    Jesus, this was quite the experience. I started off kind of being amazed at all the little details they included and I was like "I'll post about that." But there were so many, from those fucking water bottles, to those god damn plastic chairs that were everywhere, to the little toughbook...

    I'm confused by that. The US 30 year is at almost 5%. Why would Japan's 3% be a big wtf? The zero and negative interest rates were insane several years ago.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Went ahead and finished. This game is damn spectacular. The music, the art, the story. All incredible. It's even got the narrative piece that Mike from RLM mentioned recently, the "if you were in their position, what would you do?" I don't play a ton of games, but this one is by far the best...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Oh shit, well that's the actual easter egg then. I started watching the Asmon Act 2 playthrough video, and it's crazy how different the story is when you know what's going on. I had the same reactions he did when playing, of "what the fuck is even going on." I had theories of who was actually...

    I mean, everyone called how retarded this shit was to begin with. The ABS part is new. But still, the company will likely bankrupt before the end of the year, not even remotely making it close to the end of the decade. Anyone who loses money on this one deserves it. It doesn't (hopefully) have...

    Oh, there was one other thing that I remembered last night when I was finishing up the relationship stuff. I don't know that I'd call it an easter egg cause you literally would have to walk 5 feet off the main path to see, but some people might miss it. Act 2 ending/epilogue spoiler:

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Yeah, I ran into that Grosse Tete guy by accident, killed him, and my game crashed. Looked it up after and saw that it's a missable if you don't have Monoco for that one kill and skill. Loaded an older save, and now I've just got him in my party permanently. Basically, he almost never does...

    I never really used Monoco. His ability seems super gimmicky. Although, I could say the same about Sciel who I also use.

    Making a separate post, but I went back and reread a bunch of the thread, and someone posted a Twitter post that said they were making this a movie. When I was in Act 1, I thought this would make an awesome movie. Now? There's no way you can condense this shit into even 3 hours. It really needs...

    Yeah, this. I'm only slightly ahead of you (around level 80). Although I'd throw Frozen Hearts in there after The Reacher (Maelle's side quest). And if you can bumblefuck you way through it all and keep pumping Maelle, you can do Dark Shores and grab Corpseso and tons of Grandiose and start...

    Absolutely not, especially not with today's mortgage rates. Shit, put it in CD's if it's money you need in the short term but it's burning a hole in your pocket. Homes are generally not the greatest investments. They "work" because you need a place to live anyway, so you're taking that rent...

    Fuuuuck. Just finished up Act 2. I can't wait to see how Hollywood fucks the adaptation of this up. Looking forward to finishing up the story. Those last two bosses of Act 2 were also brutal. As I was doing the Monolith Lumiere I was really getting sick of the fucking parry minigame, but those...

    I went into this blind, and only watched the first episode, but I guess this wasn't what I was expecting at all. Is this supposed to be a comedy? It...didn't really have anything to make me laugh whatsoever, but the tone was clearly supposed to be very lighthearted. I thought this would be some...

    Honestly, I had the same thought. Last year going through the VA for PTSD and a therapist really fucked me up. It was pretty miserable there for a good 8 months, and I'm not sure I particularly want to reopen that wound. Had this one sitting in the queue for a week though. Worse is that not...

    Yeah, I finally got around to this one a few days ago. Really enjoying it. Earlier in the thread I shit on RPGs with a ton of story, but this one is very engaging. Act two is insanely long. Figured after act one, the whole thing would be like 20ish hours, but it's looking like act two alone is a...

    Reminds me of Walking Dead. I don't know how people lasted as long watching that shit as they have. I still haven't attempted this season of Last of Us. It sounds like I should probably just skip it entirely.

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    People don't use the top of the scale either. They think a 10/10 movie is perfect. Look at the IMDB top 250, and the top 7 are in the low 9's. After that, they're all 8's. Likewise, the bottom doesn't have any 1's. Certainly there are movies so terrible they deserve it, but nope.

    It's the same thing as how Facebook is still making money, and like you said in the post before this, it's basically just going to be boomers propping up Google until they eventually die off if they can't figure out a way to make more money. I'm not an IT person anymore, but it sounds like AWS...

    It was...fine. Somehow they managed to make something more boring than actually just watching the episodes themselves. All that other crap just took all the wind out of the sails of the excitement that was the event. Yeah, maybe it gave some backstory, but it seemed low stakes and I have no...

    I mentioned it a while back, but there was an approximately 1600 sqft trailer in Orange Beach close to my mother-in-law's place that was renting for $2400 like 3 years ago. I get it though, which is why we want to build there. It's got a 28 mile bike/backcountry trail system, tons of beach...

    7 Days to Die

    That reminds me of one of my favorite bases, which was built on bedrock where I'd dig all the way, make a 3x3 hole, and the bottom would open up. Zombies would fall and either die, or be close to death. You'd make an arena and just pick them off from the upper deck.

    7 Days to Die

    Keep in mind you can remove mods at will. Like, if you get an axe mod, you only need the one for the entire playthrough (unless this got changed recently). I'm not sure if it's still available, but in steam you also used to be able to change the version to experimental builds and go all the way...

    7 Days to Die

    Yeah, at a certain point, the game had skill up on use, and zombies were basically dumb and base building was at its peak because you could experiment with all sorts of fun shit. The devs didn't like that and had some kind of gameplay experience in mind which was the complete opposite of 90% of...

    It was all driven by the tariffs. Of which, we still don't know how they'll impact any companies. That data won't likely come out until Q3 (figure tariffs aren't really hitting until maybe now-ish, and then lag another quarter for the data). It's why the market dropping 20% made absolutely fuck...

    On the flip side, this seems like a horrible time to be selling. Between interest rates that won't go down and sky high prices, houses just aren't selling. Just last night we were walking the dogs and I mentioned to my wife, after passing another house that just put up a sale sign, that they...

    Man, I don't think we ever made it past the 2nd episode of this last season. Edit: Went back and read the last page and apparently I've brought up how we couldn't get past the first two episode 3 times now. My bad, folks.
