    Looks like Card just pulled a groin muscle. Texas better hope not.

    College Football 2022-23 Season.

    Damn, Texas may actually be back. Until they are at the 2 yard line with Bijan Robinson, 8 seconds left, and 2 timeouts and call up a slow developing pass play to roll out their backup QB. Keep Texasing, Texas.

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    This is moronic. Video games, in particular, are interactive and some of them take skill and practice to beat. Those are obviously things you can take pride in and form a community over.

    Sure, sure. Now point out the successful woke sequels that prove these untapped demos buy the games.

    Songs of Conquest

    I stopped playing specifically because of the enemies appearing behind my front lines after I had moved far past them. I was pissed but kept going after the first time it happened, but then they pulled it multiple times in a single campaign map and I fucked off. It is a stupid fucking mechanic...

    Just beware of how it interacts with your card. I have an EVGA card and Afterburner by itself would not engage all 3 fans. I had to use EVGA's tool first to ensure the fans were engaged, then switch to Afterburner to set the voltage and fan curve.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Put the report on a 30 day PIP, document every occurrence of handholding and laziness, then fire after 30 days citing all the documented occurrences and the fact that this person surely won't meet the PIP requirements.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    It is an entire article bemoaning the skin color of the executives that were unable to compete successfully in the streaming business for whatever reason instead of addressing the reality that people who are shit at their jobs get fucking fired. Diversity for diversity's sake is the foundation...

    That mostly applies to highschools here, and those are all highly rated in the suburbs that I look in.

    Home buying thread

    I look for smaller sq ft single family homes in places that are nice and crime-free, but not in really nice areas. The rents are comparable but the house prices are much better. Also, the number of potential renters in the areas that surround the nicest ones is much higher since they want to...

    Amazon buying Electronic Arts

    Jesus fucking Christ. It is about weakening the federal government by vastly reducing its size and scope down to the original intentions of the founders so that it can be hyper focused on doing the few things it is specifically empowered to do, like motherfucking trust busting. When they only...

    I mean, godamn if this isn't the most GGG thing ever. I come in here to compliment them on finally making uniques meaningful and possibly build defining, only to later see that they never fucking drop and it costs a fortune to get even decent rolls. I can't understand why they continuously...

    Hellraiser

    They really are reaching at this point. The first 3 Hellraisers are amazing, and the next 100 cover about anything you could possibly hope to see in the universe. What on Earth makes execs think there is a need, or that there is even any room, for a reboot?

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I picked up a used 10GB 3080 for $550 a few weeks ago. Deals are out there to be had. They might go lower in a few months, but I'm not convinced that is 100% so I jumped on it. I was able to unload my 20 month old 3060TI for $400 as well, so I consider the whole thing a giant win.

    Good thing he didn't believe his own point enough to stop that abomination of a bill, right? Right? I'm just waiting for Bronco stock to catch up to demand so that they are stupidly expensive.

    I've found that I greatly prefer grass fed/finished ground beef, but any whole meat cuts I greatly prefer grain finished for the quality and taste of the fat.

    Path of Exile

    I have given this game quite a bit of shit over the last few years for the stupid shit they've done, so I have to give them props when they do something overwhelmingly good. The unique updates that I've seen so far look excellent. It looks like they've finely decided to make them a whole lot...

    You are a giant illiterate moron. The post immediately preceding the one you quoted specified that for the last several months I have averaged a 40 minute lifting session every 3 days. Before that, nothing because I was too busy. I fucking love playing basketball but life has stopped me from...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I'm a giant fan of exercise. I love lifting and playing sports. You're right, there is a positive caloric effect for exercise but it is a miniscule factor compared to diet. The human body is a stupid efficient machine when it comes to burning calories for activity and that means that the vast...

    The type and quality of food you eat matters. I guarantee that if you did eat as much as you want with just meat and eggs you would see a massive difference.

    You are a certified retard if you read my last three posts and decided "He thinks CICO is wrong". I have stuffed myself with as much meat, eggs, and dairy as I can eat nearly every day for more than a year now without gaining a single pound all while averaging a single 40 minute weight training...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Lately, the most successful diet experiences I've had are when I spend the entire week eating nothing but meat, eggs, full-fat dairy, and fruit. No counting of any kind. Just eat as much as I want of all of those things, a few days including eating a full third of a watermelon after shoveling...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Why do you have a hard time believing it? What essential things do carbs provide that can't be obtained from less carb-heavy resources? I probably agree that zero to very low carb is probably not optimal long term, but it is certainly super-effective short term and, while sub-optimal, appears...

    Please stop listening to the "LoL, it's just calories in vs calories out' people. It is a tautological argument. Of course it is about calories in versus calories out because it has to be, that is the mechanism of weight loss. That is like saying the amount of water in a sink is all about how...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    If you are undervolting an EVGA card and have worse temps then you anticipated, make sure all of your fans are spinning. Just using Afterburner only 2 of my 3 fans were spinning so I had to install EVGA's PrecisionX1, ensure all 3 fans were spinning, then return to Afterburner and set my fan...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    As much as I hate to admit it, the no ads triple pack for $20 a month is pretty solid. I already pay for no ad Hulu at $13 and D+ under the 3 year deal was $3, so only paying $4 more even after the pumped the prices and getting ESPN+ along with it is not bad.

    The Boys

    Homelander is a god among the supes, though. The comic was still plenty compelling when the boys could stand toe to toe with medium strength supes while still having to connive around the most powerful ones.

    The Boys

    Okay, after this season it has to be said. While the idea of having all the boys remain normies is interesting in theory, the show suffers greatly when they aren't all supes and season 3 proved that beyond a doubt. The best parts of the season were Butcher and Hughie going toe to toe with...

    Pirating is about the goddamn principle of it all now. Everyone won with OG Netflix. The subscribers got tons of content, the content owners got a nice cut, and the middleman did an actual service for both and deserved its cut. But everyone got greedy and thought they could out-Netflix the...

    This is nearly exactly what I said, while Misty is saying that the 4070 will beat the 3090TI. I'd love to be wrong and and for the 4070 to mop up everything that currently exists on a 350W power draw, but that seems so ludicrous given the power draw of the current gen and the rumors that power...

    I have a 15 year old Swissgear laptop backpack that is heavy duty with steel reinforced handles. Got my company to buy it for work travel and it was a $90 bag back then. $250 seems... excessive. ***EDIT*** This appears to be the one I have, most likely slightly updated from 2007...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    What Pyros said above, but I'd like to add that Dark Souls 1 is basically a master class in world/level design. You don't get fast travel until more than halfway through the game, but every single place you go is connected to other parts of the world which makes traversing it much faster than...
