    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I mean….let’s be honest, you can make a ton of NFTs and shit coins……until you can’t! People make millions off that shit, but you’ve got be in the circle most times and get out early so you’re not the one bag-holding

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    yes, but not entirely. another angle for bitcoin, as an official currency, is supply control and traceability. The government can’t just “print more bitcoin” and the concept and way treat debt would have to significantly change as well. It is not only about the government not turning off your...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    As a serious investment point, I agree that the trust behind a name like Fidelity does counter some of the “not my wallet” fear people have. I get crypto can be a battle, not just on the investment angle, but the true no government angle. Different discussion for a different day. ‘however I...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Not quite a pixel remaster question, maybe we should change the thread to all things FF? but another question in my quest to replay all FF 1 -> X(skipping 11 as it's online and I have tried it and I always come in and out of FFXIV the other online one). I learned from interwebs and this thread...

    We just did this in our private business and it’s the right move. It gives access to people who need it but prevents long term unrestricted abuse. I know discord is more “public” than what my company does, but I totally understand this move

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The main quest is a lot of talking and “postal service” as I call it, but the actual game is quite good. It’s basically a single player rpg story mixed with an online game. One thing I do love about it is that it seems like a callback to every single FF before it. obviously do what you want...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    depends actually. I bump in to people all the time but some zones are more dead than others. The OG zones tend to stay populated as do the last 1-2 expansions or any zone with lots of quests. Otherwise they are empty overall FFxiv does a way better job of keeping the “top” constantly coming...

    Is anyone looking at the REIT ETF's? Specifically REM? I don't dabble too much in that area but keep a small position for dividends. REM is nearing support levels of around 20$, most recent(5-10 year) low was in the 10 range, but it has consistency bounced back to 20/30 and quickly. For...

    I just finished the eureka zones and for the most part I liked them. The second one sucked ass due to the layout and cliff jumping shit. But the dept was cool, people were mostly friendly, and it was a nice change of pace. i did not get to do BA though because apparently it’s am54 person raid...

    don’t want to hijack the thread but I am not chasing anything. I got lucky with a few startups that a good, not great exit. Good meaning I dumped a lump sum of money equal to 10-20 years of someone maxing their 401k. Im on the 3rd one now and hoping this one will be slightly better than the...

    I am probably exaggerating or just plain pessimistic, but I’m getting to that age where a 30 year anything is not looking appealing to me. I am 41 and My goal, on track thus far, is to retire by 50. the Thought of being 70 seems so unrealistic and foreign to me

    Amazon Vine... Does this make me a shill?

    ‘that seems waaaay worse, does it not? If I impulse buy shit(I do) I pay whatever for it + tax, but it’s out my pocket and I’m solid. If you think you’re getting “free” shit all year and actua get into this you could easily “make” 10k+ on that 1099. So now instead of spending money you shouldn’t...

    assuming you did this because you think there is low chance of being exercised, but I’d like to understand your goals better in a trade like this. it’s really only .5% and over 2 months assuming you held to expiry. that’s really not that great. Is your goal here that it doesn’t drop much and...

    Ok so.... FF7(original) FF7 Crisis Core FF7 Remake ? And thanks for that link. I just checked it out and it seems like a modder(changing mob graphics and sounds, etc), what is the typical use-case for modding if I want to mostly play the original as intended? Why would I need to change the...

    Woop woop, finally finished the pixel remaster 1-6(on PC/Steam)! Was a fun callback and I could stream it to my ipad so it was great to play around the house instead of sitting at my computer. Almost made me want to buy a steam deck! Anyway, some questions I have now as "what next", keeping...

    ‘it’s no get rich quick scheme but gathering components can sell decently in stocks of 99. There are always crafters too lazy to farm. Otherwise getting lucky on rare drops earns ok Gil. Lastly just do various missions, duty finder, etc. you’ll earn 10-50k a day just doing that

    So i Had all the pot stocks on watches and when they got low and all the MDA started to converge(20/50/100/200) I picked up some shares of each. Nothing to break the bank as I’m like 90% long term investor(buy and hold while maybe selling some CC) but approx. 5k total mixed in CGC, ACB, and...

    Last Epoch

    I come back from time to time as well. It is a good game but I always struggled with the amazing power difference between some builds. They can’t quite seem to find a balance. I have a few setups where I can basically afk and plow and others that are painful, and not on purpose because I gimped...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I do miss record keeper big time. But never played anything ff7 beyond the original game. I only played this new thing on my iPad for maybe an hour or so today but it seemed ok. It’s 100% an iPad/iPhone game with the “auto” mode and all that shit. But not terrible on the surface. my prediction...

    Thanks for the info all. I may try to join that discord and hop in at some point. But the entire thing just seems like a pain the ass….and I’m not talking difficulty, I am ok with a “savage” type of system, but a savage system with 48-56 people with no good in game mechanic to unite is just...

    So I’m finishing my eureka weapon and now I’m trying to do BA.

    i Get it, but I like the change. Not because I think all races are created equal like some blue haired they/them but because without this change if you want to be the best xxx class you can be min/max, then you are limited to a specific race or you can’t get the bonus and thus weaken your character.

    I struggle to understand where the money comes from. I believe it is a mix of donations and advertising, but is it really? If it is donations, who in the fuck is actually paying to watch somebody do this shit? As much as I despise only fans I at least understand some fat slob who can't find a...

    I am about 75% through 5 right now(or so I think) and I do like the job system coming back. The OCD in me needs to stop myself from trying to max all dudes in all jobs, but otherwise I am enjoying it quite a bit. The status effects are much less annoying than in 4 so I'm happy about that.

    Fair MTX Models in free to play games

    Lots of games do it well. Look at FFxiv for exmple, granted it’s a AAA games with huge cult following, but all purchases are convenience or just visual. I think, if you want to avoid any type of pay to win, purchases should be visual or non-progress related.

    @Utnayan necroing an old thread, but I totally disagree. i suppose it comes down to what you want out of a game these days. with endless “open world” games out there, which of course I get side-tracked into picking up every rock and flower there is because I must have mental disorder, it is...

    Great question. One reason would be that I believe the stock still has some run in it and I’m already green figure why not go longer and let it ride with some type of limit trail. Of course I could roll and of course I can probably call fidelity but I’m lazy and wanted to find my answer via...

    Yes, fidelity will auto-exercise any ITM option by .01 according to their website. However, what if *bought* calls are ITM and the account does not have a cash position to cover? Basically an Exercise & Sell to Cover. Example: 500 Call Options for ABC @ 1.00 Current price: 2.00 Stock is ITM...

    Will fidelity automatically exercise a call a option in a sell to cover method if the account does not have the cash to support a full exercise? Note: I am not advocating for this as opposed to flat out selling the option. I just can't find an answer anywhere on Fidelity. It just states that...
