The desired outcome is bringing down inflation. That doesn't seem to be happening. Also "inflation" in business news media-speak is actually just code for 'wage demands from the paycheck-earning class.' CPI is irrelevant to them. Every place I go still says "hiring all positions for all...

Yeah that game looks fucking sick.

Beer.

Eh they can patch that.

It could certainly be a worse first showing. The price seems okay. They are not aiming at the high end.

Not seeing any downturn in enterprise IT projects or consulting work. Backlog of project bookings is enormous. That said, employer is looking for ways to cut costs anyway. The absurdly strong dollar means it's incredibly cheap to hire people overseas right now, so they're looking for any...

lol, exactly, I thought it was basically a reprint of this product. But it's fucking booster packs? Hahaha.

How is that out of context? This is the context.

SQQQ looking really tasty.

Why are people waiting in line to play a game that's 98% the same as a game they haven't wanted to play for the past 6 years?

AFAIK speculators mostly stick to sealed product now, because modern cards get reprinted so frequently. Not sure though, been out of that game since shortly after getting a real job.

If it was just a secret lair product, sure. But random packs that are mostly filled with awful fucking cards?!?!

That's a little too much like Lost. That show gave me near-permanent flashback fatigue.

Well the flip side is that at those prices, it's way less distorting. If they were just handing out a set of Alpha for $999 that'd be very strange. But that they're just selling random packs of proxies for $999, this is likely to be a very low-demand product.

Holy shit it's $999 for 4 packs?!?! HAHA, no one is going to buy this. When I first read the announcement I thought it was $999 for a complete set.

Reserve list always included the stipulation that they could print the cards in non-tournament legal collectors editions, or at least has for approximately 26 years. https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/World_Championship_Decks They generally had gold borders AND non-legal card backs though. These are...

lol yes, it also lasted longer than that for me, because I played on the hardest difficulty and fucking sucked at it.

That would just be a patch or a rerelease on a new platform, not a "remake."

Needs to be a rule that you can't remake a game that isn't at least 15 years old.

lol yes, and DAOC flashbacks.

This game isn't bad. If you like Dishonored or Bioshock you should definitely play it.

Ryzen 7000 seems pretty lame if you're not going to delid.

Anno 2070 was another good Ubisoft game.

I just assumed this game was shitty because the trailers looked terrible, but I guess I might as well try it if it's on Gamepass.

That headline is actually fake.

Keep it simple. How about a Gradius-style shooter where every 10 seconds you get randomly generated weapons. And I mean RANDOM as fuck. Like shoots in random directions with random patterns, originating from a random point on or orbiting around your ship.

Uh definitely wait if you're looking to buy something that top-end. The 4090 is a true flagship card. The real questionable value proposition is the 2 4080 series cards.

New meme patch just came out:

Are you drunk or do you just not know anything about electrical engineering?

LOL https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/29/jobless-claims-hit-five-month-low-despite-feds-efforts-to-slow-labor-market.html "Despite the Fed's best efforts to put workers out of a job and scare the remainder with the threat of poverty, people continue to be employed." -paraphrasing, slightly...

I'm not missing that, it's just not relevant to why the prices of US assets, like equities and bonds, are behaving strangely. Yes, it drives up demand for dollars, but that's not quite the same thing as what I'm talking about. The strong dollar weakens demand for other asset classes.

Our view of everything is skewed because of the strong dollar. Our equities are more expensive for foreign investors to buy because the dollar is so strong, therefore this depresses the price of equities. Our bonds are more expensive for foreign investors to buy because the dollar is so strong...

Moved lower vs the dollar specifically, not vs other currencies. Also I believe Russia has been selling off insane amounts of gold.

Games can have a bad launch and still be good. BF4's launch was fucking horrible and nobody remembers that.

His bitching about the memory speeds on the 13900k vs 12900k shows he or his writers don't know what they're talking about. 4800 is the maximum SUPPORTED memory speed on the 12900K, while 5600 is the maximum supported memory speed on the new platform. Yes, higher kits exist, with XMP ratings...

I'm still waiting for it to be free in a humble monthly bundle lol.

Well, was it though? At first, everyone expected it to be very RPG. Then it looked more GTA-like and everyone was like "oh that's cool too." And then what we got was a weird mix of both?

Tons of money pouring into crypto and futures? Will the bears be beaten? Stay tuned.
