Hozz

Put down the crack pipe. No way in hell Stafford gets into the Hall with just one Super Bowl win. He's like a .500 QB.

I saw this CJRB Scoria on a YouTube video about best budget knives and I liked the look of it enough to get it. It's some kind of powder formed steel with black DLC that has a questionable pedigree, but nice Micarta scales. Overall dimensions are perfect for my ideal carry knife. I paid $70 delivered so I am not sure that qualifies as budget but I like the knife.

I was not familiar with Civivi until looking them up after your post. I had heard of We Knife but ignored them because China. I am a total sucker for Damascus and Damasteel though, love flippers as well as Micarta so I bought this one and love it. Button lock also turned out to be a plus, my first one. Anyway I went on a spree and bought five other Damascus Civivi's. This one turned out to be one of my favorites out of the six. Early thoughts on the other five: Pintail in Damascus/Wood. I knew this was small but its just too small for me to carry and use. Very nice though. I love the blade geometry and the wood scales are amazing for the price point. I would love this knife in like a 3.5" blade and 4.5" handle. As it stands I'm going to give it to my grandson, its a good size for a kid. Mini Asticus in Damascus/Wood. This is about as small as I can go. 3.25" blade ~4" handle. Again, the scales are crazy good for the price point. I like this knife enough to keep it but if it was not Damascus, I wouldn't. Elementum in Damascus/Carbon Fiber. I thought I would like this more than I did. I debated returning it. Button lock, which again is new to me but I like a lot. However unlike the Cogent it's not an assisted flipper. Not a huge deal as the action is great and it flips open and closed easily but when I bought it I thought it had a flipper and I would not have bought it if I knew it wasn't. I don't love the scales, they are slippery. Looks nice though. Praxis in Damascus/Copper. This is a beast. I've never had anything with copper scales and this motherfucker is heavy. Like, way too heavy to pocket carry in gym shorts which is my default outfit. That said it is a very good looking knife and I put it on display even though I will likely never use or carry it. Riffle in Damascus/Wood. This is my favorite out of the six. I love the cutout on the blade. The scales, like the other wood Civivi's, are perfect. Handle length is perfect for me.

We are half way through S3 and it's still great. Barry has become one of my all time favorite sit com characters. Ironically, considering there would be no show without the real life dude, Adam is my least favorite character.

McBain!

Full disclosure I ordered one after binging all the Jack Carr Terminal List books. Was a 16-20 week lead time around Thanksgiving. I went maple and no spike since I am unlikely to go on a successful globe hopping vengeance fueled rampage. Regretting it now though since it looks so cool/unique.

Ok so I played the fuck out of this over the last 6 weeks or so and did all the quest arcs except for Paris, which I started but am very early in and kind of burned out on the game at this point. I ordered Ragnarok but really am not looking forward to it as the Asgard/Jotunheim arcs were my least favorite in Valhalla and the whole absorb their powers shit looks gimmicky to me and I didn't really use but a fraction of the abilities in Valhalla anyway. I almost never used the ranged ones and used the same 4 melee ones for the whole game. Anyway, I am going to start up Origins or Odyssey. For those who have played both, which order would you play them in? I am thinking Origins then Odyssey...it seems the slight consensus internet opinion is that Odyssey is the best of these three, and I would not want to play Valhalla, Odyssey and then Origins if Origins would then feel like a let down. Also, for me personally, I would be shocked if I like either of the other two as much as I liked Valhalla. I fucking loved it and haven't cracked out on a game like this since Ghost of Tsushima and then Witcher 3 before that.

Yeah. I am generally not hard on my knives and I would hesitate to even call this prying, although technically sure it was. If I didn't have the knife on me I would have used a flat head or even a butter knife. As I was doing it, I was worried about the key fob plastic getting damaged, not the knife blade.

I somehow broke off the tiniest little bit of the tip on a Benchmade Arcane (s90) popping off the back of a plastic car key fob while replacing the battery. Maddening.

https://knifesteelnerds.com/2021/10/19/knife-steels-rated-by-a-metallurgist-toughness-edge-retention-and-corrosion-resistance/ D2 is fine because its cheap and easily sharpened, that's its niche. But there are better options. As far as corrosion, unless you are literally on the water, just taking 30 seconds to oil your knife after you used it on anything remotely acidic will keep it from rusting.

Benchmade Adamas maybe. Handle might be too thick for what you are looking for but I wouldn't call it clunky. Mini Adamas is great too but blade length is Bugout like.

I ran Witcher 3 on a first gen i5. Graphics card at the time was I think a 970. It ran great at 1080P. Echo the Mass Effect rec. One of the greatest franchises in RPG gaming.

I would definitely get the X over the S.

Wasteland 3 is a hell of a game. Similar vibe to the new Fallouts but more like Fallout 1/2.

I really like the Pintail in the Damascus/Wood but its just a little bit small for me. Same with the Odium, which I think looks even better but is even smaller.

None of his shit crosses a line for me. I like to think I don't have one when it comes to comedy, but I imagine a lot of his Curb stuff is too much for some people.

The last one was so good. I was never a giant fan of the franchise even though I got them all, I had never finished one before the last one. RDR is their best franchise. I'd love to see them do an RPG in a more traditional RPG setting. I'm sure it would be epic.

So is this just the next Dark Souls game? Because put me in the camp that hated it. Puzzle game masquerading as an ARPG? Pass. Single player game with no pause? Haha. Fuck you.

We watched the first two and I think its great. Never read the books, did see the Cruise movies. I'm surprised the main guy has not been in more stuff.

This is a huge scam right?

I ended up getting a Zotac 3060 Ti that released in December 2020 for $400 which now has an MSRP of $670 for $710 from some place called B&H Foto and Electronics. Yay...

Ain't nobody playing no dong pong in here.

Dickerson was on the Russillo podcast talking about aggy and said he was never going to go there because of the male cheerleaders.

I thought this one kind of sucked.
