    Investing General Discussion

    Im under the impression, and you can correct me if Im wrong - sure. But isnt the medical sector just a big fucking circle jerk of reach arounds that allow insurance companies to siphon off as much money as they can? To be specific, insurance companies charge the customer for their coverage...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Games designed around resource management imo. Even though I like the idea of a burn phase for NPC's - I think it goes against the theme of any wizard Ive ever heard of - to leave their mana up to "chance." The way its implemented encourages Wizards that are trying to conserve mana to wait...

    Its a shame too. I enjoyed Narc for all his weird intensity. I feel like he could have just ignored it and came out even higher on the list of streamers if he would have handled it well. Last I played was not too long before Asmongold tried it and bounced off it. I'm pretty much in the same...

    These are all great ideas. Its increasing my games to play list each time I read the thread. But none of these are it. Its a much more recent game than SNES or PS1/2. The last time I saw it mentioned was when this website had the "twitter" feed type shit implemented. So in all honesty, I...

    Nah. Im surprised I havent heard of that one, though. I want to say the tank, in the trailer/preview I saw, was in an "overwatch" stance sort of like XCOM has with units. When the opposing unit came into the firing range on that road that the unit has to follow (not free roam grid base) - it...

    The previous owner ran it into the ground and was selling it for basically the value of the land that it sat on. The pipeline was getting ready to come through here at the time and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity, to be blunt, extort the people that are working on it with high rent...

    The majority of the spells/abilities of a Wizard are setup for distance combat. The dual wield and seal of magic just seems like some short sighted "Hey! Wouldnt this be neat!" kind of addition to the Wizard to make them more active. @Valorath - I get that you understand and dont see anything...

    I just dont get how the pricing works out for roofing. 33 square foot packs for $85 luxury shingles, plus 10%. 3000 sq/ft divided by 33, lets just say 100 packs = $8500. Lets say its an old roof and need to replace half the plywood. 3000/2 =1500, 4x8 sheet is 32sq/ft. 1500/32=~47++10%, so...

    Just depends on how much money the owner invests/spends on the "park", and how the contract is binding for those in it. I generally own almost all the trailers in mine, with my oldest trailer dating back to '92. Which doesnt seem that old, but bro... ha! I finance the move for trailers to and...

    As it stands right now - until they do a pass on traits, humans are just suboptimal to play with starting stats where they are as shown. Even lowering the Charisma to like 5 or 10 wouldnt counter the power of infra/night vision and similar. So until they do a pass on Humans and they have like...

    When I was making that graph in the previous page, I thought it was interesting that illegal immigration was labeled so low. So I included all foreign born people and their descendants, coming up to 80 million since 1950 (23% of the US population). Grok pieced together regional data where...

    If you want to call the kettle black, just say so: -Edit for an add- Bottom Line That’s $400–$500 less per month for the average renter. And rent burden would be back to 1950s levels: ~15% of income.

    TTK is based off equal level con. The mobs from the main entrance to Lguk are 24 to 46. You know this as well as I do. I also answered your questions in particular, but now those arent good enough. Shame on me for engaging with you when I already knew the outcome.
