    Pets

    Dog in question was in a fenced 3/4 acre, never out at about. There was an easement alongside the property that the city used to deal with some power-line issues occasionally (Seriously, Redding CA is/was a complete shit-hole) that people liked to walk through. He would bark at people...

    GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 announced available May 27th

    9000 is bigger than 9, and while a lot of people profess to have knowledge of hardware architecture and throughput, as well as rendering speeds et al, the vast majority are probably just going "hey it's new" and having 9000 sounds more impressive. But if the actual numbers are on par with...

    Stardew Valley

    For affection, once you get fruit trees around the outer edge of the greenhouse (You can plant them outside of the normal "ground" area, and you get like 14 or so total with the spacing required) you can basically walk around town handing everyone fruit, since they sell for a pretty shit amount...

    Pets

    Been scarred for life with the death of a pet; won't willingly put myself through that again. Australian/Border Collie mix with a bit of a hard history. Was the runt of his litter, subsequently abandoned along with the rest of the litter and put into a shelter with them. Literally last in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Equalization via d.e.m. I still have the niggling feeling that Samwell's visit to the Gray Maestery is going to be the important counter-point to dragons/walkers in general. Of course that could be a massive red herring and I'll be angry for finding it one of the more interesting plotlines in...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Potentially a combination of all three? I would imagine the weights being insane-o heavy might contribute to pinching a nerve (though in my experience that usually means pain vs. numbness, and it's usually centered in the lower back vs. being a specific body part). Then again, you are in...

    Dawn of War 3

    That trailer lacks the punch of a "This planet... is theirs!" reveal. It's just kind of "hey everyone dies. Warhammer, bitches!"

    Dawn of War 3

    Yeah DoW1 was played for hundreds of hours by my friends and myself via lan on many occasions, especially when Dark Crusade came out. It was by -far- the best DoW game/expac imo. 2 always felt more like a slightly expanded Necromunda, or a tiny ass War40k table top battle. Though the Diablo...

    Spring Anime 2016 Thread

    Sakamoto continues to feel heavily like a Cromartie spin-off. Still funny, esp. him in the dryer. But it -really- feels like I've seen something similar before. If a random robot shows up and pretends it is a student, I'm going to call shenanigans.

    Dark Souls 3

    DS1 had poise issues? And here I was sure that all those Havel geared builds just literally melee'd through hits. Because mine certainly did.

    Stardew Valley

    Yeah, 28 days in each season and when it changes non-specific crops die. The specific ones that survive are Ancient plants (spring-winter) and corn (summer-fall). If you get an ancient seed, don't plant that unless you have a seed maker and the greenhouse (don't lose it to random weather...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think it has more to do with non-survival related characteristics being part of the selection process. A big beefy dude has roughly the same survival chances in modern society as your average Rero...er, neckbeard. So characteristics that would normally be associated with survival percentage...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    When something has no actual effect on the survival of a species, it is generally regulated to being "vestigial" because it is not an important aspect of survival. It isn't so much that wisdom teeth are on their way out; it's that a lot of genetic constructs that do not have wisdom teeth are...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Through successive generations, the survival rate of those who could effectively masticate hard/fibrous matter has evened out with those who could not, since those wisdom teeth aren't needed thanks to knives and food processors and shit. Basically, dentistry and our eating habits have enabled...

    Dark Souls 3

    Dark Souls is Dark Souls. If you enjoyed but didn't beat 2, that's fine. You'll enjoy and (possibly) not beat 3. But if you didn't enjoy and it felt like you were just beating your head against a wall? Stay away from all 'Souls games. Simple as that, really. DS3 is really fun imo. I...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    I was always under the (apparently wrong) assumption that Stats was required for the vast majority of majors that didn't take higher math. Because these kids can't be using that knowledge with demands like "10% more staff" of a specific ethnicity with any sort of internal logic.

    Well, they -do- wear a lot of bling! T'Win might not shit gold, but he's flossin' like Liberaci. People will argue about literally the most retarded things, and expect them to be accepted as a reasonable stance.

    Dark Souls 3

    That makes complete sense if this is your first 'Souls game. They require a very different mindset from basically any other game out there, but once you get the hang of what "it" is, you develop the skillset to progress at a reasonable clip in similar games. Ie, Demons' Souls, Dark Souls 1-3...

    Similar games Shining Force I/II

    Yeah, there's a lot of Strat RPGs out there, just most of them are handheld/oldschool system based. I'd honestly like to find a game a bit more similar to Ogre Battle, because that remains one of the coolest/most interesting games I played on the SNES, even if a single Lich/4 Ghost group (Hi...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    More or less. Without Jon up on the wall, the non-dragon mystical side sort of just happens without having normal POV character interaction. Maybe Davos? But he is definitely no Jon Stark when it comes to show interest/popularity, even though he's one of my favorite characters in the show and...

    Bloodborne

    No, just a guy pointing over 'thataway' and having to trust that the entire world is pretty f'd up. If you look down it has that whirlpool look, so it wasn't a huge leap of faith that -something- was there.

    Nah, you're just not remembering anything you are referencing correctly. Which makes you an unreliable narrator to your own stance, and thus inherently untrustworthy. You seriously have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to at least two of the games you are talking about...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    In the process of my second re-read of the main series, and currently on House of Chains. SJW complaints that he's too rapey are hilarious; have they never studied history to any real extent or something? Guy is mild compared to real life cultures that still currently exist on Earth today...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Scientific accuracy has never, in any shape or form in any Star Wars media, been a thing. It's been space magic from the first moment. Plot holes have occurred in every SW installment, because it's space magic combined with multi-year breaks between "episodes." Today's plot hole is...

    Where are the Euro style MMORPGs lately?

    You're still clueless on the concept of raids. This happened year one in vanilla. Fear/Sky/Hate were not "grab a pickup group and go" events. They required coordination and in most cases it was a single guild doing that coordinating in those zones. This was less than halfway through EQ's...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Knowing a good welder is key. Fantastic looking piece of equipment, though. Edit: Carnitas recipe is legit. Only change I would personally make would be to soak some guajillo chiles in it while it cooks, not a ton to make it spicy but enough to give it some tang. Maybe 4 whole chiles...

    Where are the Euro style MMORPGs lately?

    I believe the statement of "European" means traditional high fantasy, not any sort of "designed by Europeans" type mentality. Also, EQ had camps because doing other shit was inferior in every possible way at specific levels. The quests completed in EQ, including Epics, would be 1000x more...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Factions should simply offer both. Kill stuff to gain faction and dailies/quests that also boost that faction. Problem solved, and it satisfies both groups. JFC this isn't rocket surgery.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, Garrison ruined two of my favorite activities: gathering and crafting. Everyone has effectively unlimited access to materials so they aren't worth anything, and crafting was severely hamstrung with capping equipped items and putting the basic "bar" as a 24h cooldown. Absolutely dumb.
