    Taxes 2016

    I'm poor as hell. Had 10k in medical bills this year. so, good news, that allowed itemized deduction higher then standard. bad news. 10k in medical bills. atm, looking at about $300 owed atm. Have to decide on paying the 300ish, or, invest in the IRA. $110 off the taxbill, for each $1k...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Turning the black racer into a zombie/velociraptor hybrid is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Death can't see you if you stand still. Are you fucking kidding me? Also, death can be tricked and trapped in a bank vault.

    Conan Exiles

    more often then not yes. But, in that rare case, "early access" is that dream we all had for MMO's when they first started. "pay monthly premium and get monthly content!" Shit that never happened. But for that rare game. Rimworld, dwarf fortress, minecraft, etc. that is exactly what you get...

    Conan Exiles

    Ha. yeah. that is kindof my thoughts every time I see one of these. they look so clunky and barebones. This one does look pretty at least. But, how in depth is the crafting? building? combat skills? In a way they remind me of UO. but, just seem so lacking. doing some quick research, I...

    Conan Exiles

    ha. I have yet to play any of these. Ark, rust, DayZ. What is the genre called? first person survival? Which is the best? genre seems to quickly have been saturated. GMG is 20% off.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Pillars1 has 950k owners on steam. Tyranny has 140k. I'm only actually seeing 500k PoE1 sales reported (oct 2015). (700k as of Feb 2016, with White march expac.) but steamspy is listing the 950k owners. So, full price, vs 2 years of sales possibly. 600k is not as easy as you think, imho.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    FIG. no thanks. should also be noted. this game is already funded. As in, it was funded privately/producers, and they are just asking for crowdfunding as essentially pre-orders. And, these preorders are "enabling" extra dlc. Also with FIG yes, you can totally be an investor in the worst...

    Rick and Morty

    Key quote. Mixed feelings on this. That tweet was way out of line. I also don't really feel saying dumb shit on twitter should cost you your job. and, Rick and Morty hasn't given any shit about offending yours sensibilities before. So, why start now?

    Deadpool (2016)

    Fun movie and all, but what exactly should it get an Oscar in? Best use of CGI babyhand? Best pegging scene in a feature length film? Best sidekick name?

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Luke is going to send out an arcade game for Starwars, across the galaxy. the person that gets the highscore will be the new Jedi. Red title does make me wonder if this next movie will follow Kylo Ren as the protagonist.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    But then he was like. Nah, I was lying like that bitch Obi Wan. "there is another." and then Luke was like, Leia, you are going to be a bad ass Jedi with super powers too. But, then she said fuck you. Super powers are boring. I'm going to do drugs and bang Han solo. Then, become a general.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    The red is the real issue. Whats that about? Revenge of the Jedi was red at one point appereantly. I think Grey Jedi, and iirc, unification? was that term in the EU? is a mistake. Like, yes in real world terms Jedi and Sith are pretty stupid, with obvious flaws in both's philosophy and in...

    Might & Magic : Showdown

    ok, I think I figured out how the pvp could be fun. Is it pokemon rules? Best of 3? or until 3 are dead. you set a loadout for you heroes+support. you have 10 heroes or so. but can only pick 1 at a time. So, like. A: "I choose warrior." B:"I choose succubi". Succubi wins. A:"I choose...

    Split (2017)

    what?! nooo. This happening, is happening. yeah, the Happening is without question one of the greatest unintentional comedies of our time. The Wickerman, The Room, The happening, Troll 2.

    Might & Magic : Showdown

    yeah. to add to this. Ubisoft has been putting out a number of budget/niche Might and magic titles for some time now. MM: DoC was 2013. Ubisoft Quebec. Great/best online cardgame game system. Horribly mismanaged/marketed. Weak UI, that badly needed Hearthstone type improvements. M&M...

    Might & Magic : Showdown

    well, this seems baffling. so.. the game is JUST a 3v3 hero battle on the hex map. No world, campaign? just pvp arena? Mini painting is super cool sounding... but.. that is a neat feature.. not something to base your entire game on. the handling of microtransactions, pvp, etc of DoC was so...

    Split (2017)

    goodbadflicks guy liked it as well alot. but he is also one of those net critics that has been a M.Night Apologist. More then a few apologists for M.Night, have similar views. Great camerawork. shots. Strong directing. Often cite the massive use of subliminal shots in The Happening...

    Absolver

    "thrilling" uh-huh... not a fan of the visuals. Alot of clipping. weird poses. Bg's are so flat and empty. sound design is very weak. super generic punch/kick sounds. and impact "ughs" this needs breathing and talking. Chatter when seeing targets, etc.

    Justice League (2017)

    yeah. its hard to place. Goyer had a strong list of credits. But, it should also be noted, Nolan Batman is a pretty strong departure from Batman itself. And in many ways, character breaking. Giving up being Batman, no Robin, Bane, Talia, etc. theres more then a few things in Nolan's movies...

    haha. yeah, its pretty much a "from experience", as I spend 5-15minutes every time the one in my shed pops off and I forget I have one in my shed in the back, on a socket I never use, and go check the breaker, etc.

    How much income is enough?

    I think the 75k that gets floated around is about right. That figure is comfortable living, basic cost of living, (phone, mortgage, health insurance,etc) and enough to set aside savings. And, where any unexpected financial hardship won't end you, unless its obscene. Less then that is sacrifices...

    Rimworld

    Don't forget heat is modeled when doing that. vents, burned down doors, etc. temps will skyrocket and kill your colonists. Bugs spawn under 'mountain roof." often its just easier to not build in mountains. If you do, section areas off. Stone doors/walls, with inner wood walls. Air ducts...

    Fallout 4

    I greatly prefer the sandbox of Fallout/The Elderscrolls. Witcher 3 got maybe 15-20hours out of me tops. FO4 got 159hours. (Steam lists skyrim at 119. which I think might have time missing.) Fo4 is definitely not perfect. Definitely shallow pond at times.. lotta content, not very deep...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2017 (Jan 8-15)

    yeah, theres a fine line at times. clipping and glitching can be fun. but, when its just, whelp. break out of the map, and run to the end, it gets boring fast. conversely. "you are just playing the game normal" is also often boring. A bit too many of those at times as well.

    yeah. a few other tips. double walls and double doors help alot with heating. heat is lost through walls. double thick walls provide alot more insulation. do this for your freezer at least. possibly outerwalls for general as well. esp in extreme biomes. stone does not burn. so, stone...
