    ...and they're going to ship 3800+ of them in 2 months? wtf.

    After a day of using it, the different 'tone' of color is really noticable, especially staring at computer monitors all day and then using the phone. Switched to TMobile today. I already miss Hangouts.

    With more data from other sources they have an 11 day arc of it's orbit, origin is still interstellar. No longer classified as a comet but instead an asteroid.

    Yeah, more data is needed for sure, with what has been observed it sure does stick out though. It's already on it's way back out, so observation opportunities are limited I guess. Came across this guy looking at Twitter for PANSTARRS mentions, does a lot of neat orbital stuff. Tony Dunn...

    Fine so far. The blue shift on tilt doesn't bother me, hopefully I don't have any burn-in issues. Screen is always on, alarm icon probably the best candidate.

    Smartphones

    Liking the new Pixel XL 2 so far. Screen looks like it's floating off of the bezel, maybe because of the rounded corners. Probably have to turn off the squeeze assistant (jokes go here) or make it harder to do, it sometimes triggers in my pocket.

    Grim Dawn

    My biggest issue is I didn't like going back from D3 to the PoE/D2 style. This has been great though, 74 hours in the last 3-4 weeks. Don't have a max level character (currently 71, max is 100, have a couple toons in their teens/20s that I've spent maybe an hour or two each on), haven't...

    So... to farm gear that Grim Wiki doesn't say is a blueprint from some faction... just run around and blow up rares/bosses/the 3 skeleton key dungeons? The game natually slant it towards gear for my class with a mix of the rest for some flavor?

    New zones I'd expect are available at every difficulty. We only did elite because we literally just beat it earlier this week and that's where our highest characters are at progression-wise.

    We dove into the new content for a couple hours last night on Epic w/ our level ~63 toons. I'm already kinda sick of plants and poison, lol.

    I like some of the tweaks to the formula. Some bad guys track me and show up, so it's not just a bunch of set pieces for me to stealth around / dive into. Was fighting an orc and he adapted mid-fight to what I was doing (think I was stunning or vaulting a lot). A time limit to get revenge on...

    BFR was never defined ;) A lot of nice stuff in his presentation, would be nice if it happened. He wants 2 BFRs to have landed cargo on Mars by 2022, 4 rovers, 2 nammed by 2024. Apparently Lockheed Martin has some Mars plans of their own. By comparison they look... antiquated...
