    Crazy, my wife's childhood neighbor and her family live in Long Grove (since at least like 2007, probably longer). Don't remember hearing about that.

    Center is the costume one I think? Never done it. The two in the corners are Garmoth (or one if you do the other hearts).

    7 Days to Die

    Yeah, the skill book versus loot thing is huge. Like in my playthrough I was doing sledge. I got a tier 6 steel sledge from a quest reward when I think I was still on iron or maybe tier 1-2 steel craftable. What's the point in me continuing to find books at that point? I basically got the...

    So many shows seem to do that thing where they keep trying to get the audience to love a character and everyone hates them. I don't know what their hard on is for Ellis, but he fucking sucks.

    Ted Lasso

    Wife and I were huge fans of it the first season. I think we got to episode 5 or 6 of season 3 and just can't make ourselves finish it. The last one we were watching I guess we assumed these were 30 minutes. We were both getting super antsy and just wanted the fucking thing to be over. Every...

    7 Days to Die

    So I kicked around on A21 a bit, and then a little for a day or two after stable. I decided to try something else in the event I can convince my friends to give this one another go (think we've played it two or three times over the years, usually fizzling out around the 3rd or 4th horde night...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    Was going to say the same. EQ really ruined my formative years. Yeah, everything turned out fine and I'm happy with where I'm at, but I shouldn't have spent high school playing video games. And same with me and DOTA. I haven't played it in forever. Heck, I never really played it much cause I...

    Inertia maybe? Lots of money has been sitting on the sidelines, and with things running up, no one wants to miss the boat. Also see my post a week or two ago about all the boomers who probably sold over the last 1-2 years. They're probably seeing now as a good time to get back in (despite the...

    I'd argue we already had the recession, just none of the government's cooked metrics reflected it. Heck, the textbook one of GDP they decided deserved a new definition and made it no longer a recession. That said, I honestly expected us to dip much lower than we did earlier in the year. But I...

    Dang, markets broke higher pretty strong today. Will definitely make my quarterly account balance look good if there's no profit taking later today.

    So we kept that dog for a few weeks, but he really never adjusted. We had the breeder over to visit a couple times and his attitude was just a complete 180 when she was around. We offered to do short term fostering of him to work on socializing and training him until he got adopted, but she...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    No, Fran Drescher was raped. My guess is watching it happen probably fucked him up and he lost the taste for pussy out of guilt. "I can't do that to a woman!"

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Sounds like the rape was in the 80's. And it also sounds like that trauma made him gay. No journalist will ever make that connection though.

    Holy shit, what an asshole. And what a fucking joke the military has become. I saw less overreaction to people being shit faced in a warzone (ignoring the celebration).

    Silo

    The entire Silo is hunting you down and trying to kill you, but you take the time to watch the entire love video your dead boyfriend sent you, completely oblivious to everything else (twice!). And the other files that, you know, they're trying to kill you for and would give you answers? Well...

    I know I like to shit on Hollywood for not coming up with anything worthwhile, but this is definitely a standout show. Only watched the first episode, but it seems to be about the same quality. It's setting up with the obvious conflict being the money thing...again. Not sure if I want to burn...

    The weight is the big one to me. Like I bought a bunch of weight on a zerker that I probably have no intentions of playing. Although, I honestly don't know what I'd put it on instead. But I'm sure there's someone out there that changed their main and wants to dump all that stuff on it.

    If you've been wanting to change your main, like, legit change it, now is the time. 14 days of guild buffs which include weapon exchange coupons, health/breath/strength exchange, combat/skill exp exchange, and most of all, an inventory/weight exchange coupon.

    I'm not a huge fan of it. It's just a fucking retarded amount of books you need. Feel like my entire playthrough is just trying to find books. That said, all the rest of it is good shit. Although I did go into a city today while it was raining and my FPS went into the shitter. I liked back in...

    I'm always amazed at how over leveraged people are on cars. And most of all like you said, where they trade in their car for a fraction of its value to go in for an even more unaffordable car. Even at our highest incomes, I can't imagine having a $500+ monthly car loan. Talk about pissing money...

    I'm assuming that whatever the music box monster is is more powerful than the slow walkers and they're scared of it. And cicadas are somehow tied in. But yeah, this show didn't need to add any additional mysteries.

    Really expected more to happen with only one left. Feels like the only thing we got was that maybe the dead people's nightmares were what lives in the forest, and that's conjecture. I've hated the junkie girlfriend storyline, so I hope she dies. But since she didn't yet, I'm sure they'll save...

    It's the problem of market consolidation at the top. They drive the major indexes, but they're not the economy.

    Almost caught up, but yeah. I hate nitpicking, but this is ridiculous. "Hey, I've got these weird worms in my arm." "Wow, Boyd's lost it, what a lunatic."

    So this expansion is ass. It's got the same problem I was talking about with Lost Ark, where you've got this decent new content, but you lock it behind a weekly timer. If you've done the story and journals, and you've hit your 5 weeklies, there's literally zero reason to be on the new...

    I haven't been in a while, but I know that I had no data at all available prior to the changeover.

    I've tried other classes and yeah, I can't give up the movement of Lahn. It's just so damn handy. It's basically the reason Arduanatt is vastly superior to the other dream horses, but in class form. Especially with Land of Morning Light, having Lahn and Arduanatt was like cheat mode.

    Really thought today would be much more red. Seems like everyone was saving it for power hour, but I doubt we see much more than 1% pullback. And considering how high we've gone the last month, that's not much.
