    75th Golden Globe Awards

    I tried watching it but it seemed like a chick show.

    The Good Place

    I didn't love it. There were a few chuckles, but for the most part it wasn't very funny.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Their ranking system never made sense to me either way. Prior to the long break, it seemed like the more we played the higher our rank. Think we all ended up around top 1000.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Played last night for the first time since September. Won 3 fpp squad games (all on the old map), including back to backs. My aim feels like shit now, but apparently everyone still sucks.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Yesterday my wife found some used dumbbells for sale and asked me if I wanted them. 2 ea of 25-55, and then 1 of 60-80 (and for some reason a 3rd 55). The whole lot for $300! Score (31 cents a pound). We currently have up to 35's, and I had been tempted in the last week to spend $100 each for...

    Where do you all go to farm Axi relics? Everywhere says Xini, but public matchmaking almost never works for it. I've grabbed a few from doing the Lua/Stofler mission (since people need to run 15 rounds for Sedna I think), and also Derelict Survival, but those seem kind of less than ideal. I...

    Desktop Computers

    Not sure if it needed a new thread, but I'm wondering if I made the right decision to go with a Ryzen instead of sticking to Intel this time around. Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign

    Favorite in game weapons

    Not only was it cool, it was fun as shit to use. Saints Row is such a damn fun franchise.

    Warframe

    I'd wait around for a 50 or 75% off coupon. I'm at almost 100 hours in and decided to drop $12.50 for 1000 platinum with a 75% off coupon. I'm finally now just getting comfortable with the game. The amount of content is staggering. I'm still not doing a lot of the content there is. If you're...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Surprised you lasted 2 months. I only did 3 or 4 weeks and I was doing a lot of grinding to 305. I'm still amazed at how shallow this ended up being.

    Steam in 2017

    I think the best thing to ever happen for Warframe was Destiny 2. I heard so much about how Warframe is the game Destiny 2 should have been. I'm a little surprised that Ark is still there, and also (maybe) GTA V.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    That looks like some stupid Crossfit inspired workout. I wanted to stop watching after he bounced every deadlift rep (it's called dead lift for a reason). Only kept watching because of the blonde.

    Warframe

    Was excited because I've been playing quite a bit more and wanted to finally get some loot from Baro. Was really disappointed to find that it has an MR 8 minimum to get to the relay though. I was hoping to grind from MR 6 to 8 before he disappeared (halfway through 7 right now), but I've kind...

    Yeah, my friends back in Illinois were talking about snow and ice and shit, and I kind of forgot it was winter and that was a thing.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    BDO is a good MMO to play if you really love those afk click type games. Seriously, after the first 10-15 hours, you basically "stop" playing the game and just afk it. I have 2000 hours into it, and less than 100 of those were active.

    Nocturnal Animals (2016)

    Finally got around to it. I'll agree that Shannon was good. I kept expecting his character to be in on it. Or possibly setting up Gyllenhaal's character (giving him the gun to put prints on it, killing the guy, etc). There was that 2nd car at the very beginning blocking them, that eventually...

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    Speaking of clothing, I was tempted to buy some jeans on Amazon the other day, but I realized that jeans vary so much from pair to pair. I don't know why this is, but the coloring, cut, and sizing can all be vastly different even with the same brand/style/sizing. So I'll end up going to a B&M...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    I mean, how is gaming any different than TV? Or books? Or solo hobbies? What makes ignoring reality okay for one but not the other? Basically I think it comes back to gaming is still not considered main stream, and people don't like what they don't understand.

    Tax Reform and You

    Probably need to stop listening to the media. The tax break really was mostly for the middle class. From what I've read, the $300k (might be $390k) to about $700k range is where people get kind of screwed. It really just moved the "AMT get fucked" income bracket a bit higher than it used to be.

    You're the Worst

    So I'm a late comer to this show, and finally finished up season 3. Downloaded all of season 4 outside of episodes 1-4 which all seem to be nuked. Apparently episodes 2-4 are on the FX website, so I really just need to find episode 1. Anyone got ideas? I haven't torrented in like 3 years, only...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This is still the biggest thing keeping me from even throwing play money into crypto. When exchanges are getting shut down every single week, and it can take 3+ days to actually process a transaction, my ass is staying away. I mean, the speculative part alone should be enough, but when you...

    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    So I guess the pilot for this was released several months ago and my wife was watching it. It looked pretty stupid. Kind of a broadway inspired chick show. The full thing got released last month though, and we watched it all, and I've got to say it was fucking hilarious. It's not a perfect...

    The biggest difference between the two, in my opinion, is movement. Yeah, sure, the item modding is different, the gunplay is different, and the gameplay is different (essentially dungeon running vs whatever the hell D2 is), but when I was playing both, when I went back to D2 it just felt slow...

    Survivor

    I want to say I read that they have to stick with a certain plan prior to shooting, based on the money they pay. So, for example, they can't just go switching up competitions because of who is still in the game. I'd imagine the twist was already laid out prior to the season starting.

    Survivor

    That reminds me that Chrissy annoyed me for the last month because she was so focused on Ben. Her entire game at the end revolved around some kind of spite she had for Ben, which I can't figure out why (I swear she's the one who turned on him, was she not?). I almost think had they ignored Ben...

    Survivor

    Probably the best final 3 there's ever been. Even the goat in Ryan had a decently convincing argument. Normally it's someone who was just completely shit at the game, but he made decent efforts outside of being terrible at challenges. I really disliked Chrissy (she seemed like an ass, and her...

    At Summit everyone was saying everything is shit to play. Support is crap because all you're doing is denying, deaths don't matter, mid heroes are all boring. The game is in a weird place right now.

    They need to do something with Sumail. His decision making lately is poor. Either dump him, or figure out what's wrong with his brain.

    DOTA 2

    This seasonal MMR is a shit show. I'm one of the uncalibrated, and most of my recent matches have been with Crusader 1-4's (1800-2200 MMR). So there's no way I'm anywhere near Archon (2500-3200 MMR). And yet, we got matched against 3 Archons. Oh, and we had a Guardian 5 (1500 MMR). So unless the...
