    Fuckin playerbase underwent the culling it seems.
  2. NVIDIA just released the specs of the GTX 1180... holy shit.

      Expresate

      Even when/if the 1180 comes out, I expect it'll cost 10 times more than it normally would.

       

      The card I bought three years ago currently sells for more than when I bought it.

      But can it run Crysis?

      Honestly I expect it'll cost maybe 100 dollars more than the 1180's launch price. GPU prices have really come down lately, and rumors are NVIDIA's sitting on a shitload of cards it made for the mining craze but can''t sell.

       

      And it will probably run Crysis at 720p at least.

    "The quality I find most attractive in a person is..."

    Loyalty. Without that it's pointless.

  8. If you ever listen to anything I say let it be this: do it. You need to take any advantage you can get in this doggy dog world.
  9. Well I bludgeoned him to a conclusive death with a shovel after so he didn't. Also - it's better to just stomp them. Shovel is not efficient at all especially when it's midnight and you gotta get the maglite shining just right. I must've looked fucking insane when that car drove by.
  10. Speaking from personal experience a .177 pellet pistol point blank to the head won't even kill a rat, so I doubt it will kill a cat.

    If I recall correctly, Kinzie was a dev's personal waifu he shoved in and that's why she's so weird.
  13. Sometimes I wonder if the sounds I hear are gunshots or transformers exploding. Either way it's a reason to move.

     

    Of course there's always the third option - people shooting open the transformers for mineral oil.

      What if it's Michael Bay shooting the new Transformers?

      Here? Well he'd a save a little on making the set look like a warzone at least.

    I remember being confused because I had just recognized MNC as existing when SMNC came out and I remember thinking "Ain't that a bit fast?" I think Hi-Rez is the master of that. My friend describes them as the "me too" company. MOBAs are popular? Me too! Overwatch is popular? Me too! Card games are popular? Me too! Battle Royale is popular? Me too! There was also the GTA clone phase from the early 2000s, I remember Jak II coming out and people disliking it because it was open world + a lot edgier. I didn't get the fuss back then (but then again I was 7) although today I still think it's a good game. Also can't forget the survival phase that came around a couple years ago. I wonder what'll be after Battle Royale - Napoleonic FPS? Battlefield went way back to the first world war recently, maybe Call of Duty will take it as a challenge to go even further back, and introduce Call of Duty: Whiff of Grapeshot.
  15. Nah, any person/organization smart enough to kill enough people to warrant a dedicated disposal site wouldn't put it in a storage unit. Very likely it's just Bubba's drug lab... or maybe just a lot of improperly stored chemicals.
  16. Saw the House of Hohenzollern crest and my mind immediately connected it to the Flatwoods monster - really wish I understood why.

    I've never had anyone try to scam me (other than of course those shitty bots that anyone can see coming a mile away) because I'm too poor and too paranoid. I miss the first days of trading when prices were in flux and finding the right person could net you a lot of cool shit. I think I've mentioned before that I got a Bill's hat for a sandvich, and there was one guy who would open my crates up for me - I got so much paint from that. Once he even got an unusual from it, Purple Fetti Ze Goggles (yes they were "shit" but back then it didn't really matter, unusuals were fucking rare - people would stare in spawn if you had one). He let me borrow it for a day then asked if he could have it, and I of course agreed. Eventually we stopped talking and I found out he got banned from one of our mutual servers for hacking (although he doesn't have a VAC, weird) - in the appeal thread he said his brother did it which I usually wouldn't believe but he was truly a great guy. He ain't been online in over 2,700 days. Hope he's doing well. Hard to believe that was almost 8 years ago.
  18. I think this house I walk by just about every day is a drug lab. Its windows are always covered by some foil-like material and yesterday I saw an SUV loaded with gallons upon gallons of chemicals marked "corrosive" sitting outside, and it looked like there was a guy set up watching it from a distance. It's only a block or so away from the elementary school so if and when it goes those kids will have one hell of a story to tell.
  19. Why not "You've beaten the main quest, now enjoy freeroam"?
  20. Impeached? Over this? They'll give him the best coverage he's ever got. The Washington consensus is that it's fine to bomb sovereign countries for flimsy reasons, as long as it's trannies doing the bombing.

    Then in that case I don't understand how your profile being public by default isn't personal but your game stats are, not to mention you can't hide your friend's list, or your badges. Surely that's personal data too? And none of that excuses them leaving us in the dark about it, I only realized the changes when I heard someone on Steam complain about it in a group I'm in.
