    The Division 2

    Yeah, guess I should've clarified PC. I can't really follow what the fuck all this Steam trading shit or whatever is, so I'm thinking GMG is the cheapest at $53.99?

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Wife was watching some show on Netflix with Billy Baldwin and I heard this song and really liked it. Reminds me a lot of Band of Horses. Took a while to find.

    So what's the cheapest way to pre-order this?

    The Division 2

    Glad this was fixed. Is the whole getting outside cover better now? It was super annoying that you almost felt "stuck" to something as soon as you hide behind it. Same with the menu system. Did they fix all the double clicking shit? That was super annoying.

    The Netflix Thread

    So I've been thinking about this since this post, and I'm fairly convinced at this point that the parents in both families were part of a sex child ring or something similar. It's just that most people can't grasp that kind of evil and so we just buy into them being the dumbest parents on the...

    Don't forget, "Hey, my therapist told me I need to sleep in the same bed as your 11 year old 4 nights a week (for 6 months) for my condition. I've also got some special vitamins to give her that help, you know, with my condition. And uh, we probably need to wall off the bedroom she shares with...

    Survivor

    Two seasons ago I said I was done with Survivor. But for some reason I decided to give last season a shot. And it didn't disappoint. I was kind of thinking the show had bought itself another season or two of redemption for myself. But fuck, this one has my two least favorite things; returning...

    Not sure if it's the same issue, but I had something that sounds similar yesterday. It kept giving me an error that the "Party was not ready" when I was solo queue'ing, but I think in an out of the way place where I didn't see it. Restarted and it went away. Was a weird one.

    Glad it's not just me. Played one game and was rubberbanding all over the place. Pretty much unplayable.

    Seems like I'd get it when someone else is jumpmaster though? And why is it then impacting people who jump with me when I'm jumpmaster?

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    So I get a constant micro-stutter whenever I'm jumpmaster. Made a post on Reddit but got no responses. It doesn't impact any of the rest of the game. The problem is that it also impacts my team, but only for the jump. If anyone else is JM, no issues. I've tried turning down a bunch of video...

    Woke up and decided to play my first ever match with rando's. Got my first win. Feels weird. 43 hours in with my normal crew and we get top 3 a lot, but never won.

    I actually learned something new today regarding the parties. In 1908, Taft and Roosevelt split because Roosevelt became a progressive and didn't like the conservatism of the Republican party. He ended up splitting the Republican votes by forming the Bull Moose party, allowing perhaps the worst...

    The Netflix Thread

    Ha! That's where my wife turned it off. I wasn't really feeling it when you had the dyke from SNL I think and her Asian girlfriend in the very first scene. I could see where it was going already at that point. And then the very next scene was some guy ranting about Trump. The premise in the...

    I've got to imagine he'll be done with the game soon. I can't imagine he's enjoying just shitting over everyone else. Like, right now he's only using the Wingman just to see if he can. And he's...shitting all over everyone with it. Even from like 300 meters away. Where's the fun in that? And...

    Bulgarians fucking wreck me every time. Dunno what it is about them, but even doing them with 55 pound dumbbells and I'm spent after every set. And I've had worse. A long time ago when I first started lifting, I must have forgotten to breathe or something, but my vision went out mid-lift...

    Yeah, I've been playing him almost exclusively and I've decided the Q is actually a harmful ability for me if I use it. It obscures my own vision a bunch with shit that already happened. That's not useful.

    What amount would you need to be "done" with a regular job

    We're looking at pulling the plug in 3-4 years with $800k in investments (401k, IRA, taxable). On top of that we'll have $30k in "cash" (CD's, savings accounts), and anywhere between $50-80k from our house equity since we'll move as soon as we quit. Going for a 5% SWR, which is slightly...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Yeah, the beta was fine. I'm just annoyed at the size of the download. Like Apex Legends was 12Gb for a full game. Why the fuck was this over 3 times as big? If it's the full game, why did I have to download it all when only like 1/50th of the content was available?

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    So 42Gb was a massive fucking download for the 2 or so hours it took me to do the content of this beta. Granted, I didn't do the "endgame" shit, because that seems like it'd spoil the experience.

    Yeah, I'm fucking atrocious at this game. Kind of not the most fun right now. PUBG my squad would get consistent top 10's. In this one the TTK is so long that I'm basically just shit. Haven't been able to find a way to track a target for the 30 seconds it takes to finish them. And even when I...

    Mid '90s

    So I think this movie is super niche. Like, if you were under the age of 10 or over 17 in the mid-90's AND you weren't a skater, it's probably not going to resonate. I think his being unable to skate was actually super accurate. I'd say most of the time when you'd be out skating, less than a...

    Mid '90s

    So I take it back. The first 5 minutes of this one I was rolling my eyes. It suffered from the same thing season 2 of Stranger Things did; throwing as much 90's nostalgia bullshit into my face as fast as possible. SNES controller, Street Fighter 2 shirt, boatloads of CD's (where the fuck did...

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    Finally got around to watching this. Agreed that the pacing was...off. Overall, the movie was "good." Not bad, but certainly not great. And it should have been great. Queen was a larger than life band, almost on par with fucking Led Zeppelin. And the movie just kind of seemed boring. It makes...

    Death and... Taxes.

    Yeah, so fuck this new tax form. I heard someone a while back say that while yes, the 1040 itself is shorter, they really just moved everything to schedules. Which means overall, it's actually more shit to fill out.

    If you watch the Death of a Game of Archeage, I feel like 1/4 of his footage is of someone teleporting around.
