| Topic | Alright PotD, what's your Game of the Year for 2022 |
| streamofthesky 12/13/22 1:44:35 PM #25 | Entity13 posted... I'd say it wasn't really a letdown at all, and better than I expected it would be. Granted, there may have been parts that could have been a little meatier, but it's mostly good."You hear that, Noah..." Gameplay and exploration were fine. Story was the worst in the series since XCX. And not only was the story weak, but the dialogue went on and on ("and on!" -- Fiora) about basically fucking nothing. Even had lengthy in-character dialogue about shit like changing classes. If brevity is the soul of wit, then XC3's plot is sub-50 IQ. |

| streamofthesky 12/13/22 1:22:34 AM #22 | Xenoblade 3 and Bayonetta 3 have both been let downs and the weakest titles in their respective series. X3 wasn't as much of a let down and I like the series more to begin with, so I guess it's still my GotY. I am only halfway thru Bayo 3, but...I don't see it getting better. Asterigos looks good, but I don't have it yet. And I do have Cross Code and still haven't played it... |
| Topic | Last Game you Pre-Ordered or Paid Full Price For? |
| streamofthesky 12/12/22 10:14:32 AM #30 | Last full price game was Xenoblade 3 Would've been Bayonetta 3, but the Viola crap caused me to wait for black friday sales and more info. Last pre-order is tough to remember...probably Xenoblade DE (collectors edition) in 2020. Or Age of Calamity... I think that one was more recent.... |

| streamofthesky 12/04/22 10:26:18 AM #5 | I watch Dunkey's and Yatzee's videos because they are funny and relatively entertaining. But holy hell do I absolutely disagree w/ their tastes in games. Dunkey especially does seem like he intentionally goes after JRPGs more harshly than other genres, just to be a troll, and it is pretty annoying sometimes. Don't know much about his fan base, I just casually watch his videos sometimes, and any time I scroll through the comments they're like 90% vanilla boring memes, like tweaks on "Morbin all over the place", "this is one of the games of all time", references to Gex, etc... |

| streamofthesky 11/30/22 3:36:27 PM #9 | That's a shame. All of those poor pit bull mixes getting abandoned to shelters b/c some ass hole thought they'd want one (and never bothered to go to a shelter to find one) until reality set in. Of course, very few will want those breeds. Don't know what to say, then. Didn't realize how lopsided the pit bull population at shelters was. |

| streamofthesky 11/30/22 9:15:59 AM #11 | Monopoman posted... Kinda funny they did make an 80's show but it went away so fast no one noticed really. It's a shame. Geoff Pierson is a great, underrated actor. At the time, it felt like the show was "too soon", I think. So, I love Red Foreman, but shouldn't the main parental figures be like... Eric and Donna or whoever? |

| Topic | God I hate Warhammer 40k so much. |
| streamofthesky 11/21/22 10:36:19 PM #10 | hypnox posted... Yeah I can see stuff like that happening a lot. Eh, I knew how Space Marines play. I just found it boring... Not much variety in the troop choices. They're all pretty tough, pretty strong, not exceptional at anything.. Closest to an exception are the terminators, loved those guys. Could recklessly deep strike them behind the entire enemy army and they'd manage to survive for most of the battle all on their own while the rest of my army got into position and wrecked from the front. But aside from terminators... all the space marine stuff was so overpriced (in point value). key to victory ended up being fielding as few specialist troops as possible to deal w/ the stuff they're needed for (like heavy weapons to blow up tanks), and just max out the number of regular dudes w/ bolters otherwise. I usually just won battles from sheer withering boltgun fire and holding ground from charges w/ tons of basic space marines.... It was effective, but super boring. I like more specialized or melee-focused armies. Eldar have that craft world where you can use more squads of the aspect warriors and less of the guardians... Chaos just has all sorts of wacky stuff. Tyranids were pretty cool, too. |
| Topic | God I hate Warhammer 40k so much. |
| streamofthesky 11/21/22 9:50:15 PM #4 | I wanted to play WH Fantasy because I always preferred medieval fantasy to sci-fi. But all my friends wanted to play or were playing 40K. I wanted to play as Eldar or Chaos, but my friends had a bunch of regular Space Marines they got w/ paint sets or something and gave to me for cheap. Well, I had infantry, but to actually have a competitive/functional army, I needed tanks. And heavy weapons units. And assault troops. And terminators. And that's the story of how I ended up spending like $500 on an army I was only mildly interested in, in a game I was only mildly interested in. Still got said Space Marine army in storage, haven't touch it since I was a teenager, lol |

| streamofthesky 11/17/22 5:36:29 PM #2 | I always check my receipt after leaving the cashier area. So many times, it didn't ring up the sale price or they scanned something more times than I bought it, wrong prices, etc... I stop by customer service over my receipt like 25% of my shopping trips, and I let small differences go.... It's literally wrong somewhere more often than it's right. |

| streamofthesky 11/17/22 8:49:19 AM #4 | I remember a time when Democrats were the progressive party, trying to pass policies that were fair to everyone and helped based on need, and Republicans were the regressive party, trying to pass policies that only helped a tiny % of their chosen few favorites (the rich) and fuck everyone else. Somewhere along the way, Democrats morphed into a variation of the Republican party. First it was punishing the "essential workers" during COVID by giving the "non-essential" ones more money than them to sit at home. Now this... |

| Topic | How closely do you follow your credit score? |
| streamofthesky 11/16/22 12:45:11 AM #10 | hypnox posted... I had my credit card number stolen locally four times, so I check my balances often. So I just pay off the balance since I have the app open anyway.Well, on the bright side, you have the protections of a credit card. You could actually dispute charges and get them removed. If it was a debit card linked directly to your bank account, you'd be screwed. Debit cards are dumb. Worst of both worlds. |
| Topic | How closely do you follow your credit score? |
| streamofthesky 11/16/22 12:41:00 AM #8 | hypnox posted... Honestly thats what I used to do. Pay my bills with my bank account and use my Amazon Credit card for everything since they give 3% cash back on all purchases and 5% on their web site. So I would buy stuff and submit a payment the next day. I would almost always get 100 bucks a month from the cash back. I buy w/ my credit card, get the % cash back, and have auto pay set up to take the balance out the day it's due from my bank account. It's literally zero effort. |
| Topic | How closely do you follow your credit score? |
| streamofthesky 11/16/22 12:23:22 AM #5 | Every once in a while Was limited by the sheer "length of credit history" for a long time, but finally cracked into the 800's like 2 years ago. If my credit wasn't amazing, getting a home construction loan would've been much harder and/or cost more. Raising credit score is pretty fucking easy. Just buy stuff w/ credit card like you would've w/ cash, pay in full (don't treat it like a loan for money you don't have), and just...keep doing that. The amount of time it takes is the only "hard" part. Obviously if you have some medical issue or something and go into massive debt, then it's gonna be tougher. But I doubt such a person is worrying about their credit score anyway. |

Same for all the other programmers who "feel the same way". Maybe they figure it's an easy super-high paying job while it lasts, and are just enjoying the ride? In which case...go you, I guess.

Should've just taken the $1 billion loss and bailed on the deal he entrapped himself into. Now, Space X? Absolutely. Especially w/ NASA being gutted, more and more work is being given to Space X and others. That's a company that actually produces something of value, can be monetized (cause you're actually selling something), and has a future. |

| streamofthesky 11/08/22 8:44:47 AM #12 | There's been a lot of "advancements" in the past decade or so. It's just that most of them are bad changes and anti-consumer. Mostly dealing with monetization schemes to squeeze out every last penny from the customer and intentionally making playing the game normally a boring fucking slog, so you'll want to pay the company money to skip over playing the game. Companies have been VERY innovative on that front! |
