Official Giant Bomb Thread Mostly for Complaining About Dan
ratamero replied to tegan's topic in Idle Banter
It's the worst brand of "you're playing the game wrong" possible. Instead of concentrating on the fun, entertaining experience that is seeing someone go through a game in a completely different way from you, they keep insisting that Drew should be striving for OPTIMAL PLAY. -

Premium is definitely worth it. The back catalogue is nothing short of fantastic. (also, don't read the comments, ever. Seriously, MGS comments are especially bad.) -

Dan Ryckert has never bought pants in his whole life. Good evening everyone! -
From all the ones listed, I think I've only tried the Côte d'Or and the Lindt ones. Côte d'Or is better.

I know very little about Dota (have played about 10 hours in my whole life), enough to more or less understand what's going on without getting the intricacies. I started watching Secret x iG Game 1 yesterday and all of a sudden it was 2:30AM and Game 3 was over? I don't understand what happened. I think I will have to watch more Dota today.

Looking forward to getting intoxicated and playing Fibbage with friends today. Will report back.

Damn it, but computers have become really complicated

Get any 5400RPM SATA from a major brand that's not Seagate and you should be fine to store all your stuff that doesn't need amazing speed. a 3TB WD Caviar drive shouldn't set you back more than $100. -
My days of Complex Analysis and Stochastic Calculus are mostly behind me, I think. Now I basically use relatively uncomplicated maths and some slightly more complicated stats. There's definitely beauty in having to come up with proofs for results you've never seen before based on things you have seen before and I was good enough doing that, but applied maths if definitely much more my thing.

I think nothing in the world can summarize Dan Ryckert as much as the data from yesterday's Rocket League challenge: -
cs_rio, Counter-Strike

Does Rubacava count as a level? Anyway, Rubacava.

Next Contradiction stream happening this week! Maybe they'll finish the game? I don't want to wait another two weeks after that to see the thrilling conclusion of Jenks's exploits. -
And they don't understand (or choose not to) that the information you choose to present and the way it is framed have very non-objective subtexts. It's like being an eternal 16-year old, where you've just discovered logic, you believe you're cleverer than everyone else and you take every argument as confrontational.

I'll just say that you guys should watch the 75-min Quick Look of Contradiction. I won't even tell you that you should watch the supplemental footage because I know you will. -
I am proud to announce that I own this game and will proceed to play the shit out of it in the next few weeks. It looks great.

It just seemed to me that he's not comfortable talking about personal stuff at all (which is fine!). Maybe not the best guest to have for a life advice podcast... So, Metal Gear Scanlon, eh? Drew still insists on running around, getting spotted and killing everyone (including the people who were supposed to be on his side). Somehow, I still find it enjoyable. -
Changing the subject a bit (but keeping the general thematic of the banking system as evil), is anyone with more economics knowledge aware of the "Positive Money" movement? It is basically a group of people trying to educate people on how money is created in the economy (spoilers: private banks do most of it*) and proposing that money creation should be returned to a democratic, transparent entity. * I had no idea that was the case, I always thought banks could only lend what they had in reserve. The following Bank of England paper on money creation is very interesting: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q1prereleasemoneycreation.pdf

The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)
ratamero replied to Wrestlevania's topic in Idle Banter
Still like this so, so much even after 6 years. -
My favourite game that I've never played. I spent WAY too many hours watching my brother, for years and years.

Today is the day when the first African ever got to wear the famous polka-dot jersey at the Tour de France. It was a great moment to watch.

He's very clearly not human. In a good way. -
Almost that, but I'm not fit enough for that much cycling, so I went by train instead

I decided to skip work altogether and do some work from home with no shirt on and the AC on max. Also, thanks for the recommendations! They were especially useful in Cambridge.

I've seen every single clip there is and it took me about 4h.
