    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Really makes me appreciate that I got to game before this era of that kind of stupid shit where everything has a guide or clickbaity YouTube video.

    Because just like how inflation didn't immediately start when they started printing money, it'll take time to fall once they stop. Consider that the ridiculous amount of printing (not the QE that started in 2008) happened in 2020, and we didn't get hit hardest by inflation until two years...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    And at this point, most of us have been through this rodeo a few times and know that those things never end up fixed at release; instead, everyone just forgets that they said it was an old build. 6 months after release they finally address it after 80% of the playerbase finally moves on.

    You really get your money's worth out of those voice acted side quests.

    Doesn't that just mean you get to enjoy the voice acting a second time?

    You should probably just say fuck it and consider paying double the price of this one. Diablo 4 has much better voice acting.

    I don't get this line of reasoning. We spent way more money on all kinds of technology 20-30 years ago.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    That's probably why I'm reluctant to ever spend that much on a game again. Had a ton of fun and hours in the last CoD with Warzone. Figured I'd buy the new one and...it fucking sucked. I think we played it for two nights before everyone decided we hated it. $70 plus a $10 season pass down the...

    Yeah, but I can play Last Epoch for half that price. What the fuck does this game do that warrants the price tag?

    Party Down

    Shrooms episode was fucking hilarious. Might be one of the best. I also realized right when I started watching it (not sure why) why Nick Offerman was in this, when I remembered that he's married to Megan Mullally. Even though she's not really in this season much.

    Black Desert

    Pretty sure I got like half a dozen emails telling me to do my account or it'd be deleted. I wasn't playing at the time, I don't think, but went ahead and did it.

    So what's the longest time it has ever taken to pull out of a sideways market? I feel like we're at double whatever that number was, at a minimum.

    It's baffling. I assume people give her money to manage because they're brainwashed into thinking she's some kind of star, based on media appearances.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, there are tons of characters. And a lot suck dick. Which is why they weren't popular as comics. The successful ones are successful for a reason.

    I don't want to shit on the posters in here, but quite a few were talking about how the SVB thing was a one off and wouldn't spread to the rest of the banking industry.

    Car Insurance

    We just switched in mid 2021 with the move to Florida (well switch is relative, since we had State Farm in California as well, but new agent and vehicles). And we didn't go USAA because they apparently third party RV insurance. We may look into them again, as even without bundling the two, it...

    Weather

    Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed. Planted grass seed thinking we were finally warm enough, as the lows were in the mid 50's, and highs getting close to 80. And then this shit comes along and will kill everything. We also planted a bunch of flower bed type stuff. I'm hoping it's all hardy enough to...

    Party Down

    Finally got around to the third episode and at first I'm like, this isn't so bad. So they call them Nazi's, whatever. But then it just got more and more ridiculous. Super weird for Nick Offerman to play super gay guy in Last of Us and then Hitler worshipper in this.

    The Last of Us

    The impression I've gotten from this thread is that the show followed the game plot pretty well? If that's the case, am I just missing something? I heard for years that the story was phenomenal. The show was...passable. It didn't blow my socks off. So did they leave some stuff out that develops...

    Car Insurance

    Maybe the secret is to just be uninsured? If you can't beat em, join em. And it sounds like all the suckers with insurance are picking up the tab anyway, so why fucking bother having it? As long as I don't get pulled over, I'm golden. Heck, maybe I pretend to be illegal because they apparently...

    Car Insurance

    Only really posting in this thread to vent. Apparently it's incredibly dead since the last post was over 7 years ago. But we've got State Farm for car insurance since they'll cover our van as an RV (it's registered as one). Anyway, our insurance rate a year ago was like $600ish/month for our...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I think the GOTY talk with this one was based off super early impressions when everyone had like 10 hours into the game. Because that part of the game was truly stunning. The novelty eventually wore off though and then the game just kind of became a standard open world RPG. Still a solid game...

    Sounds like pretty much all writers are hacks at this point. This would've just been another reboot destroying an IP if not for people saving the writers from their own bullshit.

    Last Epoch

    So is the gameplay loop for this just...pick a build, farm forever for it, and then...never touch it again because why bother with a build that's "done?" And then pick up a 2nd character and repeat because you're a masochist?

    So I don't know if it's because of the latest patch or what (doing multiplayer the first few nights was fine), but last night I had massive fps drops. Normally I'd assume it's my PC, but one of the people I was playing with has a monster and his was dropping too. Third friend, however, was fine...

    Neat. I'm going to try to see if I can find pictures from Mammoth. I know like 4-5 years ago they had a near record amount. Edit: Can't find any pictures. Looks like they've got 50 feet, but that's 6 feet short of the record. And as far as snow in California...where do you think the LA...

    So update on my low level character who I took 2/3 of the way through the story to play with my friends. When I started going through the story I missed, I was level 40. Finished at like level 43. This is in contrast to my friends who ended up around level 56. So now I'm grinding 15 levels to...
