Yeah i think Better Call Saul is one of the best shows ever written, at least among the shows i've watched. I'm not the only one:
I need to return to Mr Robot, but I'm waaay back, I watched a couple episodes of S2 last year and never continued.
Suggestions: You could try Startup (Amazon at least in UK), I liked S3 the best I think. I only watched a couple episodes and always wanted to go back to Halt and Catch Fire, to stay on the IT theme. For the crime genre, have you watched Ozark? New season in a few days. There's The Outsider I'm watching atm, it's from Stephen King.

Ahye, just watching those play throughs they released as teasers were making me want to do stuff and m making me wonder about pushing the old engine more
Yeah @[HP], the rate doubles or almost doubles super quickly.
In italy they are now talking of not allowing to leave your municipality and to also put a stop to joggers/runners – because of course not all are responsible (plus seen with hate by those who would never think of running in normal conditions).
In UK parks are still open but BoJo implies they will have to close if people don’t behave, which the fuckers they won’t. So glad we moved last year in a house and have a bit of garden.
Worried about the internet collapsing. The world will go crazy in two days.
~ they finally announced in my office that we’ll go home as of today, work from home for those involved in e-commerce (phew, for the immediate I should be fine) and the others will be put on the redundancy list to access the government’s grant to cover salaries.
Fuck, I have the house contract rebewing this month, as well as the internet provider and gas+electric, for the internet and gas I wanted to change providers but now doesn’t seem doable, who the fuck will come set it up?
Videogames are an essential good. This is a great recognisant that comes from … GameStop ? WTAF

You can be critical of something, yet still enjoy it. It's one hell of a fun game, even with it's problems. imho.
Yeah but from what you’re saying this is far from “potentially the best shooter ever” and other pompous quotes from the press that they put in their trailer. I haven’t read or watched reviews but titles that come up seem positive to me. I feel that preview from Gmanlives was a total sellout since it’s one of the reasons why I was feeling so hyped and tempted to get it… as usual I’ve done well not D1
Quote from Erratic11 hours ago, Erratic said: Combat can get a bit sloppy, at least on ultra violence, and yeah the upgrade stuff is over done. What is it, 4 different upgrade tokens, I think I only just now after 6 hours got a handle on what each of them is for. It's also lot of marginal situational upgrade stuff that isn't really exciting, just a small bonus attached to some occasional event. I tend to forget about most of the weapon mods too. Levels are also not quite as labyrinthine as Doom 2016 but I could be misremembering.
It's good fun otherwise. I'm not crazy about some of the environments that don't really feel "DOOM"ish but I get they probably need to go somewhere else with it. Earth is cool at least.
I remember being like that already in 2016, I pretty much used always the same attachments throughout the game, except when you would encounter an enemy that would be more susceptible to a certain attack

Denial and shift blaming.
It’s baffling, Trump would have most likely won the election, but underplaying this he pretty much threw it away. Maybe he was tired of winning.
What's all the commotion for @[HP]?

Some #coronavirus data?? 4,014 infected, 178 deaths in less than 2 months (cf. ?? 8,652 infected, 100 deaths in over 3 months)?? 6 ICUs per 100k citizens (cf. ?? 12.5)?? 25k tests per day on 67.2 million citizens (cf. ?? (one region) 11k for 4.9 million citizens)
Does the below look like chaos? How will the NHS cope with less than half the Intensive Care beds available to the three EU countries with most cases?
Does it have an headphone jack? ?
I feel asleep whilst watching ? baby woke me at 4:30, changed the nappy, gave her a bottle, went back downstairs and watched John Wick 3, since I kept falling asleep 20 min in, the previous nights ?
Ps: fucking auto correct
Quote from ics14 hours ago, ics said: They've been there for over 2 years now. CEO and some other guy sold a lot of stocks before Control sales were announced that was kind of big deal around here. Using sort of private information to make money out of it. Looking back, i guess going as publicly traded company was good for the company. They seem to be doing pretty well.
Wait a sec, I was under the impression Control did well, is it the contrary?
Because only if sales were bad the shares were best sold before announcing.

Yeah but I mean, he’s not a gaming personality or expert by any mean, so… I think it’s interesting to see the personal side of a game personality. Surely wasn’t informative, but was entertaining at times.
Also the “i was an artist on a Mac [so I couldn’t play I’d software games]” is a poor excuse on Hugo’s part ? Id were among the first to distribute cross platform, plus Carmack used Apple computers to code at the beginning I’m pretty sure, at least the Next.

What has Valve done that is NOT in reaction to some event outside of the games themselves lately. They've released 2 dead-on-launch mobile games in reaction to a game genre becoming popular. Barney didn't say any of his cringy one-liners in his spin off title, but now we have to get a modern character with very similiar personality and role screaming obnoxious one-liners and upgrading her excalibur's stats at the nearest shrine while being showered with unearned praise and witty humor after every action to prevent boredom.
Hey you guys work it out, you are the ones with opposite opinions 
More seriously: they have a VR hardware business they pretty much paved the way for. (The big commercial turnaround for Oculus arrived after the Valve VR people moved over there.) Of course they have Steam that keeps chugging along, they've done some that could be seen a response to Epic, but we know they are slow on everything and they were actually criticised for not responding to Epic, instead/in fact they have worked and shipped new features that make the Steam experience richer than the competition (play anywhere).

Canada closed its borders today to anyone that is not a Canadian citizen, Permanent Resident or (strangely) a US citizen. This is far from over I think but at least with the majority of people staying home maybe there is a chance we can regain control of the situation. Stay strong frens. ❤️
My thought when thinking of Canada is that should be easier to contain, apart from the big cities the population is so spread apart that you are already "self-isolated". I was just thinking of the 2hrs drive every morning i was doing to get into Jasper...

We are gearing for home working, we can only hold on the hope that we have ecommerce business and that should survive much more easily than the clinics. Who's gonna want to go out and have their lips jacked up or their hair pubes removed. They are looking at a 18 months semi-closure so surely they are gonna have to close clinics unless the government suspends or finds a way to mitigate mortgages and rents.
Our company was sold in January just before the virus started spreading, the previous owners (some didn't even want to sell) must feel like they've won the jackpot.
Quote from RaduOn 3/15/2020 at 1:07 PM, Radu said: I just played through Kane & Lynch: Dead Men because I heard what a terrible game it is and wanted to check for myself. Well, they weren't wrong. The shooting, AI and combat encounters are absolute dog shieet. However, I enjoyed going through some of the locations. The level artists did a really good job with most of the places. And yes, I'm gonna play through the second one now..
I played them too, just because fanboy of IO and @Mazy’s work.
I remember finding very weird ending in Central America during the first one.
Dog Days was really eye-catching with the glitch-style art. It was overall better from what I remember in terms of controls, but still clunky… after all is not like Hitman ever had great control feedback until Absolution with the new engine.
It was a shame the game didn’t have enough following because the cops & robbers multiplayer mode would be a very fun one imo, I played several hours with bots and already found it decent.
Yep, found all that amusing as well @fewseb. That being said, they just need to post videos to monetise, I don’t believe this guy believes in CSGO’s demise, apparently he’s a legitimate Faze fan…
We can only speculate on the other choices they’ve done, player skins and batte royale on the other hand do seem very reactive choices in strategy.
