Spectre06

I’m sure this will just be me screaming into the void, but I just watched it for the first time and I just cannot get over how jarring the ending was.

Not because it was surprising (because they telegraphed it the whole time) or because it made suicide seem like the only way out, it was surprising because it fit so poorly with the heart of the film.

I get that this is a remake of a remake of a remake and they probably felt beholden to the originals (and the story that drove them). And I know the title is A Star is Born. But, that’s not really what the movie is about, that’s just surface level or if you want to have another pretentious Hollywood-self-serving picture.

It’s about the dying o

3x the episodes = 3x the clicks = 3x the revenue = no need to work in January, I refuse.

Must've taken a lot out of him to try for a month. See you guys in February!

I don’t have an issue with Dexter dying. I think one of the unsatisfying aspects of the first finale is that he never had to face true repercussions for what he had done. Going into NB, I wasn’t expecting him to make it out. And leading up to the last episode, I was loving the series, flaws and all because it felt like old Dexter.

But by the time we got through Episode 9, I thought there was a reasonable chance he was going to survive and we were going to get another season… mainly because I couldn’t see a way for the writers to properly finish in an hour long episode without it feeling like a rushed mess. That was exactly how I felt before the end of Game of Thrones though so I suppose

Anyone know if there's anything I can do to fix this apart from trying to RMA it? The thing is brand new but I can't get the display to turn on (full brightness is on already). I know it's working because I can hear feedback sounds on the headset but I just can't get it to turn on...

I’ve never bought a GPU on launch before but am debating doing it this time and am hoping to get some help from people who have done this before.

This is a brand new build and my first in around a decade so I’m also waiting for Zen 3 to come out (which won’t be until October/November at the earliest) meaning I won’t have any actual need for the GPU until then.

I know if I wait I’ll be able to check reviews and maybe even see information come out about something like a 3080 Ti but I’m concerned that supply will be short after launch and/or prices will go up after the initial launch.

Should I buy now or just wait? Are my concerns valid or am I just overthinking it?

I know it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things but that was my favorite of all the little buildings. Sad to see it go.

This stacks on top of their current winter sale pricing for a good amount of items so it might be worth a look to see if there’s anything that interests you in your size.

It’s pretty easy to find firsts for under $200 before tax and unlike their seconds which carry a $25 restock fee, firsts have free 90 day returns if unworn.

Companies like Microsoft, Valve, etc. want to accept crypto but don't actually want to handle it due to volatility and high fees. Even the quick, low fee currencies are still going to have massive price volatility due to the nature of crypto (not to mention the difficulty gaining the name recognition of Bitcoin).

And this is an issue with them accepting one currency. Try hundreds. Or try being the mom and pop store that wants to accept crypto and runs into the same issues without the resources of a Microsoft to solve it. It's a big pain to the point where they don

Just asking regarding getting a guaranteed Grand Armor. I know the rest of the stuff in it is pretty dated but Ramza is on my A team with Shout and Hail of Stones... is Grand Armor worth the pull now that G5 is here?

This game is by far the most time consuming, painful grind that I've ever played and it isn't even close.

A huge part of the problem is that they amply reward "playing" the game but make it insanely long and tedious to do so. To illustrate:

Every day we get 240 energy daily just from the lapse of time. We get another 70 energy from a successful tower run. Assume we get another 70 from shinies within the dungeons. Ignore quests or extra purchased stamina. And let's say we're grinding 5 energy quest dungeons today which we can no longer quick loot.

380 stamina daily / 5 stamina per dungeon = 76 dungeon runs per day. Assuming each takes around 2 minutes to complete and re-load on avera
