    I'd guess his wife gave him some kind of ultimatum. Also likely a condition of her staying with him was that he publicly shame himself to Twitch.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I guess it depends on what his squat was before. If he's only ever squatted below 3 plates, well, yeah, he's going to stall out well before then. If he used to squat 350+, he'll probably be good to go. In my experience, taking substantial time off can lead to it basically feeling like noob...

    What the fuck was that game 2 of Optic/Fnatic?

    So I guess I'm confused what the issue is. I've got a GTX 1060. Should I just not buy it? Like I said, I used Movie Studio 14 for the month trial and liked it. If the rendering time is comparable, I think that'd be fine.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, that was weird, because at the start I was thinking Optic was going to get absolutely shit stomped. Naix had pretty good farm despite the Bat, and once Medusa comes online it's basically over. I have a feeling Medusa might get nerfed soon, even though I feel like she's always been that...

    Except that's talking about 13, not 14, which is what the Humble Bundle has?

    Wow, that's a fucking killer deal. I had been saving my $15 coupon you get when you do the trial of any Magix product for the inevitable sale on Vegas, figuring I'd buy Vegas Movie Studio for $50. But fuck me, $20 for Vegas Pro? That's a god damn steal.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    That's weird, because it was an issue probably sometime in the summer and they ended up fixing it. Only to reintroduce it again later.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I'm pretty sure in either the last season of Top Gear, or first episode of this, he basically said "this is the future."

    I can't believe we have an "FoH the Porno" now. What a fucking community.

    Survivor

    It's hard to feel sympathy too, because they decided to make this super strong 4 person alliance, and it lasted all of a week (which is like 3 days of game time). Granted, they didn't act on voting out Ben last week, but they tossed his name around. At that point their alliance was already over...

    Also, even more fucked up with the whole Eververse thing is that apparently people who didn't buy the DLC can still get DLC shit from lootboxes. So they're fucking everyone here, except people who buy lootboxes.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I don't know what to make of it. I'm not in any crypto right now, and the only reason I want in is for FOMO (fear of missing out). That's a terrible reason to invest in anything. And with how volatile this is, everything tells me to avoid it like the plague. It's very conflicting. I could see...

    Not only that, but it's been six fucking weeks! I bought a full priced game, and 6 weeks later the company says, "Uh, yeah, about that...please fork over another $15." I didn't ask for that. In fact, I didn't play D1 at all because I don't own a console. I don't give a shit what happened in...

    Need to figure out a way to get a refund through Amazon. And yeah, after my post yesterday, I did some reading and the shit they did with this DLC is unethical. They've gated base game content to be available only to people who own the DLC. I think this is actually more outrageous than the...

    I have no idea what you're talking about for the most part with that (seems complicated), but that seems kind of like something no one is going to be doing. If you're in the 15% bracket right now, you likely don't have extra cash to write a check to the state as a floater to get 3% interest on...

    Ugh, forgot about that "challenge." I already hate the family episodes, but to make it random luck of the draw? Not sure what they were thinking on that one.

    What a bunch of fucking clowns. Lauren fucked up big time. She really had two outs, and she threw them both away. The idol could've been played to save herself, although that's assuming the scramble still happens without Dr. Mike throwing half of it in the fire. And she also left the second...

    Must be what the critics were bitching about when they said "less than 2 months after release and Bungie is forcing you to buy a DLC to continue playing?"

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    Yeah, I enjoyed the last episode a lot. Overall the season was a great success (I'd even go as far as calling it pretty, pretty good). The only downside is that I have no idea if this will be the last season, or we're waiting another 2, 3, or 4+ years.

    Yeah, I've heard Ululani is the best shave ice on any of the islands. That shit is no joke, I highly recommend it. When we got to Kauai, we went to Wailua Shave Ice after a bike ride, which Tripadvisor said was one of the better ones. It seemed like normal shaved ice you'd get in the states...

    This. I'm not some console playing faggot. All I heard about was how awesome Destiny was. Like The Division but better. Destiny 2 was like The Division but way more boring. And that's saying a lot.

    'Netflix' for Textbooks

    I'd guess this is to combat the textbook rental business. That said, I kind of figured they had won that battle by incorporating the "one time use" codes for whatever online access or other bullshit they came up with. That really crushed the used textbook market.

    Hawaii

    Yeah, my wife and I were in bed by like 8:30 every night just because we were so exhausted from all the shit we did in Kauai. I hear that Maui is better for people who need "nightlife," and I'd assume Oahu is good for that as well due to being more populated. But that's really not our style.

    Yeah, damage caps out based on the planet you're on. So for instance on Earth, the highest you can do with your favorite scout rifle is 50 damage per hit; whether its level is 120 or 305. Go to Titan and it might bump it up to 55. The enemies scale up with you. So essentially you never...

    Yep. Index funds (Vanguard or Fidelity) for the lowest fees. Diversify within them as you like. Personally I find the Total Market index to plenty of diversification for me, but will eventually add the Vanguard Bond fund (closer to retirement), and possibly the international. There's also...

    3 weeks after the console launch, apparently the daily logons were down 78% (from some YouTube channel, I don't care enough to verify). I'd imagine PC isn't much better a month after release. And pretty much everywhere I go to read about the game, everyone's quit. Everyone who bought the...

    I spent a shit load of time in this game starting sometime in the summer (2000 hours). But I realized that I hadn't actually been playing the game. 99% of it was afk. Mostly training horses. And then I was sitting there like, why the fuck am I even bothering? Finally uninstalled it. It's a game...

    I would just be more concerned with some future scenario that you get denied health insurance because your provider bought the DNA information. If health insurance in the United States wasn't so up in the air right now maybe I could sleep easier, but right now who the fuck knows what will happen.
