    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, mine did too. Went and downloaded a different copy which was basically the Euron shit. Anyway, man, everything at Dragonstone was cringe. I was anticipating coming in this thread saying that and getting a rash of shit from people defending it. Glad everyone else thought the episode...

    I heard John Heard died.

    Honestly, this is more like Home Alone 2. Except a motel instead of Ritz. Just need a Trump appearance to complete it.

    It's weird, because I swear I've seen game companies get in trouble for having what essentially amounts to p2w stuff where it's a gamble. Because eventually it gets close enough to actual online gambling that, at least in the US, the government finds it unacceptable. This game seems to be in...

    Had a squad game (3 of us) yesterday where we got absolutely fucking loaded. Everyone had level 3 out the ass, 4x and 8x scopes, tons of ammo, suppressors on all the guns. We saw 2 vehicles pass us far enough away that we couldn't hit them. Finished the game 3 vs 1, and the last guy remaining...

    Been playing it about a month, and man is enchanting frustrating as fuck. In the 30's on two chars for FS. Not really sure what I want to do with em yet. Was trying to TRI my green awakening, but I'm thinking that's kind of a waste. But bosses are such a crap shoot. One, to even be on when they...

    Hadn't heard of this at all, but the first 30 seconds of that trailer really seemed like perfection...as far as trailers go. Considering it seems you all are liking it so far, I may check it out.

    Feels like you're spreading yourself very thin. I think we spent a week in Zion, then went to Bryce for a few days, and decided instead of heading over to Arches we wanted to go back to Zion. Also found plenty to do to spend 2 weeks in Yellowstone. 1-2 nights in Glacier, however, might be enough...

    Kind of feels like the Iron Bank was written by some fat old dude who had no understanding of how banking actually works. Iron Bank isn't a very well run bank. It seems like he was going for a whole "Rothschild's funding both sides of the war" thing, but in this case it would end with the...

    Honestly with this game, if you get 3-4+ kills it kind of feels like "winning." Getting an actual chicken dinner win is like a completely different euphoria. Like you've conquered the world.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Wow, yeah, for some reason I had been thinking Dragonstone was further south towards Dorne. The fact that it sits at the entrance to the inlet that leads to King's Landing makes it a massive choke point for the city.

    Maybe that's how you truly become a "Faceless Man?" You have to settle whatever personal shit you had going on, then you can become one. It'd be an unwritten step that you figure out yourself.

    The thing is, people have been saying that valuations are high and we're due for another massive drop every year since 2011. I'm not sure Shiller is the best person to listen here, because he's got a vested interest in his P/E ratio looking "right." GAAC changes in the early 2000's really...

    I'd say a very large portion of the success PUBG has had to this point is due to Twitch. It became one of the most streamed games really rapidly, and that fueled sales. Summit, Lirik, DrDisrespect, etc, are basically indirectly responsible for the shit tons of money PU has made. To get in a...

    I picked up a Corsair K70 Lux RGB with browns on Prime Day. First mechanical keyboard I've had, as I didn't want to justify the price. But I had been using a crappy ~$20 keyboard I had stolen from an employer like a decade ago, so figured it was time to upgrade. So far I'm a big fan. It's still...

    I've considered offing a random draw teammate just because I don't know if I can trust them. Same situation, really. Maybe the default shouldn't be that shit being automatically checked for a 3 man squad? I don't think I should get a ban for it.

    Honestly, I don't get it? If team killing is bannable, why is it even a thing allowable? Seems ridiculous.

    He definitely had a "former 80's hair band front man" look going on. I almost feel like his outfit was more jarring than Ed Sheeran.

    This is really GRRM's fault. Holy fuck AFFC and ADWD were boring as shit. I can't even remember how many fucking chapters of Tyrion watching turtles on the river there were.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The travel thing is definitely starting to become a bit jarring. If Euron ends up traveling to wherever the fuck and getting the horn, then all the way back to Kings Landing before the horde hits, it's just going to be hard to buy. I half expected Melisandre to greet Daenerys, because that...

    Female empowerment has always been a part of this. I mean, ffs we have Cersei and Daenerys. It's not a new theme with the introduction of Lyanna Mormont. The fact that this is what half the thread is about since the episode definitely shows that this episode wasn't as strong as some of you are...

    It's weird, because I thought the episode was just okay, but this might be the first time watching the show where I paid a lot of attention to the sets. Dragonstone, the Citadel, and Winterfell all looked like they cost a fucking fortune to build.

    So apparently whenever I originally installed Windows 7, it put the master boot record on a different hard drive (or maybe I moved hard drives, don't remember). I'm on Win10 now, and was going to remove the hard drive, but all that it currently on it is the MBR. So upon booting I got a no...

    I do like the change to reviving when you were zoomed. But otherwise who cares? That said, the last patch where the improved the reload time is still amazing to me every time. Before it'd stay on that black splash screen forever. Now it's like immediate load back to lobby.

    I've got a couple hundred hours into it. It's got an interesting learning curve. I think my first impression was that the graphics are terrible, but eventually you get used to the voxels. Once you get the gist of how the game works, I think it's an awesome crafting/survival game (although...

    They say 401k to company match because it's an automatic 50-100% return (depending on how they match). But realistically, you should just max it if you can. I'm not a huge fan of the Roth IRA, unless you're poor. Like, under the 10% tax bracket poor. And if that's the case, you're not doing a 401k.

    Eh? Are you trying to day trade with your Roth IRA? That's...not how that works. You're going to destroy your entire IRA with short term capital gains and penalties.
