Kind of feels like the Iron Bank was written by some fat old dude who had no understanding of how banking actually works. Iron Bank isn't a very well run bank. It seems like he was going for a whole "Rothschild's funding both sides of the war" thing, but in this case it would end with the...

Honestly with this game, if you get 3-4+ kills it kind of feels like "winning." Getting an actual chicken dinner win is like a completely different euphoria. Like you've conquered the world.

Holy shit though, for $40 you should get everything right off the bat. I mean, 7 Days to Die you can pick up for $10.

Not sure who/what you're responding to there. But if you want a really in depth read on why I don't give too much of a shit about CAPE, go here: Fixing the Shiller CAPE: Accounting, Dividends, and the Permanently High Plateau I pointed out GAAP before: So a "high" CAPE is meaningless because...

Wow, yeah, for some reason I had been thinking Dragonstone was further south towards Dorne. The fact that it sits at the entrance to the inlet that leads to King's Landing makes it a massive choke point for the city.

Maybe that's how you truly become a "Faceless Man?" You have to settle whatever personal shit you had going on, then you can become one. It'd be an unwritten step that you figure out yourself.

The thing is, people have been saying that valuations are high and we're due for another massive drop every year since 2011. I'm not sure Shiller is the best person to listen here, because he's got a vested interest in his P/E ratio looking "right." GAAC changes in the early 2000's really...

ham top, Gilg bottom

I'd say a very large portion of the success PUBG has had to this point is due to Twitch. It became one of the most streamed games really rapidly, and that fueled sales. Summit, Lirik, DrDisrespect, etc, are basically indirectly responsible for the shit tons of money PU has made. To get in a...

I picked up a Corsair K70 Lux RGB with browns on Prime Day. First mechanical keyboard I've had, as I didn't want to justify the price. But I had been using a crappy ~$20 keyboard I had stolen from an employer like a decade ago, so figured it was time to upgrade. So far I'm a big fan. It's still...

I've considered offing a random draw teammate just because I don't know if I can trust them. Same situation, really. Maybe the default shouldn't be that shit being automatically checked for a 3 man squad? I don't think I should get a ban for it.

Honestly, I don't get it? If team killing is bannable, why is it even a thing allowable? Seems ridiculous.

I fucking love these.

He definitely had a "former 80's hair band front man" look going on. I almost feel like his outfit was more jarring than Ed Sheeran.

This is really GRRM's fault. Holy fuck AFFC and ADWD were boring as shit. I can't even remember how many fucking chapters of Tyrion watching turtles on the river there were.

The travel thing is definitely starting to become a bit jarring. If Euron ends up traveling to wherever the fuck and getting the horn, then all the way back to Kings Landing before the horde hits, it's just going to be hard to buy. I half expected Melisandre to greet Daenerys, because that...

Female empowerment has always been a part of this. I mean, ffs we have Cersei and Daenerys. It's not a new theme with the introduction of Lyanna Mormont. The fact that this is what half the thread is about since the episode definitely shows that this episode wasn't as strong as some of you are...

It's weird, because I thought the episode was just okay, but this might be the first time watching the show where I paid a lot of attention to the sets. Dragonstone, the Citadel, and Winterfell all looked like they cost a fucking fortune to build.

So apparently whenever I originally installed Windows 7, it put the master boot record on a different hard drive (or maybe I moved hard drives, don't remember). I'm on Win10 now, and was going to remove the hard drive, but all that it currently on it is the MBR. So upon booting I got a no...

I think maybe that's why this show annoys me. "Oh, you want to offer me millions of dollars? Nah, fuck that, I'm going to live in this guy's spare bedroom instead!"

I still would have been pissed that he just completely left his alliance out of his thinking. He literally told no one what he was doing. Dude is a headcase.

Pssh, next you'll be telling me it's not actually Berenstein Bears, but Berenstain Bears.

I do like the change to reviving when you were zoomed. But otherwise who cares? That said, the last patch where the improved the reload time is still amazing to me every time. Before it'd stay on that black splash screen forever. Now it's like immediate load back to lobby.

I've got a couple hundred hours into it. It's got an interesting learning curve. I think my first impression was that the graphics are terrible, but eventually you get used to the voxels. Once you get the gist of how the game works, I think it's an awesome crafting/survival game (although...

They say 401k to company match because it's an automatic 50-100% return (depending on how they match). But realistically, you should just max it if you can. I'm not a huge fan of the Roth IRA, unless you're poor. Like, under the 10% tax bracket poor. And if that's the case, you're not doing a 401k.

Eh? Are you trying to day trade with your Roth IRA? That's...not how that works. You're going to destroy your entire IRA with short term capital gains and penalties.

I haven't played much since the last patch, but I gotta say this new circle shit is nice. SO much better than it had been. First match of the night we had a 3 of us, but forgot to uncheck the auto-matching. We ended up winning. Was kind of a mind fuck because the entire match I wasn't sure if...

So how do these boss scrolls work? I didn't realize they had a timer on them, so now my Bheg's scroll has 6 days left. But it sounds like people end up with several? Are they just collecting them for weeks before combining (and then where are they storing all the pieces; I think Bheg's was 5 to...

Cody won't last long. Dude is playing his own fucking game. Plus he's got some weird love triangle thing of his own making.

Nice, PC beta in August?

Dark Knight. I think I've decided against upgrading gear myself (currently have a +13 Krea weapon, and +10 blue Grunil set that I did myself). Fail stacking system seems fucking stupid. I'd rather just farm and buy what I want. The Jarette's gear I have (2x rings and earrings) kind of seem...

That's pretty much what I was referring to. The blue/red coral shit. It's recommended by every guide, but so far out of my price range. Maybe I just haven't figured out a decent way to make money yet.

So my only complaint about the game right now is that shit is insanely overpriced. Like, a lot of guides will say "Buy this item for 50-56." The problem is, the economy is so out of whack, that I'd never be able to afford it. What used to be $1-2M silver is now $20-25M. As such, I'm 53 with...

Ha! Yeah, I've basically told my wife not to stream with Amazon because it'll crush our data cap in a single day. Netflix has a bandwidth option to lower the quality.

Yeah. We had one a while ago where it was final circle, and after about 5 minutes it just randomed people to die.

But...your map you just posted says villa. WTF? And actually, I think I remember it actually being that tiny little town NW of Polyana. There's only like 6 or 7 buildings there and I found 3 scopes.

The other night, I can't remember where on the map, but I ended up with 3 4x scopes for my squad. I want to say it was the tiny little shit houses near Villa (north of crater, dunno if that's what everyone else calls it).

Sort of related, but Stafford is one lucky motherfucker. Getting in on the back end of those #1 overall pick rookie contracts really set him for life. I mean, he would've been fine with the current setup too, but damn did he clean up.

That comparison was shit anyway. "We compared an overclocked Intel to the base 1700...because reasons!" Yeah, okay then...

Oh, holy fuck. Hadn't seen just how bad the mining thing had jacked up costs. My 1060 SSC was like $250, minus a $10 rebate. Disregard then. Fucking hell.
