    Hahahahahahahaha My movies don't call for good actors!! Acting is inconsequential in film!!! Acting has nothing to do with presentation!

    Torghast would have been enough to get me to buy SL and sub. But after watching the development cycle and seeing them gut it the same way they gut everything in their games to fit their shit tier gameplay loop I noped right out.

    That makes sense in a densely populated city where many people already don't own cars. Like NYC. It does not make sense in typical suburban America where you'd end up spending more per month to run errands in a cab than you would on an actual car payment. Not to mention the inconvenience cost of...

    They just announced last minute Mythic Castle Nathria tuning which is probably attributing to that. I don't even know why I know that considering I haven't had an active subscription since Dec 2019

    And self driving taxis likely won't change that as taxi companies/drivers/medallion holders will lobby hard to make it so only medallion holders can operate a self driving cab.

    Maybe. It's an interesting thought I just don't consider it a viable investment. Self driving cars are going to be a thing. Self driving fleets, especially long distance trucking, is going to be a game changer. I just think self driving taxis will be more niche than mainstream.

    Well yea... but when was the last time you took a $5 cab ride? 1965?

    Fair point, but that's still a small amount of market share to consider it a major focus for pushing the tech forward. The only reason I mention it is because for some reason it always seems to be one of the major talking points of self driving vehicles. Fleets of taxis. And it just seems...

    Does anyone else not see the glaring problem with "robotaxis"? If every car can drive itself who is going to need a cab?

    The Mandalorian

    It's all about expectations. When I watched Burn Notice I wasn't expecting thought provoking TV and was able to enjoy the show for what it was. Whereas the later seasons of shows like Dexter or GoT where the writing falls off a cliff and the show becomes unwatchable it's not fun or interesting...

    The Mandalorian

    This is true, but there are some really, really poorly written scenes, and even entire episodes in The Mandalorian. Worse than even some of the garbage we endured in the prequels. Grogu eating the frog eggs over and over and being scolded was Jar Jar levels of terrible "comedic" relief.

    The Mandalorian

    Your criticisms are all fair. Though I wouldn't call it "sloppy" writing. I'd call it lazy. It's very clear there are episodes where the writers aren't even trying. Like that frog lady episode. Holy shit that entire episode was just bad. This show has some real good old school star wars vibes...

    I mean... I did "research". The specs said HDR. Or at least seemed to. This is why I hate shopping for TVs and Monitors and why it took me so long to buy one. None of this shit makes sense because there is so much terminology and bullshit. I thought I bought the fucking monitor Regime linked...

    I had to actually give up on my playthrough. I'm surprised nobody else is having this issue but I literally cannot loot half the items I come across. I'll wait a bit for a patch or two and give it another go. Luckily I was only about 2.5 hours in.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    That icc profile is better, thanks. Still a little "weird" looking but I guess that's just because this is the first monitor I've bought in over 10 years and it's the first IPS panel + first HDR monitor.

    Ugh this is killing me. I've spent like 3 hours trying to calibrate this thing and I just cannot get it to look right in HDR mode. I've tried downloading the recommended profile for this monitor from TFT central. I've tried manually calibrating both via windows, and suggested websites. Maybe its...

The only way to fix it is...

    I am having no issues running it on Ultra at 1080p with a 1080ti so a 1070 should be able to handle high at 1080p I would think

    Surprised there isn't a thread for this yet. Hadn't heard about this show until I randomly stumbled across it today. Only 1 episode in but the first episode got surprisingly dark and creepy towards the end.

    Until stock is gone and people are waiting for more "official auctions" at which point supply is 0 and demand is still there.

    I'm surprised it's hard for people to understand that scalpers will go to those auctions and buy to resell. It doesn't solve the issue in the slightest.

    Humans are impatient Tuco, if someone wants the item and its available on eBay but no "official" auctions are happening (and the auctions are swarmed by bots) there will always be people willing to pay higher prices for immediate gratification. Your auction idea does not solve this. You're...

    Good point Tuco, never in the history of man have people gone to auctions to buy items they then re-sell for more at a later date. The prices definitely have nothing to do with high demand and low supply. Nope. It's because we aren't auctioning!
