Topic$25 million, or Unlimited knowledge/Skill of these 5 trades.

People are vastly underestimating how much cash having unlimited knowledge and skill in mechanics would bring you. Hell even just the knowledge.

Yeah art/writing are the obvious quick tickets, but pending on what you're qualifying as mechanics that is worth so much more than 25mil.

If it's just car stuff then whatever. There's also Aircraft, HVAC, industrial machinery, and more though.

Yeah, in all honesty, Dragon's Dogma 2 was pretty much what I wanted out of a sequel to Dragon's Dogma. I wanted more Dragon's Dogman because I loved the systems in it. I wasn't expecting there to be almost zero iteration on its core systems and even the look of the world, but oh well. Hopefully they address a lot of the issues. Am I correct in assuming that there is no Ur Dragon in the post game? That was a big reason why people played for the post game.
I feel like that can be done in an update. Hoping there's some sort of extra added in, on the same spirit as the ur dragon.

Playing on PC, the performance is a bit better, aside from the starting area.

Tried a new game on another PC(couldn't really run it on it before, can with some jitter now) and the starting area is a mess of floating NPCs and the ground textures not being exactly where the ground is. Everything else looks fine though lol

Probably wont even let you boot the game depending on whether or not that GPU is still being supported with official drivers. And even then the game will crash if (and when) you run out of VRAM.
Running the game on a laptop with 5gb VRAM and never had it crash.

Basically said chiropractors are massage therapists, and good for non drug related pain relief while you pursue a more permanent solution through proper treatment, but you need to get a good one because there are serious risks.

Basically, they're there if your insurance won't pay for proper PT.

yep

also if feels like this gen hasnt even gotten started. Its dumb to try and push console gaming to just being a worse version of PC gaming with incremental upgrades
That's how I see it right now.

"Console gaming is cheaper!" People say, but if you don't want to be stuck with poor performance you drop 300-400 on a launch console, 500 on the enhanced version.

I have a 7 year old PC I built for just under 800 and had just barely begun to show any signs of age really, and still likely has a few years before I really need to do anything to keep up. Been a better investment than either of the base consoles.

Ray tracing has yet to impress me in any regard, so that doesn't matter to me.

It was an emachine my mom used for work and handed down to me when a disk got stuck in the floppy drive. In retrospect I'm pretty sure the thing had so many viruses it probably was the world's first AI.

It would turn itself on, as soon as I connected to the Internet all kinda weird shit and pop-ups would appear. It had like 18 search bars on it. Even had that old purple gorilla thing that walked around the screen.

I used it almost exclusively to play a DOS copy of Street Fighter 2 that I still have lmao
