So I completely skipped the 2000 series cards. I didn't see enough of a performance increase to warrant the upgrade. Sure, it had ray tracing, but my 1080 has been doing plenty good enough and those d*mn bit coin farmers have been running the price up way too high for me to justify the...

But they said they went to MMO P2W counseling and learned to control themselves better. They said they loved us and want to make it work. They promised they would change and this time would be better... Honestly though, that's kind of how I feel about XL games and Archeage. I have played...

There is another crisis that is developing, but nobody is talking about. It is a crisis that has formed as a direct result of this pandemic and it has me seriously worried. That concern, is for the fate of the high five. I know. It's been unpopular for a while now, even before this whole...

I can't believe it's been that long. So thanks for 4 years of nerding out about spaceships, trash talking, theory crafting, and shit posting. It's been more than that though. I have also enjoyed 4 years of surprisingly logical conversations, thought provoking posts, honest opinions, well...

That's just ridiculous. I grew up on pixelated masterpieces. Hell, I just dusted off my old EQ account and have been rolling around in nostalgia. Graphics are such a small part of makes a great game what it is, that imo, criticizing a game based on those lofty 4k requirements is just...

I read that the PC port is poorly optimized and super buggy. So I was waiting for it all to get fixed up. Is it all better now?

This one's been weird for me. One of the buildings my company owns is right next to the drive through testing facility that a local hospital has been running since this whole thing started. Since a few weeks after the beginning, the line for testing has been down the street, around the block...

I'm all for that. For me, my preference at home is a Baby Desert Eagle II steel frame .45. I love how it shoots. Between the weight and the low barrel, it kicks less than many 9mms I have shot. When it comes to around the house, I will always prefer a pistol. I don't live in a mansion, so...

Unfortunately, this one's not a yes or no answer either. Our education system isn't uniform across the nation. It differs wildly from state to state, from school to school, even from teacher to teacher inside a school. So the answer isn't a solid yes or no, but mostly. Everyone is taught...

I don't think it's quite that black and white for the average owner. On an overall scale, yes. It's part of the checks and balances built into the system. I don't think it's much "preparing for shit to go down" though. It's more "we're keeping an eye on you" for most people. In alot of ways...

I think that's why I am so thorough about the measures I have in place to protect my home and, more importantly, my wife and daughter. I use to be blissfully unaware of these things. I specifically remember thinking how unrealistic the safety precautions were around Anthony Hopkins in silence...

When I was a prison guard, one of the more excitable guards emptied a canister through the cuff port of a cell in the PC wing (think solitary confinement). ...the whole canister. ...and it was one of the big ones (think small fire extinguisher). Needless to say, the inmate decided to comply...

I had a version of that in mind. I wanted to take one of these: and modify it to deploy this: then wire it to my security system so it fogs my house with OC spray if the alarm goes off. Unfortunately, my wife veto'd it... She also veto'd setting up a tiny garage door for a deployable...

I was going to walk away from this whole discussion, but... You got that backwards. Our country was founded on the principle that you don't have to earn, deserve, or be given the rights that we enjoy as a country. In fact, I hesitate to call them rights for fear of misunderstanding. This...

You are absolutely correct. However, I figured my post was long enough without getting too lost in the statistics. There are other very important factors like location, the fact that the numbers came from a 1985 report, and many others that make the percentage fluctuate wildly. That is a very...

I have also had this question pop up many, many times. It is usually one of the first questions that pop up when people find out I carry a concealed weapon. My answer though, usually comes in the form of a larger discussion. The results of which lead me to a different conclusion and...

First off, I want to say thanks to everyone that's been posting up the TLDR highlights. Trying to keep up with the news can be exhausting when the trend is to hide 5 seconds of info in 15 minutes of text or video. Just wanted to say I appreciate it. For my $0.02, I ran into a potential future...

There are tons of videos and quite a lot of literature on the best way to sharpen knives. Most will give you super complicated instructions and precise measurements. There are also tons of gadgets that cost tons of money. They all claim to give you this magical ability to sharpen a knife to...

But I wouldn't trade it. It's been a glorious three years of intelligent and less than intelligent conversations. I have seen some truly life changing advice passed around and enough shitposts to blot out the sun. So here's to you ladies and gents. Here to you and the best damn gaming...

Honestly, this should be a wake up call for the entire industry. The current games are so bad that people are willingly jumping into a restarted old game just to find some entertainment. It's sad really. That said, there are a few on the near horizon that show some promise. Pantheon, A:IR...
