    Street Fighter (2026)

    I hold this to the same bar I held the MK movie to. Does it realize what it is? Does it attempt to be the epitome of what it is? This should not be a high bar looking at the cast and trailers. What do I want to see? People fighting, Chun-li whipping ass, and innocent background cars getting...

    Yeah, it definitely doesn't work well for your long term "lifelong" strategy. In my case I'm only considering it this late as a way to help shave a little off the tax portion of what I'm going to owe diversifying out of a large overly-concentrated position.

    That's part of the structure. I'm not buying a "fund". I am funding an account, then within that account their people buy all the individual stocks , buying and selling actual individual shares, and weaving around wash sale rules. So I don't own $100k of <fund>, I own $100k of individual...

    I agree, which is why I'm digging through their stuff right now. Just didn't know if anybody else was leveraging this strategy... Seems it's called "tax-loss harvesting via direct indexing". They manage an account and inside it they individually invest in a mix of stocks approximating an...

    So once again I come for an opinion from those who are deeper on these stock strategy topics than I am.. I have been working with an actual professional financial planner and they brought up one tool they wanted to talk about that made my "something seems fucky here" sense go off. A managed...

    So.. As some of you may have surmised from my "Which one of you weebs is this" post earlier this weekend, @Mrs. Haus and I were in San Antonio to get a few days away and parouse an anime/gaming convention on top of just day drinking and meandering around... But it turned into a more religious...

    There's also the problem that is got lazy to the point of being absolutely formulaic in the later seasons. The core "procedural " aspect of the show was on rails... I've got a fully infographic on it somewhere at home, but i'm not at home at the moment. With all this said, I did enjoy my...

    Okay, which one do you weebs is this? Not going to lie though, I was expecting this car show and wrap show at an anime convention to be a whole bunch of little rice burning nonsense cars, and there's a shocking number of very nice BMWs and Porsches that have ridiculous waifu wraps on them

    So it's apparently gotten out that the new Magneto in the new movie won't have the holocaust backstory. And the internet is taking it exactly as you'd expect it to. My edgelord response was "Make him Palestinian" But in reality, I think they could just use it to subtly introduce one of the...

    OK. The top line news. The Stars published their "feature nights" calendar for all the special games, and are not doing or participating in any form of Pride night. Needless to say some people are pouty about this, but someone has the right response.

    Many a weekend night for me in the mid to late 80's was spent hitting one of the two local RHPS shows (there were three for a VERY short time). Lived in an apartment next door to some folks who were in cast at one of them. Very fun folks.

    So I am of two minds on this one... First, with as many times as finding my squirrely veins has been an adventure that ended up with me having multiple jabs, multiple locations, and a lot of pain I welcome an accurate technological solution. But on the other hand, will I trust this shit...

    No, it was sitting down on the console, so not in the full Texas sun. (i.e. August in Texas). And the Waze+stream+occasional zoom combo platter is my usual modus operandi when I'm on the road for work. Which is why this time was kinda jarring. But like I said, it's a 6 year old phone...
