  1. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Was it? Twitter is always pretty good to me. Was there something in particular?
  2. Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarter)

    aaaaand I haven't played this in a week. I don't know what makes my interest in this game so mercurial. I think I hit my Python goal, and lost interest. I also got blown up by another dude completely randomly in a RES, came back, and most definitely blew him up. He denied even knowing. I suppose that's possible, since I turned off "report to security" on my ship while running snuggling missions. He still fucking blew me up though, and now I'm right on the scary precipice of insurance credits where I was safe before.
  3. Snow Day!

  4. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    I don't actually know. I guess my brain assumed they would be compensated in some way for overtime or crunch, because those are things I believe in. So naive! The company would probably say that they account for that in terms of the salary the employee is being paid, but I couldn't tell you if the employees feel that way (I mean, I could tell you but it's not my place to speak for them)
  5. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    I imagine it actually costs roughly the same amount. If you just assume that they work basically the same amount of hours, it's the same amount of work just over a longer amount of time. You will also most certainly get more hours that are more productive. It probably takes fewer hours if you do no crunch.
  6. Black Lives Matter

    So as to better answer your question, are you referring to law enforcement doing the shooting, or someone legally carrying a firearm?
  7. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Can I get a Witness? I am skeptical that you could get 4 movie tickets for one The Witness, but I understand the sentiment.
  8. That one doesn't even make sense!
  9. This reminds me- I was listening to a British gaming podcast, and I learned the mind boggling fact that apparently people in the UK call Resident Evil REZZY. Rezzy 1, Rezzy 6, etc. I don't even have a particular fondness for Resident Evil but I had a distinct THING when I heard that. It was very unpleasant and I did not like it at all. I'm going to have to ask anyone in the UK using this particular language to reevaluate for my sanity, please.
  10. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Does anyone listen to Video Games Hot Dog and follow along with the game assignment they do? This sounds a bit similar, so curious about anyone how participates finds doing that to be.
  11. XCOM 2

    This has absolutely no bearing on the messaging in the email, but I'm dumbfounded that they would write his handle as "bisquit" which is not a word or his name. I guess it just makes me tune out because you can't even take the time to get his name right when you're discussing your PR campaign.
  12. Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarter)

    Yep that's what I'm running. it just feels cookie cutter and boring.
  13. Making Mr. Remo Uncomfortable

    There is an excellent game jam name in this thread's title.
  14. Meow.

    Aww, thanks! Yes, seems like it's been fairly successful. There's been some growling and hissing, but they both seem to share the same temperament (don't mess with me I won't mess with you. But seriously don't mess with me). This apparently happened some time after the pup went out in the morning.
  15. Meow.

    My girlfriend brought her older dog over with her to spend the weekend, and the animals met for the first time.

    I am so bad with video game money. So I now own a Python. It has quite a ways to go to be fully decked, but it's got Class A shields. Let's do this, bounty hunters. I would love some suggestions for what to put on my medium hardpoints. Right now I have multicannons because they're a reasonable basic choice, and too many lasers is kinda bad news.
  17. I'm guessing since you got a K processor, you got an aftermarket heatsink and fan as well? I believe most of the stock CPUs come with paste ready to go right on the heatsink now. I would like to say how much I enjoyed reading the podcast description this week. It perfectly captured the entire conversation, and was great to read in its own right.
  18. Powerball Fantasies

    No it's worse than that. At one point they doubled the price of the tickets, too.
  19. wrong thread

    No you didn't.
  20. Powerball Fantasies

    I put in $4 for two tickets in a company office pool. I refer to it as the Camaraderie Tax. It is me donating $4 to indulge the company in our collective daydreams for a day or two, and for us to all be included in something.
  21. wrong thread

    nothing to see here

    I want to say thanks for introducing me to this type of trading, DocRandal. It somehow combines very relaxing stretches with extremely tense moments in a way that really works for me. I was upset at getting blown up, but the concept is good for me. I have also made legit profits despite getting scanned a couple of times. I hit 100m net worth last night and don't have to choose between and Asp and a Vulture. I considered buying a completely bare bones Python last night just to have one, but that seems silly. The only thing I'll not thank you for is now being suspicious of getting into any ship without a 25+ ly jump range and 500 ly of cruising capacity. One weird thing is this doesn't show up under profits from trading OR smuggling.
  23. Powerball Fantasies

    Powerball is a national lottery. The current lottery is the highest it's ever been, $1.5 billion, and the drawing is tonight. http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/13/news/powerball-drawing-tonight/ Mangela if you go to some sort of celeb Meet And Greet it could possibly be under $1000.
  24. How do you organize your steam library?

    I still use this system, but now there are a lot more games actually moving back and forth between those categories!
