I've got 778 hours into it. It's a good game.

Didn't even realize this was coming out until I saw this thread a week or two ago. I never got into Dune growing up. The books were around but they were so thick I didn't bother. Never saw the original movie, either. Anyway, thought Part Two was great. Kind of makes me want to go back and watch...

Holy crap, they're finally doing it. 12 years and it's finally releasing. https://7daystodie.com/alpha-exodus-leaving-early-access/

So we're just going to keep dancing around the same talking point over and over again I see. I don't give a shit that the data behind it is good. The issue is them publishing bad numbers.

You're basically just admitting that the federal numbers (the only ones anyone actually sees) are bullshit. Like I said, the "data behind it" is sound. So why do they keep putting out the same bullshit numbers?

My favorite part is the "it can be explained by seasonal adjustment making them all the same." So...how is that any different than just fake numbers exactly? "Well the actual data behind it does fluctuate." So why would they publish the bullshit numbers? It'd be great if people weren't so...

I thought you always looked at IWM?

Been super humid the last 2-3 days here in Florida, too. Feels like it's the end of June already. Highs are only in the 70's though. It also hasn't rained in like a week and a half, and before that it'd been a long time.

I didn't realize there were that few Cybertrucks. Saw one a couple weeks ago outside Walmart here in Florida.

Welp, we lost 5000. Womp womp. The one thing the administration could hang their hat on as performing well is about to also go into the shitter.

Maybe this was all a ploy to get people to rebuy the original stuff? "Wow, this sucked...I wanna go watch the good version."

It's not complicated at all. If you're 99% of people, invest in an index fund that tracks the broad market.

So just shitty DEI projects without anything worthwhile to attract any other audiences?

So looks like I was kind of right (although me figuring it out that far in isn't really anything to that about). They seemed to really lean into it too, especially with Jerry coming back and the dialogue in the jail. I thought the finale was okay. I was expecting something really funny based on...

I think my problem with the space elevator was that it really meant a complete redo of just about everything. Completely tear down the rocket circuitry and then setup a train station for every single resource. I had sort of already started a small train network in space, but it was really just...

Man, I unlocked the space elevator finally and just completely stalled out. Basically having to retool my entire Nauvis and orbit bases. There are just so many fucking resources to manage now. I'm almost done researching wide beacons, which will likely make me redo a bunch more stuff, and after...

Was going to say this. I played this shit out of Fallout 2. The "modern" ones were fine. New Vegas obviously being the best of em, but things like VATS just don't work on what looks like a first person shooter. I apparently only put 3.8 hours into Fallout 4, and 22 in NV (dunno about 3).

It's a nickname of derision, since the Yellen/Powell years are basically all lumped together and he's a giant fucking woman.

People got used to near zero interest rates for so long that anything even approaching historical average seems outrageous. We've been saying it for years now that this Fed doesn't have the balls for it.

I'm not sure you even have to have logged in. I hadn't played since mid-March and just logged in to ones completed in the last 3 and 10 days.

This is quite the skid downward we've had. Where are the resident technical nerds to tell us what the support levels are?

Only watched the first episode and it was decent. Good enough that I'll keep watching. The tranny was definitely distracting though, and on screen for way longer than "two minutes" or whatever someone said. The girl who plays Lucy seemed super familiar, and it wasn't until a couple hours after...

Literally just watched this episode two days ago.

I think I only have the finale left to go. Really liked Matt Berry's cameo. He really does play the same character in everything, but damn if that one character isn't fucking hilarious. I wanted to post before watching the finale, but this really seems to be setting up for a Seinfeld redemption...

I mean, his ex wife's first husband was best friends with OJ. I can't imagine he'd get along with them very well.

Man, I forgot about that one. That one scene with Kristy Swanson, you know the one. I also forgot that Anthony Keidis and Flea were in that one as some crazed rednecks trying to knock them off the road. That movie was fucking great. Apparently Kristy is also a good one, she was in that...

Almost the entire cast of The Naked Gun dead now. Only one left is Priscilla Presley if you can imagine that.

Speaking of power, although maybe you don't have an answer, is there a certain amount I should push for before space elevators? I thought I read someone say something about it being a huge power drag and it destroyed their factory once they started using it. I'm currently making about 750MW in...

I mean, I posted a screenshot that looks almost identical to that a few weeks ago. I'm only now, like 100 hours later, where I have about 16 city blocks in space built with an incredibly rudimental train system (only moving cosmic water, chemical gel, thermofluid 25, and plasma). And probably...

I decided to try rushing space elevator and holy shit was it a mistake. I'm like 28% of the way there and it's just slowed everything to a crawl. I don't produce nearly enough science because I'd need about 10x the resources in space to keep up. And the backend infrastructure just isn't there...

You'd think the SEC would go after whoever speculated that. That's the kind of shit where a lot of money can be made/lost, and "journalists" shouldn't just be able to say stupid shit without repercussions.

It's been like that for a while. In fact, the whole economy right now is government spending. It's like whoever is in charge only ever took intro to macroeconomics and that part about government spending being used to prop up private/commercial spending in downturns just got amped up to being...

Went from almost 1% up on the day to 1% down. Fucking Fed. I'm still curious about these metrics that show the economy being strong.

Yeah, they actually did a smart thing when the GME mania hit and they got wrapped up in it. But then they squandered it by thinking they were somehow not a dying business. Now they're still a shit company, just with many more shares outstanding.

God damnit, I can't tell if that's satire. It's not...is it?

My guess is it's a 24 hour thing from when you first did it. Or we're just all here permanently. APRIL FOOLS!

Maybe Americans are smarter than I give us credit for. They realize it's all make believe, inflation will erode the dollars anyway so may as well spend into oblivion, and the government might even just forgive it all.

I think we're all fine with popcorn action flicks. It's the need to reboot a campy popcorn flick that everyone loves that rubs us all the wrong way.
