    I would say that is true by and large. Except for instances like this, which also happen to be when most investors, who are typically happy with their long term strategies, get FOMO and want to become day traders. The markets ending green 3 weeks in a row after unemployment numbers came out is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you've never played a roguelike or roguelite those kinds of OP situations are built into the game. It's RNG whether you get the upgrades you need to get to that point. There will be runs where you get every single upgrade you want and murder everything. And there will be runs where you get...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Brahma, bro. I'm not trying to be a dick here but that is a wallet for your face. And you're saying you have to use something else underneath it after spending 50 bucks on it in the first place? That thing is going to be a breeding ground for disease and you can't even wash it. Getting leather...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Haha a leather face mask. Did it come with oil or cream to help break it in and do you have a horsehair brush to keep it polished and buffed? WHY ARE YOU BUYING A LEATHER FACE MASK THAT YOU CANNOT WASH AFTER USE BRAHMA?!?!

    Maybe if you're an anti-social shut in. Achieving something as part of a team does not diminish the accomplishment at all for normal people though.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    This is reasonable. And maybe this virus will be a wake up call to take your diabetes as seriously as possible. Not saying you wave it off but people in the USA tend to downplay diabetes immensely, and it is a truly fucked up disease. My uncle died in January from diabetes. He had years to...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Well, it's a virus that attacks the respiratory system and being a diabetic makes you a target for pretty much every disease on earth. And your friend also smokes. And it still couldn't kill him. It doesn't matter how healthy or unhealthy you are though. Pneumonia fucking sucks, and you don't...

    Those bridges were built that way to keep tourism out and keep Long Island as NIMBY as possible. They were originally the only way on and off the island.

    Your actions definitely affect it, and if you decide to go to bed without exhausting every possibility you miss story elements, items, bonding events, etc. Cold Steel is a super "on rails" experience, which is what turned me off to it.

    People are generally pretty decent types? Heh, heh, heh. You mentioned adding tolls to the parkways. What about the real reason the bridges are so low on the parkways?

    I'm surprised you like trails of cold steel after complaining about unnecessary bloat and a calendar system. The combat additions from Sky to Cold Steel were very nice. Everything else about Cold Steel kind of sucks. I couldn't make it through the first one.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yea but this fits the bill for everyone considering it's scaling content that allows for 1-5 players. Now if only they'd tell the bleeding edge to fuck off and make even Mythic raids scale to group size (minimum 10 players) even raiding might be great again.

    The people who think Long Island is great are the type of people who love to inflate their ego with material garbage and act like it makes them important. "Do you know who I am?!". They don't bother themselves with trivialities like taxes or cost of living. If you have to ask you can't afford it!

    The Fast Food Thread

    I've done fast food once and takeout twice since this whole thing started. I just couldn't take eating what I had on hand a few times and needed some deep fried goodness. Takeout was from the restaurant at my golf club though so no worries for me there (super posh, high end important people type...

    That's not really how this works. Computer security most often gets compromised via social engineering and/or user error/stupidity. Not some clandestine group of super hackers who have circuit boards they can just plug into any interface and steal data from. That's hollywood, not the real world...

    No no no. Pantheon, which hasn't even been able to get into pre-alpha despite being in development since early 2014, should absolutely release right now, immediately, as early access. Definitely. People will be thrilled and do nothing but sing its praises. Guaranteed.

    I think this is a pretty shitty business practice. But if you own and use a smartphone, alexa, have a google or apple account, etc etc etc you are always being surveilled and everything you do is on record as data for those companies to package and sell. So getting uppity about this is a little...

    I honestly don't know why NASCAR allowed them to stream with comms in the first place. Some of the iRacing stuff is done with commentators like an actual race rather than live comms, which seems to me to be a much smarter approach. Could you imagine a fully mic'd up basketball or football game? Lol

    The Mage tower was great, this Shadowlands rogue-lite system can be done in groups as well as solo can't it? If it's purely solo that would be kind of a stupid thing to make one of the major gameplay mechanics of an entire expansion in an MMO.
