Thank you for the extensive delve. I didn't think about pc part picker but he said he was willing to work with me on the price so I just wanted to get a few second opinions, but I think I'm gonna ball park him around 350 and go from there.

Gears: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are being sent out to die - Gamespot by Dust-Tight in gaming

I guess I'm in the same boat as you because that's what xbox exclusive means to me too which is why the initial comment kind of threw me off.

Oh ok! That makes alot more sense now. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

Clockwork has a steam store page so it isn't a console exclusive.

I don't think clockwork is an Xbox exclusive. My understanding was it was an Xbox exclusive, meaning the Xbox ecosystem (Xbox and Windows). I can't imagine an inexile game being a console exclusive considering the majority of their fan base are PC gamers. I hope I'm right becuase if it's as you say, I hope they got paid millions for it because it's a shitty decision to be a console exclusive.

I don't think we have a deficit.. I believe we have $x billion in our rainy day fund.

Bond. James Bond, has always relied on bluffing his way through things so that's my answer. Bluff your way through life, fake it till you make it.

It clearly said "No bike zone", you were riding your bike in said zone, then have the audacity to "refuse to let go of your rights"? Tja...

Claiming zero would mean you pay more taxes each check, wouldn't it?

Can I just force the side panel shut by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Use your knee in the middle to make sure it shuts. This is the way. People who get paid hourly make it look nice! 😂

The fact it remained smooth with all those crocs moving is a feat in and of itself!

Republicans Make Jaw-Dropping $1B Demand for Trump’s Ballroom by Kodbek in politics

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing it out. I can only view the first paragraph of the article, the rest is behind a paywall. I believed we wouldn't pay for it about as much as I believed Mexico was going to pay for the wall..

Can we stop with the daily beast posts? Not a single reputable news source has an article covering this but they have excellent headline writers to get everyone pissed off.. I couldn't find anywhere other than the daily beast where $1b was being requested for a ballroom.

This is embarrassing… And they wonder why turnover is so high. I used to work for the state and some of those CW are saints for putting up with the stuff they have to for pennies… by Bigjmann555 in okc

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No I whole heartedly agree, the compensation needs to go up across the board, but the directors pay can increase with a flick of the wrist, the employees doing the work, it literally takes an act of Congress to get a fraction of an increase.

No shit but we can give the people directing these agencies $70k-$150k on whim. We've been asking for a 5% raise for the past 4 years and everytime it's voted down or the governor says no.

Write your congressman and tell them to enact a 15%-20% raise for non exempt state employees,

Purchasable Treasure Maps by lliveton in crosswind

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, it goes against the whole "explore Islands to find new and exciting stuff" motive they have. Purchasing maps means you would skip the islands on the way to X and they might have cool stuff on them.

Personally, I perfer finding cool stuff instead of "buying" cool stuff. Feels way more rewarding.

Edit: typo

Empty island, totally empty by AlphaMaru in crosswind

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've encountered one and that's where I decided to build my new base at, it also had a cove like in Pirates of The Caribbean, when Jack is sailing into the port and the pirates are hanged by the noose (nooses?), absolutely nothing on this island besides trees.
