    Snack Shack

    This seems like a good callback to the fun types of comedies I grew up on in the 80's/90's. None of the super ridiculous shit they try to throw into "teen comedies" the last 2 decades.

    Agreed. I think we're all a little worried about being doxxed, but I'm honestly not sure why. Since someone brought up passive investing, and that's all I ever did; outside of that $1k foray into AMC during the GMC mania, that I promptly turned into $500, and then rode on PLTR going from $500...

    Robots seem about half a difficulty harder than bugs (so medium robots is halfway between medium and challenging bugs). We had one map where there was a giant fucking robot turret laser thing that would snipe us from 500m out. We couldn't figure out how to disable it so we just ran away in zig...

    Honestly, there aren't really many bugs that I've seen. I turned off AA and one other thing and it solved my crashing problem. Otherwise the only "bug" is with matchmaking, and if you just spam it a few times you can get in. The most I had to do was 9 or 10 tries, and that takes about 30...

    Difficulty is weird, too. We do a group of 3 (although @Sludig joined us randomly at some point last night) and just absolutely steamroll medium difficulty. We tried challenging and it was literally just running for our lives and barely making it out. The medium sized armored guys take about...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Butterscotch Krumpets were the shit. Sadly I tried them again maybe a decade ago and they didn't really hold up to my childhood memories.

    That was pretty good. The Weekend Update thing where that white guy and black guy wrote each other's lines was good too.

    Had my first kick from group as we were extracting. That's pretty obnoxious. Probably won't use quick matching anymore. Also, I don't see any new patch?

    Apple TV+ thread

    I was confused what this had to do with Apple until I scrolled up. Think I found a new song to rotate into my drum practice. Really liked the opening on that song and it has some really fun sounding fills. Pretty insane those guys are all about 60 now.

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    Yeah, I rarely revisit one of these after the initial release. There's been a handful like 7 Days to Die which is in it's 11th year of alpha I believe, but they're pretty rare.

    I literally just have 1 lettuce, 1 tomato, 1 berry, and 1 wheat, with a bee, cow, and chicken, and it's enough to make salads for all my pals and make enough cake that it'll cook before every breed. I supposed if I started running multiple breeding pens I might need more, but as of now I have...

    Any particular reason why? Or just your "feelings?" Presidential election years are usually really good for the stock market. And when they're not they're really, really bad. Considering where we sit at the moment, it seems like we'd keep trending up. This is also why people usually lose money...

    I really wish I could figure out instruments. The whole music genre seems to allude me. It's also becoming completely unwieldly with how much I've done. Was able to make headway into Ninja Turtles, the DC universe, a bunch of Disney properties, a whole bunch of marijuana stuff (inadvertent in...

    See that Rick Beato video about the Telecommunications Act...of 1996. It killed the music industry. So it makes sense that it all started going wrong after that.

    Yeah, we're already up almost 6% YTD and it's not even 6 weeks into the year. I'd be shocked if we didn't pull back a bit at some point in the next two weeks.

    This will probably get posted eventually. It has no business being this addictive. Hell, I'm not even entirely sure why I play it. But for some reason once I start I'm just clicking away for an hour. I recommend the browser version over the phone though just because it gets a bit difficult to...

    Fidelity or Vanguard. Lots of people complain about Vanguard's web interface being bad. Doesn't bother me though. But yeah, I think those are the only two viable options. All the rest are shit.

    Satisfactory

    That's definitely true. The magic of discovery wears off. Especially with something like Factorio where it's a learning experience on the game outside the game of finding the blueprints you want and how that system works. Even though I haven't played it in years, I still remember it and so it...

    I kept waiting for you to respond. So is DSP not three dimensional? I had been excited before DSP came out but I feel like for some reason it had a rocky start? The problem with all of these it sounds like is that none of us have played recently so no clue what the current state is.

    So the 2nd Jetina accessory is now live. Requires a fucking retarded amount of black stones. I've only been logging in for rewards the last month or so. But they've got a cups event where a pity piece drops from Giants so I'm almost tempted to do some grinding. Super tempting.

    For some reason this one made me think of Girls Against Boys. I guess Super-fire was released the same year as Bound for the Floor (1996). And one for the Clerks fans.
