    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    They're adding a loot animation from inventory. Not really sure what it entails so I can't speak to it, but I don't like it either way.

    Not sure I'm going to like the change to looting. I haven't seen how dramatic the animation is, but my gut reaction is that this is a bad change. You're already incredibly vulnerable when looting; I feel like this makes it a death sentence.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    The sad thing is when you look at the specs, it's already outclassed by medium range gaming PC's.

    Silicon Valley

    Wait, do you mean Lost? Or...shit, did Lost rip off Gilligan's Island? Also, regarding your 2nd paragraph, I think that's why I like Veep so much right now. It went from VP to President, to now ex-President. And with Silicon Valley that would kill the premise (they need to stay in the incubator...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    This may not be the place to ask, but since you brought it up, has anyone had luck with getting an Xbox controller to work on Steam Link for ZSNES? I can get ZSNES to work on Steam Link just fine, but the controller is a fucking nightmare (it doesn't want to map all the buttons).

    Best line from this week was his half and half one. Also, for how much funnier Veep is, it's amazing it gets almost no posts compared to this show.

    Beauty and the Beast (2017)

    Yeah, I like Gaston. He's probably one of the more popular Disney villains. Also, I find it strange that this is coming out on DVD already and it's still in theaters. Watched a Bluray rip last night, and went to confirm that our local theater is in fact still showing it. Bizarre.

    I'm amazed at how off it was. I anticipate I'll actually start doing way better now. I've been pretty shit at anticipating where the bullets would go.

    That's weird, because I have the complete opposite opinion. I think duo is easiest and solo is hardest.

    Hawaii

    Just booked our flight for Kauai for 2 weeks in October. Hawaii has been on our "must do" list before we leave the west coast. And I've done a lot of work in support of stuff at Barking Sands and everyone says Kauai is probably the best fit for us (we'll likely make a second trip and go to the...

    That's not what I expected from your description. Man, that's terrible. I'd rip that shit out immediately.

    That sounds like a terrible idea. You'll never win with one guy holding all your meds. Game is way too fast for that. No one is going to want to watch a team playing a "game within a game" where they've handicapped themselves against 96 other people.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    So this is a complete noob question, and probably not appropriate for the Destiny 2 thread on this particular date, but can anyone explain to me what the fuck Destiny is? Got a friend wanting to play it when it comes out, but I don't know shit about Destiny. I feel like I remember hearing...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    They have no choice. You can't change the bar path with the Smith. So you have to adjust your body. It's weird that his experience was that it feels more natural, because it's anything but natural. There's almost no lift where you have a completely straight bar path. Joints don't work that way...

    What in the fuck was that? Did that dude just get super lucky with circles (afk the entire game), and then pretend to be invisible?

    Survivor

    This season is a trainwreck. I'm enjoying the hell out of it though. Really thought Tai was going home with 2 idols. Sarah has to be on everyone's radar as number one target now though. Next week will be interesting when she plays the legacy, plus Tai and Troyzan and their idols. They're...

    Investing General Discussion

    Yeah, a nice 10%+ correction would be good. I made a shit ton of unrealized gains in the August 2015 and the January 2016 ones (DCA'ing with monthly 401k/TSP).

    I hope someone is working on how to clean these new autonomous car networks. I don't want to get into my commuter car after some dude just spent 30 minutes whacking it on his way to work.

    Fargo

    Have none of you heard of Peter and the Wolf? My wife hadn't, so I suppose it's not as widely known as I thought. It seemed very in line with Fargo though.

    I figured it was Judge's commentary about how fucked up the patent process is in tech to try to cockblock everyone around you. The major tech corporations are notorious for this (especially with cell phones).

    So when we bought our house, there was I believe a single smoke detector. The inspector made them install a bunch more (required by law). Well, within like the first 6 months one of them (bedroom) malfunctioned so I just disabled it and never replaced it. Looking at it, apparently California...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I didn't mean get rid of it, just implementing "hardcore" mode or whatever they're calling it. I will say 3rd person makes for some interesting tactical advantages (and thereby more fun), but it's kind of a shit mechanic on a game that prides itself on realism.

    If Sarah and Tai team up, it's game over. That's a whole fuck load of advantages and idols and shit.

    How often are they releasing patches for this? I'm guessing they're probably working on an optimization patch, as that's probably the biggest issue with the game. That, and getting rid of 3rd person mode. Also, I don't drink -- I'm assuming that bars me from participation in your game nights?

    Autonomous Systems

    I'm not sure why a lawn one can't just be run once by a person? It's not like a car where it's got this massive variance in patterns or traffic that need to be accounted for. And it's not like a Roomba where things in the house can change frequently. Just give that thing a detachable handle...

    2017 NHL Playoffs Thread

    Think this was their best shot. Kind of just a shitty draw in the Pens. Probably time to move on from hockey. Caps blew it.

    Wow, Sierra definitely deserved that one. Two absolutely massive misplays that episode; both oddly involving Sarah. Never tell anyone (especially outside of your alliance, to "build trust") about any advantages, and then telling her that you made a deal with someone in their alliance to vote out...

    Same here. I have a G400 as well. I can't imagine wanting to use a bunch of extra buttons on a mouse. Just seems like it'd get super confusing. I'm not twitchy enough for that.

    Duo'd tonight with brother-in-law. 3 matches, got a win on the last. Think we're about to play another though. It was mostly down to luck. Circle was good for us. We had high ground at the lumber yard and it kept us just barely in it. Edit: Fuck, 4th match was intense. Got pinned by two other...

    Anyone got any recommendations for cheap(er) gaming headsets? I had a pair of Siberia v2's for a long time but the left earpiece went out. Probably looking for something in the $40-60 range at most (mostly because I don't trust these things to last, so I'm not dropping $100+). Looked for lists...

    That's good to hear. Means there's still hope. Those early access highlights are entertaining as shit. It's weird, I've performed so poorly in this game, but fuck I'm at work right now and really want to play. There's something very addicting about this one.

    Went ahead and picked it up. First, the download size was only 7.3 gigs which was pretty awesome. Figured it'd be 25-30. I hopped into a game during my lunch break (not realizing how long it'd take). I'm pretty shit. No kills, but I at least lasted til 26th. Trying to find some good YouTube...
