My guess would be PSU also. Possibly mobo, but PSU seems more likely.

It's been confirmed that the Pathfinder mission launched the same year as the end of ME2, 1 year before the Reaper invasion.

Is it available for streaming anywhere?

We were taught 10-2, so even if there's different advice now it's certainly plausible that someone would be driving that way, even someone trying to drive carefully. My typical hand position is 6 and the armrest.

Isn't 10-2 the "proper" way to hold the steering wheel?

Dean jumping the gun with his wishlist post.

Yeah, I've heard the campaign is amazing, but it's only 5 hours long. I'll wait until it's on Origin Access in two months.

And I also need to keep reminding myself that like 30 million people have already voted and exit polls have Clinton double digits ahead among those people.

Yeah, and I've been watching the NYT predictions that have her at 84% (which is still 9 points lower than a week ago) but I can't shake the fear that I'm just falling for this mass delusion and he really will win.

Oh holy fuck

Luckily I have no illusions I would ever get good enough to do something like that.

It's that time of year again. The last couple of years we've had a fairly short signup window, so this year I thought I'd give everybody basically the whole month of November. If you want to be part of the fun just post in this thread. Rules: Digital gifts only, typically Steam since it's the easiest to mess around with wishlists and gifting on. Other services/gift cards are fine though. Make sure your Steam wishlist/other wishlists are up to date. Suggested price of $10, though under or over is not against the rules. What this means is, don't expect a $60 gift--if your Santa gets you a $5 gift that's on your wishlist, that's all he's required to do. But if you're feeling ultra-rich or ultra-generous, we won't thumb our noses at higher priced presents. Multiple gifts are fine. Gifting period will officially commence alongside the Steam Winter Sale, which I believe is supposed to begin December 22 this year. You can gift earlier though if you find a killer deal. Gifting deadline will be on or around the end of the Steam sale. If you don't get your gift by then, message me. No brand new members (signing up after this message) unless I or another mod approves you. Deadline to sign up is Monday, November 30. I'll message everybody their targets in the AM (GMT -6) of the 1st. Have fun!

As of right now they're still pretending this isn't a replacement for the 3DS. Really they're just hedging their bets, if the Switch takes off then they'll discontinue the 3DS with no replacement.

Yeah, to continue with H2G2: "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

There is no canon ending, that's the point of having the Andromeda mission launch before ME3: so you don't have to worry about what happened with that. The effects were pretty instantaneous within the galaxy because they were traveling through the relay network, but the network doesn't extend beyond our own galaxy so any effect or information about it would be limited to the speed of light from there. Andromeda is 2.5 million lightyears away, so it will be 2.5 million years before anything that happened in ME3 can affect the Andromeda people (assuming they don't send another ship back, but even then it's a 1200 year round trip so it's gonna be a while).

I have no faith in Ninty, as much as I want to. I just really like their idea for the console. I'm coming off the release hype, and back to my original plan of just getting Zelda for the Wii U and upgrading my PC instead.

Right.

Both. Everything we know suggests that the ship actually departed before ME3, but then the events of Andromeda will be 600 years later.

Libertarians are scary psycho crazy. I would vote for a Republican (except Trump) over a Libertarian.

They announced months ago they were ending Wii U production this year.

At least his *enthusiastic* supporters only make up a small portion of his total supporters. Most of his supporters are highly reluctant. I've even heard people say they're only voting for him cause they know he'll get himself impeached and they want Pence as president (which is colossally stupid, but there you are).

I feel like my subjective reaction will be different with the xenomorph for some reason, though I can't articulate why. Probably because it's supposed to be this horrible terrifying overpowering monster, and it's the reason I'm playing the game, whereas the humans feel more like irritating obstacles between me and the game I want to play. But yeah, I'm not going to force myself to keep going if I'm not feeling it, I just want to give it one more shot to hook me.

Alien: Isolation. I'm about 2 hours in now and I'm not sure I'm digging it. The atmosphere is great, and the Sevastapol station is amazingly designed, but I'm not liking the way the encounters with human enemies are set up. It seems like you're supposed to play it as a stealth game (since they have guns and I have a wrench), but you don't have the ability to track their location very effectively which makes it more frustrating than I would prefer. I'm going to give it another shot tonight, but if it doesn't snag me I think I'm done. Which sucks because the xenomorph was just introduced and I haven't even had an proper encounters with it yet.
