    If you can get a fairy with cheer (doesn't have to even be max), just let it heal you with pots through the desert sickness. Wasting time on water/tea is fucking stupid. If you have infinite pot it makes it even better.

    The Official Conspiracy Thread

    Pretty sure if you're imagining having sex with other men, you're gay. Just because you're not acting on it (for hypothetical sake), you still want to fuck dudes.

    Wait, I missed that part. So theoretically you could eventually max every single node? Holy shit that'd be awesome.

    You can only invest in the node if you're not there with a VP, in which case it cost 10 energy. Can't do it at all without the VP active. I'm hoping this means you don't need VP at all.

    As this stretches on though, no one ever talks about the old data falling off. Yeah, it may be 3.2% from July 2022 - 2023, but what about July 2021 - July 2022? We're still getting crushed by inflation.

    Geez, 320 recommended AP. Guess they listened to the complaints about gear capping grind zones.

    Yellowjackets

    My take is that they've decided to lean too heavily on the "present" timeline. I don't really like much of anything about it. The past is where the meat of the story is and whoever is in charge just doesn't seem to want to spend much time there. I'm assuming it's because the adult cast is where...

    Really timed that PLTR exit well. With how much it's dropped, makes me wonder when I should jump back in.

    I didn't finish it. Think we made it two or three in and said fuck it. We may have revisited it to finish at some point, but by then I saw the racism rant or whatever at the end and said nope.

    Which, just as a side note, is why buying a house versus renting is an incredible way to build wealth. Inflation hit 15%? Yeah, well my mortgage payment stayed the same (although fuck you insurance and taxes). My mortgage is for around $1300, but houses this size are renting for like $2200.

    That's fair, I suppose. I'm incredibly bullish on the markets only because...where else does the money go? I think the country and west are a fucking dumpster fire and on borrowed time. But it's also the least worst place to stash money. I think you kind of touched on it in one of your posts...

    Not sure why you think I'm negative. I turn 40 next year and retired into probably one of the worst periods in history. I didn't go back to work and have no plans to. Seems pretty bullish an attitude to me.

    That's what's been killing us the last couple weeks in Florida. It's always hot this time of the year, but the humidity has been bonkers. The air actually feels thick.

    100%. Did they need to steep it in "fascism" and "end of democracy" hysteria? Deny it all you want, there were real world political overtones all over it. They could've very easily cut all that out and nothing was lost. It was purposeful.

    Connor wasn't seeking his father's approval. Which is what I think had the other children constantly trying to take each other down, ultimately leaving them all with the conclusion they got. In fact, I'd say Connor had the opposite problem where he somewhat loathed his father for putting his...

    Yes, my Shiv opinion is solidified. She's the worst. I mean, they're all shitty people, but she really seemed to fuck her family in a special way. And the way she treated Tom was just atrocious. Actually, I don't think Roman ever really fucked the siblings like that, and Connor mostly stayed out...

    I think my wife and I started watching this sometime around when season 3 was ending. We only made it 7 or 8 episodes into the first season before kind of fizzling out. I picked it back up on my own a few weeks ago and really wanted to stay out of this thread, but I just finished up the Trump...

    Calpheon 2. Just message Kamidus prior to Vell that you're looking to warhero for Khan.

    Oh, and like I also said, if you need crow coins (at this point likely for blue caravel enhancing mats), Khan runs are a decent way to get some fast. I want to say I get about 800ish per Khan. This Sunday is when we do our double Khan if you want in (every other Sunday, as it's two weeks worth...

    That sounds right. The ones from Ravikel and then the corals. If you've already got Breezy Sail, the rest don't really matter so much. The Tinberra one is good for easy crow coins, too. Hit up the Sailing discord for the different people doing em. Also not a bad idea to do Ravikel's barter...

    Yes, holy shit, don't do sailies on your own. That's insanity. Hitch a ride with someone and knock it out in under an hour. I've got a Valor and if I wanted to run em again I'd still hitch a ride. I'll see if I can find a guide when I'm not on my phone, but yeah, you grab all the quests besides...

    Not sure buying value packs is worthwhile early game. Heck, really only if you're super active and need the marketplace buff. The rest of what you get is kind of a piss poor value compared to what a subscription in a normal game would be.

    Yup, we're still below average interest rates. It's funny because "cash flow is king" is one of those business adages I was told, but the reality is by the time I heard it, it probably wasn't even true anymore. Until now.

    Yeah, for new seasonal characters, I don't even bother to learn any of the skills until level 59 or 60. I literally just mash combos hoping something works. Then once I need to grind on it, I'll look up a combos guide for the class. Before that it's a waste of time. And something I learned from...

    Black Desert

    You basically set characters with different loadouts, buff loadouts, crystal loadouts, etc. And then select them, and within each grind session set any additional buffs (like if there's a 50% drop rate event, etc). Once you get it setup with your usual setup, it's pretty fast. Just input all the...

    Those numbers look absolutely ridiculous. I mean, I guess if they're legitimate, good for you. You're blowing pretty much every grind spot out of the water, including endgame shit like Hexe. Congratulations, you beat the game. Grind Blood Wolves till your eyes bleed because literally nothing...
