Yeah, my SpaceX is worth half of what it was a month ago. And Torchlight has dropped by about two-thirds in the same time. Things I thought were pretty safe bets to hold onto, and they've just tanked towards the floor instead. Pretty soon they'll go through the floor and drill a hole in the...

I've noticed lately that I absolutely have a thing for Middle-Eastern women. I've always like Mediterraneans so this isn't a big surprise. However, by that I mean chix from Spain, France, Italy, Greece. However more and more I've been seeing women from Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria who are...

If I'm remembering right, early EQ raids also topped out at around 20-24 people because lag/LDs would start setting in if more than that were fighting at a time. Not sure when that got fixed, probably before Kunark. I remember going on a couple of Nagafen raids in 1999 or so where there were...

Re-read what I said because it's like the opposite of what you said I said, I don't take out girls that have a second date already planned that night. It was sorta my whole point that if you're in a situation like that it's much better to be the last guy she sees than the first. Being the first...

Basically don't be greedy, have reasonable goals. Sounds good to me. Sort of like knowing how many swings to go for on a boss in Dark Souls. Good players will do their 1-2 swings when they have an opening, then back off. N00bs who are used to playing other non-Souls things will stay in and try...

I've got four (modern) laptops laying around and was considering setting them all up in their own room for more or less 24/7 Ethereum mining. How feasible is it to do this with laptops vs. desktops, even if the laptops are recent/powerful? Can I expect reasonable returns? I'm hoping to pull in...

Switch has been a solid replacement for the 3DS IMO. It's useful for playing on the go and has saved me on a few trips. Being able to hook it up and play it on the TV at will is great. It's essentially a Wii U with way more games where you can un-tether the Gamepad and go anywhere with it, plus...

I don't get it. Isn't it better to be the second guy? Unless of course the other guy hit it. I've been in a few situations* where I was the second guy a girl went out with on a given night and it always went well for me being the last one. Like I'd rather be the one with her while it's getting...

They're alright, my crazy redheaded ex has them. After a while I really started to miss outtie nipples. Edit: Mia De Sousa in the Lisbon section looks like my Puerto Rican ex, just blonde instead of dark hair. I miss that girl, so I'd spend a day with her just on account of that. I love how...

Naw. It's got normal tablet proportions, not the proportions of my dong. On one hand I kinda wish I'd held onto GME longer because I could have recouped most of my losses there at this point. On the other hand...once it was clearly doomed, I just didn't want the stress of having it around...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Consolidating and getting rid of some SPACs sounds great right now. Going to start looking long-term and having my short-term stripper-playing be primarily in the realm of cryptos. BTWN over BTNB? I've got a substantial BTNB investment, my own largest SPAC. Most of it...

Jeeeeesus. I haven't looked into them, nope. The platforms I use for trading seem very limited compared to what the pros use. I like Robinhood for the slick UI, for example.

Thanks for the input, definitely going to hold onto it now. I'm new enough at this that nobody should be emulating anything I say or do on this subject. It's also tough to keep track of so many of these, and I couldn't remember why I bought into PSTH to begin with. If anything, it sounds like I...

Just finished the video. Welp, looks like I got this one 100% wrong! The escaped blanket is pretty conclusive proof. That's the Knight alright. Also the stuff I've read about it floating over Scandinavia for centuries wasn't right either, since it was off the coast of Africa. So basically this...

I hope we get a class action lawsuit in the Lordstown situation. It's easily my biggest financial loss since I started stonking (sold at 60% of what I bought in at, and I sold a day after the fraud news broke). I invested entirely on the basis of the information they were putting out there that...

Can you translate? PSTH is one that I was considering cutting loose. Have around $500 in it and was thinking about re-investing it elsewhere at this point. GSAH and SOAC are two I'm very interested in having more of / any of respectively. If people are holding the line on PSTH I can hold the...

I believe the 12,000 to 13,000 number comes from people in Scandinavia etc passing down stories about it over the centuries, since it's visible from the ground there and has been in the same orbit for a long time. That said, passing down stories is one thing but I don't know how people came up...

Gold Trump dollar. Well, gold-plated, not solid. I'll need to store this under the floorboards during the Great Purge of 2023, but until then it's fun to look at. Looks like I do indeed have a Walking Liberty silver dollar and half dollar already. The silver dollar has some edge discoloration...

Something I'm getting used to seeing: My stocks are red, red all the way down. LAZR is really fighting, though. It's the only one giving me consistent jumps into the green. Everything else is just...crashed from a month ago. Is this because of fears of inflation because of these stimulus bills...

If we found another interesting planet with life on it and decided to set up shop and observe it from as safe a distance as possible with our drones, where would WE set up shop? That's right: On the planet's perfectly geosynchronous moon, one side of which the planet's inhabitants can't even see.

Sounds good to me. I certainly learned my NAV lesson from buying ZNTE at $13 or $14. I still have it, too, hoping for it to go somewhere the same way Sam Beckett hoped for a leap home. Here's what I've still got for SPACs, lotta NAV here: I'm trying to move more into crypto at this point...

On another topic, does anyone have any idea WTF the Black Knight Satellite is? Thing's been orbiting Scandinavia / the arctic for 12-13,000 years. Maybe it already got discussed here, don't know.

I've always figured (at least for a decade or so) that these super-fast UFOs were more likely to be drones than to have pilots. Look at our military moving in the direction of drones and automated pilots as quick as it can. All of our expeditions to other planets (rovers, mosquito, etc) are...

Those are pretty rad. I checked out JM Bullion and the prices are nuts for platinum coins, but man are they appealing. I'm in a silver mood and used to collect coins myself. Last coin I bought was a 2020 gold Trump dollar because I had a feeling they'd disappear off the face of the Earth within...

It's definitely the time for buying. Over in the crypto arena everything is down across the board tonight too. I wish I had more money freed up so I could splurge.

I assume most people here know this already: The out-of-Africa theory seems to be bunk at this point since modern human fossils have been found in Europe that easily pre-date the earliest modern human fossils in Africa by like half a million years or more. Regardless of where people come from...

BTNB pop off when?? I bought in at like $13, then bought in a lot more at $10.40 or so. I've been hovering around 90% of my investment for weeks, as a result. When is the champagne party?

How secure is Coinbase? As in, people who have large sums of money in their Coinbase wallet, what are the odds of getting hacked and losing your life savings?

Put $700k in Ethereum, stake it, and live off of the 10% interest per year. Keep the other $309k for other things / backup / stocks. I have no idea if this krazy plan would actually work.

I'm liking the sound of all of this. Was already thinking about staking ethereum once I'm done buying. I've only got like $700 in it now because I spread the money around. Most of it went to BTC and the rest got split between Eth, Maker, Mana, Dash, and ADA. So my idea is to drop another $1300...

Who is this doofus downvoting everyone?

Soon as I realized ADA was on regular Coinbase today I grabbed it. Big buy at $1.28, going to hang onto that for a while. When ETH becomes ETH 2.0, is everyone's existing holding in ETH going to just convert over to the new one? I'm interested to see what kind of a jump ETH gets out of this.

I've got four working laptops here to potentially mine. One of them is pretty beat-up and needs like $500 in repairs so I probably wouldn't use that one. The other 3 are all modern (two high-spec 2020 Lenovos, one mid-spec 2018 Lenovo). It'd obviously be a lot better if they were desktops, but I...

This is the best evidence I've seen for the "modern humans came here from another planet" idea. Or some modern humans, anyway. See: Xenogears and stories like that. It's an interesting idea since we're so different from most of the planet. That we were put here, or fled here from somewhere else...

Good. I'd like to see them work on FF16 and FF7R-2, -3, etc instead of piecemealing it out like FF15. I couldn't stand how FF15 went. The game itself was alright, but it was clearly EXTREMELY unfinished. It looked like around 80% of the game world had been cut (going off of early concept world...

Guard Scorpion is also probably the toughest (or most drawn-out) fight as a new player. Nothing else is remotely that difficult until Air Buster which is like 25% of the way through the entire game. There are some real layers to the combat in this one. Even after I beat the game (on Easy) I...

"Firiona sports a dong" would get EQ so much mainstream coverage from Kotaku etc with headlines like "One of the MMO greats makes a MUCH-needed and long-overdue change". Washington Post might even cover it if the head dev was a lady. "A Female Game Developer Took A Bold Step. Online Trolls...

I had the same realization at around the same time. Here we had a massive amount of interest being generated by new servers. Tons of people returning to the game, despite a complete lack of marketing. Just word of mouth and people loyal to EQ bringing the game back to life once again. ...and...

Just gave Wal-mart a stab at 3:40 and it's got an "add to cart" option but it says out of stock after I click that. I'll try a few more times. Still nothing on Amazon. Not a big deal though.

Not sure about that. I don't have PS+ and there are a bunch of games I got on PS+ that are locked out now. They have a lock symbol on them and it says I need a PS+ subscription. I might get PS+ this month just for Rez and Subnautica. Depends on if Rez is playable without VR. I loved the PS2...
