    Death and... Taxes.

    Creditkarma won't do state taxes for me this year, as I lived and worked in two different states. I don't want to use turbo tax. What do?

    Think of copper like a giant egg shell. It’s thicker in some places but there’s a band that typically exists much wider than what you’re seeing on the surface.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    The raft exists for your first cross-ocean corpse recovery run so that you learn that yes, leeches exist in the game and that no, if you're on a fucking raft at that point in the game it's certain death.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I'm playing this with my two older kids (15 & 10) and it's a blast. The 10 year old is holding up surprisingly well, but she learned about kiting people from playing some kind of capture the flag game in Roblox. She can even jump bow kite, but it's more like she just jumps all the time from...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    My wife decided to test out the steel front bumper by taking out a stop sign and a country fence post. Her first time driving on ice. Looks like the bumper has paid for itself already.

    Why don't they let you pick options? When I was looking up here over the summer the new construction that I was interested in let you pick all kinds of shit. This neighborhood. Nothing for sale now that I can see. They had seriously 20-25 houses for sale back in June. 810 Flat Head Cv...

    It wouldn't piss me off so much if they didn't talk about what a smooth ordering process the PS5 was going to have ahead of time. Then, surprise, order now! Nope, closed. Order now! Nope, closed. Fuck it. It's not like there are any PS5 only games worth playing at all. I'm sure there will be...

    WFH is key. Here's how it went down for me. I left Company A on good standing to rejoin a past boss at Company B, which was just getting started. I had a good relationship with the CEO of Company A, chatted on gchat, etc. I made a lot of performance related suggestions, and really wanted to try...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    It's similar to how MMOs have gone over the past 20 years. From an outsider, just a typical gamer, you'd THINK that people would learn from the mistakes of others. In reality, unfortunately, what you see is the same companies, new companies, everyone, repeating the same fucking mistakes every...

    Bro. Too late now, but HDMI from PS5 to TV. Optical from TV to receiver. Pass through the audio, do all the fancy bullshit straight on the TV set. This will allow you to not have to upgrade your receiver, but now you'll have to switch inputs on your TV.

    I don't even know what launch day is. Kind of pissed that I was never able to land a preorder. Then again with my weekly schedule being as nuts as it is, it shouldn't be a surprise that I wasn't in a position to click through and order one when pre-orders went live at various vendors. Guess I...

    Sorry boys. If you faggots will cross buy the same games across 3 systems, I will pay $600 for a PS5. Sorry, not sorry. XBOX still needs something that will make me buy it. PC gaming isn't even an attractive option for me.

    Hopefully they have an elegant way to move games you're currently playing to the fast storage and let us hook up an external drive. That way I can keep things like ESO and RDR2 on the external storage, because they are gigantic, and only move them to the fast drive when I feel like playing them...

    Made it past appraisal, which came in at 520. I think this is another rigged system to always place the value just above what you paid. One of my employers dragged their feet on employment verification, so that was the majority of the time spent last week. I believe they are just reviewing the...
