    It's a little late on the response, but I bought an EVGA 1060 SSC and I've got nothing but good things to say. It's slightly more than the ones linked, however. I kind of wanted a 1070, but that would've been at least $100 more. And I currently only game at 1080p anyway, with no plans to...

    Black Desert

    Yesterday while I was at work I set an auto run with trade pack, and came home to find myself stuck in a corner having made almost no progress. Did another one overnight, and woke up to a "Disconnected from server message." Kind of getting annoyed that I can't afk train something that is...

    Dirty secret of cleaner energy is that shit takes forever to pay off. There are massive solar and wind farms in California, but my electric rates are obscene (14-24+ cents per kWh, in tiers). Yeah, it's cool and all that it's renewable, but the fixed cost on that shit means I pay out the ass.

    Yeah, I plan on grabbing The Long Dark before this is over. Maybe The Forest and Stranded Deep as well. I kind of have a hard on for those survival games.

    I agreed with this a few years ago, but if you do a little research into the game it should be evidenced how polished it is. For instance, 7 Days to Die I've put in almost 200 hours into, and it may never get released. But it's pretty darn polished. The EA thing is that it's just getting tons of...

    Black Desert

    I love the combat. It's definitely grindy, but in a fun way. I can grind out a level in 30 minutes (just hit 40 myself). I may change my mind 50+, we'll see. It's not like sitting in a camp grinding mobs a la EQ though. It's basically smash the shit out of everything you see. I also noticed...

    Good deal. For $8 I see no reason not to pick it up then. Edit: Went ahead and bought it. Downloading now, we'll see how long that takes. Will probably bumblefuck my way through this weekend. Thinking Dark Knight, but I really know next to nothing about this game.

    We didn't get a scene of Emmett picking up his license/registration and busted up phone. Seems like that would've pinned him to the scene of a double homicide. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that he did it and it wasn't shown, but it seems like it they could have done a quick shot of...

    Wondering if this game is worthwhile solo? I know that kind of defeats the purpose of an MMO, but I doubt I convince anyone to play. Plus I'm kind of non-committal to forced playtime.

    Not sure if I want Darkest Dungeon after seeing some of the comments in that thread recently. Only other games that I've had in my wishlist are Starbound, Stranded Deep, and The Forest. Kind of meh.

    I actually got suspended for a week in middle school because someone said "Mrs. X is on top of things" and I responded "I bet she likes it on top." The teacher didn't actually hear me say it either, it was just some shit she heard later on and apparently took so much offense to decided I needed...

    This thread is great. I had put off watching last season for a while, and watched the first two episodes recently. Read through the thread and confirmed my suspicions that this show sucks now. Deleted the remaining episodes and scratched it from Sonarr completely. It had a good run.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I don't know if there are hackers, but I ragequit on Saturday night because of dying to what seemed like bullshit. It's frustrating when you lose a game without seeing another person and shooting back. It's infuriating when you have 5 matches in a row like that. I don't necessarily want to...

    7 Days to Die

    I don't follow the console releases, but I'd say it's quite a ways off. A15 was around for like a year. And like I said in the above post, I think consoles are on an equivalent to A14.

    The dry heat thing is legit. I moved out here from Kentucky in the summer, and it was instantaneously noticeable. That said, once you get above about 105 it's just fucking hot. You don't really care anymore at that point. Also, for the deserts (the places hitting the 110-120's this week)...

    7 Days to Die

    Not sure if any of you play this anymore, but the A16 (PC) update is in experimental and should be live in the next week or two. My personal experience so far is that this update is amazing. No longer are cities in a rectangular grid. They feel much more organic. The mechanics for zombies are...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Geez. Not sure if I'm more annoyed by Bethesda for making such a fucking retarded sized game, or my ISP for my shitty cap in 2017. Either way, this game is a non-starter for me because of it. Kind of a shame.

    Does anyone know what the install size is? Googling says anywhere from 50-80gb. I'm capped at 250gb a month, and 50gb is already pushing it for me to play. Not sure the game is even worth playing, but I'm tossing the idea around.

    So I was kind of wondering if this would be the final season, since it hasn't been renewed. But with only one episode left, there's no way they wrap everything up, is there?

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I'm fine with it only lasting 2-3 months. I think I played The Division for just a month and had a blast. But then you hit the inevitable "broken" part of the game and move on.

    E3 2017

    Archeage was kind of like an MMO pirate game...as part of it. Unfortunately the rest of the game was a clusterfuck due to bad developer decisions. But we had a lot of fun with some of those ship battles early after release (and pre-release).

    Silicon Valley

    Tenks was responding about last week. Which was a good one. This is a comedy though, and I don't remember laughing once for this week's episode. I could tell they were going for jokes (the matching pajamas, Haley Joel Osment's dude-bro attitude) but they all fell VERY flat.

    Silicon Valley

    Not a single laugh that episode. Seems like a bad sign for a comedy. Richard really is an insufferable cunt. As great as Ed Chambers was last week, episodes like this will make it a lot easier to walk away from this show after this season.
