Subbed to this a few weeks ago for the first time since 2 months after ARR hit (enjoyed it then, just burned out on Fate grinding in the upper 40s). Game was fairly good/enjoyable, storyline got a bit boring in 2.1 and 2.2, then man... shit just took off in 2nd half of 2.3 and beyond. 2.4, 2.5...

And also use that information to buy up cards that will spike once the announcement is made public. People on reddit are claiming their SCG went around buying up a ton of duals at higher than normal prices over the past week.

Their FAQ still says 5 months to receive payment in cash. Ugh. Their buylist prices are pretty good tho... hrmm.

This sums up my thoughts completely. People with intelligence, motivation, and ability to relate to people are going to start their own thing or find someone that compensates them appropriately for that rare skillset. I wonder if estimators would stick around if they had the ability to buy into...

Hitting up Kickstarter seems like a no brainer. Put yourself in the shoes of HBS leadership: you get to significantly offset upfront development costs, you get advance hype/marketing/interest/identify people who want updates, and you also get a gut check as far as how "big" it will be. If they...

All my experiences involving acquisitions, incentives were came out of the gate almost simultaneously with the announcement of the acquisition. The deal had to get voted on by owners, the purchaser had to identify key people would stay, etc so if you haven't heard anything within a few days...

I wouldn't go to a small business retail spot after 6 PM because I would just assume that they were closed. At least where I live in Seattle, it seems like all the small stores close at 6 so I wouldn't both to keep track and realize that the fish store was different. 12-5 on a Sunday seems...

Acorns is good for people who are not investing. People who are already investing can just skip acorns and increase their contributions slightly and avoid paying the pretty absurdly high fee.

Lots of posts on here I would just ignore. Basically anyone suggesting a strategy that they think is "good" should probably be ignored. I think you should probably read this:Managing a windfall - Bogleheads Your gut instinct with going with Vanguard is a good one. Keep the money fairly...

Dumping it in Vanguard or Betterment is fine. I would be super hesitant about going to Schwaab and telling them you have 400k or whatever. Anyone that suggests managed funds or funds with ER above 50 basis points should probably be ignored immediately. If you go with the Vanguard route, you...

Am mildly considering getting back into this, albeit with the ps4 version instead of PC because playing on a big TV sounds fun. Is it pretty playable on console, as a healer especially? Wouldn't want to be the baddie in the group that makes everyone fail.

Heh, kind of amusing (if predictable) flip in the general view of this game from a year ago when I played Wildstar at Pax Prime and hated it.

Curious to see what reviews are like over the next few weeks. This might be the game that finally convinces me to buy a PS4.

Witcher 3 was (by far) the game that impressed me most at Pax. It looks bloody awesome, and was the only AAA game that I was really excited about after the convention was over (I was also mildly excited about Dragon Age 3). Looks fucking awesome and motivated me to boot up Witcher 2 and actually...

I enjoyed this somewhat at Pax. I'd probably buy it on a steam sale for $10 and have some fun with it, but $40 for full price on steam seems a bit silly high for a game that looks pretty but doesn't have a lot to it.

If you are interested in waterdeep, I'd suggest looking at Castles of Burgundy instead. It has a lot of the same mechanics but without the annoying as fuck "mandatory quest" nonsense. I despise waterdeep but love burgundy, and it is the fiancee's favorite game BY FAR. Also plays well with 2...

Servers are up. The tournament that starts in an hour is already full (not surprising). AH prices seem absurd right now, but that should stabilize with time.

The card seems pretty interesting. More limited than constructed, but a pretty interesting card regardless. Smart to have gaming celebrities designing cards though, free advertising AND an infusion of ideas from people who might have a different perspective than your usual wotc designer.

Gone now. Phooey :P

I wasn't a huge fan. The movie was enjoyable, but nothing like the first.

For card games, I'd argue that poker and bridge both have far better real life competitive play scenes. Bridge is mostly populated by old people, but the high level competitions are way better handled than GPs and Pro Tours and despite cashing at GP Minneapolis I had more fun at most major...

To a degree this is a true, but disregarding all the discontent Amazon devs doesn't seem appropriate either. My old CEO used to mention that his favorite recruiting spot was hanging out near Amazon because everyone was so desperate for a lifeline out. I've known 20+ people that work or have...

It is only a tie if both games score the same # of agendas...

Meh, Amazon offers to fly everyone out. I strongly suggest working at Google before Amazon. I think there is a general continuum: Low experience: Where you went to school matters, because there isn't much else to judge on. Did you do an internship? Do you have code people can actually look...

Eh? PS3/Dust was a recent topic of discussion and the reference to Dust here was pretty obvious.

Blah. Dust sucked. CCP makes terrible FPS games from their terrible FPS studio. So the answer is: Let's make a new FPS game? I'm not sure if it is possible to be less excited. I'm not even into Vampire, and that MMO sounded 100x as interesting as Legion.

$300?

I received my pro player codes, but haven't used them yet. Are people buying Hex accounts? I might be willing to sell given how little video game time I have these days... but no clue about demand.

It's been a pretty solid spate of bad news lately. US government classified it as property which makes it a massive pain for websites to take bitcoin in payment if they are legit, and the Chinese government has been coming down hard as well. As to whether this is a large bump in the road or...

Glad you got some good responses. I'm coming to this late, but thought I'd throw my own 2 cents out there: Having personally had to work with someone who came out of one of these "boot camps" it will be hard for me to give them much credence in the future. Anyone can attend a boot camp and...

That sounds like modern portfolio theory, which most people who invest in indexes are using as well. Basically, you spread out into different asset types with your indexes and then rebalance occasionally. The rebalancing brings stuff back into correct portions, and creates a natural sell high...

1095 and 1195 feel the same to me, and 1195 feels a bit "rounder" and less jarring than 1095. Jumping right to 1195 seems reasonable. Note: I have no facts or expertise justifying my opinion.

Hrmm, lots of people talking about keto in the last few pages. I've been eating fairly paleo, which seems to have some similar concepts. We eat a lot of meat and veg and have mostly cut out bread/wheat/pasta. We end up cooking a lot more, but have been feeling ridiculously healthy as a result...

Minor or double major is useless. No one gives a shit if you have a minor in some other field, all they care about is how smart you are, how motivated you seem to be, and if you did an internship instead of flipping burgers. Far better to work on an open source project. I have never ever been...

Also: was pretty sweet to see all card kingdom players in the top 4, especially given how many people flew or drove in to play from long distances. Only talked about where we were from a few times but I played against people from Idaho and LA who made the trip just for the tourney.

What about: Barely Boros Burn - MTG MTGO Decks and Archetypes | mtgGoldfish Skip the mutavaults (they are going to tank in value on rotation anyway) and hold off on the reckoners and it isn't too bad. Not the most interactive deck, but it can rack up a lot of easy wins.

Here are some general thoughts, about 4 years in: Comp Sci is a solid degree regardless. There are a variety of jobs (IT as you mention) even if programming doesn't work out. For programming specifically, it depends on if you are a more logical person than average. If so, then it can work out...

Slaughter games is a decent sideboard card. I apparently am just doomed to never play well at SCG Opens. This is the 3rd one in a row I've scrubbed out and not even made top 16. I lost more times yesterday (4!!!) than I'd lost in the past 28 matches (3-0-1, 2-0-1, 10-1-1, 7-2) I'd played...

return is solid. I think I'd want 3 in the 75, but having some or all of them side seems like a meta call. As for most under appreciated, my vote for that would be fleecemane. Won more games off the back of monstrous fleecemane than any other card.

Yeah, I've seen a decent amount of that already happening. I have 2-3 of all the duals already, but am nervous about stockpiling tons because it feels more risky (imo) than many people credit. Duals were not expensive before SCG started the legacy opens, and if they replace the legacy opens with...
