I thought the chances were over 50% now?

CPI: +0.1%, 4% annual Core CPI: +0.4%, 5.3% annual

Been using Tweaknews for something like 7ish years? I didn't renew and 3 days later they sent me an offer for $3.99 a month, without a download cap (I think I had 10mb or some number of connections before), and a VPN. Curious what you're using that's never changed and is cheaper than that...

That's the feeling most investors who have only been at it for a few years to a decade have. The reality is the market is typically trading within I think 10% of the all time high something ridiculous like 80-90% of the time. We likely push close to the all time high sometime this year. We may...

I mean, sure, if you ignore all the people who have put 50-100+ hours into it saying the builds are boring, the combat sucks, the story is the worst they've ever seen, the itemization is uninspired, and the game has no distinguishable areas.

Eh, I'm not going to give a game studio the benefit of the doubt for something they did over a decade ago.

So in a few threads it's been brought up that gamers aren't designing games anymore. This bodes pretty well I think...

"Just let us have this one thing." Is this troon fucking serious? This is why I fight every little piece of woke there is as if they're the most important issue on the planet. Fuck these people. No more death by a thousand cuts, "just this one more thing."

Small caps probably doing better than large? Edit: Nevermind, didn't realize QQQ had only about 100 holdings too. No clue. Edit2: So best I can tell, some of the "Nasdaq" quotes we see (like from Google, and actually, I think that's the only place I see it, and only when I search for the S&P...

The boarding the ships things felt like one of those features that's fun the first time and then you dread having to do it every subsequent time because it just takes too damn long.

Whoever ends up taking Korean graphics and combat and puts a western system underneath it all will print money.

And this is why I made such a big deal about not buying it right away. In two weeks the shine not only wore off, but it sounds like this is a game most won't even play once seasons roll around. Ironically enough, I think the $70 price tag is what saved me from this. Even at $50 I probably...

That's kind of how NMS is. World feels super lonely. Only place that's really lively is the Anomaly, and that'll be like Alpha Centauri or whatever it was they said was there main city place. Except in NMS you do occasionally run into other player's stuff. Especially when they release a new...

Not to derail this thread with Starfield stuff, but one of the things I noticed was how many women Bethesda has working on the game. I don't think that bodes well. That's not to say women aren't gamers, but they also probably shouldn't be as overrepresented as they are compared to the general...

Didn't look like borrow, more like "copy paste." Maybe it's just inevitable with a space setting? Hopefully it brings more to the table.

I guess I didn't realize it's single player. What a wasted opportunity. I'm assuming they'll add it at some point since they keep talking about "friends," but they should've built this as multi from the ground up. Why bother building my giant penis ship if no one can see it from their giant...

Well this looks like they just ripped off No Man's Sky big time. Holy shit.

Is this really a player concern? Seems it's more that developers hate that they'll spend months developing a low level area that people spend about 20 minutes in and then never return.

A true prophet.

I saw someone today say that Black Desert is basically becoming a season only type of game, and I'm thinking he was right. Everything "end game" has been capped. And the new "expansion" doesn't even use your gear. So what's the point? It seems like once you hit a certain AP (somewhere between...

That was my biggest complaint with this game. The fun content was all time gated shit, mostly once a week. The unfun stuff was what you were allowed to do daily. Fuck that. I wanted to run the group and raid content. But I guess me gearing up faster than someone who only gets to raid once a...

Also curious (maybe based on how D3 was handled), are season characters going to have a separate stash from regular ones? It'd be hilarious if it was still shared (make little sense though, since you'd be able to stockpile stuff prior) and no one can play.

Why is everyone so adamant about not doing this stuff again? Sounds like everyone had finished it in under a week, so it's clearly not that big a time sink? There are dozens of posts about how it you don't like grinding the same content over and over again you don't even know what am ARPG is...

Was going to say this. And fuck reading books. Made that mistake with Game of Thrones.

Holy shit, we finally did it! Broke past that high from August 2022. Next up is April 2022 at 4631 (another 7%).

Holy shit. I found a bunch of AIM messages between my wife and I when we first started dating. Apparently it was right when Joe Schmo came out, and I made lots of jokes about it. Hopefully it comes out soon. Would be a perfect 20th anniversary present. Anyway, no Pauly Shore? No care.

We used lawn chairs for a bit. We were able to find some clearance furniture while we waited.

Not sure we could've gotten a moving truck, but they were expensive as fuck. Went with a Pod and just sold almost everything. Which in retrospect was a mistake, because we timed it with the supply chain shortages (stuff like furniture was 16 weeks delayed).

Yes, just about at the very top (October 29, 2021). The 20% haircut last year definitely hurt. Badly. But the reality is also that we only pulled out what we needed for 2023's expenses (and if you look at my posts in December, I actually pulled out less with the intention to sell enough for the...

We had earthquake insurance, with a $50k deductible. Think we paid about $500 a year for it, but it's been a long time. Our house at the time was built in 1989. ~10 miles from the 7.1 and 6.4 (although they say the energy went more NE and we were SW), and we had some light cracking in the...

I mean, that's essentially what the movie is. It's a movie about IP and worldwide distribution rights. Except it's somehow wrapped in something almost like a spy thriller. It's bizarre.

Finally got around to watching it. Kind of feels like it was something super mundane, but then they overdramatized it like crazy. I dunno, maybe some of it actually was that crazy? The fun part to me is that one of the "villains" is Robert Maxwell, who is none other than Ghislaine Maxwell's dad.

Didn't watch the video, but the flaw in that reasoning is that the amount of people that lump sum in at the very top and sell at the very bottom is so small it's also probably non existent. If you were investing at all during the in-between periods, you did well. Similarly, take someone who...

So I really enjoyed Grim Dawn, but that was years ago. Picked up Last Epoch a few months ago (whenever the multiplayer patch hit) and really enjoyed it until end game. And then I just couldn't force myself to log in anymore. It sounds like this one will be similar, where it's fun to level up...

This is the part where some shitlord comes in and says "welcome to ARPGs." Anyway, I appreciate the feedback from you and Aladain (and Voldeth in discord). I was very much waffling on it but I wanted to give people time to give opinions that aren't new game smell. And it sounds like it's really...

Really depends on who you relate to in the story. And in this case, I'd say you're right.

New World Order to Brave New World? Feels like "they're" really laying it on thick for us.

Not that I refuse to buy. I've been gathering feedback to decide if it's worth buying. And as I keep stating, it seems like the more feedback I'm seeing, the more it's looking like it's not meeting the hype. When the defense of the game is "Diablo 3 sucked at release but they sorta kinda fixed...
