Excellent! Thanks a ton. Redeemed the HGTE code. First time I've actually followed through with redeeming a code from the boards. Will definitely repay in kind next time I get one. Edit: Weird that it didn't work for the two posts above mine. For reference, I have an EVGA 1060 6gb SSC.

My wife heard good things about the finale, so we tried to watch the first episode. Made it about 40 minutes before we said fuck it. Then I read through this entire thread. Seems like almost no one liked it, and half the ones who did I have little actual respect for their opinions on anything...

I wish I had half the skill of some of those people.

My brother-in-law just texted me about a plan for California to get rid of daylight saving time. I thought he was making a Jonah Ryan quip. But nope, apparently it's real, California lawmakers take a (small) first step to doing away with Daylight Saving Time

Whatever, dude. I pay fucking $65 a month for this awesome service. With a 250gb cap, no less. It's like 2002 over here.

Well shit, I'm not sure that's the news I was hoping for. Buddy of mine and I played 4 duo's last night. We had 2 top 10 and a win. Now I feel like I'm going to have a massive losing streak, because I am not that good.

Does anyone know if any of your rankings have an effect on who you get matched with? I ask because I read someone talking about how they were top 250 and mostly got matched with high ranked people. I had assumed it was completely random every time, but is that not correct?

"Police chief who hates solving crimes" is one of the worst tropes. Feels like such lazy writing. The next episode better blow me away, because I'm getting ready to move on from this show.

I was watching Grimmmz match, and he basically just used it as a harass tool. He was using it to force a player to run a direction he wanted, since you can't really tell where the shots are from. But as far as killing anyone, it seems worthless. Just watched a Dr/Ninja duo. 1v1 at the end, and...

I don't believe either of those is the crash that I'm talking about though. I certainly know the one I had last night wasn't caused by either of those things.

Wish they'd fix whatever it is that caused people to start crashing. Seems every 3rd game or so it happens to at least one person.

Was rooting for the Preds anyway, but now I really have to.

That was fucking great. Veep really does have some of the best insults.

It depends on what the index is tracking. You can find index funds that track very broad asset classes, and some that are very focused on one small one. Morningstar is a good website to do some research as they'll show you what sectors, asset allocation, and market cap the fund is invested in...

I didn't put in my two cents to your comments before, but my criticism of the show has nothing to do with "jumping the shark." It's got everything to do with circular writing. And honestly, it's still funny. But without Bachman, I don't feel like the rest of the characters can carry the show...

I'd put the likelihood of Tai coming back at pretty high. Probst has a pretty big hard on for him. Which, speaking of, his love affair with Cirie was disgusting this season. From the weird shit with her doing the challenge well after it was over, to the tribal without votes where he wanted to...

Season 5 confirmed last season of Silicon Valley then. The others in that house will in no way be able to carry the show.

What was episode 3? So far I don't feel like this season is living up to the standards set by the first two. Hopefully they can tie it up together nicely, because right now it's just confusing.

Watching DrDisRespect, and yeah, looks like the looting thing wasn't fixed. That said, the servers look like an absolute fucking mess. He got stuck in some weird lag loop for like 90 seconds. Video: Dr jamming out

I have a feeling Brad having been an NFL player screwed him. If you've got kind of a toss up slightly in favor of Brad, but your choice is give him another million or a cop, I think the cop becomes a very palatable decision. Sarah didn't play a bad game, per se. But Brad played significantly...

I guess not many were watching? Or went to bed early? I liked the prospect of them having a conversation about "outwit, outlast, outplay" but it needed to be more directed. Michaela rubs me the wrong way every time she talks. She's really just insufferable. I can't even figure out what she was...

Wow, people saying they're getting 20-30 more fps on the test server.

Just posting before the episode ends, but that Cirie tribal was ridiculous. Not unexpected, based on how many "things" there were to play, but nonetheless kind of satisfying. Tai once again finds a ton of idols and plays them like a fucking moron. He told everyone but Sarah and Cirie, and then...

I guess I never noticed a difference between right clicking and drag dropping, so it probably won't effect me. I did notice one between inventory looting and "F" looting though. But maybe the transition is so slight I didn't pay attention.

Maybe it's nothing then. I hope so.

They're adding a loot animation from inventory. Not really sure what it entails so I can't speak to it, but I don't like it either way.

Not sure I'm going to like the change to looting. I haven't seen how dramatic the animation is, but my gut reaction is that this is a bad change. You're already incredibly vulnerable when looting; I feel like this makes it a death sentence.

The sad thing is when you look at the specs, it's already outclassed by medium range gaming PC's.

Wait, do you mean Lost? Or...shit, did Lost rip off Gilligan's Island? Also, regarding your 2nd paragraph, I think that's why I like Veep so much right now. It went from VP to President, to now ex-President. And with Silicon Valley that would kill the premise (they need to stay in the incubator...

This may not be the place to ask, but since you brought it up, has anyone had luck with getting an Xbox controller to work on Steam Link for ZSNES? I can get ZSNES to work on Steam Link just fine, but the controller is a fucking nightmare (it doesn't want to map all the buttons).

Best line from this week was his half and half one. Also, for how much funnier Veep is, it's amazing it gets almost no posts compared to this show.

Just buy Stardew Valley instead.

This looks awesome. Anyone played it yet? Edit: Oh, zombies were people. This isn't a mod. Damn...

Yeah, I like Gaston. He's probably one of the more popular Disney villains. Also, I find it strange that this is coming out on DVD already and it's still in theaters. Watched a Bluray rip last night, and went to confirm that our local theater is in fact still showing it. Bizarre.

I'm amazed at how off it was. I anticipate I'll actually start doing way better now. I've been pretty shit at anticipating where the bullets would go.

That's weird, because I have the complete opposite opinion. I think duo is easiest and solo is hardest.

Just booked our flight for Kauai for 2 weeks in October. Hawaii has been on our "must do" list before we leave the west coast. And I've done a lot of work in support of stuff at Barking Sands and everyone says Kauai is probably the best fit for us (we'll likely make a second trip and go to the...

That's not what I expected from your description. Man, that's terrible. I'd rip that shit out immediately.

That sounds like a terrible idea. You'll never win with one guy holding all your meds. Game is way too fast for that. No one is going to want to watch a team playing a "game within a game" where they've handicapped themselves against 96 other people.

So this is a complete noob question, and probably not appropriate for the Destiny 2 thread on this particular date, but can anyone explain to me what the fuck Destiny is? Got a friend wanting to play it when it comes out, but I don't know shit about Destiny. I feel like I remember hearing...
