Can't feel sorry for this guy.
When you leave that much stuff at anyone's house it's considered abandoned.
That familial relationship has a lot more to worry about than the stuff that was tossed.
How hard would it have been for him to tell his mother that the stuff was easily valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in that he would remove it from the house if she ever needed that space.

I'd bet that "$500k" is overvalued as well. You can ask how ever much you want when posting an auction, but is anyone going to actually buy the shit from you?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I don't understand how the hell anyone could buy the Steam version over the GOG version. Like, what's the point? I bet if it's #1 on Steam, it has to have sold WAY more on GOG.

Are they still at 102nm?

nVidia, bruh, still waiting on an acceptable upgrade from my 1080 Ti. >:O Why do I have more vram than a 3080? Wish you hadn't canceled the 20/24 gb version. Guess I'm waiting for the next generation, again.

I'm guessing 12% bad breath, 23% B.O., 27% human urine & feces, 8% rancid food, 21% animal waste, 6% rotting carcass and 2% unknown.

Maybe shift those numbers a bit. You forgot "France".

Looks like there is already a score of 59456 by the same card on the board. And that one is in 17th place. Not sure how this is remarkable.

Close enough!

Reinstalling for GTA 5 Singleplayer DLC!

I would love to play GTA Online but between all the hackers and horrible load time/load errors I won't go back.

Same. All the goddamn hackers that they refuse to do fuck-all about made me stop playing YEARS ago. Some fucking 12 year old stole like $30+ million from me in one literal second. I was so fucking mad. Children need to be fucking outlawed, I'm not even kidding.

To me this make sense. They are struggling to get this title polished for release, so having to deal with a new implementation of RT on PC this late seems unneeded as the AMD cards are few at this stage.

It's polished on PC.

Consoles are the reason for the delay. They should have just released it a month or 4 ago when it was ready, and let consoles wait a year to give them a taste of their own medicine for a change. >:/

And why don't the cops verify the authenticity of the call first before showing up armed to the teeth. It's beyond ridiculous that this is still a problem when SWATting has been going on for years if not decades. Jesus, just send a drone to scout it out, it's not like they even have to risk their own lives.

How would you suggest they verify it? Get an address, send an officer down, take the person in and question them?

They treat all calls as serious in an effort to save lives. Any delay in that process could be catastrophic. Worry about whether or not it's legitimate after the fact. The emergency is the important thing to respond to and time is of the essence. If this had happened in the USA, it would have taken them 2 hours to show up as it is. You want to add more time in somehow verifying the legitimacy of a caller? By that time, 20 people are dead. You go there and assess the situation and you find out the legitimacy and urgency at the same time. Maybe you save a life in the process.

Notice how they had trained individuals who know how to handle mental health and hostage situations there? We don't have that in America. Civilized nations understand the need for varying expertise. That's what opponents to "defund the police" don't understand.

On another subject, I've asked their social media channels multiple times if implants will be optional. I think it could be cool to play a character who abstains, but they've never answered, so I think they'll be forcing cyber mods on you, so it's not really a true RPG, and that kind of bums me out.

That is like saying, I can't play a D&D PC game with no weapons it's not a real RPG. If the narrative and setting states everyone has some level of cyberware for one reason or another then it does not make it any less a RPG. It's simply a issue you have with the setting and Pondsmith.

Then maybe I do. That's like saying there's a version of Earth where EVERYONE does drugs. Even if I wanted to, maybe I'm poor and can't afford them.

Makes ZERO sense that they would have a statue created of V on a motorcycle holding two pistols if it was never planned to be in the game.

Dual welding? Like MIG and TIG?

Did you not read what I wrote?

I just hope they don't fuck Ciri up. She wouldn't have had implants during the year she was there.

There is an extremely fun game currently in early access on Steam called Teardown. Easily, that $20 in value is there. Not sure if there are plans to bring multiplayer to it but it's a fun puzzle/sandbox/frustration-mellower kind of game.

Wat, I thought Cutter was a Trumpist.

Why the fuck would you think that? I've stated it multiple times over the years. I'm a social democrat. Blue collar all the way, man. Just because my political philosophy is left wing doesn't mean I don't lean right on certain issues. I firmly believe in capital punishment. I firmly believe in the right to bear arms. Every living being has the right to defend itself by any means possible IMO. I believe there's too much freedom in society. I don't believe that if it feels good do it. I believe in human responsibility over human rights. I believe in zero population growth initiative. And believe the rich/big biz need to start pulling their fucking weight like everyone else has to. Trump - the phony billionaire - pays less than a grand a year in tax while fucking over everyone who's ever worked for him? Fuck him. He should hang. Amazon makes billions and not only doesn't pay tax but gets 100+ mil a year in tax subsidies. Are you fucking kidding me?

That being said I don't like 'moderate' democrats either because they're fucking phonies too. They've been screwing the middle-class and working class with the GOP. They're only slightly less evil. That means they're still evil. And phonies like Harris? Another self-aggrandizing lawyer who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. The thought of her running the US is even scarier than Trump. He may have been a buffonish crook but she's a competent crook. I love social-democrats like Bernie and Liz. Bernie should have been prez in 2016. The world would be so much better off now. Same with Gore over Dubya.

Okay my bad then. Thanks for clearing that up. Seems like we're in alignment quite a bit. Bernie was our last hope. Now I'm perplexed as to who I was mixing you up with then. :/

P.S. - Fuck Mitch McConnell too. Is it just me, or is it like EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN deserves prison for treason? Holy shit.

Wat, I thought Cutter was a Trumpist.
