    I think Andrea is playing too hard. She needs to tone it down a bit because she's making herself a target. And Sarah seems completely fucking oblivious to everything around her. I could see her making it to the end as a goat.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    That should be a good one. I like it more when it's a competitive team as opposed to dumpster fire. And the Bucs are certainly trending up. I think it's what made that Cardinals season show on Amazon so good.

    I'm curious to see if you have any issues booting with Ryzen. Post in this thread if you don't mind. I went with the Gigabyte B350 G3 too, but with a 1600 instead of 1600X. It's looking like I'll have to wait until Tuesday for everything to arrive. That's the only thing I'm a little concerned...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I've said it before, but I'm always amazed at how professional athletes can throw away a good thing. The amount of dumb fucks who essentially hit the "life lottery" and then do stupid shit like get into random bar fights, beat their spouses, drive drunk, etc, and destroy their careers is never...

    Yeah, I was waiting for the 580 prices and specs to come out today, and I wasn't impressed. Went ahead and bought a 1060 6GB instead. Same price, similar performance (maybe slightly lower), but a whole fuck load less juice to run it.

    I'm starting to get worried. All of the games have gone into OT now. The Caps just can't capitalize on their chances. Feels like another first round exit for the Caps.

    I've never been a person to buy a computer part on the first day, but due to timing, it's more likely today. Where should we start seeing the RX 580's pop up? So far I don't see any. I'm in a toss up between a 6gb 1060 and the RX 580. Basically my only hangup being the massive power consumption...

    Damn, this sucks. NFL's Todd Heap runs over and kills 3-year-old in Arizona | Daily Mail Online Headline is weird. It's his own daughter, who he accidentally hit when he was moving his truck.

    So I think I've decided on a GTX 1060 with 6GB. I'm heavily weighing between these two: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SSC GAMING ACX 3.0, 6GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC), 06G-P4-6267-KR-Newegg.com GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD Video Card-Newegg.com The EVGA one...

    Yeah, I never understood why Probst kept trying to get Varner on the show. The whole thing is just bizarre to me. Just that tribe you've got 3 gay people (Tai, Varner, Zeke). The whole thing just stinks of pandering to SJW's to me. The most annoying thing is that had Varner just stuck to his...

    I guess they felt they needed to get their SJW episode in. Which is weird when they had like 4 gay competitors this season. It's also strange to me that Varner was the only one who knew. I knew when Zeke's season was on. The whole production of that was just a little gross. It almost seems...

    Just curious, but what's wrong with the power supply? Also have Win10, a 500GB EVO SSD, and plenty of regular HDD space. I should also note that I'm not really into overclocking stuff. I'm just not that hardcore into gaming that I need to squeeze out an extra 5% performance.

    No shit. I was tossing around between trying Rust or 7 Days to Die again, and both have been in Alpha since like 3+ years ago. I'm actually trying to think of the last game I saw that was released as early access on Steam to actually ever get out of alpha.

    If I remember the math correctly, someone who maxes just an IRA should have enough to retire in 30 years. If you start throwing money into a 401k, you can likely retire earlier. To expound on this, that's why people like "Total Market" indexes so much. You get the S&P 500 plus some mid-cap and...

    I actually don't think I was either. I'm probably thinking The Long Dark. Either way, it's EA and lots of the reviews are negative about how it needs more development.

    Not sure this is the right place for this question, but anyone got a suggestion for a casual survival/crafting type game; solo probably would be best, but casual multiplayer might be okay too.

    Possibly they got bought out by someone else? There was also some crazy post on Reddit about how all the players left for another, Euro-based, team, and Sunsfan just said fuck this, I'm out; giving up his stake in the team (or being bought out by the co-owner?).

    The "war breaks out" scenario means you've got way more to worry about than your investments. If we get to the point where you can't access your investment accounts, it means the economy is gone and I hope you invested in guns and ammo.
