CJacobs posted:I said that because it is. They very poorly mesh two totally different worlds of journalism together. The people running the site don't know what they want it to be, or at least it seems that way to me as an outside observer. Which is a different statement about a different subject than the first thing you quoted Fair enough, and that's not an unreasonable argument. I mean, some of the end-of-year stuff wasn't my bag, but I respect that there are people who are really into the fandom aspect and they loved it, so it's good they have a venue -- it was only a week, anyway. But for a site that's four months old and run by an EIC with... oh, four month's experience running a site, they're doing a pretty good job in my book. The streams (launch and continuing) and podcasts have made them a net positive in the world

I usually take breaks when I beat a level or a section of a game, which usually works out to that schedule. It does not work for a game like Nioh, where I realize I have been completely hunched over tensed in the same position for two and a half hours

It's rock paper scissors combat based on wind-up and recovery frames. At least, I get completely wrecked and can't do anything like when I try to play fighting games, so that's what I'm assuming is happening!

I have been playing The Witness off and on for almost six months. In terms of normal puzzles all I have left is the challenge. But even though I have kept myself to a Dark Souls-level of avoiding spoilers (which I only fell down on twice) I think I am going to use a guide for those, if I even do them at all. There were a couple of cool environmental ones but hidden-object-game stuff is not as enticing to me

Controller is fine, most of your gameplay is moving a pointer through a grid and you can lie down on a couch easily while playing it. However some way to take screenshots of your screen is really helpful

LawfulWaffle posted:I took a peek into the long-term investing thread to see how I could do more today to help out future me, and god drat it's like I jumped into the DotA2 thread right after a major patch. Just streams of acronyms I don't understand and percentiles that don't make sense that make me want to close the door and pretend I didn't see anything. I need a "Popular Portfolio Builds for Level 30 Idiots" article or something, likely followed by a "Respeccing After A Market Crash" article. If your workplace has employer-matching 401k, max that out. If you don't have that or want to save more, park as much money as you can in an IRA (Traditional or Roth will be better depending on your long-term income curve). An index fund like Vanguard's is your best bet for set-it-and-forget-it investment as they will automatically diversify your risk while also having the lowest fees, which is where people lose the most anyway

Yeah those apps are good for people who can't get themselves to save because it does it automatically, but if you are committed to putting money away and have the leeway, might as well try to minimize the middleman and deposit it in big chunks. Acorns makes it money through fees just like any other investment firm, and also probably from taking advantage of those pennies before they get officially invested for you. If you are a government employee you are probably in the Thrift Savings Program, which is basically the same as any private 401(k) except you pay less in expenses. You can have an IRA on top of that. Also if you are having a child you may want to look into the various savings programs like a Coverdell ESA or 529. The difference between a Traditional and Roth IRA is when you get taxed. In a traditional, any money you sock away is not taxed, meaning that lowers your taxable income now. However when you withdraw it down the line, it will be taxable income. With a Roth IRA you do not lower your current taxable income, but withdrawals in the future are not taxed. CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 15, 2017 |
