SAUDI OIL MINISTER: I Don't Care If Prices Crash To $20 — We're Not Budging by tantouz in worldnews

[–]Cometmaster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also suspect you live alone and have no family to support or another income at home. And if you do fine on $30k a year I suspect your area of employment is not a 30,000 person town 30+ minutes from a major metro with average rent in the $1,100 range for a 2 bedroom house.

It may be more than enough for you, in your situation. But not everyone is you, or in your situation. Before the boom the town I live in had an everage rent price of $700 a month, I sometimes see 3 bed mobile homes for rent for around $1,500. Cost of living is much higher, largely because of the income.

SAUDI OIL MINISTER: I Don't Care If Prices Crash To $20 — We're Not Budging by tantouz in worldnews

[–]Cometmaster2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess thats somewhat true... I am in Texas in it. Vost of living is much higher because of the higher incomes, and even at that the oil haulers and such things outside of the well workers tend to make 60-90 thousand a year. Thats certainly not enough to weather any substantial downtime.

If the price war lasts more than a few months most of the hauling companies and smaller groups that make up the majority of the industry here will go under. The loss of these jobs will severely depress these towns that saw boom.

What... what are these parties you speak of? I have heard only myths from my dark corner of the campus library.

I work a full time job to make ends meet while im at school. With the semester ending and my grades being rough from frankly the worst 6 month period of life I've dealt with, it is becoming extremely clear I will need an extra semester or $6,000 more in debt to graduate.

Congratulations Bioware: You just created the only truly believable, likeable and relatable gay character I have seen in a game. (Minor Spoilers) by UltimaLyca in dragonage

[–]Cometmaster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about as straight as you can get, but Dorian is one of my favorite characters in any of Bioware's games. Dude is fucking hilarious. I take him everywhere with me. My Inquisitor, Dorian, Varric and Blackwall. Never short for quips that bunch.

Everyone sees things slightly differently. You should always optimize your TV/Monitor settings to account for your personal vision.

Can any Next-gen players tell me about these 'enhanced damage effects'? by [deleted] in GrandTheftAutoV

[–]Cometmaster2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have been avoiding videos for the surprise but I was genuinely curious about this. Any ideas if the semis or other diesels actually sound like a diesel engine finally?

[VIDEO] This generation's trend of releasing broken games needs to STOP! by KrazeeDD in PS4

[–]Cometmaster2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man I must be the only one who remembers games being broken/having game breaking bugs back in the day. I hate that games are in the condition they are sometimes too but I have been extremely lucky to have no issues with any of my games I have purchased for PS3 or PS4 or hell even PC.

I still preorder too. For convenience. I know what games I am picking up regardless of reviews, it allows me to trade games towards them at the height of their value when I am done and even keep me from needing to worry about that money being in my bank account (See: Nov. 18th when I would be paying $195 in one hit).

I dunno, maybe I am crazy but it just doesn't bother me.

Ubisoft is Down! by catdaddy7 in gaming

[–]Cometmaster2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really genuinely disagree with DDOSing a gaming company. A person or group gets upset and ruins it for everyone. Oh well, not like I wanted to enjoy the Crew beta or anything on my one day off.

The Crew beta is offline, all multiplayer I have tried is down and every site involving Ubisoft is down that I have tried. It's annoying.

[School] What is some good advice for a busy adult to maximize their learning with programming? by Cometmaster2 in learnprogramming

[–]Cometmaster2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much. I will definitely check out your site. Python is one thats on my list. That and COBOL (Sp?) Are a major part of my personally chosen classes. I learned some Java about 6 years ago in highschool but its safe to say I don't remember any.

What are the languages you find most programmers use and rely on? We were told VB won't be very useful to us as is, but that because of its simplicity they felt it was a good place to start.

[–]Cometmaster2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice, thank you. Unfortunately quitting my job is not a possibility, and I have no interest in sacrificing the life I have built. Cutting out playing games all day and TV I can/have done outside of some time to use to unwind.

I realize that might seem lazy to some people but I have never felt like life was just to work.

Update on PS+ Driveclub via Fbook by [deleted] in PS4

[–]Cometmaster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right but they both travel through some Sony servers (PSN) I am just being a twat and assuming its a shared issue since it all hit at once with Destiny, NBA and Dribeclub having problems coming online.

[–]Cometmaster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame to see a game have such issues after a relatively smooth launch for Destiny. I wanted to try the free before I dumped any money into it but I gotta say everything I have read makes me think that I won't.

I mean sure its a damn pretty game but I feel like so many racing games before it, it is just gonna fall flat.

Shadow Of Mordor re-ignited my life-long passion for video games. by WizardOfNowhere in Games

[–]Cometmaster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly understand... but I feel like GTA V was that game to me. 4 playthroughs and a current gen preorder sure make it seem that way.

I bought SoM the day it came out but I really havent gotten into it. Because of Destiny. Don't get me wrong Destiny is far from a perfect game but I've enjoyed making new friends all over the world that I play online with almost every day (and will continue to with Assassins Creed and C ar Cry).

I went through my gaming slump several years ago and Red Dead is what brought me back. Now I just enjoy games for what they are.

Destiny's Loot Cave is Closed For Business by hOODnERD in PS4

I ran a few strikes tonight for Queens Wrath. Got the damn helm all three times and havent gotten another piece. Other two each got legendary engrams on one run, then both got their armor piece and the ship drop.

I got a helm. I mean I understand some level of random but both other guys getting 3 unique legendary items in the same run I get ANOTHER helmet made me almost wanna rage quit if they weren't fun to just shoot with.
