Epic Games 40% Share
Riot Games 100% Share
Grinding Gear Games 80% Share (might be higher actually)

Also look at all of these high quality games:

There was also this one: https://kotaku.com/pubg-removed-from-china-replaced-with-hilarious-clone-1834625310

12 yards long, two lanes wide,
65 tons of American pride.

The answer to that question is always yes.

$539.82, which is more than I thought. I forget I had a few full priced games back in 2010.

literal versions of these cars

So basically a bunch of random cars or a time machine?

Forgot it was Father's Day, but aside from that it is a fairly typical Sunday...for 2020 at least.

I don't think Epic has bought a studio recently, they are probably due.

Never been able to get a handle on that fucking jump rope

Yeah, it is even harder in the newer versions since the input lag is worse. Most people just use the PC version with a script to hit the 1000 mark.

I don't know why games keep doing underwater sequences, I can't think of a single instance where people were like "I really liked the underwater sequence in game x".

I would say scrub Facebook for faces and record their ages and race, but that would be illegal.

Yeah, someone was doing something very similar to that https://mashable.com/article/ibm-flickr-images-training-facial-recognition-system/

That just means the tech is shitty.

Remove the errors; Now what's wrong with it?

I tend to agree, these are issues that can be resolved by using a larger and more diverse image pool when training.

Like a lot of new technology there is a fear of it being abused, but that is honestly a risk with almost all technology.

Work offers payroll deduction for pretty much any tax exempt charity so I've been donating to Child's Play and a local animal shelter for years. I also have Child's Play setup on Amazon Smile.

"The majority of commercial facial-recognition systems exhibit bias, according to a study from a federal agency released on Thursday, underscoring questions about a technology increasingly used by police departments and federal agencies to identify suspected criminals.
The systems falsely identified African-American and Asian faces 10 times to 100 times more than Caucasian faces, the National Institute of Standards and Technology reported on Thursday. Among a database of photos used by law enforcement agencies in the United States, the highest error rates came in identifying Native Americans, the study found.
The technology also had more difficulty identifying women than men. And it falsely identified older adults up to 10 times more than middle-aged adults."

Long time ago yes.

I am also for some reason getting the image of a woman eating a hamster (or another rodent of some kind)?

That is a thing that happens.

i really liked this tv miniseries. Very underrated.

I remember it being very popular at the time.

Off. In most meetings someone is presenting something on screen anyway.

Unless you're over 50 (which is possible, we've got some old fucks here), the Internet existed before you were born.

I was using 'internet' in the more modern context, I'm aware that Arpanet existed well prior to that and colleges had access before it was generally available to the public. I'm not quite that old, although my older brother is a few months older than the official 'creation' date for Arpanet.

Okay true but why wouldn't they keep their streaming services separate?

Oh, I wasn't arguing that they wouldn't, it is certainly more profitable for them to keep them as separate services.

I guess I'd call it a mystery choose your own adventure? Most of the gameplay is just walking, but the story and the choices you make to affect that story are what made it so great.

My one complaint with the game was that, while you can make choices, it doesn't actually affect the end of the story.

Yeah, when I was 15 the internet didn't exist...

Run out of Simpsons quotes?

Plus why would ESPN do that

Disney is part owner of ESPN.

Are you referring to the Elks Lodge? If so, then my parents have been involved in the ones in Arizona since I was a kid. From what I can tell they're basically a bar and lounge with a separate larger space for events like raffles, holiday stuff, weddings etc. I'd guess "rotary" refers to the rotation of events since that seems to be a major part and they occur quite frequently.

I like the other answers more though, lol.

They actual answer is way less interesting.

"The members chose the name Rotary because initially they rotated subsequent weekly club meetings to each other's offices" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_International

It does become less goofy later on, but its been a really long time since I watched it so I couldn't tell you when. It is always somewhat goofy, its more Dragonball than DBZ or DBS. It is definitely shonen too, so if that isn't your thing you aren't going to like it no how far in you watch.

"The 3rd Armored Division entered combat in Normandy with 232 M4 Sherman tanks. During the European Campaign, the Division had some 648 Sherman tanks completely destroyed in combat and we had another 700 knocked out, repaired and put back into operation. This was a loss rate of 580 percent."

There is a certain irony in the Sherman's proclivity for bursting into flames.

captpackrat posted...

Makes sense. Why would NASCAR want to be associated with losers.

Does the General Sherman just have flames painted all over it?

There are good parts to it but that final arc is just a train wreck.

Chemical weapons are not tear gas.

I enjoyed that game but it did have issues. The problem was that it was never the main focus of the studio, it was just meant as an introduction to the MMO they were working on and that is where the majority of their time and effort went.

POWER! woot

Lucky, our ETA is now 11pm tomorrow.

Around here we haven't left it yet.

Yeah, our new ETA is 7pm tomorrow.

SunWuKung420 posted...

It's my day off. Still no power.

Yeah, PECO's outage map lists 2:20pm as the estimate, but every outage in our area shows the same time so I'm not holding my breath.

SunWuKung420 posted...

A quick but powerful storm just swept through the area and knocked out the power all over the place.

I'm going to read a "Harry Bosch" novel while drinking a beer by with window.

Yeah, same here...well at least as far as the storm and power goes. Eventually I have to sign back in to work, so no beers.

1st degree murder? No, because there is almost zero chance they would ever manage to get a conviction on that. Should he be charged with a lesser murder count, absolutely.

I was going to say, I'm still not done with the first yet.

This reminded me of the last time I was playing Skyrim.

Laughed my ass off when crouching and backing up a few steps made the enemies completely lose my character. Like dude, I'm right here. Right in front of you.

Skyrim is also the game where a guy can have a glowing arrow sticking out of his face and dismiss it as being the wind.

I was wondering if there was another version in one of the MMO's because the original XII was on the PS2.

Considering getting someone to look after a child for single/working parents is also a challenge, some people may not have another option.

Depends how you define hot shot attorney. Senior partners in a major firm can take home millions a year and have a much longer career than most baseball players.

Trump has made this country stronger and more capable than it has EVER been. The only people who disagree were born after 1995.

I was born in 75 and I think Trump is the most useless sack of flesh to adorn the Oval Office in the history of this country.

Privatized is better than government run. We the tax payers fund something that bleeds money like a stuck pig. Or private companies that compete with each other bringing us the consumer, lower prices. I ordered off amazon on Friday at 5am and got my package on Sunday. That's a must better place than USPS could ever do.

My wife uses USPS for her business and depending on where the packages go they arrive really slow or damaged amd it is very difficult to get a refund. Private business doesnt want negative feed back so they will refund no problem. Easy fix than having a fully pissed of customer.

You do know that the USPS isn't funded by taxpayers right? The last time they received funding from the government was 1981.

He wants USPS to suffer because he wants it to become privatized. He doesn't care what's good for the people, he only cares what's good for his rich buddies.

Honestly the USPS is just a tool in his feud with Jeff Bezos.
