This Division has been in a “bad” place since 2019 considering the subject matter. My brother tried to get me to play it with him and one of his friends and I spent about 10 hours in before I decided it was too real.

I guess soon it’ll be Nobody’s Golf.

...Way ahead of you, already heading the the bridge to jump off.

This sucks. If you ever played this game single player it took *forever* to get the coins to get new courses. Playing online showered you with coins, suggesting the game was balanced to force you to participate in online activities (even if were the only one playing) . If you buy this game after the online modes are…

Wanted to pitch a “Tom Clancy’s The Division or 2020?” article to Kotaku back then, making people try to guess if it was real life or a screenshot from the games

As per BBC reporting, the Russian soldiers that took over Chernobyl drove their tanks thru the Red Forest kicking up radioactive dirt in the process. Soldiers never wore protective suits and had no clue why Chernobyl was in the state it was in. Soldiers also began digging trenches around the nuclear plant. The reason…

I ended up playing a ton of Quake 2 RTX. But then again, Q2 is the best single player game Id ever made by far, so it was not that big of a surprise. That game holds up surprisingly well.

Its only really worth it if you’re a mage build already.  Then it gives you an OP melee weapon to go with sorceries.

Duddde same! I’m a Strength/Faith build and I’ve been running with the bloodhound fang for most of the game now. I keep kind of “wanting” to switch it up, but I just haven’t found anything close to it’s damage output and just overall fun of use. It’s like+8 now and I destroy enemies. I absolutely love that shadow step…

That int requirement is a bummer. You really pretty much have to spec for the weapon. Maybe respeccing isn’t a big deal though... I haven’ tried it.  Trying to pump around 12 levels into a stat when you are a bit further through the game is a ton of runes.

Sweet baby jesus, if I want to toast a bagel or some wholegrain bread in the morning, I’m not gonna turn the oven on. I would almost inevitably burn something. The toaster a) is ready to use immediately b) is faster and c) turns off after a set period of time. If I’m putzing around making coffee and getting things…

I have it and respec’d my character to try it out, wasn’t a fan. I’m using the bloodhound’s fang though and it melts enemies with left and right strong attacks. Maybe I’ll start throwing some levels into Intelligence and give it another shot.

I cannot imagine taking 15+ minutes to make a piece of toast in the oven. Who does this?

your conventional oven and broiler will easily do the trick as well. Your oven does a fine job at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes; just flip your bread halfway through

I get that you aren’t a toast (or English muffin or toasted bagel) person, but this is just silly advice.

How much money (and time) are you…

Honestly “drug him and hit him with this $5 wrench” seems like something that should be done to crypto nerds as a matter of course, even if they have exactly zero valuable passwords to divulge

And the people who bought into Beanie Babies still had the toys when the speculative bubble burst!

It’s not monopoly money if real cash (say, in USD) is converted then launched into the crypto black-hole. How much will return as USD is a valid question to ask.
(The answer is very likely: not as much)

Right.

it’s all monopoly money. this crypto currency is theoretically worth 600 million but there aren’t enough people in the world with that much money that are stupid enough to buy it. you can be a crypto millionaire on paper but you aren’t actually a millionaire until you manage to cash out and turn that crypto into USD…

I’m just sitting here in awe that there was that much money to lose. The more I read about NFTs the more ridiculous it gets.
