    As an investor that doesn't actively trade (regularly) I'd rather buy at price levels from a year ago or further back while they are temporarily depressed due to the current events. I deal with terrible stuff all the time in my profession so I don't have much emotion attached to death...

    Lost Ark Online

    I was speaking in a general sense of what a cash shop does to a game and "p2w" aspect. I don't look at reddit. There isn't that MUCH to understand. It can't be p2w because there is nothing to win, it's just a grind. so I guess yeah if you distill "p2w" down to a literal sense to apply only to...

    time to delete the board? LLR? what would everyone do? i mean isn't that the whole p2w argument though? people gaining faster to be able to acquire gear sooner and/or people being able to progress to higher gear quicker than others by buying stuff that enables that? therefore they are a...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    the target demographic for media isn't 50+ year olds, which it has never been. The oldest "millennials" have nothing in common with the youngest, ~41 compared to ~25. completely different worlds growing up as one end grew up entirely with social media and the other was part of the adaptation...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    admittedly I was surprised looking at the "mainstream" rating and stuff for WoT show. pretty well received but we all know it's actual garbage. But I guess like most things, you don't know what you don't know...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    “Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the...

    I've already written this off even though the stills look amazing, but I did a quick google and this guy is puerto rican. not a big difference... "The silvan elf Arondir, played by Ismael Cruz Córdova, is a character who’s been created for the series" Supposed to be the same race/type of elf...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    alright, watched it. had some potential for sure and good "ideas" but they basically cheesed up everything. i think that's robert rodriguez. @Xenrauk hit most of the points above. the strats were dumb, everyone grouping up in one pile to fight the pykes, mando should have been able to kill...

    Yes it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun it just means they add all sorts of bullshit from a developmental standpoint to encourage cash shop purchases. Multiple currencies and shit?please. and frankly that combined with the daily weekly monthly timer bullshit for everything has made mmos terrible...

    Lost Ark Online

    you are purposefully being dense. Chys's initial post outlined all the mechanics that this game is built around a cash shop, in addition to literally every other MMO that came from korea. don't worry though, someone's opinion doesn't mean you can't have fun with the game. not everyone needs to...

    I mean it's a Korean grind game, it's all pay to just progress shit faster with artificial gates to encourage you to spend money to do just that. there are dailies and weeklys etc. layers upon layers of systems with multiple currencies. that is what they all are and what this has always been...

    What evens out? It doesn't even out. It's changing the seasonality adjustment drastically from the past 8+ periods for whatever reason, the most unlikely of which is to provide a more realistic representation of the market. It's simply changing the "rules of the game" for the data. Analysts...

    Good read: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/here-whats-behind-todays-stunning-payrolls-beat In summary, while the markets had been trading for months on fake data when the BLS failed to catch up to covid reality, and was applying stale seasonal adjustments, they are doing so again today, only...

    I didn't see any sales figures/box count in their amazon 10-q, would it be in the 10-k you think? or you think will they just not ever release them at this point?

    New World

    Yeah no way its even close to 25m box sales. But it was definitely profitable, not close to a failure in that sense.

    Man I have a significant sum coming in March to invest so I'm feeling some serious FOMO right now with everything going on last week and into this week. I just need to remember I'm an investor and not a trader I guess. Hoping for more overall sideways action - but I guess in 5, 10 years it...

    Yeah I suppose. I just view him more as ad-hoc type content vs. something more planned with a purpose/future/etc which is maybe why I don't care as much.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Boba Fett was never more than a small time figure. It's not the writers fault that you all wanted him to be and talked yourselves into thinking he was more than he is (over a span of 30years). Yeah he was marketed a bit more than other "nobodies", but that's because they like making money and...
