Well boys, shit just got real. Got this email just now. Edit: Heh, so much to unpack reading this "crypto primer" from Fidelity Crypto Trading with Fidelity | Discover Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, ETFs and more. First thing I'm noticing is that they are referencing crypto as a digital currency...

Totally agree. Would be a serious mistake. It looked like Mariko was doing some fighting stuff in the trailer. It's been a few years since I read Shogun, but iirc, Fujiko ended up doing some fighting stuff, but Mariko never did. Could be forgetting things though

I couldn't tell from that trailer for sure, but it looks like they combined the characters of Mariko and Fujiko. I hope not, but I could totally see them pulling some shit like that. Edit: Not seeing a Fujiko in the S01 credits. Not sure if that means they combined her with Mariko or if she...

Pretty early in the server life for a lot of EC action, no? Especially for a single box server. Everyone is still out there getting items and leveling up for the most part, I imagine.

yep, she (Blood like Mercury) just got it. Thanks!

Hey @Secrets, I'm going to teach my wife how to play EQ (wish me luck). I am totally unfamiliar with using Discord as a message board. I think I posted the correct info for requesting an IP exemption in the "petition" thing yesterday, but I'm not sure. Does it usually take a while?

I just loaded Quarm up tonight myself. I sat on the log in screen trying to figure out what I wanted to play for about 15 minutes then logged off lol. It's weird, I have the impulse to play classic EQ, but when I actually consider what it's going to be like playing each class, I have zero...

Yeah it looks right. You can go into display settings and change the window size once you start playing. No idea what's up with your login account though.

TBF, there are a bunch of definitions for what Web3 is. I think it's one of those things that likely won't be truly defined until after it happens. My understanding is that a big part of the Web3 concept involves the tokenization of user-generated online content and the regular use of...

Cool. Wasn't trying to argue the physics of hyperloop. Just saying I think the idea of a super fast train network across the US would be great.

I was actually really stoked about that idea when I first read about it years ago. Still hope some form of it happens down the road- even it just ends up being a super fast train network for the US. Bankless X could definitely be a hyperloop, but it could also be a tesla or space X. No one...

Just saying if the person who wrote the article is nuts you might want to take the content with a grain of salt. I hope it's accurate, personally. That article makes me super bullish for crypto in the very near future. That and Musk's continued obsession with making Web3 happen

Taylor Lorenz is a certifiable nutball btw.

True but goes without saying. All senators are owned by someone. Most of them are owned by several someones. But I guess I am curious who is pulling the strings on this one. Which lobbying group has the most to gain by putting the kibosh on crypto?

Not sure what Warren has against crypto, but boy she fucking hates it. In other news, any of the few remaining crypto people on this board loading up with any moonshot shitcoins for the upcoming anticipated bull run? If so, what are you loading?

What do you think?

TLRY up 8.5% since I posted this yesterday.

Question I'm trying to answer: does this mean I should buy weed stocks? In other words, does a crypto run launch the next weed/meme stock cycle too?

Yeah, I mentioned that

More interesting (to me) than the price of BTC is the fact that it's moving counter to the market as a whole. People jumped the gun previously by calling it a market hedge, despite the fact that it never clearly made the jump from spec asset to hedge. Are we seeing the jump now? Probably not...

Heh, wait until you get to the fishes episode

I haven't been really been helplessly obsessed with a game like I was with the original BG games and some of the others in years, and ive always assumed its just because I grew out of it. I figured it was just one of those things you can only do when you're a kid. Nope. Apparently it wasn't...

The only sex parter they are going to replace is Rosey Palm.

Hmm, I'm no tech dude but even I could do that.

Long story, but we have major communication problems. You know how you get someone every now and then where you just constantly misunderstand each other. Well, it sucks when it's your boss. She's also a bit of an ego maniac. She says dumb shit and then watches to see if you think it's funny...

I get what you mean. My buddy works for a big bank, works from home, and automated his job years ago. He pulls in close to 200k a year doing shit with spreadsheets and works maybe 5 actual hours per week. He gets his fulfillment/enjoyment in places other than work. I'm totally not opposed...

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't just as simple as applying for a ups driver job and then you are suddenly pulling in 170k.

Ironically I thought about a driving job. I like driving tbh. UPS apparently pays their drivers 170lk a year now...

:emoji_wave: Still have a big bag MATIC and no intention of selling. Going to ride this bitch into the ground- or wherever it takes me.

Yeah rough times for everyone tbh. I'm watching people get axed around me left and right. I move around the country a lot, so my network is scattered- mainly in places I have already lived and don't really want to live again. Part of the problem is definitely the environment, i.e. the...

Career investigator with a legal background (but not an atty). Currently a workplace investigator for a major media firm. Pays really well but my job basically consists of making everyone's life miserable by hounding them about bullshit I'd probably be doing myself. The industry is...

Gotta make a change man. I keep catching myself drifting off into space while I'm supposed to be working. I'm having trouble even going through the motions these days. If I don't leave the job, the job is going to leave me- if you know what I mean. I don't know, I figured with all the new...

Tired of my current career path and potentially looking to make a switch. Seeking advice from FoH bros on underrated/newer potential career paths. Obviously, this is a super broad topic and it depends on a million things, so I'm more looking for anyone who has stumbled upon a niche job or...

True- but it seems like just the ability to scribe scrolls alone makes 1 level of Wiz worth it. You could basically turn your Bard into a Wiz with just 1 Wiz level. You'd miss out on the class/subclass features of the Wiz, but the benefits of being a Bard more than make up for that imo. Edit...

That's huge. So I can cast Fireball (a level 3 spell) with only 1 level of Wizard? And I cast it as a Bard? If this is the case, I'm immediately rerolling lol

Was thinking of going full Bard with just one level of Wiz in order to get access to the entire Wiz spell catalog BUT- do you use CHA for the wiz spells you cast, or INT? If INT, doesn't seem like it would be worth it...

I did like 8 play throughs in EA and Barb was by far my favorite. Wasn't expecting it. Only got convinced to try it after reading some posts. My big hang up was that I didn't want to play a character with zero RP skills because I didn't want to miss out on stuff. Turns out Barb Intimidate...

Yeah you can drag the portraits around the separate people and connect them. Once you start to pull the portrait you'll see chains connecting it to the others. Pull until they break

The druid sanctuary is kind of buggy. I played through EA several times and twice i did something to make the whole fucking place turn on me. Wasn't at all clear what I did and it didn't seem combat related.
