  • Idk about the pills, but my wife has been on the shot since last year and it was $25 a month on my particular insurance plan in the US. This year insurance got worse and plan cost went up drastically. I now pay $50 a month, although we recently changed to get a 3 month supply and that came to $100 for the 3 months. Sounds ok i guess, but my insurance alone costs like $1400 a month or almost $17k a year… i would much rather pay $150 a month and save the 17k a year.




  • Seeing some of the other companies they compared it to just makes them look even worse… it just means other companies will see this as a way to offer less as well. Gotta meet those industry standards!

    Also if you take the severance doesn’t that mean you forfit unemployment? This package is so bad if you only been there a year that i would probably say screw them and take that instead, even if its less than my pay it will definitely be more over the 6 months it’s allowed which is what i thought was one of the main reasons they offer these so the company can avoid the higher rate of contribution to unemployment if enough people claim it.






  • Damn… so true.

    Over the course of 15+ years I used to host a weekly poker game when i was in my 20’s, then it became biweekly, and then monthly as i got older and moved a bit further from my friend group (not really that far, but far enough where weekday game was no longer an option for them). I realized i haven’t had a game in several years now just due to life and having kids and this comic is exactly something I have said out loud before. It’s also been so long that I said im gonna need to set the next date over a month away just to give myself that long to take care of the mess from not having people over for so long.





  • I was expecting the worst from the comments here, but what I saw looked really good. Lighting has always been the one thing games have struggled with and ray tracing was a nice step in the right direction but we know its just to taxing on hardware and even 5 years later still not to much better. Offering new ways to bring high quality lighting to scenes really does make scenes stand out. It really works well with cracks like when they showed cobblestone paths each stone looks like its own unique step now and everything looks pronounced.

    I have been following Crimson Desert for a bit and the new videos that came out highlight just how much better landscapes and rooms are using the highest settings which include realistic lighting and not only looks insane but they found ways to make it less taxing on the system as well. Although it’s different from what this is offering I do believe this will be the focus of the industry for the forseeable future.

    I am not sure why there is so much hate.








  • That was me. Around 2009 I remember first hearing about it and trying to buy it and quickly realizing it wasnt that easy and seemed sketcky so i just said whatever… i wonder what I would have done if I did.

    My 18 was also way before (2000) this so i hope i remember it for that long. And honestly life was good up until 2009 so i wouldnt really change any of that anyway. 2009 on could have used some improvements…
