Doesn't it seem like big business tax cuts should be dependent on demonstrable proof that the funds will be reinvested or put towards more competitive employee wages and salaries.- Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers
injurai replied to AndreaColombo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Odd... I feel, like wizards, a few classes could lean on a trinket-like item. Certainly not all need to. I think having partially fulfilled layers of classes that differ is what makes things interesting in class based systems.- Nerdgasm: Movies and Shows for Geeks and Nerds

Sony should have made something more like the Switch, but I also think that the hardware just wasn't really there at the time. Sony also tries to be too premium often, I think Nintendo having had a lot of mobile R&D already done has a far lower bar of entry. Sony has to make R&D back. I think Sony should eventually try again for a portable, and it should probably launch after their next-gen console is successful. So it can be a proper companion.- Genuine apology for my actions yesterday
It's a good song; I appreciated hearing it again when I first saw it in the music thread. Then again... and again? And AGAIN??? The odd part was that there was no apparent rhyme or reason for the spam, it just was. Legend goes there are forum members who are still acting out in protest years after a slight.

No clue what my first was. It's between Pac-Man at Pizza Hut, some PC game on Windows 95, or some game on my dad's Atari. Asteroids or Pitfall may have been my first, I'm leaning towards Pitfall. Age of Empires was probably the first "game of my era" that wasn't a kids or educational game though. So it was quite an important game to my early development. Largely responsible for my interest in history. Games in general are responsible for tearing me away from history career wise, even though I don't plan to go into the game industry. At least not as an entry level lackey.- Please reduce the amount of loot
injurai replied to Celsius's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Hahaha... Sorry. This just makes me think of the MMO term "KOS", or "kill on-sight," which was typically used when a faction was so unhappy with you that the guards of their settlements would attack you immediately when you got into range (sorry, I know... over-explanation for a forum of gamers who probably already knew that). So, now I'm just imagining a bunch of merchants standing outside a town gate with the guards, wielding sacks of money and bull-rushing you, turning you upside down, shaking all the marked items out of your pack and pockets, and taking them whilst paying you for them.

I sort of agree with RND for the most part, but then I also agree with Ben. I don't think stay at home women need a universal basic income. But I do think the wives should get a certain cut of the wealth, with alimony proportional what is reasonable to support kids with respect to fair custody resolutions. They should get some cut of retirement savings, savings, and other things. I think there needs to be a finer grain way of dealing with sharing of family worth with a spouse when that worth is coming through the salary of just one person. Better standard pre-nups would be a start. I also think it should become standard that spouses don't have joint accounts. That way a couple is constantly negotiating spending, instead of just deferring everything down the road. I think both parents should take up the mantle of running a "wing" of the household. So if one parent is low on fun money, then they better start working again. It's not dad's fault he's the fun one. I think the think men get most screwed on is usually custody, which is a way to argue for more alimony. If men's situation with respect to custody was better handled, I think a lot of the in-equalities would be smoothed over. Because right now custody favors woman for than really any other in-equality favors a particular sex. Also, if a man's income changes. He should not have to pay to maintain the woman's level of lifestyle. That is probably the most bull**** part about alimony as it stands. To be honest, many people funnel that money away from their kids too, I think trusts should be setup to direct funds to the kid's lifestyle more than the ex-spouses. It's the kids who should benefit the most under the law, not the woman.- Please reduce the amount of loot
injurai replied to Celsius's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Part of my agrees with this, part of me hates the tedious nature of selling six pages worth of weapons from my stash. I'd like to see not every enemy have gear they were using, as some gear would surely break in the battle anyway, and instead of have other types of loot, like currency, consumables, ingredients, etc. Could just have an auto-sell feature that let's you mark certain item tiers or item types as being sell on sight.- Dialogue in Obsidian Games

Pretty sure it is a chicken and egg situation of the two factors reinforcing each other. The government shouldn't be involved in controlling the media, certainly. We are also at the point where culturally many people give themselves to certain corporate factions though, which is no doubt serious.- AMD Ryzen
Computer engineers don't really think in terms of chipsets, it's more of a consumer facing abstraction judging by that link. I've been out of the BYOPC market for a while, It's a familiar term but I don't ever it carrying any significant water even when I last built a rig. From what I'm reading, the idea of a chipset just seems to muddy the water of cpu sockets and hardware abstractions in general. I'd expect Ryzen 2 to remain on the same socket type, while rolling out any architecture optimizations features or extensions that came up short in the first rollout.- The Obsidian Community all-time top 106 games (poll) - CLOSED!
