    I get it, I guess the question is is there a good time to buy stuff? For instance, a 200LT weight increase cost $17! That's ridiculous to me, especially since it's for a single character. Seems like this has to be one of those cases where no one actually buys stuff for the listed price and...

    Really wish I had bought that deluxe package, but I was waiting and then dog died so I kind of lost gaming motivation. Now I'm feeling better though. Anything like that come up frequently enough I should be on the lookout? Otherwise it seems like stuff costs $40 for some worthless shit that's...

    I lost my pet today and I’m really sad

    The worst part is I was like you for a while. Probably from about the time she hit 9 or 10. I was preparing myself mentally for it. And then in the last year or so (around age 12) she just seems so energetic all the time and I started thinking that I guess she'd just be one of those dogs that...

    I lost my pet today and I’m really sad

    Adjusting is super hard. I really don't have any friends outside of my wife, and so losing Lola is like losing half my friends and a family member. Our whole day revolved around her. Our routine was really her routine. We'd get up and get on the couch, I'd save a piece of apple with peanut...

    I lost my pet today and I’m really sad

    I lost my Lola today, too. She had a seizure out of nowhere at about 3pm yesterday, and then another at 7pm. We decided to take her to an emergency vet about 2 hours away and she had two more seizures on the way. They held her overnight and even with anti-seizure medication they couldn't get it...

    That's not to say I don't see the appeal. I watched back in August as everyone was saying buy Tesla. I seriously considered it. But would I have the balls to dump enough in to see a worthwhile return ($100-200k)? Probably not. But had I? I'd have retired already. Similarly, my mom and her...

    Don't get dollar signs in your eyes based on the posts in this thread. I know most people are saying they only put about 10% of "play money" into the market. Buy total market, buy year round, and be totally boring and you can become rich. I started tracking our annual net worth (investable...

    Been addicted to this again. Can't remember exactly why I quit (imagine it was enhancements though). Loving this season server though. I think I started 1-2 days into the season, so about a week total?

    Soul (2020)

    Yeah, I didn't love this one. In fact, it might be my least favorite Pixar movie period. The animation felt especially lazy with probably 1/3 of it being that squiggly line afterlife shit.

    What should I use these Morning Frostflowers for? Seems like the Manos Riding Crop is pretty good. Sounds like a lot of people get the weapon exchange things, but seeing how I have no intention of swapping weapons between characters, is that really that good?

    Black Desert

    Not that it means much, but I went back to Helms to grind out 55-56 (for some reason the Mediah story finished me at 4% into 55) and with Tuvala gear, it felt much better. But I guess that's a given with better gear. I also want to reiterate how nutty this is. My main previously was 56 with...

    You'd think so. Just did the Awakened Black Spirit boss. In the time it took me to kill it, 3 different Nova's all killed theirs. I'm doing something majorly wrong, and I have no clue what. Level 55 and full PEN Naru now. I was told Lahn was one of the best PVE classes, and I can't seem to...

    Black Desert

    So I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm at level 54 and 138 AP and following the main storyline. The last several places I've gone that had me killing mobs have been painful to say the least (Helms, Rogue Den, and basically all the bosses you fight for the story). Like, I'm at the...

    I guess either I didn't buy it, or it was just somehow lost. I swear I did. But it's greyed out on the maid icon, so I don't have it. I have assloads of stuff in the mail...not sure what I should claim. Or heck, I really need to clear my storage out. I'll edit a picture and maybe you can tell...

    Yes, at the marketplace. Not sure what locked means. I went with a Lahn on the season server. I'm liking it a lot better than the Striker I started yesterday. You're also not kidding about the speed of this. Level 33 after only about 3 or so hours, and I think I have more inventory slots than...

    So uh, I can't seem to sell any of the gear I already have. It's greyed out for some reason. What am I missing here?

    How much time investment will it take to do that? Any recommendations on class? How do you get those codes (BDOHAMM, etc) to give you stuff? I "redeemed" them on Steam, but I don't see them anywhere in game. One of my T8 horses has all but the S skills, guess I'll keep that one. Anything...

    So it's been over three years since I've played. No clue why I reinstalled, but I logged in and (unsurprisingly) I had no fucking clue what I was doing. Like, literally nothing. I'm assuming I should just start a character from scratch, so any suggestions? Here's the gear on my main character...

    Yeah, this is a failure of the English language I guess, that sanction means penalty and also approval. What a fucking retarded word. In this context I can see how it would mean they don't have permission to be on the exchanges.

    Weather

    3.5 is the threshold for feeling them in my opinion. Granted, that's if you're within probably 10 miles. I suspect you've never actually felt a 4.0 - 5.0 earthquake, because there's definitely no mistaking it for quite a distance away.

    Last night I had my first bug that was actually frustrating. Was doing the Dream On side mission with the Peralez's, and you have to use your cyborg vision or whatever. I kept hitting Tab and it would highlight stuff on the ground, but never fully come up, so I figured it was just something...

    Agreed. Took this screenshot last night as another disagreement with that fake 3080 screenshot, and figured it was an appropriate response (once again GTX 1060).

    See my screenshots above. Ryzen 5 1600 16GB RAM GTX 1060 6GB Seems like all the people bitching about the graphics either haven't played the game at all and are just making shit up, or are console players. My 4 year old, mid-range at the time PC, looks better than that dog shit.

    How the fuck is that a 3080? I'm on a 1060 and this is just the first random NPC I loaded because I wanted to shit on this meme. Edit: And here's another, with Claire, who's basically a 3rd tier named NPC. (Edit 2: Putting my image in there with the meme, because this is bullshit).

    I wish I knew. I can't figure out what impact going in guns blazing does on anything, except possibly less money (at least for side jobs)? In which case who cares because they give you a shit amount anyway.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Reminds me of Harry Potter. Listen bitch, no one asked about Dumbledore's sexuality. Which is probably why you never included it in any of the books. In the end though, she finally got the backlash from the SJW's and seems to be a shitlord (to a degree).

    I have 2000 hours in this, of which I'd guess I only actively played maybe 100 hours. The rest was afk fishing or horse training or whatever else. Game is way too grindy. Gave up after trying to farm world bosses and never got shit.

    The desert shit, especially with the wind farms (Tehachapi) made me think it was more LA inspired. Joshua trees and everything. But fuck if I know. Could be a combination of both.

    Seems like most legendary items break the game. Picked up that smart SMG and it wrecks, same deal with the legendary revolver and that smart pistol. You barely have to try to just shred through enemies.

    It's not entirely on purpose. It'll pop up on the map as a side quest, I'll forget it's him, and then I get there and am like...well, I guess I'll sit through this. I'm hoping there's a payoff at some point.
