Here youg. Read all the terribleness by yourself. 

 

Its near unbelievale how much the US went out if its way, due to Corporate interests, pride and pettiness, to abuse Puerto Rico.

 

 

Honestly I am not surprised. Our illustrious government has been playing politics on pandemic stimulus aid. Winters rolling around, people are losings their homes & businesses, some will likely starve/freeze to death,  and our politicians don't give a fuck. If you work and pay your taxes. You've paid more taxes than Amazon by yourself. 😑

 

@SoneroYour link opens the Amazon app on my phone. I'll have to check when I get home from work this evening.

Man, had a GTX 3070 in my NewEgg cart at 9:00am, could not complete the transaction before they were sold out at 9:02am.

 

C'est la vie.

i put a crop of the image below, but it’s massive so i put it in a spoiler. I will say that this image almost seems like it’s made up though, and not actually from the cartoon. I don’t know, it looks funny.

I see it now. This this thing was forced. Even after noticing Batman all I see is Wolverine

So let's see what France does now... They got the real war on terror.

[Sonero]

I was gonna post about that too but...man the whole French situation is nuts.

Thats the escalation, not the starting incident. You'd have to go back a couple of weeks to the beheading of the teacher for showing the mohammed cartoon.

 

US civilar wars stuff feels like a LARP compared to the situatiom in France.

I was on the fence as well and was in the checkout cart for BB for like 20 mins then it got yoinked. Now back to the 3080 wait game once again.

If AMD actually has stock, they are gonna clean up. This situation with Nvidia is ridiculous. I wish I had the link that showed a retailers orders versus what Nvidia actually shipped them IIRC the fill rate was around 6%. This has to be the worst paper launch in recent memory.

It's not really Nvidia, it's the bot-powered reseller market.  Apparently a lot of the bot-nets that had been targeting the collectibles market (like high end sneakers) have recently re-tooled to go after graphics cards.  Unless AMD can absolutely flood the market, they're probably going to have day 1 supply issues too.

 

I'd actually be perfectly happy with a hypothetical GTX 3060, the 3070 is kind of at the absolute ceiling of where the rest of my rig could go.

It's not just bots. They don't have the inventory to ship in the first place.

I guess I was subconsciously feeling guilty about something, cause I tried to listen to the Rogan/Kanye interview. 

 

It legit felt like self flagellating penance. I feel stupider as a result, and I'm not joking, I think it gave me covid. 

 

  

[DangerousJ]

You're not stupid,

 

You're a masochist.

[M A R T I A N]

I haven't watched the Kanye interview yet. 

 

But I did see that he said the prequels are better movies than the new age Star Wars stuff. 

 

Which tells me the real Kanye is still in there somewhere, fighting to get out and make a new Late Registration album....

I checked out the major releases from March this year and all of them are under $50 other than Animal Crossing

Yeah, Nintendo don't do sales lmao. Every once in a blue moon their first party games will drop to $50 for like, a weekend.

 

Otherwise, most stuff seems to get a price cut after 4 or 5 months. 

[DangerousJ]

Well the Best Buy Black Friday ad has it for $10- pretty low even for a  recent game.

It seems to be a good game-if it was super crappy , i could understand.

Nice, thanks!

 

also, it seems like it runs DC roms as opposed to just Naomi (or is it just DC?)  which version of MVC2 are you using on it?

Both Fightcade 2 and NullDC-BEAR use the NullDC emulator, which supports both Naomi and Dreamcast.

 

Fightcade 2 implementation is just raw NullDC netplay, pretty much unaltered.  Matchmaking is handled through Fightcade.

 

NullDC-BEAR requires you to install a VPN and create/join a room.  Once you do that you'll see a list of available players/games in the built-in browser.  It automatically installs NAOMI games for you and streamlines configuration and setup.

 

NullDC-BEAR is definitely superior -- I'd recommend it.

Mustard would for sure cover the shit smell a little better🤔 

There is a sensory sciences lab in my department, I should bring this up to them, see what they think

[Sonero]

After months of fighting with the Texas Department of Safety website, I have managed to replace my license online.

 

Closest appointment to do it in person would've been March 4th.

 

I'm not saying the free market could fix that but holy sh--. Still have to replace my wife's ID so who knows how that will go.

Don’t, they’ll never look at you the same again.

 

edit: and I can’t believe we’re actually discussing which condiment would compliment shit the best (what have I done? lol) but you may have a point with mustard. I just think that would be very harsh mouthful to endure, while sour cream may smooth it out a bit.

 

now let’s never discuss this again lol

Having a seminar for work and they're covering demographics.

 

They had non-binary and agender both on the chart, so some asked what the difference between those two are. 

 

Dead silence for 15 seconds, then the person leading the seminar goes "I'm gonna have to google that" 🤣

One of my wife's students just broke my mind. She showed them a clip from Fantasia as part of the class. As she is introducing the clip and the history behind the movie, one of her students goes:

 

"I love movies from the 1900s"

Search the Obituaries and find someone who has died recently at an older age. Typically these people will have an abundance of medical devices and their family members will want to get rid of them on the cheap so they don't have to deal with the hassle.

Just saw the funniest shit:

 

at the store, guy walks with his daughter, neither have mask. 
 

lady asks “Sir, do you need help purchasing a mask” guy answers, “No, I do not.” 
 

lady looks nervous, calls on the radio for back-up. Homeboy at the back of the store (it’s a staples so it’s super open) sees this going on, sees the guy is black. 
 

the guy employee goes to the back and comes back 30 seconds later with a BLM shirt on🤣🤣🤣

[scorp]

Still blows my mind that you guys don't have mandatory rulings that masks have to be worn inside places.

This is a forum for fighting game loving nerds. Where we discuss ass eating, tipping, post memes etc. There's no Raymond Redington type dudes here that can hook you up like that.
