    I think I did on my first attempt, but burned out. When I finally beat SE it was just SE (and a train logistics mod, can't remember name offhand).

    I'd say do Space Age and then if you like that, think about one of the more in depth mods. It's basically SE-lite. Plus SE first will end up like me where it just feels a bit shallow.

    I enjoyed Space Exploration significantly more than Space Age. Although it's also a significantly longer time commitment.

    We had quick clot bandages. I'm guessing maybe same technology, new applicator? That was also like 20 years ago now, too (I got out in 2008 and we had them by then).

    Yeah, not sure about the tax implications for the UK. In theory I'd say invest in the US because it seems like any time the economy crashes, everyone else gets it worse. But I have no clue if international stuff gets taxed worse than it would for domestic stuff (also no idea if you all give any...

    It's been fucking retarded windy today. Something like steady 25 mph, with gusts around 45. And yeah, we're going to get down to about 22 with 10ish wind chill. Luckily, sounds like by the end of the week it'll finally be spring.

    Since you all seem to keep track of the characters better, whose head was powering Hank's mainframe? I thought maybe it was that Congresswoman, but I have no clue.

    Crimson Desert

    I'd be down for that. I keep checking the Black Desert thread and I just can't force myself to go through that grindy shit again. If they could just do Black Desert combat without needing to grind hundreds of billions to fail enhancing over and over, I'd absolutely play it.

    Just took the dogs for a walk before the rain starts. 72 degrees. It's calling for 30 degrees tomorrow morning, but I bet we just barely touch freezing. Although Monday night into Tuesday morning we'll probably get into the mid-upper 20's. The wild thing is we're only going to get maybe 2-3...

    I don't really pay much attention to national weather anymore. I didn't realize Texas was getting butt fucked by snow/ice. Seems like it's basically the entire country outside of the gulf coast.

    What would you like to see remade?

    Sid Meier's Pirates! I actually never played the original, but the remake in 2004 was fucking amazing. Best pirate game I've ever played, beating Assassin's Creed 4 by a long shot. Giving it an upgrade in graphics while retaining the rest would be sweet.

    I know for the bigger builders who do entire subdivisions, they'll inspect one house and sign off on the rest. So say they're doing 6 at once, they'll only inspect one. I'm sure like everything else in the country now, the whole thing is corrupt and incestuous, and the inspectors don't give a...

    Was season 4 any good? We watched the first one episode and never picked it back up. Season 3 was already trending pretty badly. We just couldn't get back into it for 4. Seems odd to be excited for season 5 if 4 was more of the same.

    Yeah, edibles absolutely work here in Florida. Although the potency can sometimes vary quite a bit. Some will get me a mild buzz, and some blast me into outer space.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It's a valid question for an MMO that relies on grouping though. If you're planning on waiting to buy it, it'd be nice to know if there's a population playing to actually make it worthwhile.

    In the early retirement community, that scenario comes up very often. The bulk of people find paying off the mortgage to be worthwhile for peace of mind, even though it's not the ultimate min-max option.

    I like how so many posts have said the lack of light is a major feature of the game, and then every single one says "yeah, I'm picking a race that negates that." Almost like they don't actually want that shit.

    This episode actually had really good pacing, which seems unusual for this type of show (the big budget prime time type dramas, versus serials). It seems like so many of these shows just have a limited amount of forward moving story, so they waste a ton of time on useless shit. This was mostly...

    So basically a collapse is limited to the Great Depression, and the 1880's depression? 2008 recovered within a couple years.

    Sure. Two dumb broads saying "a market collapse is guaranteed to happen this year" is retarded. You responded saying 2020 wasn't a collapse because overall the year was up 18%. What exactly do you call a "collapse" then?

    Looking at end of year is a mistake sometimes and misses the fact that bear markets can be short lived. Like last year was like a +17% year, but you forget we dumped by about 12% in February/March. Or December 2021 through October 2022 we were down almost 25%. Yes, we recovered from the covid...

    It seemed odd that it just so happens to be a day where a bunch of people started back at work after a long break. Guessing the infant has something like mumps from not being vaccinated and they make a way bigger deal about it than a doctor normally would.

    That's an easy trap to fall into. You think "surely the market can't go up anymore" and then you're wrong for 2 years in a row and even though on year 3 it pulls back 20% in a bear, you're behind because you missed the massive run up to it. That's why time in the market beats timing the market...

    Pro tip, start leaving massive amounts of space between stuff. Way more than you think necessary. In the beginning it feels natural to clump your shit up to save on things like belts, but spacing things out will save you tons of hours trying to move everything.
