Today an announcement was made, and the first of my friends is pregnant.
Welcome to the club. Expect them every couple of months now.

I probably shouldn't say this in a thread about feminism, but guys need to quit being such pussies & running away at the first sign of a challenge.
Kind of like Saveal ran off to another portion of the world in which his problems with women would be easier based on a cultural, gender stereotype? LOL!

Ah, but we're using feminist shaming tactics against Alphas to try to discredit him. Don't forget that!
...meanwhile he uses the same tactics, but it's okay and/or different...

Maybe she wasn't around much? Depending on the circumstances, you can't blame her.
If he wasn't such an *** on here, I'd feel bad for him.
Well, of course, I just don't understand when you two and most people I know IRL who were raised in single-parent homes are well adjusted, how someone like him comes along and blames women for every damn thing. I think you two have the normative experience.
You two had the advantage of a deep appreciation for your mother early on too. I didn't really appreciate my mom the way I do now until my twenties, even though there were rumblings of divorce between my parents through out my childhood that didn't come into fruition until I was on the cusp of thirty.
Knowing what I know now, I feel really shitty about siding with my dad when I had no comprehension of what long-term relationships/marriages entail as a kid/teen.

Not going into my own experiences in this vein lest they be used against me.
Bottom line is I've seen the best and worst of divorce in my own family and among my friends and their families.
The fecal vomit coming from their mouths about their fears of "zomg what I've worked for can't go to that ungrateful broad!" is just...pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Especially on the subject of child support. They're your kids. That money should have been going to them even if you *** stayed married.
It's worst-case scenario that happens on rare, rare occasion. It's like worry about another 9/11 instead of the bus driving down the wrong side of the road right at you.

By Ramyrez 2015-05-13 10:19:06
So, enough about bitching about people we're all pretty sure are full of ***and not worth our time.
How's things today, Ni?
Personally I'm excited for my Chinese Wednesdayâ„¢ ginger chicken and stringbeans before too long here. Have a road trip coming up this weekend then three four-day weeks in a row.
Very exciting.

Oh dame, I think I figured out why I was bleeding gold so bad on civ 5. I didn't understand that luxury resources & other improved tiles give you gold as well, so I was prioritizing road construction, with no money to pay for it, lol.
so I'm kind of a boob, is the moral of the story. Ah the road trap. In Civ III, build roads on every tile because they're free :D. Civ V on the other hand... dem roads. I only ever build direct routes from city to city, and even then I cringe at the bill lol.
But yeah, that will definitely do it, glad you fixed the issue. If you ever have any questions, I have a decent grasp on the game so feel free to hit me up.
Edit: I forgot to mention, when you connect a city to your capital via road or harbor, they get a gold and production boost. It isn't very well explained in the game.
Congrats to your buddyrina! It begins! According to old wives' tales, it happens in threes. Prepare yourself, Dougy! Does my brother/sister in law count as one? If so, only one left to go.
congrats
saw it coming?
:v
help you? not like it's yours..
...
not yours right?
/had to ask lol no, not mine. I would be drunk by now if it were.

You're a stronger man than me. I'm drunk even when my friends tell me they're having kids.
I figure I'm drinking their share since I'll probably never see them to go drinking with them ever *** again.

Roads drastically increase your profits between cities that have a traderoute. If you have at least 1 luxury resource then that covers the cost of pretty much all of your roads and then the more commerce buildings you make the more you profit.

I am intrigued by the trade route bit. Do you mean that let's say I'm trading with Germany, more specifically Berlin. If I build a road from my city to Berlin, will that increase trade route profit? Or do you mean intra-civ trading?

Traderoute math.
Gold output = (City population * 1.1) + (Capital population * 0.15) - 1
a city with 4 citizens produces 4.3 gold per turn, while a city with 5 citizens produces 5.4 gold per turn.
You only pay for roads inside your boarders. Any roads built in another players boarders goes to their tax and repair upkeep.
In my last game my average trade route was worth 34 gold per turn. I had 9 traderoutes active.
also I believe roads let your cities share resources? Like if you find Salt at cities #3, and you have a road conencting city 3, 2, 1 then city 2 and 1 also get salt.

new HDD came in Monday, been slowly uninstalling games and random stuff. need to finish my torrent list and backup all my files before I do a clean re-install, hopefully by fri-sat.
really getting tired of those random USB disconnects, mainly my headset and mouse, which makes games unplayable at times, especially if it kicks in in crucial times.
ocne this is fixed, i'd be up for some civ v

I did not know the math behind the trade routes, thank you for that. Adds some clarification.

My first game of Civ 5 I was bleeding gold like crazy because I was playing it like Civ 4. I lost within 2 hours.
Then I learned of the magic that is the trade route and all was happy in the land. I built an army of death robots and smote that *** Gandhi.

what kind of issues?
obligatory "have you tried turning it off and on again?" Friday I was playing CS:GO and my pc completely shut down. Turned out one of my fans somehow got unplugged, so I figured that was the case and turned down the graphics just in case.
Last night I booted up CS:GO, nothing happened. So I chalked it up to Valve/Steam bullshittery and fired it up again after making sure it was closed. It booted, and as soon as the beginning company credits finished, it went to black screen and my computer locked up. So I shut it down, booted up, and played CS:GO with no problems.
Then later last night, I was on Skype and playing LoL. We were in team select for a custom game, when all of a sudden I heard Skype close. I clicked on it to see what happened, then my screen went super crazy and pc shut down. When I booted it back up, it wanted me to insert boot media... so I shut it down and it started just fine.
This sounds like HDD or graphics card IMO (well the boot media issue not graphics). Graphics card should be fine, it's pretty new and I've had 0 problems. I'm going to double check all connections tonight and make sure my liquid cooling & fans are all functioning properly again. Maybe the HDD cable is just a tad loose, since I did move my pc for a mini-LAN on Friday.
Otherwise, I think the HDD may be faulty, or something.

hmm
checked power management? make sure it doesnt turn off when XXXX happens
make sure you have updates NOT on automatic, cause sometimes that makes a system reboot.
sure it is not overheating, or have the appropriate PSU juicing your system ?
also make sure the plugs on wiring arent broken on both ends.

Re-seat your videocard and ram and dust your case out with a leafblower (canned air works too...) and watch to see if the fan on your videocard is working. Half of those problems happened to me when the fan on one of my older cards stopped working.

also make sure the plugs on wiring arent broken on both ends. Power management and updates shouldn't insta-shut down like that, but I'll double check.
It shouldn't be overheating, but I want to double check all fans are functioning. I upgraded the PSU a couple years back so I should have enough juice, never had problems with old HDD. I'll check plugs again, didn't notice any on Friday when I had it opened but I also wasn't looking for that specifically.
I also can't verify windows because my multi-use key is at max. I used to get around that with the phone verification, but it won't give me that option anymore. I'm not actually over the usage amount but Micro$oft thinks I am :/

#JustHardwareTroubleshootingThings This is also why I hate it when people at work ask me, "This happened to my computer, why is that? What's wrong with it?"

The trouble with carpooling to the job is that two of the guys I'm with are gambling addicts. I rarely (basically never) go to casinos. "Uhh, you wanna stop at the casino on the way home?" Really? "Hell no, I don't find giving my money away fun I have stuff to pay and more enjoyable stuff at home to do that doesn't cost me a damn dime."
They spend hundreds of dollars a year at casinos, I bought Oblivion for $17 like 6 years ago and I'm pretty content playing that when I get home. I should just start driving myself.
EDIT: Also I'm covered in specks of concrete and I want to get home to take a shower.

the issue with my PC, as I mentioned, are the USB's
more specifically, the Mouse and Headset.
I doubt it is the MOBO, because I have switched USB ports on them multiple times.
Keyboard, External HDD, Gamepad seem unaffected, but then again, (asides E.HDD) have pauses between usage, so it might be harder to notice.
I do get the disconnect/reconnect sound every time it happens.
-hmm should check Logitech software-
also, havent been noticing lately, mainly cause i have payed more attention to my ps4 over pc, that I get some visual freezes in games, for like a second or less, then resumes and skips ahead to where it should be. this is extremely annoying, especially pairing it with the USB issue, when playing League or an FPS.
I know it is not the videocard, because I had the issue with my old one, and (while not as frequent) happens with the new one as well.
I did read it is partially the SSD fault, so here is hoping.

Bolded is key. It is what it is. A few hundred dollars is, at least, pretty insignificant (by comparison) to some addictions. As long as that money isn't the baby's checkup money or the gas bill or w/e...but still. =\

"I'm just taking $20 in there, it'll only take like 15 mins." Means "I'll stop at $50." Which usually takes 30-45 mins.

Might be an issue with those, as unlikely as it seems. Maybe they don't get along with your specific mouse/headset. Well I guess check those if your new HDD doesn't fix it lol.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
