    And what you're saying is the same thing people said about real estate investment until 2008. That's really all I'm pointing out. I'm not trying to dissuade people from investing in the S&P 500. And real estate has rebounded like gangbusters since 2008 as well.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The weapon also didn't drop, it was just given to you, and you didn't need to farm for the right version of it that unlocked what you were looking for. This late into the expansion you could max the entire artifact in like... 4 hours. Try getting the azerite traits you want in 4 hours...

    Real Estate is not a shitty investment market. It's (historically) stable, is a real asset you can actually view and touch, and is less prone to speculation than the market is. A lot of people in this thread like to point to index fund performance over the last ~20 or 30 years as proof it will...

    Witcher 3

    I thought the same thing, but then I thought... That's why you buy the PC version and download mods like fast travel from anywhere and gwent dealer.

    Witcher 3

    So do mods just load automatically? I don't see anything in the steam settings or options for the game, or in game settings.

    Witcher 3

    So I pay for 500Mbps, Noodle is paying for twice that, and j00t probably has no idea what he's paying for and wouldn't even mind if he got served cold soup when he ordered a burger. And we all got the same download speeds. Which must mean it's capped for some reason. But yea. You get what you...

    Witcher 3

    Well, downloading at 45 MB/s on nexusmods so probably not. I had this same issue when downloading No Man's Sky a week or two ago. Anyway, not important. Is the HD Reworked Project the one everyone gets for upgraded textures? Gonna get auto apply oils and likely fast travel from anywhere since...

    This is a pretty stupid statement considering internet speeds these days. And the fact that you said the problem is likely on my end, meanwhile you had the same exact download speeds...

    Huh? 45 minutes is a long time... you were probably getting around 10 MB/s.

    Witcher 3

    No limit and region is NY which is the closest server to my location (CT). Switched to PA and it went up to 14 MB/s so I guess it was the NY server. That's still pretty slow though considering my bandwidth is 500Mbps which has an upper limit of around ~65 MB/s and I regularly get 30-40 MB/s...

    Witcher 3

    Decided to buy this for PC since GOTY is only 15 bucks. Why is Steam such a shit client? This download is going to take forever because it won't go above 6MB/s

    Relics weren't as important as Azerite traits. And the currencies used to buy them were far easier to obtain.

    Girlfriend wanted to watch this so now we're on episode 8. It's not as bad as I originally thought it would be but it feels entirely nonsensical because of all the damn time shifts. I think having played through Witcher 3 actually makes this worse than if I had gone into it blind. The show is...

    Residential investment properties aren't really short term winners. They're long term income. Think of it as a retirement plan rather than a portfolio option. Eventually the property is going to be paid off and all you have to cover is taxes, insurance and maintenance/upkeep.

    The Fall 2019 Anime Thread

    They explained that at the beginning of the show. They found a way to make a more potent version that eradicates quirks forever but it's very expensive and slow to make so they only have 5. I have a feeling the little girl has a way to reverse it herself.

    The Expanse

    Holden as a character is very annoying but not as bad as I thought he would be after the first 2 seasons. They amped down the over the top boy scout routine thankfully. Strait doesn't play the character well either though. It's his facial expressions, especially when he's trying to do the whole...

    Witcher 3

    Inventory management and the character screen in general are an abomination. Truly abysmal. That's how good this game is. Nobody even really complains about something that is pretty much universally complained about or lauded depending on implementation in almost every other game.

    Or put it at 450 like you're baking a raw pizza from scratch. You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. Baking it at 350 is fine, if you have the patience baking it at 300-320 is better. However I'm with Brutul on this one. Cold pizza right outta the fridge. If it...

    It's nothing fancy, it's just the average spend per year over the 11 years I've owned it. Which includes all the above and things like Landscaping and small home improvements. The apartment's gross rental income is $20,100/yr. Taxes + Insurance are ~$7,500/yr and I spend roughly $4,500...

    Being a landlord is a major PITA. We've discussed this a lot in the home buying thread (I think that's the right thread). I own this property outright and the net income on it would be quite significant if I didn't live in one of the apartments myself (it's a duplex). As it stands now I net...

    Well, I've got income in 2 different states, my investment property, my regular investment accounts. Also have an HSA, FSA, a UGMA for my niece. It's easy (for me) to accidentally forget something like this and the gain won't be very significant for me. It's a hassle. In a silo it's a breeze but...

    Witcher 3

    Signs are strong against swaths of enemies, but very weak against bosses. Light or Heavy attack builds are better overall. Once you get to B&W and open up the new systems and get an Aerondight the "Spin to Win" light attack/alchemy or Ursine Tank/alchemy builds are much better than any sign build.

    Yep, B&W is probably worth close to full base game prices on its own. Witcher 3 was always a great game but I think B&W propelled into "GOAT" territory.

    Gotta admire a person with delusions of grandeur with no skills being "held hostage" by their circumstances who can also magically just get a job in a STEM field at will. Actually no you dont need to admire them, you need to delete their contact info and block them

    Because its something I have to remember to do year after year and will make no difference to me in the end. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile or that nobody should do it. I just personally can't be bothered after thinking about it. That's all.
