    Investing General Discussion

    I highly recommend you don't try to do active trading for long term investing. And if you're not doing active trading, .25% is abysmal. Open an account with Vanguard or Fidelity, pick one of the numerous .04-.07% index funds, and stop trying to think you're smarter than the market.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    One thing that bothers me is how quickly Daenerys drops everything and flies north. Why the fuck didn't she just go to begin with? What could have possibly been written with that raven that changes mind from "fuck you all" to "I'm on my way" in such a hurry?

    The Astronomy Thread

    We flew to visit my wife's family, who are between Hopkinsville and Carbondale. Which is basically dead center between the two big points. Was pretty awesome. Sounds like everyone north and south of us had clouds. We got to see everything, including the shadow snakes (prior to C2, C3 they...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Apparently on Reddit they did some kind of straw poll and 1st person is the overwhelming favorite. I definitely agree, mostly due to the bullshit of hiding behind stuff and getting sniped. My only complaint is they really need to get the leaderboard activated for it. We've been winning...

    I mean, it kind of has to be when you introduce a character that can time travel.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I mean, we talk about some of the big trips, but even Tormund just waltzed up to the wall from Winterfell in the blink of an eye. That looks to be, what, 3-4x the distance between Hardhome and the wall? And that was literally just one episode.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I get that. As viewers, we're waiting for that event. But for the characters of the show, they can't know that the wall will inevitably have some trigger event that allows them to pass through. That'd be ridiculous. The whole thing just points back to terrible writing by GRRM, similar to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    At some point did we get some exposition about the White Walkers marching towards the wall? Because even if not, that's the impression we've got. If every time we saw them they were wrecking some shit, it might make sense. But if they've been "marching towards the wall" for the last 4 or 5...

    Sonic Mania

    I don't know why they couldn't do something like Mario Galaxy type levels (without all the pits and shit to fall into space) with super zoomed out 3rd person. By zooming out you can avoid the speed feeling too fast.

    Steam Early Access Gaming - Guilty Pleasure Pick-Ups

    I've actually probably put in more hours into EA games than released at this point. Between PUBG, Rust, and 7 Days to Die I've got a ridiculous amount of hours. I'd say only Dota 2 has more into it than those.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If you'd read the books, you'd know the answer to that question is yes. Right about the time she got captured by the Dothraki (where she threw her shit in the field for Friendzone to find it).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jumping on the lazy writing bandwagon, this is absolutely what will happen. What could be explained away by a rational conversation that two people would normally have will get the TV show treatment of, "we'll just talk around it." I don't even blame the GoT writers for that one, because almost...

    Sonic Mania

    Shit, that sounds amazing. Not really sure of the appeal of a 2D Sonic game. I get that there's a lot of money in toned down graphics ever since Minecraft, but this one feels like a money grab.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'd say this was just a throwaway without any forethought. I think I remember a book scene with Tyrion where it was stated something to the extent of a single gold dragon was more money than most common people would ever see in their lifetimes. For a guard to get a kickback of 5 would be...

    Anyone else think that scene was just kind of thrown in randomly? It didn't have very much flow with either the scenes before or after it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Davos, Gendry, Tormund, and The Hound bringing the lulz this episode. Pretty fucking excited for the shit beyond the wall. That's like the all star cast of who's remaining on the show that I actually like.

    Kind of annoyed since I have no idea where the recording for our 2nd win went. It was like 2 games after the first, too. And there are games recorded after. Oh well.

    She just seems like a shitty person. Like, when Jessica went home, Josh started his fucking circus song and Christmas joined in (was hard to hear because of how loud he is). I don't know if it's because of Jessica and Cody, but this entire cast really seem like shitty people. I can't root for...

    No idea how they pulled that out. They got shit on in laning. It was like 0-12 or something? Pretty sure Liquid has TI. For Newbee to win 3 in a row seems unlikely.

    DOTA 2

    Most of the time in TI the only time anyone gg's out is if it's absolutely hopeless. In game 1 of the finals here, Newbee was all out of buybacks. They literally probably only saved 1-2 minutes of watching Liquid beat on their buildings. Last year there were quite a few matches where teams...

    I just meant I was watching his stream and his team dominated hard core. I don't even know what TSM is. Reported for hacking. I'm definitely liking FPP. I feel like my aim is a lot better. We won two squad games last night, and had quite a few top 3 finishes.

    Speaking of, seems like the streamers playing first person squads are fucking killing it. Doc's squad I think have won 9 of the last 10. Now, maybe that's because the leaderboard isn't in yet, but it definitely shows how fucked up third person is.
