    KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

    I don't follow these things, and didn't even see Frozen 2, but I was under the impression the songs from that one didn't really register at all. It could just be that my niece was like 5 when Frozen came out so I knew it was big, and Frozen 2 there were no children around me.

    When our accounts started fluctuating more in a month than my actual salary, I knew it was about time to pull the plug.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Honestly, the price was kind of insane. I could play Clair Obscur for $10 or the $40 or $50 box price. Or Abiotic Factor. As long as I beat it within 3 months it was cheaper. It took a week or two. There are tons of games like this. It'll be annoying to pay double, but still likely worth it...

    Man, when Nvidia stock collapses it's going to be absolutely epic. Or, the AI shit is legit and this will seem like peanuts as AI driven by Nvidia creates matter out of thin air and introduces immortality. Could go either way.

    Yeah, I've said it before, by the time I'm drawing from this money 20 years from now, will that 1% even matter? Probably not. Went ahead and did it. I will say it's nice having everything at the same brokerage (my wife's 401k notwithstanding, which she still needs to move over). The account...

    The traditional portion of my TSP I guess finished its transfer yesterday, so the bulk of my money is ready to be re-invested (about 5% was Roth, which had to be a separate transfer, and it needed to wait for the traditional to clear for some reason). Market is up about 1% from where I think it...

    Based on the pictures I thought for sure this was an Edge biopic.

    Put me down as another that didn't notice there were only whites until it was mentioned here. But I live in a very, very white area, so it just looked normal.

    Miscellaneous Reality TV

    Wife and I started watching the Top Guns one. I thought it was going to be at the Top Gun school using the Top Gun Maverick cameras. But no, this is student aviators in advanced jet school, prior to even being winged. It's still a fun watch, but holy shit does it make me glad I dropped out of...

    Black Rabbit

    I don't know how people enjoy these types of shows. I just get anxiety watching characters whose entire purpose seems to be that they continually make horrible decisions that ruin the lives of everyone around them. I've only watched the first two so far, but it's rough. I mean, everything about...

    Peacemaker

    I was more talking about his insistence on meeting his other self. And then laughing at all the minor things that were different. "What is this? Did I make you? Psh, this is a snake, not a dragon! Wha...there's supposed to be three, there's six! What do six cats have to talk about?"

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Well dang, I haven't played it since earlier this year, but sounds like the EZ server guys decided to shutter the project (a server that's been going for something like 17 or 18 years). They feel like the injunction against THJ is so broad that it will impact them and don't want the legal...

    It was probably one of the more entertaining episodes of the season, sadly. Adrian's part was pretty fucking funny. He's generally been the highlight of both seasons though.

    Man, I'm watching this Estepario thing he's doing about Pneuma, and it's absolutely mental. Hopefully it gets posted soon. He's done some crazy shit, but man it just makes my brain melt. Just keeping the foot pattern going he's doing seems hard enough, but throw in some retarded pattern on the...

    Thought I had is, even if Nvidia was found to be violating laws, would the SEC even do anything about it? Is Nvidia too large now? With a $4T+ market cap, I don't think anyone wants to touch it at this point (a market cap larger than the GDP of every country on the planet except the top 3, and...

    I feel like many, many years ago when Top Gear was still on the air, the first EV supercars came out and they kind of loved them (despite hating EV's), because it's immediate torque.

    Stupid fucking market keeps climbing! This having my money transferring thing really sucks balls. I'm not sure if it was sold Wednesday or Thursday, but I'm probably out at least 1% so far. Still probably 7-10 days too (they said they were issuing the check today).

    I like how I bitched about this at the very start of the season, and somehow they even bungled that and came out with a season that's proving even more boring. I guess on the plus side it seems like maybe we'll get some of it to conclude the season, but most of these episodes have been...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I know people hate the ? quest marker shit that WoW introduced and made so popular, but the alternative of trying to guess what exact words some random NPC wanted you to say was also fucking stupid. And for some reason the guessing game is something the MnM devs really like. So now you get to...

    I'm assuming the people at ZH actually understand what made 2008 catastrophic, and it wasn't the subprime loans that took everything down. I'm assuming they're doing it just for the clicks because it sounds bad.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The problem becomes, this game needs people at all level ranges, and lots of them. Because otherwise you can't do a whole lot solo. And they're purposefully spreading their players thin. That's just the EA servers. Then they're going to add more servers for actual launch. Now consider their...

    Huh, that's interesting. I figured in some years mid and small caps would do better and then the total market would win out, but I guess since the index also carries the large caps, you're not only getting the winners. Which would mean in the years where large caps are the winners, it's...

    Yeah, thinking I'll move over to an S&P index instead of total market. It does the same thing (self cleansing), but eliminates all the small caps that don't do shit anyway. Initiated the transfer just now, although I thought I could do the traditional and Roth same day, but looks like I can...

    Can't decide if today will be a good day to initiate my rollover from my TSP to Vanguard. The 2-3 week expected timeframe where the money is out of the market gives me so much anxiety.

    The Terminal List: Dark Wolf

    I feel like I probably stalled out on Strike Back at some point, but it was so long ago I can't even remember anything about the show. As far as this show, I really couldn't get into it. I'll likely try again eventually. I loved the first season, but the first half of the first episode of this...

    I mean, sure, it's a very well crafted and shot film. And I'm not saying it was bad. I was interested for basically the entire length, outside of like I said Alex's chapter which for some reason didn't work as well for me. Probably because it did linger a lot longer than the rest of it. Oddly it...

    Weapons (2025)

    Haven't read the thread yet, but maybe I just don't get horror movies? It was fine. The premise was interesting. But especially during Alex's story, it just seemed to really drag. In the end it just kind of seems like a movie happened, but nothing was super memorable about it. For some reason...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    There's a test server that's always on (except during the public tests). That's why when I said they released a single patch just before the open test. Otherwise that wouldn't make any sense, because obviously they'd only have one.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    And yet, there are still massive issues like people falling through the world, monsters being stuck in terrain, and zone lines that don't work. It seems like there's no amount of excuses that won't be made for this game.
