    Rick and Morty

    We get our best episode of the season, possibly of the last 2 seasons, and no one says anything? I actually sighed and thought about how I was going to come and post how much this week's episode sucked BEFORE I watched it. Then it turned out to be good. It takes so little for these...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The biggest thing I need to remind people is how hard it was to actually buy and sell bitcoin more than 5 years ago. If you didnt know ehat you were doing it was super easy to get scammed or just lose track of it completely.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I think it is one of my favorite CRPG's because of how faithful it is to the in-universe lore. There is just so much to like about WH40k and this game goes hard into all of it. Like when the killer of the former Rogue Trader was revealed it was only surprising until you though about it for...

    I truly hope each of these games with cosmetics just containerizes their character selection screen as some sort of wardrobe program and gives it out as a way to "keep" those digital assets. Enjoy looking at your stuff once every few years.

    Quite the opposite. Every purchase I have made to GGG for cosmetics has been me deciding to give them money for continuing to make a great game and not shoving monetization in my face. GGG also has a track record of *not* screwing over their customers. If PoE1 went offline forever then I would...

    You said above that my arguments were fucking retarded because in the this single specific format, Personal Computers, the game is not a physical thing that you own anymore. I think it highlights just how unreasonable the request is simply because the only change is that we accidentally...

    If a game has been out for 10 years and the company decides to end support for it, why do we get to demand that it persists forever? Did anyone demand that Mattel had to release the IP for the Intellivison and all of the games to the public once the console stopped production and support ended...

    I know it has gone on way longer than that, I was just going with a timeframe that I was positive they had no leg to stand on. I also practice what I preach. I cannot name the last EA game I purchased because I hate them as a company.

    I understand and agree with you that EA is a shitty company and those tactics are just to get more money out of the consumer. HOWEVER They have done this for more than a decade now and everyone knows this when they buy one of EA's shitty products. It isn't like they added all of these...

    I am right there with you; I absolutely despise "games as a service" and don't play any of them because it is there to monetize your time instead of being a good game. The difference between me and you pouty bitches is that I go into a purchase with my eyes wide open and don't expect any entity...

    Why are people so fucking retarded? When I buy a car do I get some fucking guarantee that it is going to stay on forever? When I bought CD's was I given a guarantee that the industry would make sure that there was a way to play CD's in perpetuity? When I bought a goddamn NES game in the 90's...

    Path of Exile

    I often wonder about this particular example, Xev, and what it says about games like POE. There are probably 10x the number of players that are your second example as compared to your first. If POE made itself a little more accessible to the second type of player then would they have an even...

    Debt:GDP has to be lowered as the priority going forward. I understand that they want inflation so that they can inflate the debt away over time, but it doesn't work if they just keep borrowing more money at the newly inflated levels.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is just me, but if your life is good then don't fuck it up by trying to make this complicated. If there is truly no debt, house, money, or kids then give it to are and don't think about it again. Now, if you have rock solid proof that she owes you something then you have to weigh how much...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    I want to stop and make sure that the two of you remind yourselves that this is a life blessing from her father and a gift that is not wasted no matter which way the two of you choose. Do not take this thing that he worked his whole life to enrich his children past when he would see the results...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    I have a different question than anyone else to pose and that is: What will make your life better now AND in the long run? It sounds like the burden of living bi-weekly is hard on you; is it as hard on your wife as well? Posed a different way: if you could guarantee that the 300k invested...

    I don't know what you are talking about, that was just as garbage as the last episode. I am not watching any more; two of the worst 10 episodes in a row means it is truly gone. What a fucking travesty.

    I honestly think my situation was the exact opposite; I didn't have any problem getting back out there because I had not had a real connection with a woman in so long. In fact, my first post-nut clarity thought with someone new after 15 years was "I married someone that I didn't realize was...

    This is just me (but I think @KDow would agree), but I have not gone on a date with a girl just because I think she looks fun. I text/talk with them enough to make sure our personalities align and I could date this person more than a few weeks/months. I honestly think that is one of the...

    After hanging out at a bar for happy hour and staying until 9pm, I had one invite me back to her place. I have no idea how guys like @Nirgon get so down on guys chances with women; the bar most guys set is so fucking low that just acting/treating women decently seems to put you in the top 10%...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Damn, you guys are some salty bitches about SGA and free throws. Always ready to jump on some ESPN narrative to explain why a guy is good. Reggie Miller correctly pointed out that SGA averages less FTAs than he did when he was in the league. Cry more.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    An Oklahoma legend died today. Gary England was the meteorologist responsible for interrupting prime time programming to warn of severe weather activity for my entire life until I moved to Texas; and the week I moved he was the one that reported about the May 19th 2013 tornado that came within...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    OK, hear me out. GameStop realizes that the value of their company is derived from internet meme culture and so they realize that the best way to take advantage is to leverage that fleeting value into a possibly parabolic asset on the books. If they can buy enough and it keeps hitting new...

    App, singular. I am on Bumble and it seems to be working as intended. I decided not to branch out to other ones in case I run out of prospects on this one!

    A little making out at the end of dates with 3 of the 5. It was all demure, none tried to give me a tonsillectomy or anything. Honestly, I am not looking to hop into bed with any of them; I'd hate to have a stage 5 clinger this early on in my newly free life.

    I don't think I'm far enough down the line with any of them for those stories yet, I was just talking about first-date chatter about other bad dates they had been on.

    It's all the same dipshits defending Twitch. I used to love that platform, but they are the authors of their own demise. Every single decision they have made has been the wrong one; both at the time of choosing and its reverberations into the future. Fuck every one of them, they should start...
