Active ignore vs. Passive ignore.

I have been tempted in my brief time here to actively ignore a few posters but I have refrained. Reading all of the bile in some recent threads I think it is time to reconsider. Perhaps an active ignore list can help. I can't find value in an echo chamber but I cannot find value in engaging cantankerous trolls that seem to exist only to argue without merit. That's not really arguing at all. How do you handle it?

I try not to mind people grinnin' in my face but good gravy some here are insufferable.

Are you better off economically than your parents were at this point in your life?

I've seen this talking point come and go and if someone has done a recent poll on here about it, I apologize for being redundant.

I've tried to categorize best I can, vote if you like please!

I broke the age categories down to 18-25, 25-40 and over 40 because I think that once you are past 40 you should have a pretty good idea of where you will end up economically.

Please vote according to your current situation and likely outcomes of your future. You could win the lottery or come down with an illness that ruins you but I am trying to get a pulse of your feelings as they are.


I am new to Democratic Underground, this is my first poll - hope I didn't mess it up too much.

Thank you!

BTW - I am option 9 for those that are interested.

PS4 PS Plus owners - The PS Plus version of Drive club comes out tomorrow.

Anyone have the full retail version? We were promised this game months ago and I am happy to see it finally make its way out. I skipped over the retail version on the promise that we'd get a fully playable version of it for free. I see my patience has paid off but I am curious as to how the retail version is.

PS4 could use a good racer, I also hear that Project Cars is pretty good, anyone have any thoughts?

I've finally completed The Witcher 3 and I am still in awe of this game.

Anyone else? I wouldn't mind talking about some of others choices and thoughts about their play through. It might get spoiler heavy if we do but I think we can mark posts accordingly.

Now, I am either going to go through it again or try to get back into Pillars of Eternity.

Steam summer sale is happening now.

It started yesterday and yesterdays big deals are still available.

I started a discussion about the excellent Witcher 3 and it is 10% off right now ($53.99). You can pick up the fantastic first two games for $1.49 for the first (a down right steal at this price - playable on most laptops and PCs nowadays even without a dedicated graphics card) and $2.99 for the second game (also highly playable on modern PCs but you'll need a decent rig to run it well). The prices and deals during a Steam sale are legendary in the gaming world. My wallet hates these things!

Anyone playing the Witcher 3?

I am absolutely enthralled with this installment. I played the first two on PC and then shifted to the PS4 (wanted to sit on my couch and play). It's fantastic!

It also has one of the best in game games ever with a card game called Gwent - surprisingly fun and deep for an inside game.

I am just curious if others are playing and what they think.

Hello DU people!

I was encouraged to type this from the email I received for my staggering 10 post milestone.

Not much to tell really, I live in the NW, love music, liberal-minded people and I joined up to participate here for the upcoming election. I am a big Bernie Sanders fan and supporter!

Thanks for having me!
