Looks cheesy as hell, but let's be honest, the whole series starting with S1 has been kind of silly. It has still managed to be a fun watch though, mainly because the show doesn't take itself seriously at all. I'll watch. 🤷‍♂️

SCOTUS just struck down Chevron. Wow. Big crypto implications. Edit:

Sigh. Matt Gaetz isn't some pro government agent trying to help the feds steal your bitcoin. He's just pandering to the crypto lobby and doing a shitty job of it.

I don't really get the gimmick. I guess he's just appealing to the crypto lobby, which has actually become pretty potent lately. If you read the comments to that tweet though, it's pretty clear most of the crypto people aren't impressed and the anti-crypto people are disgusted. Doesn't seem to...

Kind of funny hearing how many people were blown away. I've been sitting here for 25 years assuming everyone had the same "meh" experience that I did when it came to the initial look/feel of EQ. Now I'm going to have to go back and talk to my friends to see if maybe I'm misremembering and they...

Ya, June or July 99. I missed the first few months. Definitely wasn't blown away. None of the small group of RL friends I played with were. But like I said it was my first mmo. I was coming from single player games that all looked and played as good (in some cases better) than EQ. If you'd...

For sure, but the trauma was part of the fun. Victory only tasted so sweet because failure was so fucking awful.

The size/scope of the game was pretty damn impressive, I'll grant you that. And being in a game world at the same time as thousands of other people was totally new to me (I never played UO) and awesome. But what I meant was the visuals/gameplay. Compared to other games I was playing in 1999...

TBH I don't know anyone personally who was immediately blown away on logging into EQ for the first time. The game's fun kind of crept up on you if you were patient enough to give it a chance. EQ didn't really get good until you got good- which I liked. If M&M can capture that feeling I'm sure...

For those who have played it- this game fun to play? Too early to tell? Does it feel like EQ? Early impressions?

Movie had a bit of an identity crisis. Seemed like it didn't know if it wanted to be a comedy, a drama, a romance, or a think piece about the psychology of identity. Unlike a lot of genre-bending movies, instead of blending the genres together, this movie somehow kept them separate and just...

Don't disagree. Others in this thread would disagree, but I personally don't think it will ever be a currency (as such). So far, it's been a super lucrative but volatile investment and people are beginning to realize that it's one of the best stores of value in the world. Most people would...

I agree it's still mostly a speculative investment, but 1 USD has been less valuable than 1 BTC since 2011. Even if you want to use a different formula than a simple 1:1 comparison, there isn't any question that the buying power of the dollar has dropped drastically in that time and the buying...

Lots of stuff, I'm sure. Depression, anxiety, obesity, loneliness. Birth rates are down pretty much globally. I've read some pretty good theories that 2007 was the beginning of the end for this iteration of civilization. We've been in a steady decline since. It's a funny chart, but you...

Anyone playing this? Is it playable? Fun? Someone give me a fair but critical review

Looks really cool, but I know I'd hate it. I used to love city build/rts combat games but I've grown really bored with super tedious mechanics when it comes to the building/management of territories. I don't mind making big, sweeping decisions about the direction/development of my faction, but...

The 80s were absolutely filled with movies where anyone in the industry with talent in other decades would have skimmed through the script, laughed and said "I'm not attaching my name to this garbage." But for some reason that didn't happen in the 80s, and as a result we got a ton of amazing...

Hahaha. Tarantino is going to be so neurotic about how absolutely fucking amazing his last movie ever has to be that it will never get made.

Yeah Apple is solid. I keep trying to cancel my sub but they keep coming out with stuff that makes it worth sticking. I hate having a bunch of subs so I get pretty ruthless when it comes to culling any sub that isn't providing me a clear, worthwhile benefit. Apple hasn't made the cut list yet.

Wait, this is a joke right? They didn't really change in game names because someone's GF got upset right? Refuse to believe this is accurate

Sounds like you timed it well, congrats. I've been delaying, which I knew was risky based on macro stuff that has pretty clearly been careening towards an event like this. I've been up big since Jan but I've been trying to stretch it out long enough to avoid cap gains. If this storm ends up...

everyone might want to plan on holding their crypto for a while, unless you fancy a loss

When crypto corrects it doesn't correct by 5%, it corrects by 15-20%.

https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/04/10/sec-moves-to-sue-uniswap-in-bid-to-hobble-fast-growing-defi-sector/ This is going to be interesting. One of the biggest things holding Defi back has been the fear of regulation. Specifically, that the SEC would bring the hammer down on Defi and completely...

Hard to complain about a show this well done, but they are cutting out some of the best parts in the book involving Blackthorne.

Was looking forward to this coming out but then read a well-written review that made it seem pretty bad. Probably going to give it a shot anyway. Farrell is a gem. Still don't think he gets the acting cred he deserves.

Yeah... kind of annoying though. I worked hard to get a ps5 when they were still pretty hard to come by and mine has mostly been collecting dust- outside of a few occasions like when I played ER. I'm mainly a PC gamer but it's nice to be able to just chill on the couch with a controller...

Hahaha you guys realize you're never going to convince Flobee NFTs have value, right? Acknowledging that would mean acknowledging that ETH and some other "shitcoins" may have value. And to BTC maxis that's literal heresy.

Yes, this is the nature of power and governments. It's also why the bitcoin utopia that bitcoin "true believers" envision is never going to happen. It has nothing to do with bitcoin (which is great) and everything to do with how humans behave, especially in groups, which is usually shity. The...

I said this years ago now, but p99 should just have the servers on a cycle. Starting with the current set up they need to: Step 1- Merge green with blue. Step 2- Open a brand new green server. Wait 3 years and then start over with Step 1. Rinse and repeat as long as they keep p99 going...

You stand by your incorrect call?

I remember when you posted that. You realize BTC went up something like 20k in the weeks after you posted right?

Memecoins can stay solvent longer than you can stay rational.

Worth watching even if you don't care about Japanese history. If you do, it's a must see.

Listened to an interview with the show runners. They apparently used a really complicated process that involved first translating the English script to modern Japanese, then having an Edo Era specialist in Japan (who doesn't even speak English) translate the modern Japanese to Edo Era. And...

Jail scene in the book was definitely a lot longer/more significant. So in that way the first series was closer. But the book also spent plenty of time on Toranaga and several of the other non-Blackthorne characters. Current series has been tracking the book pretty well so far imo. In some...
