    Normally I'd agree with this sentiment, but given that it will lower the drop pool for the weapons to farm for, it sounds alright. The issue I see is that the last weapon releases what, two weeks before TFS releases? And with some of the "limited edition" drops for these weapons, that seems a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It's $2200 for the annual preventative tests and quarterly check-ups, plus the ability to reach him virtually 24/7. If I call for an appointment by the morning, I'll assuredly hear from him (or see him in person, at my apartment if necessary) that day. If not, the next morning. I've had...

    As someone who just recently started seeing a concierge doctor -- I believe I'm paying ~$2,200 out of pocket per year to be one of his clients that insurance doesn't cover. It was worth it for the preventative tests alone, honestly. Basically a full panel of everything from grip strength, lung...

    Eh, the Last Wish weapons are worth farming. That and Kalli as an encounter is braindead simple. The fusion / rocket launcher are both great.

    Eh, to see if I could, mostly. I really only play with the girlfriend consistently so the less I need to rely on the populace at large, the better.

    Deep Dives are fine if it's T5+. T7 is good for exotics as well. Finished solo'ing the PsiOps GM this morning. Fucking hell, that was brutal. Wish-Ender and abusing LoS: The Experience. Here's to hoping they don't make the Cosmodrome PsiOps variant a GM.

    What can I do in Texas or nearby?

    Wine country in Fredricksburg -- see if any of the vineyards allow your daughter to drink if you hand her the beverage? It's a case-by-case basis by proprietor, generally speaking. Houston specifically: downtown tunnels? Not sure what it's like post-COVID but it was basically a city in...

    Allergist asked me to fill some stool samples for a series of ongoing tests they're performing. No big deal right? I remember them including rather accommodating containers for you to drop the kids off at the pool with. 20 years ago. They gave me 5 fucking tiny vials with literal sporks...

    You might try Liar's Handshake instead of Assassin's Cowl -- managed to flawless it in just over 2 hours last night, including a 20 minute break. The added DPS on Ecthar is particularly nice.

    There's a well-known glitch that literally provides god-mode invincibility in this week's campaign mission. Run it on master with the rest of us and solve your Ascendant Alloy inventory problem.

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

    Sup Szeth. Have you checked Micro Center? There are a few builds that stand out below $2k in your price / spec range, including a refurb with a 3080 TI for $1,800. My girlfriend's is refurbished and it hasn't experienced any issues as of yet. If I had to buy a pre-built PC, that's the place I'd...

    What tickles your pickle

    Falling the fuck asleep ALL GODDAMN DAY Sunday unexpectedly. My girlfriend assumed not only what I was doing but proactively supported it, because we work in similar industries for a change. Woke up to a text about playing some Destiny 2 and/or getting some boba when I was up for it.

    Was just served -- apparently some fucking guy here in Texas (two guesses what kind of person it is) wants to sue me for $250K over a minor fender bender that took place just under two years ago. Coincidentally that is also the statute of limitations for personal injury resulting from an accident.

    Went out to lunch with my father to a place that just opened up called "Knockouts", which is essentially a tamer version of Hooters I guess? Our waitress introduced herself as Miley, but when I got the check, I guess we had actually been served by Chun-Li's sister, even though she was clearly...

    Without going into the details for obvious reasons -- jury duty. Just the selection process -- big case -- but, with COVID restrictions so we arrived at the NRG arena here in Houston. Seating in the rafters with one row in front and wouldn't you guess it, this fucking guy right in the middle in...

    Adding to this: repetitive "Please continue to hold" messages, especially those that are programmed to go off like once a minute. Drives me insane after hearing it a dozen or more times.

    I literally have to keep a running list of what size I wear across all the stores I shop at because of this shit. We need an international, standard sizing system. Definitely not Imperial units. Yes, I know people will complain, but if a few beaches whales or insecure assholes literally jump...

    Second COVID vaccine side effects -- apparently ticking off just about every box to watch out for. Been feeling like hammered shit for two days now, broke 103 yesterday afternoon but seems to be easing off finally.

    Have power but no running water for the second day. Work is being cool about people not coming in for the time being, but they're fucking nuts if they expect me to come in before I've had a proper shower.

    I've met one woman, an ex in College, who could drive better than I could. But damn, the difference between her and her girlfriends was staggering. Like if a guy is a decent driver -- okay, neat. But in this case people were (rightfully) amazed. She drove a manual Nissan 240SX and I was privy...

    Houston, moving there.

    Yeah, good luck with the "No HOA" rule. Your commute is going to be pornstar levels of suck if that's a non-negotiable for you. The only exception I can think of would be townhouses where there's not a whole lot for a HOA to get on your case about to begin with?

    Finding yourself in the brief window each year where heating your place is making it too hot, yet cooling it makes it too cold. Like apartment porridge.

    I was cleaning up my apartment and came across the roster for one of my girlfriend's classes -- she teaches in a low income district and one of her kids is named.... Akileez. Ironically enough there's a kid named Hector in there as well.

    Girlfriend bit her lip and I'm pretty sure her inner lip is now infected -- imagine a regular lip bite but extend it out like two inches to either side for a massive four inch welt like someone punched the spot she bit, swelling and all. Trying to get her to see a doctor through virtual means...

    Last week, while visiting Gatlinburg with the girlfriend, I walked into the liquor store expecting to find Jack Daniels cheaper than what I pay for it here in Houston. Despite being produced in the same state, it cost twice as fucking much as it does here due to some ridiculous "Luxury Resort...

    So my cousin is heavily pregnant, and is due anytime in the next few weeks. Apparently the daughter of one of her "friends" tested postive for 'Rona not too long ago...didn't tell anyone, and then came into work (where she works under said cousin). Thus they've had to close the place down for...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I'm with you -- I think a Deathwatch setting would lend itself well to diverse groups of individuals, e.g. Vermintide. But it would need all the bells and whistles, with legitimate 40k HUD (Augur scans, flexible HUD elements) and stay true to their stealth / covert means of going about their...
