    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I haven't the foggiest idea of what a catch in the NFL is anymore.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Why kind of Redskins fan roots for a division rival in the Super Bowl?

    Altered Carbon

    This thread is fucking terrible, by the way. Watched the first episode and wanted to see what people thought. All of you are just bitching about "it's not like the book." You realize how insufferable that is?

    Yeah, I'm at like 2400 ducats right now. Part of that is that we're going to Disneyland that weekend and I'll be back late Saturday. Anyway, there's a bug right now with Loki (saw on reddit) where if your Loki is invis, but you're in operator mode while it runs out, it gives you perma-invis. I...

    And yet, people were saying that at $12k, and $10k. Maybe stop thinking you know what the fuck is going on.

    Ha! Caught that last night. Trebek has been pretty sarcastically mocking a lot lately. But this one was the best.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    So I made it the entire year without watching a single NFL game. But I saw the Smith thing this morning and I just had to laugh. Being a (former?) Redskins fan, shit like that really helps reinforce the decision not to support the NFL. Why bother following a team that just continues to make...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Hopefully no one else bothered getting up super early for the "Super Blue Blood Moon." Even though I'm in California which was supposed to be one of the best places to see it, it was a gigantic disappointment. It's no wonder people roll their eyes at shit like the solar eclipse (something I...

    Huh? We've been playing 1.0 for a while now. It looks like it was a sarcastic comment about how they released with a completely fucking broken game.

    Subnautica

    Haven't played this in like 2 years. I swear I read something that they got rid of the building aspect of it? Is that true? If so that'd be a real bummer, because building a sea base was the best part. Plus it gave you a good place to run back to when shit got too real. Edit: Looks like it was...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    Wasn't sure where to post this, but I wanted to change out my gym speakers. Currently using what used to be a 5.1 setup, but I want to go with some ceiling speakers to free up some floor space. The room is 10'x26', although the actual area where the speakers would be is more like 10'x20'. I...

    Yeah, already bought Reach and Continuity. Gonna need more credits, mostly because I started leveling them after I bought. Dipped down below 100k. I'll also probably need to do some prime part farming before he takes off. Want to get Primed Cryo Rounds, Prisma Shade, and the Archwing mod, before...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Yeah, they blew it because that was the first impression for PC gamers. There are enough PC options that you don't generally go back for a shitty game a year later. Console players might have more leeway because of Destiny 1, but even then, why come back to Destiny 2 if Destiny 1 is what you...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Was bored at work and decided to check this thread to see what was up. Apparently people just aren't talking about it anymore. Dead game. Uninstalled it back in November and haven't even thought about it much.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I just think of a game like Dota where they absolutely clean up on shit like cosmetics and compendiums. Give players something fun and they'll buy it. Loot boxes just make me want to stop playing your game.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I just don't understand why everyone decided loot boxes was the best method for this. Why not just a flat amount? Hey, you want this shitty t-shirt? That'll be 25 cents. Want that cool biker jacket? $5. You still have your cosmetics, but it's not locked behind some obscene game of chance for...

    Their ranking system never made sense to me either way. Prior to the long break, it seemed like the more we played the higher our rank. Think we all ended up around top 1000.

    Played last night for the first time since September. Won 3 fpp squad games (all on the old map), including back to backs. My aim feels like shit now, but apparently everyone still sucks.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Yesterday my wife found some used dumbbells for sale and asked me if I wanted them. 2 ea of 25-55, and then 1 of 60-80 (and for some reason a 3rd 55). The whole lot for $300! Score (31 cents a pound). We currently have up to 35's, and I had been tempted in the last week to spend $100 each for...

    Where do you all go to farm Axi relics? Everywhere says Xini, but public matchmaking almost never works for it. I've grabbed a few from doing the Lua/Stofler mission (since people need to run 15 rounds for Sedna I think), and also Derelict Survival, but those seem kind of less than ideal. I...

    Not sure if it needed a new thread, but I'm wondering if I made the right decision to go with a Ryzen instead of sticking to Intel this time around. Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign

    I'd wait around for a 50 or 75% off coupon. I'm at almost 100 hours in and decided to drop $12.50 for 1000 platinum with a 75% off coupon. I'm finally now just getting comfortable with the game. The amount of content is staggering. I'm still not doing a lot of the content there is. If you're...

    Surprised you lasted 2 months. I only did 3 or 4 weeks and I was doing a lot of grinding to 305. I'm still amazed at how shallow this ended up being.

    Steam in 2017

    I think the best thing to ever happen for Warframe was Destiny 2. I heard so much about how Warframe is the game Destiny 2 should have been. I'm a little surprised that Ark is still there, and also (maybe) GTA V.

    That looks like some stupid Crossfit inspired workout. I wanted to stop watching after he bounced every deadlift rep (it's called dead lift for a reason). Only kept watching because of the blonde.

    Was excited because I've been playing quite a bit more and wanted to finally get some loot from Baro. Was really disappointed to find that it has an MR 8 minimum to get to the relay though. I was hoping to grind from MR 6 to 8 before he disappeared (halfway through 7 right now), but I've kind...

    BDO is a good MMO to play if you really love those afk click type games. Seriously, after the first 10-15 hours, you basically "stop" playing the game and just afk it. I have 2000 hours into it, and less than 100 of those were active.

    Nocturnal Animals (2016)

    Finally got around to it. I'll agree that Shannon was good. I kept expecting his character to be in on it. Or possibly setting up Gyllenhaal's character (giving him the gun to put prints on it, killing the guy, etc). There was that 2nd car at the very beginning blocking them, that eventually...

    Speaking of clothing, I was tempted to buy some jeans on Amazon the other day, but I realized that jeans vary so much from pair to pair. I don't know why this is, but the coloring, cut, and sizing can all be vastly different even with the same brand/style/sizing. So I'll end up going to a B&M...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    I mean, how is gaming any different than TV? Or books? Or solo hobbies? What makes ignoring reality okay for one but not the other? Basically I think it comes back to gaming is still not considered main stream, and people don't like what they don't understand.

    Tax Reform and You

    Probably need to stop listening to the media. The tax break really was mostly for the middle class. From what I've read, the $300k (might be $390k) to about $700k range is where people get kind of screwed. It really just moved the "AMT get fucked" income bracket a bit higher than it used to be.
