    I don't know what the other services are like, but I work closely with active duty Navy, and a huge majority of them are shaped like Eric Cartman, and will absolutely wait 5 minutes for an elevator in a 2 story building. Then after 4 years of low effort 'service' they are all somehow 100%...

    I hate dumb, entitled people so much. I felt dumb after installing my new dishwasher though, but not for the blue thing. I don't normally read the manual, but I should've. I installed it, and it wouldn't drain. For some dumb reason, you have to poke out a hidden plastic seal inside the...

    It's 2026, if every attention whore is going to put in fake boobs, how are they not better yet? They should look more like heavy hangers, and not a tiny coconut on a piece of plywood. I feel like they're focusing on the wrong technology Also fake and MILFy but better at tricking my stupid male...

    In the 90s, I just joined the military and was a pretty straight laced and boring non-drinking guy on the West Coast. But I was friends with the local skateboarders, most of them were older than me and poorer (E-4 pay isn't terrible for a 21 year old who never goes out drinking). They told me...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    The only good thing on the IGN youtube channel is the Devs React to ____ speedruns. Usually a lot of fun to watch gamers dismantle the game in front of the developers. Most of them are good sports.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Went to pick up the kiddos from relatives a few states away and go to a New Years party. 300 miles from home, after supercharging, every alarm known to man shows up on my nav screen. Voltage, air suspension, basically the main battery shit the bed and left me stranded, with a car that wasn't...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I bought a pre-built with a 5090 before all the RAM shakedown. Works as intended, though I did have to troubleshoot why it would just shut down under heavy GPU loads. Turned out to be a fan power cable was pinned under the motherboard power connector, making it just loose enough and killing...

    Pluribus

    I binged it the last 2 days, it's....ok. I loved the visuals as the dude drove up to meet Karen(tm). There was a lot of dead space in too many episodes, on top of showing too much of a task being done; it didn't need to be dragged out like that with the limited episode count. I was pretty...

    I miss the wife, but I don't miss the 30 different subscriptions she had ticking away , DPSing my CC to death. DirectTV(ouch), SiriusXM just for the 80s, Hulu, Amazon Prime, some weird Samsung Food calendar thing($100 annually), Factor foods, and a few others I can't recall. Now it's just...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It was a police scanner. In some states, it would detect if the police shoulder mount repeater was close enough and warn you. Back when I first got it, it would pick up early cell phone conversations before those were digitized lol.

    What are you playing?

    Harry Potter was free, so I played through it. It looked really amazing on the 5090, and I enjoyed it for what it was (though a touch too easy). Some of the characters, villains and people written in just for conversational conflict were WAY too one dimensional (ie Anne's uncle). Good story...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I know not many played the EQ2 TLEs, but with a good guild the raids were fun. AAs were dumb, as you could get max AA's in like 2 hours. My biggest disappointment there was completing the conjy epic, and having the epic weapon pull from the wrong Spell_# and never got fixed. Was supposed to...

    It was...ok as long as you were camped in one spot and not moving. They had set zone lines, but the zone lines almost never made geographic sense (compared to the obvious zone lines of EQ in most places)

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I turned on the auto-attack clicky for offensive button timings, and to be honest if there was one for defensive parries I would've used that too. By the middle of Act 2 I was over having to learn new parry timings every few minutes, especially when most of them are feints. Blech

    This is probably accurate. Clamoring for a small amount like that I mean. Look up the Redux retirement in the 80s, members got a 30k(pre tax lol) bonus for giving up hundreds of thousands of $$$ of their pension and cost of living increases. I couldn't believe that they got people to sign...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    That's how I felt at the beginning of Act 3. I loved the art, the story, did all the optional stuff until the end of Act 2, but was just so tired of having to learn new parry timings over and over and over. Blech. Ended up just going straight to the ending as soon as Act 3 opened up.

    I want to say this is a great way to grieve, it's what your loved one would want. My wife passed after rolling through a Stop sign and getting T-boned a year and a half ago. When people get all solemn and serious, I tell them I think she did it on purpose. "What, was she...

    Playstation 5

    I really loved that game. I got pretty good at it (for me), and though I didn't do another full playthrough, I realized it trained me up pretty well when I did NG+ and didn't get touched until after the 2nd boss. It's rare for me to play one game that thoroughly that I improve that much. I...

    Jeebus yes, I made this mistake when interested in Solar for the house. I was punished for a full YEAR. It all felt so scammy and high pressure, I just said no to everybody. Plus VA is getting too taxxy, expensive, and the drivers crash daily while driving in a straight line (especially if...
