    Cyberpunk 2077

    That's what mine says, exactly. 57.4GB. I thought it was because I was downloading the pre-load and it fucked up when they started the actual download. But maybe something else is going on? Restarted Steam and no change. Edit: Moving now!

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Okay, I think I may do it. Is there any reason not to go with Steam (and instead GOG or something)?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    So sounds like the bugs are completely overblown and this is worth buying day 1? Tempted to get it tonight and have it downloaded for the weekend since it sounds good.

    Because it requires a fucking 3080 to run worth a shit?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah, looks like a current generation game. I don't understand why the requirements are so high with how his game looked.

    No Man's Sky

    Pretty much. The curve in this game is extreme. Essentially the first hour or two is brutal, but after that the game becomes almost trivial in all aspects. That was my biggest complaint. After a certain point (not very far in), I had almost unlimited money, unlimited resources (by the time I...

    The Umbrella Academy

    So speaking of the show again, the wife and I finally watched the last episode tonight. What a shit show. I feel like season 2 started off with a decent amount of potential. And even up through episode 9 was still an interesting premise (although the stuff in the FBI building was a...

    The Umbrella Academy

    God I hope so. My wife even complains about how she hates Mr/Mrs Page in the role. The character itself isn't bad (I think it is), but Ellen fucking sucks.

    Damn! Our investment accounts are up over 14% just in November (includes contributions). YTD is almost 35%. I think 2021 will be our last year of employment.

    It happens. Hindsight and all. Had I thrown just like 12% of our net worth into Tesla in August when you all were hyping it up, I'd be retired right now.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I've been on a game glut recently not knowing what to play. Thinking I should pick this one back up. I probably only spent like 2 hours playing it. Never really grabbed me to keep playing though. I never really got into Witcher 3 either, despite everyone saying it's the best game ever. Other...

    It's just so ridiculous. Saw one earlier today about "black banks." Money doesn't give a shit about skin color.

    I mean, market has had a good year any way you look at it. It's at just about 10% YTD. And that ignores the massive market drop from covid which provided an extra opportunity to buy cheap.

    Depression

    Damn dude, that's almost exactly me, too, at least up until the recent events. 6 years in the military doing IT. My timing was shit though as I got out in November 2008. Couldn't find anything. You'd think having been a system/network admin and willing to live anywhere in the country I'd be...

    Nah, I'm good. I don't reward people trying to fuck me. I did the ublock fix the first time. That's about all the effort I was willing to make. I'll just move on with my life.

    Just went on Twitch today and had forgotten the infestation of ads. So it appears I haven't even watched Twitch in at least 2 weeks. So...good job?

    I'm definitely enjoying the last few days. Since the election, we've basically gained about an entire year's worth of expenses. Assuming no more gains for the rest of the year, we'll have exceeded my projections for the end of the year already.

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Last 3 movies I saw in the theater were End Game, Back to the Future (a retro thing they did a couple years ago; my favorite movie), and Star Trek all the way back in 2009. Get on my level.

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    Yeah, 7+ is no joke. I'd prefer to never experience that shit again. Feels like the earth is just pissed at you. With how many old buildings are there, I'd imagine lots will be found dead unfortunately.

    It happens. Often. Every time it has for us, generally we shoot past the milestone big time the 2nd go around. Which obviously makes sense, as the market recovers and we have even more shares at a lower cost basis, of course we'd look better on paper. Every drop is a sale. I imagine our...

    Speaking of NoHo, he was the cyborg in Bill and Ted Face the Music. Was kind of surprising as I just completely didn't realize it until after finishing.

    For the broad market, this doesn't seem to hold true. So what are they trying to hint at? Are there plenty of overvalued companies? For sure. This just seems like another Zero Hedge panic article.

    So I've got Prime, and run AdBlock and uBlock Origin, and I'm getting fucking ads on Twitch now. What the fuck? How do I fix this? The one ran 7 ads and went on for like 2-3 minutes during the middle of the stream. That seems fucking retarded. Edit: Shit, guess I should've read the previous pages.

    So my gaming group wants to play this, but they mentioned that the anti-cheat doesn't turn off when you quit the game. Kind of makes me not want to play this shit at all.

    Wife and I just finished season one last night, and I thought it was funny that she said she really liked the show, but she wishes they had cast anyone other than Ellen Page because she's awful.

    I had thought they were buying equities. That's all I was saying. There was all this talk about buying ETF's and the impact on the market. Usually when you say that, you think "stock market." Which is why I thought it was crazy they were injecting cash into that market. But buying corporate...

    Hackers (1995)

    Pixie cuts can be pulled off by attractive women, but they always look better with longer hair. It's basically a "I can get away with it, but be uglier than otherwise."
