    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    Glad my friends finally got sick of this game. Tired of downloading 100+ gigs a month for this game where they can't even be assed to implement anti-cheat.

    Not sure why you're taking this so personally. Are you a meteorologist? That's who I was calling out. And I'll point again to 2 posts previous to mine where they were still modeling the hurricanes colliding as of Sunday night. Is that NOAA? Fuck if I know, their website sucks.

    Weird, because I just saw something that said the CDC revised their guidelines that air travel and interstate travel are no longer recommended for having a 14 day quarantine. Seems like that'd be great news for the airlines.

    Marvel's Avengers

    Dunno, I watched people play that Spider-man game and it looked fun as shit. This looks like you run around as Hulk or Black Widow (why?) and...feel like you're a level 5 player in an MMO, getting the shit kicked out of you by everything in a soulless world.

    I guess...if you ignore that less than 24 hours ago they were still forecasting that they'd collide. I mean shit, 2 posts before mine is video proof.

    What are the odds their models are shit and either the one hurricane doesn't turn west, or if they do, they collide and both completely disappear? Edit: Shit, nevermind. Already happened. Marco made landfall and is expected to become a TS this evening already a tropical storm. Expected to...

    I promise shroud has played more games in a week than I have in months. If his MMR isn't calibrated at this point, their system is broken.

    I'm convinced the top streamers are placed into crap lobbies to bypass SBMM. Go and watch shroud play and you'll find him get absolutely assblasted like I do. I'm sure at some point they'll adjust his, but they haven't yet. Shroud is a good example, personally, because we got matched with him...

    This idea that muscular people are just hulking monsters that can't even wipe their own asses is retarded and you should feel dumb for buying into it. I mean, just look at NFL players for an example. Every single one of them are gigantic but are quicker, more flexible, and stronger than you'll...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    A friend of ours had some extra dumbbells we had given her (pair of 10, 25, 30, 35; also a 55 that was sitting in garage), but she's moving out of the state and gave them back. Can't figure out how much to sell them for. I think normally they're like 50 cents to a dollar per pound. Amazon has...

Super annoyed by all their "covid" nonsense too. Like, why exactly did they have to wear a mask before...

    This. "Named storm" is not the same as hurricane. Been noticing the media freaking out about all the named storms, but there's only been I believe 2 hurricanes. Significantly less than "forecast."

    Oh shit, I saw the first post and rolled my eyes, and for some reason your image I'm like "that looks super familiar." Wife and I ate at that pizza place back in 2011, before I went to OCS. The hotel we stayed at might be there on the right. Super nice place.

    Had we opened everything back up in May/June like we were sold on, we probably could've salvaged the economy. The hit wasn't nearly as big as expected. But because we didn't, it's still lingering. We're going to have a massive economic collapse incoming.

    Absolutely. If you need cash, liquidate some of your portfolio. If you're at the point where losing your job means you have to liquidate a $200k+ portfolio though, your risk evaluation is all kinds of fucked up. You never should've been in that scenario to begin with. Liquidating it at the...

    Keep in mind not everyone during the Great Depression was broke. Similar to 2008. If you didn't liquidate, and were even lucky enough to buy a little during, you came out the other side fucking lambo rich. Edit: Good timing on that ^ post above. You don't "lose" money unless you sell at a loss...

    So that stupid pixelated weapons bug is back, and it basically makes the game unplayable. Not sure why it isn't their top priority to fix it. Was in a game yesterday where I got bought back in, landed, grabbed a gun, and there was a guy who must have also just dropped in. I got the bug...

    You're using Vanguard, so there's no real reason to go with one over the other. Vanguard has a patented process that makes them basically identical.

    The problem I think they'll have is all of these grand ideas have a lot of dependencies on the other grand ideas. So if you don't get one of them implemented, the whole thing just kind of stumbles.

    How many hours of playtime am I going to get out of this if I pick it up without any expansions, before I get tired of grinding? And is solo playable? It's one I've thought about picking up many times over the years but I've just never bothered.
