VAMPIRE!!!

I really like the show, but, I'm kinda curious about how they tie the start of the show into where the story has progressed.

The main char said she was done with dresses and doesn't wear them anymore at the point in the story we are at.
Also she is married to an indian AND they have lost all but 3 of their wagons.

Yet at the start of the show, she wakes up with indians killing everyone, there are at least 4 wagons, she is in a dress and she is surprised that the indian speaks english and asks how he can do this (while she is wearing a dress).

This makes no sense at all, she actually has indian made clothes and wears something that shows she is the wife of an indian in the current episode. She knows some works in indian as well, and she sure wouldn't just be wearing a dress with no gun (chaps etc) at any point in the future. It's like a total disconnect.

It doesn't make sense at all and it's very frustrating. There are only a few more episodes left till the end of the season and i don't see how we get to where the story started in that time at all.

Anyone watch it and know what the heck is going on?

I've never played an MMORPG before, but I heard this was like Diablo which I enjoy. How?

It's (from what I saw) similar in some ways to Diablo 3, it's the same type of combat. It has abilities per character/class and you can choose which abilities you want to put in your hotbar and gain more abilities as you level up.

It's a tiny bit more like D2 then D3 is in that you can actually advance abilities or put points in it, but.....not enough like D2 to interest me.

The combat is also VERY easy like D3...which was the part I disliked the most. In D3 you can at least avoid the story and zoom a character up pretty fast (now at least, not at laucnh). In Lost Ark you need to play through (50?) levels or so of extremely easy content before I guess end game happens. I don't know, didn't have the patience to find out.

Some people really like the game though, so I say give it a shot. It just didn't do it for me though.

I saw em live in concert in the Bay area somewhere in the early 90's. They opened for Metallica, and Metallica had to use their equipment cause theirs blew up lol.

They did Shutes and Ladders and a few other songs. I didn't really follow em much after that though, but they actually sounded a bit better than Metallica cause they were used to their equipment. Worst Metallica concert I went to, there was a HUGE difference in equipment between the bands.

As for my hours, I just stay however long I want to. Usually to try to make up hours. Or have enough hours that I can miss a day or two. Or leave early when I was going to my buddy's house...

Yeah, I get you, and when I was in my 20's and 30's (well 30's if I hadn't been married which I was), i would have been down for longer shifts, especially if it meant I could have another day off.

Also would have happily always skipped lunch.

They really should offer longer shifts more, but while they do, it's usually not so you can work less days, it's just longer shifts for all 5 days lol. It's kinda my point above, that I'm not making so well, which is you don't need to work people so hard, and more people would be willing to work at all if they didn't have to give up so much of their waking life to do it.

But you are right, it's not an easy change, i just am saying it makes more sense then setting up UBI, at least to me.

4 10's suck.

spend most of the first day off recovering.
far less time after/before shift to do anything.

The job before last that I had was working for this company that answered phones for Verizon (forget it's name it's been like 3 years). Anyway it had mandatory overtime and 10 hour shifts (but between lunch and getting there back it was 12 hours total. Sucked as I had NO time at all during the week (I just did the bare minimum which was 5 days a week, many did 6).

I was so tired that even on the weekend I had to force myself to go play DnD and that was the only socializing I did. I'm older, so it's harder for me, but that is the norm for many and you start work at 10 am and finish at 11pm. I had to leave by 9:30 to get there and usually didn't get home till midnight.

I couldn't fall asleep right away, because I was too wound up, and also had just eaten, so I would usually crash around 1-130 am, get about 7 1/2 hours sleep and repeat the whole thing the next day.

It sucked, and once I found out they lied about bonuses etc, I stopped working there (was supposed to pay around 80k a year, based on the bonuses the promised, 2 months in I found out that it really barely paid over min wage (and 1 1/2 min wage for the over time which was mandatory).

When young a 10 hour shift can work, and I did 12 hour shifts on my first electronic tech job (at 19), i also know many nurses do 12 hour shifts as well. As you get older though that shit can kill you literally.

At my age/health I will try to limit myself to 6 hour shifts as much as possible in the future. I have a freaking hard time sleeping, but once I get to sleep I need about 9 hours or I feel like crap all day.

I was considering getting my degree in nursing (there is a year long program that would give me my masters in it since I already have it in education), but honestly I can't handle the shifts anymore that most nurses have to work, and with my health going downhill + covid....It's not worth investing a year to get my degree in nursing if I might barely even get to use it.

Wait what? You choose your advance class and start off as it once you pick it in the beginning.

Perhaps he means a few only have 1 choice right now.

Honestly though, they really should have had the advance class come later, have more direct ways to power up your character (Based on choices) early on, and then slowly give out new abilities as you go. I did see that was possible (choosing them and leveling them up), but some (like the gunslinger) had a freakton of choices right off already, but only a couple were actually good. I tried a few others (like martial artist) but all the attacks seemed almost identical.

Maybe it gets better but meh, I just wasn't feeling it at all. Also you didn't NEED to be stronger because everything just freaking died anyway. I never healed myself once, as either character. What is the point (if you can even do it) of creating a character, choosing skills, finding equipment etc to make yourself stronger, if you can just walk through everything anyway.

That of course was the curse of Diablo 3 for me (which at least did have alot more things you could improve as you went, equipment (as long as there wasn't a Real Life Auction house to ruin it) did matter some etc). Back when it released you had to play through the story mode of D3 and it was easy to the point of abject boredom.

I felt the same with this game, without the Diablo theme, or even as much impact as equipment had in D3.

Hope other people enjoy it, but I gave up and won't be trying it again.

Doesn't one of the races have extra cold resistance or something? I forget.

Well 10 hours is 1 less day of work. For a family especially one parent can work 3 days and the other 4 days in that scenerio and someone is always home with the child. Even if both work 4 days that is only 1 day a week the child needs to be watched.

Also even just 8 hours less is 1 day less a week, or 20% less over all working. If it was 10 hours, and you removed the half/hour lunch as well (unless requested), that could effectively remove 2 days a week, meaning only needing to work 3 days with 10 hour shifts.

As far as prices go, those are based on supply and demand, the more money people have, the higher the prices rise. People working less wouldn't neccesarily increase prices unless less of everything was produced. The actual wages most companies pay are such a tiny portion of their costs that even doubling wages wouldn't have a huge effect on the end price (other than companies taking advantage of it of course).

I think we do have the resources and technology to reduce the required work week from each citizen, and I think that is a far better plan then setting up UBI (where a portion of citizens don't work at all, but the rest still have to work 40 or so hours to get by).

Anyway I doubt anything is going to change in the near future anyway. I would just like to see the wealth spread around a bit more, the huge profits many companies see shared with the employees that create them, and the stress on families especially be reduced. While a solution for that is free child care, or supplimented child care (also creates more jobs), a better solution in my opinion is to allow the family itself to watch the children by at least allowing those with 2 parents the ability to have someone home at all times with the child and only require a babysitter/child care center if the family desires that.

As it is now, I have a friend who works for the government but pays almost as much as she makes (after taxes) just for her child care (daughter is just turning 2 years old). Child care in this area for a adult babysitter (nanny) is about $25 an hour, so if you are making around 30 an hour, you break out about even. That is crazy and even if you pay for centers etc it's still a good $1500 a month or more.

I really feel for single parents today, you certainly are not gonna have an easy time of it working any job near min wage /15$ an hour.

See, half (or more) of the new users I thought were...new...are just other peoples alts I guess.

I never have a clue unless it's specifically spelled out, and half the time I miss that lol.

Yes, to the customers! In California, I had to use 10 of my Safeway rewards points to get the gas price down to what the rest of the country was paying. Saved about $25 on filling up my little pickup and 3 gas cans.

Genius to use the gas cans, but I don't go that far. I usually use the points on the 4 points for $7 off meat department instead, because my gas tank can't hold much gas so it's hard to get my moneys worth out of it.

I get about 12 gallons when i fill up, for 10 points......but if I use the 4 points for $7 I end up getting about 18$ off instead of $12. Gas cans might make that even (need to put 6 gallons into cans), but wouldn't save more, and well, then I'd need to drive around with gas cans lol.

You guys regret playing it yet?
I've lost like 100 social credit points on reddit bashing this game and the developers.

Ain't much to regret other than just not being into it and I was hoping it would distract me till Elden. That being said, I'm enjoying my current POE char (big reason I only gave it around 2-4 hours) so it's no big loss.

Now if I had spent any money on it at all, that would have been different, but I didn't.

I just wish they would actually make a really fun action/rpg MMO. I might give the new/revisted PSO 2 a try sometime (the one that was released last year in NA got old fast for me). The last decent action/rpg MMO was Dungeons and dragons online but I played that game to freaking DEATH.

FFXIV was fun, but more along the lines of WoW which means all chars progress pretty much in the same way, no character customization, and it's more turn based/use skills in order based, then action rpg. I can still enjoy those and I may play it, but DDO has mostly ruined me for them.

LinkPizza posted...

Never said it's bad. Just said it sounds like whining. And chance are people would always whine that whatever they were working was too much...

I mean, there is a difference. A 40 hour a week job with (in todays world) probably at least an hour commute (30 each way), and a half hour to hour lunch (mandatory), means you spend a good 10 hours a day getting to or at work.

I propose that is too much and not necessary anymore. It might have been in the past, but we could automate alot more than we already do, and with what we have now, I still think 90% of Americans at least shouldn't need to work that much.

If you dropped it down to 30, and jobs paid enough to live comfortably at that level, people who wanted to work less, could, they just wouldn't be as comfortable. They could rent a room etc and work only 3 days a week for instance.

But most people, instead of working 40 hours or more, and spending at least 10 hours a day m-f (leaving very little time left for family etc), could actually have more free time. They wouldn't complain about that (at least not for a long time) as it would be ALOT better.

I mean that is one whole day less they would need to work on average, or fewer hours per day (so that days at work don't feel completely wasted.)

It wouldn't solve everything, but it's fairly common in other countries (less hours worked per week that is, or longer lunches, more time off etc).

I mean, yeah, you would still have people upset they have to work at all while some Americans don't have to (due to being rich, disabled etc), but I still think the majority would be happier, less stressed, and have more time for their families....which would be a good thing.

Believe what you want, only one of us seems to feel the need to attack people or turn what they say into something negative for no reason at all. I just state things based of my actual experience, and generally try to help people while doing it. You on the other hand don't seem to ever offer any positive advice or even positive comments, it's always negative from you, at least from what I can remember. You like cats, that is certainly a plus, but you seem to want to tear anything other people say down, what is the point of that?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


And the Zangulus negativity continues.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Why do you always try and change what I say into your own narrative? I said more and more people are doing that, I didn't say it was acceptable or that a living wage should be based on that, in fact, I said the opposite. Stop trying to make everything negative.

The_Viscount posted...

But that's not actually the cost of living in an area. You don't need a single-occupancy apartment, that's a luxury. And housing is generally the largest single expense. If you control your housing expenses, you can live in most places.

Oh, I know, since I sold my house I have been living on less than $1000 a month (about 4 years now). I rented rooms and for the last 2 1/2 years basements (kinda like my own apartment). You can live on less, but that should not be considered a livable wage. You should not be forced to live with others, or consider it a luxury. There is no reason someone working 30 hours a week shouldn't be able to rent their own place, eat fairly well and be entertained.

Unbridled9 posted...

Plus, if you're talking about 1.0... It's seriously changed. IIRC 1.0 didn't even have auto-attack.

I was talking about Lost Ark. I have not given FF a try again yet. I could look up my old account probably, but I think there is still a monthly fee. If you could play the early stuff for free I might try it again, but otherwise I'll wait till after I destroy Elden Ring since I don't wanna get involved in something and then take a break (it often kills MMO's for me to take a break although In FF I could just switch to a different class so it wouldn't be too bad.

I did enjoy it though and I am sure I could get into it...so maybe after Elden ring I'll start playing it again. I don't mind paying $20 a month if I'm having fun, but I'm gonna be gone most of this month (heading to CA, so it's kinda a waste, and then next month I'm dedicating to Elden ring, so not a good time to try something like FF.

Technically in many places you don't even need an apartment/home to live, and living out of your car/van is becoming more and more common in some places, but yeah a livable wage should be based on the cost of "living" in an area, including a 1 bedroom apartment, utilities, insurance,internet (mandatory at this point),transportation costs and food.

The question then becomes how many hours should be required to obtain that. I propose that requiring 40 hours at that wage is too much and it should be estimated on a 30 hour work week. IF you can get 40 hours or more, great, you have extra money, but not all jobs will give you 40 hours and you shouldn't be required to work 2 jobs.

In my area for instance about the lowest you can get a 1 bedroom at this point is $1200 a month. Add in $100 for utilities and internet, 400 for food (you can live on less but everything is expensive now so that is a good average), 50 for transportation (low but doable), there is no insurance cost here if you make less than 3000$ per month. The total base cost of living here then should be around $1750. To have that much left over though, taxes will take about $100 out, so for ease say 1850$ base pay before taxes.

If you divide that by 120 hours (30 hours a week for 4 weeks), you end up with a base living wage of
$15.41 per hour. The min wage in this state right now is $14.49 an hour, almost a dollar less, but most place do pay at least $15/hr now....so most places are paying a living wage based on the above criteria.......and only requiring a person to work 30 hours.

That also doesn't factor in that many of the lower pay jobs include tips. There are still a ton that don't, but even subways and many other fast food places (papa murphys etc) all have tip jars now. Tips are separate from base pay in WA, so those jobs often pay significantly more after tips are factored in.

Sadly I already deleted it. I tried 2 classes but was bored to death with both of em. Hopefully others enjoy it more than I did, but I found Diablo 3 more fun, and I didn't really enjoy D3 much (Played D2 again recently way more).

Not having luck with MMO's lately, guess I'm burned out.

Considering all the things that have changed since covid you can be nostalgic for 3 years ago at this point.

There is a mud called 3k (short for 3 kingdoms) which I have played more than any other game in my life and more than anyone has played a game in this thread by a large margin so far.

The year before I met my wife I played it 14 1/2 hours a day on average for the whole year.

That was 5162 hours in that one year.

In total I have played it well over 20k hours, but you might be thinking...he just left it running etc.

No, I had a 97% in combat rate. Not only was I actively playing, I was actually in combat 97% of the time I was playing.

What is....really crazy....is that i'm not even in the top 50 when considering how much people have played it. I don't even usually make it into the top 10 anymore when I do play as far as how much you play in a 2 week period. The top 10 often have people who have played at least 10 our of the 14 days (actual time playing). 14 1/2 hours out of 24 hours will only net you 8-9 days played out of 2 weeks.

Back when I did my 14 1/2 stint I was top of the nolife list the whole year. The difference is now people bot a ton and use front ends to play, so it's WAY easier to keep in constant combat and not log off.

The same thing we do every Friday, Burnsie.

Never really thought that burns looks a bit like the brain and smithers like pinky.

Check out Heinlien and Asimov if you have not yet (along with Frank Herbert etc). Old Sci fi was pretty great although I have not kept up with the genre for over 20 years now.

Stranger in a strange land is a good one to start with (was the product of a bet between him and L Ron Hubbard (don't read his books), which he won resoundingly.

I totally grok his books.

Hard choice between a knife or a spoon.

I can eat most things with just my hands and often did before getting married. I can eat steak without a knife (just bite into it) but a knife sure makes it easier. The knife is good to cut pizza and may other things and you can spear things with a knife as well (potatoes etc).

If this included actually cooking the food (IE I can't use a knife to cut things to cook) then knife wins easily.

That being said, most of the things I would not eat with my hands, involve using a spoon. Cereal, oatmeal, soups, ice cream etc. You could do ice cream with a knife I guess but it would be a bit dangerous.

So, blah, as long as I can still use a knife to actually cook with (and it does say just eating utensil), I would go with a spoon. In theory you can get a nice metal spoon and kinda cut things with it anyway.

Clicker game is Grim Clicker
Non Clicker game is Dungeons and Dragons online at 384 but most of the time I played that game was not through steam (thousands of hours over the years).

I think I was in the FFXIV beta, I know I played it at launch. Never went back to it though (or maybe tried it again once a long time ago but only briefly). Now that it's free I wouldn't need to try and figure out my old account to play it again. Back then (at launch) there were parts you pretty much had to party for, which kinda sucks for me.

I've tried some of Ark now, just played the female gunslinger so far. It's ok, but both very easy, and kinda meh on the actual combat so far. I may need to try a different class (this one just hasn't really been fun yet).

I mean, it's just a voice, there are many voice actors that could imitate his voice, probably well enough to never even notice the difference.

I got it.

I dont play with KB&M. Spent the whole day playing gunner(Deadeye) with KB&M. Felt the game was meh.

Then I switched to controller and fucking woke up cant waiting to play. Its really good. Really fun. But Im new to it and keep wondering if I chose the right class.

Wont' let me play till tomorrow. So much hate for this game, but at the same time many people are saying it's massively addicting (and complaining about that mostly lolz).

I will try with a controller first to give it a better chance. If I don't like it, i'll just keep playing my current PoE character till I go on my trip, and when I get back Elden Ring will be ready.

Have not actually played a MMO for awhile (since Phantasy Star Online 2 came out in the US...like a year ago or so?) and only played the last one like a month or less. None have really caught my attention since Dungeons and Dragons Online......but damn if I don't actually really need a good MMO to get lost in.

Back in the day MUDS like 3k could keep me entertained forever. In fact, I replayed 3k again a few years ago and that is by far the most I have played a MMO in like a decade. I still got in like 8+ hours a day on that.

Most other MMO's just don't have enough progression and everything takes so long or you don't have much character customization etc.

DocDelicious posted...

Interesting that you mention this as it's the one bit of praise I've seen the game get. Like even if someone hates everything about the game generally they'll say something like "but the full-loot PvP was great".

With the success of games like Escape from Tarkov, Rust, Mortal Online (and MO2), I hope we see more games pick up this feature. It reminds me of the glory days of Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, and Dark Age of Camelot, and I desperately want more.

DAoC rocked:)

Yeah, I'm mostly just killing time till Elden Ring tbh. I got a trip coming up in a week as well, so really just need to enjoy it for a week or so, then I'll be into elden ring and there is more stuff coming out after that.

Seatbelts prevent death in high speed collisions by only 44%... seatbelts kinda suck

It's worse than that. Seatbelts prevent death but still cause major damage to 82% of people in high speed collisions, many never fully recover AND quite a few end up on life support.

When looking at high speed crashes seatbelt cause alot of suffering that would not happen if the drivers were not wearing a seatbelt. In non-high speed crashes the numbers are different and seatbelts can prevent almost any injury, or just cause minor injuries that can heal over time.

In high speed crashes though you are far more likely to suffer and potentially for a long time, if you are wearing a seatbelt. Think of that before you buckle up!!

I think I was in the Guild wars (1) beta, i was in all the MMO betas early on (WoW/Daoc/Everquest etc).

Think I kept that up through guild wars and of course Dungeons and Dragons online (my most played mmo).

I just hope it's fun. I already downloaded it to prepare.

Ah, thought guild wars was, just remembered it wrong I guess. Never played em that much. Do remember one of the dances was the micheal jackson thriller dance and another was the Elaine Dance from Sienfield heh...dances were the best part.

I have not traditionally loved Korean MMO's, although the guild wars games were pretty fun, I never got deeply into either of them, and that was by far the most I played any Korean MMO so far.

Hoping this is good though, it has great reviews and many say it plays much like Diablo.

Anyone played beta at all?

Ain't nowhere around here doing anything special for it, really dissapointed. Still need to check pappa murphies but blah. I wanted old school pizza but they are not doing jack and are super expensive. I may still get it anyway.

Get a haircut you hippie

I'm currently in the process of giving myself a haircut.

Slowly

Over weeks.

That way I can't cause major damage/mess my hair up much, and I just basically cut off the spikey bits that stand out etc. Seems to be working well so far.

Not sure why I spent $20 a pop every few months for my whole life when I coulda just done this.

Oh well

That was a good 30 years of haircuts, maybe average 1 every 3 months or 4 times a year....so 120 haircuts at $20 (just always paid 20 including the tip, and have not gotten one for long enough that that still included a tip).

That is $2400 wasted. I always would get a haircut right before a date or a job interview etc, because my hair never looks as good as right after getting a cut.

Probably was still worth it, but $2400 is alot as well.

I have a decade to go before I qualify for social security unless I become disabled (or more importantly unless I go through the process of becoming labeled as disabled which I won't do).

My life expectancy with my various medical issues, being diabetic and my family history is definitely less than 10 years. Therefore it is extremely unlikely that I will ever get any social security at all, even though I paid into it my whole life.

I think you should be able to get it early, at around 50, if your willing to only get it for so many years. While it would not be suggested for most healthy people, if you are NOT healthy, you should be able to choose to receive it without being designated as disabled after 50, if your willing to reduce the number of years to only 10.

What do you think, and would you choose the option when you turned 50 if that was implemented?

Btw, I do intent to work as long as I can, but that isn't going to be another 10 years for sure, and no, I do not intend on being declared disabled to get benefits early, I think the fact you have to do that is messed up.

really dont appreciate the handwaving of pushing crack into black communities as short term or not having a big impact

Heck from what I remember he initiated the war on drugs (which was totally wacked and still is) and certainly something you can blame him for. He didn't start the crack cocaine epidemic and as someone who grew up in the projects across this country from the 70's and through the 80s, I can testify that crack cocaine didn't start the drug problems there. It did make things worse, but it certainly wasn't something I would lay at the feet of the president. There are many things to blame him for, and the war on drugs was done in totally the wrong way (And still is, but at least some states are finally becoming sane), but yeah, I don't believe he was secretly behind the walls of the white house going "heh heh, heh heh, how can I get poor people to take drugs and then throw them in prison to use them like slaves".

I'm not a fan of Reagan, but I also don't think he was a total evil devil, he just was a corporate/rich sell out like most politicians and he basically did what his supporters wanted or what he thought was best for them. His supporters (the ones that mattered) where the rich and business owners so that is what he focused on.

The tax breaks for the rich were a bit over the top and the loopholes created have seriously hurt this country. You can't straight up blame Reagan though since so many other Presidents (of both sides) have had endless opportunities to end them and close the loops, but have not done so, even while having full control of congress.

Most of the other crap he did was short term or didn't have that big of an impact, but we are basically in as much debt as we are because of the tax cuts etc he created, and the fact nobody has yet reversed them.

Worse, now to deal with the issue would require an extreme change which could easily make other countries more appealing to large corporations than the US. If there had been a slow change over time, to just below what is available elsewhere, then the companies would stay here (or be less likely to leave at least).

While Reagan did some stuff that wasn't great, he did things that aligned with his political agenda and made his constituents happy over all. What doesn't make sense to me is why future presidents didn't change things (like Obama during his first 2 years for instance, but just one example).

Bush Jnr certainly wasn't great either, but then again neither was Clinton, Obama or I'd say Biden now. I honestly have not been seriously impressed by ANY president in the last 30 years (since I was voting basically) and so singling one out at this point is just saying one bad president is a bit worse than the rest. Our two party system causes any sitting president to be sabotaged by the other party and just does not work. Anything good a president somehow manages to actually do while in office is immediately attacked and sabotaged by the other party as soon as they leave office.

I would say it's not our Presidents that have been bad, but the system itself, but the presidents have been bad as well and certainly have contributed (possible partially due to the way we elect them and how much power corporations etc have over that process.) We don't even really have a choice over who we vote for, we just get a few options (mostly funded by extremely wealthy or corporations, and get to choose between zorg or zarg (or whatever those simpsons aliens are called).

Yeah, we could vote for a Bearnie but like Zarg says, we'd just be throwing our votes away.

Yeah, I did some research and it seems like a few other countries are already providing them but US doctors are not sure if they are needed yet and are waiting for more evidence lol.

Thank you US doctors. You saw how good waiting till last minute worked this time and decided to double up!!

So here is the interesting question. If you got the booster shot right when they were available at the start of September (for any high risk people), it's now been 5 months already. The booster shot was suggested for anyone that finished the original shots 6 months earlier. Well it's almost been 6 months now since I got my booster shot.

So the question is......do we need another one? If we do, when will they first be available?

It seems to me that if you need a booster 6 months after the initial shot, then the shot probably wears off or stops being as effective after 6 months. Thing is, they focus is still on getting people to get the LAST booster shot, nobody is even talking about people who got it 5 months ago getting another one In March.

Are those of us who got the booster shot early going to be screwed because of it?
