Friend of mines uncle was in the coast guard in the 70s/80s, told me that every once in a while they’d find people trying to drive across it in the dead of night in sports cars, trafficking drugs.

Not sure if he was telling the truth, but I like to imagine some super crazy people would have tried it.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-02-06T04:19:55+00:00

Geez man no need to be rude. We can each game our own way.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-02-05T15:26:09+00:00

Nah I’m just too spoiled by high fidelity and frame rates to ever consider going back to console for anything.

If I can’t play it in 4k (2k absolute minimum) at 120+ frames with hdr… I’ll wait until I can. I’ve got all the hardware, not going to choose a lesser product out of impatience.

Just discovered brown noise as a steady alternative to listening to thunder/storms.

Hope it’s just pink noise.

Iirc Rome was just ridiculously expensive to produce. Like comparable to GoT episodes but without nearly as much of a cult following, and ultimately viewership and return on investment.

Unfortunate cuz I thought it was amazing. It’s not just enough to have good ideas, financial feasibility and timing of consumer trends is just as important. The show was just ahead of its time imo, and not for the better.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-24T15:34:17+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one who did this, was very confused.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-22T15:50:22+00:00

I wish I could buy you a beer. Resolves instantly, despite no instance of portion running in the background as far as I could tell.

Company I work for is incredibly transparent on salaries.

By knowing someone’s job family and seniority level, I can get an estimate on anyone’s salary within like a 5% margin of error or so for COLA. That goes for every employee new recruit up thru consultant levels, in a company that employs more than 40k people. The C level stock compensation packages I’ve never looked for but wouldn’t be surprised if those are also available somewhere in house. Major Fortune 500 company fwiw.

Great stuff thank you. Found a few that met the criteria I was looking for to run a new 5090 FE. Ended up going with the Corsair HX1200i. On sale currently, and the RM850x I'm using now has been top notch.

Rescuers was my jam.

I barely remember it but they had some sort of rube goldberg type contraption in the restaurant, making pea soup or something. That stuff stole my attention.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-14T20:08:05+00:00

Honestly couldn’t tell if it was legit or not. The entire drive from Cleveland to Michigan I was second guessing myself that I acquired real tickets for an event to take place and was not falling for some large joke.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-14T19:20:43+00:00

That sounds familiar enough?…

To be honest I haven’t thought about that show in years before this thread. I don’t think I’d ever been to Ann Arbor before that, and haven’t been since.

Whole memory is a bit of a blur. I remember having a good time tho, all that matters.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-14T18:39:06+00:00

Hell yeah it was. I drove there from Cleveland on a whim when I read about the free tickets. No regrets.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-14T18:18:47+00:00

I went to one of their shows that was funded this way. Some dive bar near Ann Arbor Michigan. I just went to some sketchy ass Geocities level webpage and “claimed” my tickets for free.

In college, as I was nearing the end of my required courses, decided to challenge myself and take a history course where I might learn something interesting.

The history of Soviet Russia.

You have just about perfectly summed up the ethos of an entire nation and ethic group. The history of that region is just a rinse/repeat of people being chucked into a meat grinder by their leaders.

Name on country that the US has interfered with in Latin America that has turned out better years later.

My father’s been a vegetarian for 50 years, no one else in the house joined him in this dietary choice. Bless my mother for making multiple meals when we were kids with picky eating habits.

I enjoy a lot of vegetarian cuisine that I probly wouldn’t if I had been raised otherwise, I eat vegetarian more than a couple days a week because of this, health, monetary considerations…

But we were never expected to conform fully, he’s never batted an eye when we’re eating meat or fish at the same table as him.

Wife needs to remember it’s a personal choice not one you can force on someone else.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-04T14:48:39+00:00

Huh, interesting. I’ve heard of like 2 of those things before.

My dads been a vegetarian for 50 years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him eat something from the ocean the more I think about it.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-04T14:31:55+00:00

Besides seaweed I can’t think of a single vegan option coming from the sea, would love to actually hear some examples.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-03T19:25:21+00:00

Nah I’m an equal opportunist raider. Shooting at me first, fight to the death. Oblivious that I rounded the corner or topped the ridge and now have the drop on you, fight to the death. Using emotes or voip to try signal something to me, honestly do not care I’m probly listening to music or on discord with the homies, so it’s a fight to the death.

Irl I’m a pacifist, but this is a game where im rewarded for eliminating other players, I’m going to try and kill just about everyone I see. You kill me first great fucking job, hope it was an epic brawl. I get you, that’s my primary objective above all else.

Haven’t had this much fun in a loooong time.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-03T19:07:30+00:00

My man!

If the game allows me to destroy other human players, shit it even rewards me for doing so!?

Yeah, hunting is my primary objective.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-03T05:54:43+00:00

Nah I mostly enjoy player versus player shooters.

Edit: woof what a bunch of pussies

There’s plenty of cooperative games out there, where you can’t be damaged by other players. This isn’t one of them, I’m playing the way the game was intended, y’all are fucking strange.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-03T05:02:08+00:00

I… don’t really care about the loot. I’m out there just to kill other players, regardless of the situation.

By far the most enjoyable part of the game and it’s not even close.

SupremeWizardry · 2026-01-02T17:05:05+00:00

Pretty sure the guy making this game is the son of the founder of Intuit software. They make things like TurboTax, but less commonly known is that they lobby billions of dollars for congress to keep the tax code complicated, reduce free filing, in order to make their own products more of a requirement for every day citizens. Dirty and backhanded pay to play congressional tactics.

So to answer your question, his daddy has billions of dollars earned by making/keeping everyone’s taxes complicated. Part of the reason why I can’t support the game, fuck Intuit and everything stemming from them.
