I've put aside this afternoon to beat the final boss of Dread. I'm amazed at how little I feel like doing this. I've never had trouble getting motivated to fight the final boss of a game before, ever, much less one from my favorite series of all time. It feels like I need to get this out of the...

In other news, withdrawing from Binance for the first time in like six months (Uniswap gas fees fucked up my checking acct a bit so I'm replacing the money I used by taking some from Binance, then putting it back into Binance next paycheck). Is it supposed to take a super-long time? I put the...

Yeah MATIC hasn't gone up much past 1.50 so it's uncharacteristically low relative to the numbers BTC and ETH are putting out. In April when both were slightly lower than they are now, MATIC followed suit by hitting 2.70. 2.70. I'm probably going to hold on and wait for the next big dip though...

Earlier today I was looking at possibilities to put some of my 100% USD into for swing trading while I wait for a BTC or ETH lull. Top of the list for me was Solana. Looks like it went up about 12% since then, so I wish I'd followed my nose. Most of the big players have dipped a little bit in...

Yeah and a lot of those are on Rampage, which has quickly turned into a B-show due to the death timeslot. As much as I like AEW, I would do a lot of things differently.

This was a great week. The rumors of crypto's demise were greatly exaggerated.

I think the one on the left might be noted Hampshire College / UMASS student Trigglypuff, of Milo-harassing fame. Seriously I'm pretty sure that's her

Yeah I wasn't crazy about the later boss fights, specifically all of the black venom spitting Chozo Warriors (you fight the same one 3x IIRC) and the flying mega-bee. All I can say is get really good at air-dashing. The good news is that once you get good at defeating the venom-spitting Chozo...

100% in USD now (well, USDT) for the first time all year. Going to either swing trade a bit or find something safe to leave this in while I wait for BTC to dip. Problem is, nearly everything is up across the board, so anywhere you stash, there's a good possibility of a decline. Shiba Inu has...

He could have bought 3 farms.

Yeah, I was also doing some google-fu and thought it was probably slippage. I'm cranking the slippage up to 10% and trying that, we'll see if it actually works. ..............annnnnnd it worked that time. $128 miner fee, added to the $140 I already blew on it today, so a loss of $270 on...

Can you bros tell me what this means so I can avoid it: Trying to swap TrueBit for Ethereum so I can transfer it to Binance with my other stuff. However when I do the TRU->ETH swap nothing happens, nothing except me being down another $70 from the gas charge. Down $140 for the day so far just...

Spoiler: It isn't

I was doing well with Truebit for a while (riding a consistent +15-30% from what I got in at) but after the recent extra-long lull it had, and reading recent posts on here, I'm starting to wonder if following him into the Truebit betting pool was the best idea. Today it's at almost exactly what...

I'm really liking the Switch OLED. Was well worth the $150 or however much it cost post-trade. I play portable more often than TV, and I got this just in time to see how amazing Ori looks on it. It's cool to see another portable finally achieve the same visual quality that I had on a PS Vita...

Shiba Inu is trading on Binance as of today so it's spiking a bit. I might stick to Binance trading from now on. Uniswap is such barely-usable ass, at least for me. Tired of seeing things like this and having to come back later:

My takeaway: Don't live in South Africa

Truebit had a run? I got excited for a sec but it's still in the 20's. I feel like it has been trending downward overall since the summer. Like I got in at .34 or so and for a while it was always well above that, now it never gets that high. Hopefully it someday takes off. I should probably get...

Am I right that you can't choose what to level up in this game? I can only do a generic level up with my souls when I go to a not-bonfire. No speccing? Half the fun of Souls for me is trying different builds, or figuring out what kind of character I want and gearing things in that direction. At...

Salt and Sanctuary is more of a Souls game than a Metroidvania IMO. It was REALLY good and I managed to beat the entire game despite some rough boss fights. Protip, if you want to plat the game in the quickest time possible, do it on your first run because everything becomes like 4x harder in...

Couple questions -Is this alright to play on console? Like if I get it on Switch so I can carry it around and actually play it with some regularity, will the controls be frustrating compared to PC? -Is this gonna get a physical console release any time soon? Only seeing it digitally and F...

SNL was good during the heyday of Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, up through the mid-90's with Norm and Sandler / Farley / Rob Schneider (ith...the thapler!) I remember falling asleep to it in the late 80's and early 90's as a small kid, but I'd always stay up long enough for Weekend Update...

This all makes sense to me. Koreans and East Asians in general tend to be smart enough to stop short when a warning shot is fired. They don't have to deal with that many charging Michael Brown psychopaths.

What's a hot thing to swing trade these days? Now that I'm getting active with this again I want to try some light swing-trading on something with consistent ups and downs while I wait for lulls in BTC/ETH to get into those.

Got both Oris on Switch, physical so they'll barely cost me anything. Already had HK on PS5 because it had a digital sale for $9 or something a while back. Ori should look really really good on the Switch OLED. Looking forward to that after I'm done with Dread (still need to fight the final boss).

Man, everything they do to show up AEW seems to backfire. Obviously the overall ratings for the 8-10:30 show were higher than the 10-11 show. However the head-to-head numbers are the only thing that matters in the context of this battle. Don't really care what Rampage did in its unopposed half...

Same here. I've got zero Ethereum or Bitcoin so watching them run is giving me some feelings of bein' left out. Sold MATIC at 1.50. It hit 1.60 both before and after I did so I missed both of those spikes, which would have been roughly $600-800 more in profit if I'd gotten a bullseye. It...

Finished the game. Can confirm there's some issue with matchmaking where it puts almost everybody into the first couple missions. Kind of messed-up, hopefully it eventually gets fixed because the later chapters are where the game is actually great.

Yeah, I can confirm that if you already bought an OLED and want to trade in your old Switch after copying everything over, just bring them to a Gamestop and you can do a return / trade-in to get most of your money back. You do have to bring the OLED and the Switch with you so they can scan them...

I'm up to almost $12000 on an initial investment of roughly $4500. Yeah I'm not throwing around a hundred thousand like the big boys here but that's what I'm working on. MATIC is way up for me so I'm trying to figure out whether to take the profits ($800) or hope for more before the next dip...

Basically finished with this, on the 2nd-to-last mission. It's better than I expected, and I had fun. It benefits a lot from the low expectations though. If I'd gone into this thinking it was incredible, right now I'd be feeling underwhelmed. It's a basic 3rd-person shooter with xenomorphs...

Same reason I still need to play Warcraft 3, Planescape Torment, Dragon Quest 8, Morrowind, etc. Some games were huge trendsetters in their time that I missed out on, and are still good games today.

They know me over there (the manager used to work for me), I'm guessing they'll do a return switcheroo for me if necessary to retroactively apply it. For $260 I think I'll take it, looks like a lot of the Ebay listings are $300 but you also have to deal with shipping / possible fraud etc. If it...

Think I've mentioned it on here before, but the Dragon Quest phone ports are reaaaally good. Specifically DQ1-6. I got through 1-5, midway through 6. Played the original forms of all of these games, and these phone remakes hold up. They're so compulsively playable. Same goes for the new Final...

It took some looking around, but I found one at a place 45-60 minutes away. Had to race there from another place once I found out, and was able to grab their last one.

I've got an OG launch-edition Switch that can be hacked. Am I better off ebaying it or trading it in at a Gamestop? Sounds like GS has jacked up their buying offers. Might be quicker to just do that, unless I can get like $400 on Ebay or something. I need to take some time to look through the...

Agreed. Dread gives away all of the major plot points in two particular cutscenes (when you meet the scientist guy, and when you arrive at the final boss). Rather than having the story slowly unravel as you go, they just dump exposition at those two points. It's a bit like how the teleporters...

Seriously. I grew up never having enough money to play 80-90% of the games I wanted to play. I STILL have never played Breath of Fire 2 or Dragon Quest 8. Now I can buy whatever I want and don't have time to get through 80-90% of it. I play maybe 1 hour a day on most days and that means an RPG...

Going to go out on an OLED-finding expedition today and see if I can grab one anywhere. I have a feeling that stores around metro areas will probably be totally sold out while stores out in the burbs will have stock. Unless those stores get less supply, IDK how Walmart/Target/Gamestop do things...

I've only played the first hour or so of this because I've got such a full game slate right now. Curious about the politics of the game though, especially if it's based on Cuba. In real Cuba, if I'm not mistaken, we have a situation where the government is communist and the people are sick of...
