You keep calling it insecurities. Why is it inherently negative to care for the opinions of your coworkers, loved ones, or potential loved ones? Their reasons might be bullshit, they might not, but why outright ignore them?

If you're going to act a retard, I don't see the point of debating with you further. I'm not trying to argue anything beyond maybe you should be a bit reserved about some of your habits when it comes to meeting new people. I happen to think video games is one of those habits. You don't. You...

Fucking tattoos still have negative social stigma and you're going to bullshit me about video games being ok? You see insecurity, I see myself as being justifiably cautious where the alternative has very little upside. You still haven't answered my original question: what benefit is there to...

The attention is the middle game. The $100M is the endgame. Perhaps not as crudely as you summarized it, but I wouldn't be surprised if a large amount of businesses were just essentially scamming VC for money. Corporations, at least in America, give criminals a LOT of protection. See: Mitt...

Don't care what they think! Wait, do care! Again, I wasn't disagreeing about fewer hobbies = harder to find a match. I think we actually agree on this point, so we're just going in semantics circles. But, I will contend that there's nothing inherently better about having more hobbies...

Why would these have gone in the Pantheon thread? I've heard that thread is a hive of scum and villainy, but has it gotten that bad?

Exactly, money.

The stigma is there. The point about the bosses and politicians was to establish that it exists, more prevalent in the previous generation. That doesn't mean it's eradicated in ours. Also, it was another example of when not to be so open. Your definition of "interesting" is close minded...

That's beyond crude and rudimentary. Seriously, go look at picture of the part resting on a scale. It looks like someone hulked it out of that CGI box. Also, why bother to half-assedly paint a prototype?

What do you gain from letting your boss or potential girlfriend know you play video games before you're somewhat sure it's safe? Why does it have to be open book immediately?

Explain the lack of white paper then. He has the ability to achieve what you say. Has had for years. Why the reluctance to open it to the world if it isn't money? I don't know how computer graphics proves anything these days. For an actual working part, it looks shitty. For a god damn...

That's because the stigma starts at "yeah I play video games" and the conversation doesn't end there either.

Because he wants money for it. If it's a simple as that painted pipe makes it look, he ain't getting shit even if he tells just NASA about it. A million times the energy density of gasoline, I'd be angry at my government if they didn't willingly violate copyright laws for that. As for the...

Seriously? Darn, the image hotlinking won't work. My car engine looks higher tech than that thing, and all it does is combust gasoline.

Sorry to derail the The Departed reference, but I wanted to offer my opinion on the "talking about video games" topic. I can't really speak for the dating aspect, I got lucky early, been with the same woman a while. Married her 4 years ago, had a kid last year, so I must be doing something...

Damn, I was sure this was an Astrocreep thread.

What's your problem? Still sandy that I was right about monks in D3? The specific topic, way to quote something 2 weeks old, btw, was about Cage's repeated temporary deaths affecting himself. Rita's possibly permanent deaths were quite obviously affected him, nobody was debating that. Nor...

I'll admit I haven't used origin in a while. My contention is that they were fine with steam for a while but got greedy. Normally competition is good for the consumer. But all we got this time is library fragmentation and a poor steam clone.

I hardly think it's anal retentive to call bullshit on stuff that smells like bullshit.

Still requires Origin? I don't consider that free.

It's called a Faraday cage. And no, it will never happen because liability. People on their phones at the movies are bored. They'll find some other way to annoy you.

Still draconian, just not as much. That's two peaches, they don't have much fiber. I'm sure I could find many other example of low fiber fruit that would easily break your limit. And you ignored my other point. I think you're just making up shit if 15g is harmless and 25g is going to kill you.

lol? 10g of fructose is the tipping point? Also, 25g of sugar per day is extremely draconian. Might as well give up eating hook yourself up to an IV and feeding tube.

The fuck I wouldn't. Maple flavored soda sounds awesome. As long as it's the real stuff and the darker grades for a fuller maple flavor. I'd also download a car.

Maybe this should be a new thread, but seeing as how this didn't even make it past a page, whatever. DG2 released on the 23rd. Why they decided to email that today, idk. HPE can make a great game, but they know fuck all about advertising. DG2: Defense Grid 2 on Steam

Meh, I'll admit that the idea of clogging up my sweat pores bothers me on some level. Doesn't stop me from using the stuff though. At the risk of outing myself, if I didn't do or plan to do anything vigorous that day, I'll skip the shower. How gross do you guys get after 24 hours of sitting...

I was kinda disappointed by fb6 wizard. I was expecting sort of a fire and forget gameplay while clearing the rift. I guess I could have calculated it would take more than a few blizzards to get that flamey graphic over the mob's head. Even on T6, most mobs are dead by the time the dot...

Why does that introduce clipping digitally? I can see maybe analog where you're pushing the limits of the hardware.

Really? I bought them all much later when the season pass was complete and on sale. I played them through release order and still found Tiny Tina the best by far. The problem I had with Scarlett was reusing a very noticeable voice actor from another major character in the game. The humor...

Correct, and that's the only good one. The Torgue DLC was ok, but grew old quickly.

That's one of them

It's being developed by someone other than Gearbox, I'm reserved about the quality of the game. I'll let you guess which BL2 DLC was not developed by Gearbox.

That link is horrible. Am I supposed to be impressed that pain enhancer and toxin add hundreds of weapon% when I'm already doing tens of thousands of weapon%? Also, pretty sure toxin only changed this last patch for pet classes. khorum, did you even read beyond the first post of that...

Thanks for the link. Googling that tells me that is ~19 cans of diet soda per day. Fatties can drink even more since it's based on body weight. I would honestly struggle to drink even 10 cans of any liquid in a day. Peeing that much is annoying. Unless it's in a butt. Oh, so a baking soda...

I think my opinion of this movie is highly skewed by my age when it was released. Which leads me to wonder what is today's Fight Club for teenagers? And I can't come up with anything. It's all shit. Fight Club is a good movie that gets a huge bump from it's quotability. I'm increasingly...

Is there a reason to leave the car running while filling it up? But that aside, isn't temperature transfer between mediums logarithmic? So, you get the most of the heat transfer done up front. Obviously, I don't know the ambient temperature of the air at the time, the wind speed, what...

I (mostly)enjoyed the Sennheisers previously too Not being able to tinker with system and application sound has always been an annoyance with the E11. I'd consider a different dac/amp just to remove that problem. I really don't want to have to change the volume on the amp. Thanks for...

Also, shame on you for reposting and linking the chive.

I don't think diet soda with food makes a difference. And how much would a diet soda by itself vs lots of sugar and body weight?

Let it harden, cut and serve on a bun. Deconstructed reconstructed cheeseburger.
