Anyway, my setup that I've had the most success with was a Tactics setup with the double crossbowmatic and a barnacle

yeah the dual turret setups on Tactics builds are pretty safe. the only purple weapon i have unlocked ATM is the whip, though, which I'm not a huge fan of.

That well written review on IGN made it seem good. That reviewer has a way with words.

in the end it gave a well deserving game a bunch of free publicity.

it's so hard to tell if TC is trolling or not

I mean, NYC does sound like a terrible place to live tbh

Vacation though? Sure, go for it. But living? Sounds awful.

but he's saying the entire country is unsafe and he wants out.

Yup. Real good. Im not that great at it tho. Ive unlocked quite a bit of stuff, but get wrecked at the castle...

yeah those dudes are tough for sure. have you tried Survivability? once you get the stat to level 9 or 10 the mutation that restores HP on kills gives you like 9-10 per and is pretty darn helpful. also look into Dmg % reduction items such as the Ice Bow or a Shield along with a necklace.

what setups/builds do you guys like? i was originally focusing on Tactics (purple) but I've been having good success with Survival. i like the Broadsword especially when combined with the Ice Bow.

nice job!

what sort of build did you have when you finished?

I've reached the point where I can beat the first two bosses pretty much every time, but the last boss is on another level.

If you invest $200 a month from ages 25 to 67 at 10% per year, you will end up with $1,550,794 at retirement age. $633,409 when adjusted for inflation.

10% growth yearly for 40 years seems like a massive assumption that you're passing off as simple and easy.

correct.

My assumptions were conservative in that I assumed that this person was never earning a raise, was never earning a match from their employer, and was never doing anything on the side to increase their earning potential.

The historical average inflation-adjusted return for the S&P 500 is 7%. (Close to 10% before adjusting for inflation). VTSAX 5-year return is 12.81% and anyone who is putting money into the market should spend time balancing their portfolio and moving investments around as needed to keep the performance going.

You can find index funds with much higher returns than that.

It doesn't take a lot of money each month to get you a comfortable retirement.

your assumption also conveniently ignores the possibility of a financial tragedy like a layoff or a serious medical problem.

this mentality of "its trivially simple for everyone to save $X/month" is just rooted in ignorance and privilege.

No, it's not rooted in ignorance or privilege at all. It's rooted in basic math and access to freely available data on the average household income. And I already specified that we're talking about able-bodied people. Obviously someone who can't work anymore is an exception to that.

But note how you have to be dishonest and always zero in on the edge cases that you think prove your point, rather than make any concessions whatsoever about what the average person can accomplish and does accomplish.

People routinely spend much more than $100 a month on coffee, cable, exorbitant car payments for more car than they need, and just general waste.

some people do. some people don't and are still poor. not recognizing that is intellectually dishonest.

conspiracy theories of brainwashing of college kids to collapse capitalism

not to mention this conspiracy theory is being pushed by the same poster who, ITT, claims capitalism will fix everything. yet, somehow, that same infallible system allows for such conspiracies to flourish.

*ponders*

it's embarrassing that you think that weird argument you made about the free market creating new education systems was actually an argument, and it's also dishonest of you to lie about me claiming capitalism will fix everything. that's why i've kept my responses to you at a bare minimum lmfao.

biut its wildly illogical for someone who continuously spouts the merits of the free market to then blame the same free market for brainwashing constituents against itself.

It's only happening in the west because of a concerted and organized effort to brainwash an entire generation into radical leftism, all as a means of trying to collapse America from within.

so then why doesn't the free market respond by creating new institutions of higher learning aimed at promoting far-right philosophies?

Probably just don't wanna work.

It's because in high school and college you've got a ton of educators brainwashing them with factually wrong information about seizing the means of production, nationalizing everything, penalizing private property, etc. They don't know better because most of them have never even held a real job.

on the contrary, i was a diehard libertarian in college and i hated the idea of paying for other people to be lazy.

then i grew up, experienced the real world for a while and i was converted back to a Democrat.

Proudclad, you realize that we have _some_ socialism in this country already, right? roads being owned by the government is a form of socialism.

so does the article say these "young people and Democrats" want pure socialism, where everything is owned by the state? or just aspects of it integrated into our society, like we have today, but just more of it, notably for things like healthcare?

one time i was stuck in a terrible traffic jam (full stop, not moving for 5+ minutes) on the freeway and i really had to pee. after not moving an inch for more than 5 minutes and with my bladder about to burst, i pulled over to the emergency lane because thankfully i had an empty 20oz soda bottle in the car and i decided to relieve myself into that. well, i pull over, unzip and start peeing into the bottle while sitting in my car and i quickly fill up the bottle but im not done peeing. at this point i just pinch myself shut (which stings like a mf btw) and start to freak out b/c i still have to go. then guess what happens? a freaking cop pulls up behind me (b/c im on the berm). he approaches the car and goes "Excuse me sir, is everyth ---- OH", he quickly figured out what was going on. i explain to him that i had a bathroom emergency but then mentioned that my bottle filled up and i wasn't finished. i asked him if he had anything in his car i could relieve myself into. he laughed (not in a mean way) and went back to his car to look. he came back and told me he didn't have anything and i explained that i really needed to finish. he told me that if i didn't mind the entire freeway of stopped cars seeing me go, i was free to exit my car and finish my business on the side of the road. "OH YES PLEASE" i said and i jumped out of my car, hobbled over to the other side and had the best piss of my life.

But please still include the motion controls, because I thought they were dramatically superior to the gamecube controls

i agree that motion is superior to the original GC configuration only because it allowed for strafe + aiming at the same time, where in the original GC layout you could only do one at a time. the lock-on capability definitely alleviated the pain but there were still many times where i wished i could move + aim at the same time.

and yeah, leaving the motion controls in there and making an option would be cool.
