    I always know the market is red for the morning when there are no posts in this thread. Weird stuff.

    I've been checking in on this thread every few weeks just to see what was going on. The last few pages though really make me want to pick this up. Sounds pretty damn fun.

    So my Value Pack from coming back ran out today. And with it, my storage all the sudden got a bit tight (although the Magnus stuff definitely helps). As such, I'm thinking I need to reevaluate my workers. They're probably the same as they've been for 2-4 years. I'm wondering though, are...

    Black Desert

    I went there just mostly because it seemed on the higher end for my gear score. At least for silver/hr. The exp is good too, as I'd like 62 on my main. I don't really one shot anything except really, really shitty mobs (like Kragtums or Manshaums). And the silver wouldn't be there. Although I...

    Yes, he got booted from the Politics threads a couple weeks ago for doing the same shit. Like 6 posts in a row lashing out, to every response. It's sad.

    So I fucking loathe the enhancing system in this game, however, I really want a TET Blackstar main weapon. Looking at the prices, assuming I could fill a pre-order, I'm looking at 2b for a DUO, or 3b for a TRI. I've got Advice of Valks out the fucking ass, as well as like 150 Artisan's Memory...

    Geez, Austin had a winter storm too? And here I was thinking it was cold because it was in the 60s today. My in laws are in Southern Illinois and the ice there is crazy.

    4 days. We're mostly going by the rule of 3, where we'd expect him to at least start acting a little more normal after 3 days, but he's regressing. We're technically on a trial with him right now, and we can take him back to his home at any time. The concerning part is we've read about...

    So we got a dog last year in April. She was a surrender Aussiedoodle. She's the happiest, most playful dog ever, and she loves everyone and every dog. She about 15 months old. For a while we've been talking about getting another dog because she really needs a companion. We got a male American...

    In California gay is so prevalent that apparently you just assume half the population is gay. Was watching the 2nd episode of Shrinking last night and I think legitimately half the characters in it were gay. Not for a good reason, just because. It's a fucking mind virus out there.

    The Netflix Thread

    Remember a few months ago how some of us said this would be the death of Netflix, and then some people tried to big brain it by saying they'd save money with bandwidth costs? This isn't Netflix of a decade ago. They don't have the content to pull this kind of shit off. And before someone tries...

    Forgot about those. The Office is essentially what Seinfeld was for me when I was growing up; a show that's in syndication almost every single day for hours that I can just put on to have background noise and laugh every now and again. I don't particularly like the seasons after Carell leaves...

    Ugh, kind of annoyed with myself. I got so focused on these stupid Jetina quests that I didn't really realize how big the AP gain on a TET Blackstar would've been. I think I had close to 9b silver, and there are TET's for 13.9b right now. Down to just under 5b. It'd bump me up to 264 AP. I...

    Pretty much. Whoever that girl was that someone posted before the show aired seemed perfect for it (blanking on name). I'm surprised by all the gushing in this thread over the episode. My wife, halfway through, was like "this is weird, I don't love this episode." At the dinner scene at the end...

    Crystals have always been an afterthought for me, but then I went to do them today and...they changed the whole system? Guess there's just a giant grid now and nothing is bound to the armor anymore? Assuming I'm not just doing it wrong, there any good "beginner" type crystal builds? Seems like...

    Florida is ridiculous. The builder who did our house is planning on adding an additional 300 houses next to our subdivision. There's another builder who's been knocking out a dozen a month it feels like. My wife was reading me something the other day from either the county or city, but it was...

    My two highest (both season chars) are 61. Tried solo grinding Mirumok on my season Maegu and it seems...rough.

    People apparently still recommend doing one for the end of season reward and free shit. And my season char is the Maegu. I guess I'm not sure why I feel the need to make another character for the timepiece. I think I'm still going to main my Lahn, so having another character with shit gear...

    Was talking to my mom last weekend. I mentioned a long time ago that her husband has a lot invested in Tesla. For some reason it's like his entire retirement is hinging on Elon Musk. She said he lost over a million dollars on Tesla last year. Granted, he didn't sell anything, but still. Yikes...

    Death Stranding

    That's exactly how I felt, too. Prior to the end game story marathon, I was all about 100%ing the game. As soon as I finished I had literally no desire to play anymore. Kind of a bummer.

    Man, I'd hate to hear her watch a show like Lost or Dark. Apparently if everything isn't explained from the moment it's introduced, it's too confusing and you have to stop watching? Didn't play the game, and obviously the Fireflies are a "rebel" faction against whatever the big city faction is...
