Pretty much the way I feel. Solid 6 or 7 out of 10. I've got my complaints about the writing/lore but it never crossed the line to unwatchable for me. And the fucking visuals are frankly off the charts good. They really made Middle Earth come alive with the visuals. I see some awards in the...

Wait, is the U.S. the plane, the person drowning, the person climbing on the person drowning, or the ocean?

And this is why my only positions have been inverse so far this year. All year I've been listening to people say that things can't get much worse and there's going to be a rebound soon, and I should take my profits and run. But every single macro indicator has remained negative and many have...

Yeah that was awful. Lots of better ways to handle that scene. You could have Adar just say "Mordor" or (even better) just not have him say anything at all and close the scene with the shot of what is clearly Mount Doom in the background because, hey, we all know what it means. The cheesy...

You aren't wrong. Things changed a little bit (at least on blue servers) over the years, but VI took a very "hands off" approach to that type of thing.

Don't see Barbarian. That's my contribution to the thread. Movie reviews have been fucked for a while, but I've never seen them as off for a movie as they were for this one (i.e. it got stellar reviews across the review sites and it was absolute trash).

Print this out and frame it on your wall.

Yeah there's actually a lot of truth to this. You can fix raid calendars and queues with methods other than instancing and pvp (though I still like the idea of battling over spawns). 1. Make sure there is plenty of raid content to go around. 2. Spread that raid content out geographically. 3...

Good book. Bad monetary policy.

Still riding mine, but you're probably smart to get out now.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out why the crypto market was bucking the nadaq, instead of moving in lock step (like it normally does). This explains it.

Still a 7/10 for me, which means it's still entertaining and worth watching, if imperfect. Was worried we would be faced with PG fight scenes after the first ep troll fight, which was bad- but the fighting stuff since has been much better. I'm a picky critic and I'm enough of a nerd to have...

https://longreads.trust.org/item/Fears-subprime-carbon-credits-stall-crypto-rainforest-mission Long read about an in-depth investigation into tokenizing carbon credits in Brazil. Not going to be for everybody on this board (maybe not for anybody), but I found it very interesting. Might just...

VB clearly does not give a shit about the money and I think there are a few others, but that's about it.

Not a popular take on here, but I'm pro pvp for raiding. Fuck calendars and waiting lists- take what you can take. Of course, like you, I would probably never be able to actually participate in a competitive guild because I lack playtime, but still...

The big benefit to the merge (from an investment standpoint) is that this opens the door for a lot of institutional investors who were hesitant to back a PoW coin due to environmental concerns to start putting money into ETH. I think we will definitely will see ETH get a flood of new...

Anyone streaming have a site?

Yeah, Kilmer can barely talk. Afaik, Iceman's condition in the new Top Gun was pretty close to how he really is (not dying, but unable to speak much at all). Funny, I just rewatched Willow for the first time in 20 plus years. I had really fond memories of it, but frankly it didn't hold up...

For sure. Wasn't trying to suggest anyone overthink it. The show is definitely good enough that you can ignore the unrealistic things about it.

He got the weed from Tobold Hornblow and the fireworks from the elves. Not sure if anyone cares about his wagon, but we might get to see how he got his hat.

It's a great show, but you definitely have to suspend your belief a bit. In reality, a gang squad task force would have come into town a couple seasons ago and most of the cast would be in juvie or prison.

I think we're at least supposed to think it's Gandalf. The part where he whispers to the fireflies is an obvious callback to when Gandalf whispered to the moth to go get Lord of the Eagles to save him. Of course it could be an intentional red herring /shrug. It sounds weird saying...

I don't know, she's an elf- she has plenty of time to multiclass. I can see her having trained with the blade in her early years and moving on to explore the secrets of magic as she gets older. Elves live a long fucking time.

Yeah, Elon's is a bad take. We'll see where it goes from here, but you've got to be trying pretty hard to be offended at this point in the show.

Can't believe I'm about to say this, but this show is... good... Very good, even.

Well fuck, this thread is useless for figuring out if the show is any good (despite hundreds of posts). And critic reviews stopped being reliable a few years ago, so I guess I'm going to have to watch this shit and see for myself..

I forgot, they did make the black guy an orc...

Goes double for meme stocks.

I converted SR 2nd edition to my system. Worked out pretty well. Foundry significantly better than roll20? I'm about to start up a campaign and I've been contemplating shifting to Foundry

Base DnD 5e is honestly a great system, especially for beginning RPers. I'm talking about the ~2015 core book stuff. I've heard some bad things about the direction they are headed, but tbh I don't know how much of that is true, as I've spent the last 5 years locked away with my own system and...

Not a bad plan. Similar to what WoW did. Although if they are still at the point where they are working towards securing funding, realistically this isn't going to be playable for a good while. It's a shame. It looks pretty cool

Ok I admit I'm too lazy to search through the thread for an answer. Someone give me a tldr: is this thing realistically coming out this year or even early next year, or is this another Pantheon?

Haven't played ED in more than 20 years, but I remember liking a lot about the system.

So what fantasy ttrpgs are people playing these days? It's been a while since I played DnD 5e, but I've been hearing some crazy shit recently and it seems like people are kind of turned off by some of the recent changes. Pathfinder 2? I've heard good things but never played it. Anything else...

Musk made sure to mention he hung onto his Dogecoin though 😄

I got news for you amigo, people make terrible investment decisions in every sector.

I'm not sure what those numbers mean to you... People made bad investment decisions involving crypto?

Go back to your stonks old man. The numbers don't lie.

MATIC UP 174% in the last month. Crypto market cap regains 1 trillion We'll see how long it lasts.
