    Smed teams up with Amazon to create new studio

    Sell what game? It hasn't been made yet. Yea, he sued them. I don't know how "worthless" he is. I'll judge the game he makes on its own merits.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I enjoyed DA:I a lot, but base building is a heavy interest, and I think they didn't develop that aspect enough. Andromeda seems perfectly positioned to rely more heavily on base building. I'm hopeful.

    Smed teams up with Amazon to create new studio

    Recently an ex-dev high up at Rockstar North ditched and founded his own thing. He's planning to use Amazon's engine to make a new open world game that I assume bears some resemblance to GTA.

    Smartphones

    I use Hangouts. I didn't realize FB Messenger even did SMS. I tried Textra, but didn't think it did enough to warrant replacing Hangouts. I am loathe to rely too heavily on FB due to efficiency concerns like Deathwing mentioned. I hate that Google has 5 messenger apps at this point. Perhaps...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I find Trump ridiculous in most ways. I think he's a bad choice as our president, and disagree with much of his and the republican legislature's policy moves. Oliver is on a similar level because I expect more from him. Stewart had his pet issues like gun control, but he was usually even...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Don't know. Don't watch. Dipped out on him and Colbert during #GG. Bill Burr should host The Daily Show.

    Politics, civility, and you!

    I didn't vote for Trump. I did vote for Clinton. I wasn't happy about it, as I think each of them represents some of the worst qualities I'd like in a representative, but I still think Clinton was the superior choice. I hope I'm wrong. I don't feel that I've been the target of a witch hunt...

    Legion

    I hope it ends up actually being an elaborate mindfuck because that was easily the worst escape plan ever. That said, mindfucks are getting a little played out. Perhaps this can be the crescendo of the concept. At least it's due; he is Legion after all.

    Facebook "Last active"

    This. Many co-workers and some higher managers communicate with it. They're actually quite savvy given their generation, so I figure I can meet them halfway.

    Taxes 2016

    Is there any advantage to a traditional IRA vs. a Roth IRA once your income has reached this point? And I guess before you have hit this point.

    Taxes 2016

    Pretty sure HSAs are the most tax advantaged and, assuming medical costs will exist, should be the priority. Money goes in before taxes, and as long as you use the money for medical reasons, can be withdrawn without being taxed. There is also no time limit on reimbursing yourself for medical...

    Everywhere

    I'm highly anticipating this. GTA5 is the first one in the series that I enjoyed, and I liked it a lot. I've been frustrated at the lack of a new campaign or even a hint of their next project. I suppose this helps explain what the hold up is.

    Everywhere

    Some of the greatest minds behind GTA have had a falling out with Rockstar, and are setting up a new project under a new studio. Very little is known about it atm. It'll use Amazon's Lumberyard engine. It should be something open world, but Benzies claims it'll be a departure from their...

    I had an issue with my first 5x. Called them and they sent me a replacement and a shipping label to send the old one back. Didn't even use my protection plan either, they just swapped it out and it was all good. I'd imagine at least Apple would offer a similar level of appeasement.

    Poll Would you play this?

    Imps in Fear and frogs in Seb gated. So did mobs in LDoN (hard mode at least), but that's past the example. It was intentionally very limited because the results could be cataclysmic.

    Poll Would you play this?

    I'd love an EQ server that makes the old world a lot more valid. You could spend years just extending classic, making speedbump places like CT, The Hole, Kedge Keep, Najena, Paw, etc. into significant destinations that take some effort to complete. The content before PoP is just very thin and...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Honestly most american homes are completely insecure. I'm not concerned about the possible hacking of smart locks. You can hack my windows with a brick, and I happen to have plenty of them laying around my yard. If you want some privacy while you do it you can hop my fence and do it in the...

    The dev diaries for the upcoming patch/xpac are pretty solid improvements. I am looking forward to them, but I'm still waiting for my core interest to be targeted. Likely going to be a bit of a wait. I do like the ability to classify whole species as livestock for consumption though. The...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    It is not universally panned. ME3's gameplay was fantastic. The ending sucked. The defense of the ending sucked harder. Clearly BioWare are cucks of the 3rd order. Whatever. Right up until that ending most players had a positive opinion of the game. Unfortunately if the last bit of...

    Smartphones

    That doesn't exist, and, as far as I can tell, you're the only one postulating that it may. In reality you'll find new android phones that do 75-90% of what a new iphone does for half the price. You want the top of the line, you pay an exorbitant price premium. But Apple's offerings aren't...

    Yea, and the Edge's market share of android phones is miniscule. The majority of android phones are half that, even new.

    Stellaris

    Game needs love. Still hoping for some trade style updates. My favorite style of play is being a smaller high-tech/wealth entity with vassals. Could even do it with a theocracy if they'd implement religious ideology to that extent. I'd be the space pope. It just feels more nimble and...

    Shame. :( Does the trick for me. Wireless would be nice of course, but that rapid charge likely won't be replaced.

    Get a pin and shift it around in the phone slot to extract the compacted lint and your jack should seat fully and click into place.

    They ever release a DLC for DAI that fixed the holes in the castle? Shit left me so disappointed at the end of the campaign.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    OK, that doesn't do what his thing does. Is this better? I like that Koushirou's shows the IV in the big list. With this app I can only see it when I visit each pokemon individually.

    Concur. Same was true when they started on EQ:N. Argued it shouldn't even be called EQ anything anymore. No value.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    No, it was lame. I immediately rewatched the original afterward just to check that concept. Part of it for me was that they just made it way too easy for them to put everything together. The nerdy shit in the original was more low-key and earnest. I liked the new Egon, no doubt, but she was...

    poll sucks, neither tomatoes nor unbiased options. Raiding is awesome. Bads gonna bad. Casuals gonna casual. Different strokes for different folks. I do agree with the sentiment that raiding should not be the pinnacle of itemization and content. I prefer 5 mans, and have been frustrated at...
