I'm still not sure why people are arguing 85% after the first million. The real numbers are nowhere near that

Isn't the current limit like 11 million for a couple before any taxes kick in? I feel like I posted something about this when "death taxes" first popped back up in the conversation. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/ten-facts-you-should-know-about-the-federal-estate-tax

Recent trends in gaming
VR can be expensive as well so that's a pretty big barrier to entry for what may turn out to just be a gimmick for all they know

Movies You've Seen (or would like to see) Recently
I can't think of a single movie that I especially liked either of them in but I'm weird, so... Michael Fassbender would be my personal favorite from that generation, and Tom Hardy is up there for certain as well. Some actors who come to mind that I think are as good or better, or at least worthy of consideration (all within five years of Gosling's age): Michael Fassbender Tom Hardy Chiwetel Ejiofor Tahar Rahim Oscar Isaac Jake Gyllenhaal Ejiofor is probably my favorite of that bunch followed by Hardy PS my favorite Chiwetel Ejiofor movie is probably Redbelt

question about games with a silent protagonist
I also took silent protag to mean that they have dialogue but are not voiced I don't mind having my character voiced if it is a set character even if I can modify them to a large degree, I'm thinking Shepard from Mass Effect here. For blank slate characters I prefer them to not have their dialogue voiced.

DLC, F2P, P2W, Lootboxes, gambling and doom of the industry
The only lootbox strategy I ever liked was Lord of the Rings Online but that has changed with the latest expansion. All the lootboxes (lootboxen?) are rarish drops and deed rewards and the keys to open them are slightly more rare drops and deed rewards but you can also buy them in the store for fairly cheap. The new highest level Mordor boxes are still rarish drops but the keys are only available in the store. None of the keys or boxes are bound so you can trade them but I still don't like that the new keys are only mtx.

You did WHAT...?!
Struggling to catch up in classes this semester. Last semester was straight As and now I'm just hoping to pass. Didn't help that I was so heavily medicated the last few months that I could barely function let alone comprehend new concepts and ideas. Sorry to hear that Barti

Political Twelve Monkeys
I am sure the information that the hunt helps the species won't be bought. I have a real personal problem with hunting for reasons other than consumption. But that's me. These hunts take place in other countries in accordance with their laws. It is not the US governments business to tell citizens they can't go to a place they are welcome to do an activity that is legal. And this ban was yet another example of an intrusive nanny state sticking it's nose where it does not belong. If you want the hunts banned you really should be talking to the governments that not only allow but encourage them. As distasteful as I find the activity, free people should be left alone to pursue their interests as long as they are legal where they pursue them. The ban was only on bringing back trophies though, right? We never stopped them from getting their rocks off by killing the animals.

You did WHAT...?!
For about 20 minutes this morning I efreshed the backer page every few seconds to see if the beta had been released. Got my key as soon as it popped up and plugged it right into GOG like it mattered since I was at work and couldn't play it anyway. First there was a feeling of joy and a sense of accomplishment but that was quickly followed by an uneasy feeling and a bit of regret as I slowly came to the realization that I had absolutely no desire to actually participate in the beta. Now I wish I hadn't redeemed it so that I could give it away to someone who might enjoy it.

I thought about copying it here but that'd require effort and a basic grasp of proper formatting.
