“Took some, gave more” is a pretty baller line.

I don’t think there is a James Bond origin story. So it would be original and not a reboot.

And usually just take pictures of things at work as a note taking method.

I don’t know the physics behind it, or if it’s even true (could just be a placebo effect), but if you scrunch the paper there is less streaking on the clean up.

Sure. But the folks who put the knowledge in a digestible format should be rewarded for their efforts.

Babylon 5 had wizards.

Train to Busan. By a mile. Best zombie movie hands down. I’ll die on this hill.

Honourable mentions:

OG Dawn of the Dead is special and will always hold a top spot.

28 Days Later & 28 Weeks are both top notch.

And I’ll catch heat for this, but World War Z is an excellent zombie movie. And I say that as a fan of the book who is disappointed we didn’t get a faithful adaptation. But if you take the movie as a stand alone, unaffiliated, zombie flick, it’s better than just good.

From my quick search and bad memory, it can be played solo, but it looks like combat requires a group to enable all the feats and abilities. Doesn’t look like they’re implementing a solo build that can do it without some serious grind. But I’m sure someone will game out a solution.

I will probably still take it for a quick spin if the reviews are good, but as an old dude who can’t dedicate time to MMOs to be good at them, I’d just rather all games be made to suit my particular tastes. /s

Shame it’s an MMO. Looks pretty though.

Damn. I was only on season 4 of Stargate.

Still, the seas are wide and free. Yo ho ho my friends.

Hey he’s not exactly wrong. The company who can release humanoid automatons would very likely be the richest company in the world. Exponentially richer.

But I’ve seen what comes out of Tesla. I’m not betting that will be the company that does it.

Your reasoning is solid, but I’m not sure I’d trust someone who steals and bribes to honour their word.

Shit like this is why I always demand full payment up front. It’s just a shame I have no influence to garner bribes.

I’d estimate that 90%+ of us would be dead in a matter of months if not weeks.

Consider the significant lack of food available. Think about how much food the average person has in their house. Probably a week, maybe two. Perhaps a month if you’re wise and start rationing immediately. But most won’t. Most people would be in denial at the start and assume someone or something would rescue us.

Now consider how much food there is available at your local grocery store. And how many people that store could feed. Compare that to the population of the geographic area that store supports and you’ll see that for the most part we would be out of food in a matter of months.

Sure we could scavenge and perhaps hunt small game, but that’s limited and not something most people could do. But to get to a point where we’re actually able to do some level of substance farming, that could take up to a year to complete depending on the season society collapses. Before we get there most of us would have staved to death. Probably too many would die and there wouldn’t be enough labour to work the farms either.

And that’s just considering food. There’s still the issue of clean potable water, and infections or other health issues that turn deadly quickly without modern medical intervention.

And these issues are all compounded if you live in a high density urban environment. Which many do.

TLDR: if society collapses, it might be wise to just bow out before things get really bad.

Although you should be using an RFID blocking case to hold your cards.

Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

As others say…. Multiple monitors for work. One big ultra wide for gaming.

My only “complaint” about ultra wide is that most gaming ui’s aren’t configured for them. Meaning that to look at the mini map in a game like Cyberpunk, you have to take your eyes off the centre of the screen. Then you will crash your car.

This is a decent and fun 4X game. Definitely worth the new price if you enjoy those games.

In penny’s please. I’ll let you pay for shipping. :)

I’ll take that bet.

How would you like to pay me?

Yup. I was willing to watch one or two short ads before I watch a video, but the mid rolls and unskippable 30+second ads just made me say “well that’s enough of that”. Now I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a long time.
