    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    I don't even download these movies anymore. They're all slop. My time is still worth more than what I'm willing to give up for this crap.

    You just said you can't fix it, but then "let's not pass the mess to our children." What the fuck do you even mean? There's no choice but to fuck the next generations, since if we're not actually going to lower the deficit (which means not even attempting to lower the debt), it means as you...

    The Terminal List: Dark Wolf

    I mean, I enjoyed the shit out of the first season, so I'll give it a shot for sure.

    Pretty much. But Trump likes to spend money while crying about the deficit (kind of like a politician now). When we can't even get Trump to cut spending and this is now his 3rd or 4th spending bill in the multi-trillions, I'd say it's a lost cause. Just hope we die before the entire system...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Most of those points seem to prohibit an individual from connecting to the server using an EQ client, but the server itself is using the emulated version which, as someone stated, is 20 years in the making and at this point entirely separate.

    And if it doesn't dip? And you sat out while the market runs up? You're just talking about market timing and trying to fancy it up with "buy the dip." I'm telling you time in the market beats timing the market.

    The Prepper Thread

    What's crazy to me is that the people who grocery shop daily are still in a much better position than the people that, apparently, go to restaurants for every single meal they eat.

    What I always tell people is... It doesn't matter. Let's say you're buying something at $100 a share right now, and you're waiting for a "buy the dip" moment when it drops to $90. Let's also say you're around 20 years from retirement, and the market doubles every 7 years. By the time you...

    Yeah, making thousands of dollars every day passively is so boring. So much more fun when you lose tens of thousands.

    Candle Box - Far Behind - How Does a One Hit Wonder Become So Good

    I listened to those Orbit Culture songs posted above. I think I've really narrowed down why they sound so shit, and it's 100% the vocalist. At first I wanted to blame the entire band and say that it was just guitar distortion and blast beats, but it's really the vocals. There's absolutely no...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    What server is everyone playing on? I haven't played this one in like a year. Since it's apparently carrying characters over, I figured I might play for the next day or so.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    My question is, does something unlock later in the game that ever negates it? You shouldn't be out there slaying dragons but also so feeble that you can't see 2 feet in front of you in the dark. Where's the power fantasy in that?

    Dune Awakening

    Worms are only around in the open desert portions (basically the sandy portions). But yeah, that shit 100% draws worms. Especially in deep desert, you've got to turn your shield off and not use your flying belt things or worms will be on your ass fast.

    Dune Awakening

    Think I might be about done, at 113 hours. Playing as a solo it's just become way too grindy. At this point, I'm working on the advanced stations and in order to make them, it's spending a ton of time gathering corpses, making more aluminum/duraluminum so I can add more power, make a full load...

    Hacks

    We've been really slow in watching this season because it's been...not great. I decided after the 5th episode that I'd give it one more episode to be funny. Well, I'm writing this mid-episode. I don't know what the fuck happened, but it appears the writers on this show forgot it was a fucking...
