron's magical fleet and magical shipyard with magic ship builders.

    It's weird because there was a huge fuss a couple months ago when everyone thought the tab looting was being changed, but it turned out we misread the notes. But now not much talk about it. And I think first person mode should fix some of the sniper issues. When you can't spot from behind the...

    Feel like more shit should work like fences. I had a kill at about 3:30 in this where it works like I think it should. Destructible environment is realistic. And forgive me for the artifacting in my video. Still trying to figure out the whole editing videos thing (going to try out Vegas...

    Dire wolves you just explain as big wolves. That's not magic. The trees is definitely a good example. And since you mentioned those, it did remind me about the green seers. That shit is definitely "magic." Not sure if there was any warging going on south of the wall, but that's a possibility as...

    Such as? The only thing I can think of is the wall, but they just think of it as a wall, not a magic wall. All the other magic shit is post-dragons.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If so, that seems like an even bigger fuck up in writing. "Magic" was supposed to be a fairy tale in their world. It was only when the dragons/meteor/WW's came back that "magic" returned. If they've been using magic ravens for the last few hundred years since magic disappeared, I...I don't even...

    So....you just give the raven directions, like, "Hey, go find a boat with really big sails. It should be in this general direction. Make sure it's the BIG sails though! And they're black with a giant gold kraken. You know what krakens are, right raven?" Man, ravens are really fucking smart.

    I mean, I said the same thing about how Euron ended up going to King's Landing instead of Dragonstone, and Scream jumped all over my shit about how "Cersei invited him." But the motherfucker was on a boat. I guess he gets good cell service in the middle of the Narrow Sea. Honestly, I'm at the...

    I hope the vehicle physics change doesn't mean they fixed things like crashing and rag-dolling the vehicle 300 feet into the air. Because that shit is hilarious. I'm also glad they made it so disconnected players can reconnect. Figured that would've been in a long time ago. Looking forward to...

    Then you're just back to "bad writing" again. "Character says he's going to do X" "Character does the opposite of X, with no explanation as to why" It'd be like if Arya has her scene with the Lannister army and says she's heading to Kings Landing to kill Cersei, and the next time we see her is...

    So I went back to read her plot synopsis, and I guess you're right -- it's just that she's a dyke that I don't like about her I guess. That said, I noticed this from last season, "Euron wins the Kingsmoot by proposing to marry Daenerys Targaryen and help her exact brutal vengeance on the...

    If so, they've really misread everything. Ellaria and Yara are both reprehensible characters. Completely unlikable. Honestly, seeing Ellaria's torture made me like Cersei a bit. Despite all their efforts to portray her as "Darth Cersei" this season.
