    It hasn't gone up THAT much, though... unless it really was super low during the first stimulus check and thus the weight of that investment is the main thing catapulting this number upwards. Personally I got it in January after that second green dot. Bought at .07, sold at .05 after watching it...

    SPAC & IPO Ideas

    I have to say my confidence in SPACs is a bit wobbly given the general lack of activity from buyers and the SPACs themselves. If I were to only keep two of the three I have (BTNB, XPOA, PSTH) which should I drop? Obvious answer is "whichever I'd lose the least by dropping" which would be XPOA...

    I know the sun is just kinda "dragging" everything through space with it and that's why the orbits are so weird. BUT WHAT IF

    The Astronomy Thread

    Great video here as usual from this channel. I gotta wonder if the "primordial black hole" idea is the reason why some of our planets have oval orbits instead of circular, because something heavy is pulling them a bit in one direction as they go around the sun. Just a random theory/thought

    And then there's the Armor of Experience vet reward as well. Yeah, it's nuts, practically cheating. However, lategame TLP, especially short-turnaround time expacs like Burning Lands, tanks have to pretty much use all of the above to survive some fights.

    I didn't know people could just refuse to return things that were erroneously delivered to them, with no repercussions. Just another symptom of our crumbling society. Anyway I just got the C1 65", think I made the right choice. It was either that or an A90J 55", since the Sony has feet instead...

    I considered getting Doge at 40 since Elon is hosting SNL and Doge is getting FOMO'd. Now I wish I had, at least for the week. Still think it's a joke currency though, and the way I've seen it get pushed in the media lately as the "hot new thing" has really given me pause. I wonder if Doge is a...

    More negative press on the G1... starting to think I'm lucky it's taken so long to be in stock. Looks like it's basically the same thing as the C1 side-by-side and the wall mounting is a PITA. It was a cool idea and I was looking forward to impressing chix with gallery mode, but I think I'm...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah, later expansions, especially the TBS/TSS area, seem to be all about melee DPS. It's pretty weird when zerkers and monks are solo-plowing mobs better than a necro can, but I remember stuff like that happening with raid-geared meleers post-65. It's absolutely meleequest by then. Note: Necros...

    One thing is for sure, I've never needed more money as much as I do right now. Trying to build a mining rig, have like no Ethereum so I want to buy into that, trying to get a new TV, trying to move, paying off a car... One or more of my current SPACs blowing up would help a lot with all of...

    Just remember that you probably would have sold them well before now. A few months ago when they spiked to 8 cents, that was huge. Could have cashed out then for $80k. Every time I see something that's like "if I'd bought X thing I wanted to buy, when I wanted to buy it, it'd be worth Y now" I...

    The Sony A90J has flat feet that are flush with the TV, meaning the whole thing looks really good on a TV stand (like it's sitting directly on the stand). Good for people without a soundbar to obscure the view of all of the cords behind the TV, since you can't see under it. I should probably get...

    Cutting a square in the wall for the recessed box is a massive no from me, dawg. I was worried about just putting a normal TV mount up and having holes in the wall from that. My plan was to have one of those cord-hiding things running down the wall with the cords stored in it...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    GoD has some of the best raids in the game. It's where EQ really starts to get good, which is why it's baffling that most people quit before they get to it. The era of Secrets of Faydwer (level 80) through Rain of Fear (level 100) also contains a lot of great raids. Probably the game's best era...

    Patience aside, I'm considering just going with the C1 myself at this point. Not sure how keen I am on G series wall-mounting. The wall has studs and it's pretty safe for a wall mount, but I've never done that with a TV and I might constantly be worried about it falling or something. Maybe more...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I know what you mean. I've done almost every raid in EQ in-era except for a couple of exceptions that nag at me: Veeshan's Peak (Kunark) Garudon (Kunark?) LDON raids Well, the last one doesn't nag at me, the other two kind of do

    Dark Souls

    Update: My second plat of Dark Souls 2 went well and was a lot easier than the SOTFS version. At the end of NG, got every trophy except Vendrick who I keep losing to. And of course the couple of spell ones that take NG++. If I ever beat Vendrick, I can go to NG+ and probably fly through that in...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah, that was the lame part of chanter. You can't do ANYTHING else while in a group because you're always waiting for charm breaks. If I needed to AFK I'd break charm before I AFK'd and long-duration mezz/root it. Which gave me like, 2 entire minutes to do something else and run back, but it...

    Health Problems

    I think you're onto something here. I've heard that circumcision can and does damage the frenulum, which is the most sensitive part. I got circumsized pretty late, as I mentioned before. Now that I'm paying more attention to it, the frenulum has like nonexistent sensitivity wheras when I was...

    I'm goin' Necro for this one. Friend who hasn't played in a while is gonna static-run with me Day 1 at least to level 30ish (and catch up later). I'm going to try to go balls to the wall to 50, though I wasn't able to do that on Aradune. Pretty much crapped out around level 42 and had to go to...

    This is kinda what I want to do, build a big mining-dedicated computer. Except I was gonna go with 3-4 video cards (whatever I can fit in one tower), not 14. Factoring in electricity cost, roughly how long will your setup take to pay for itself? For my part I got kind of scared off of the idea...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Sounds like playing them out of order is a bad idea, and going back to the old ones after the new ones is a bad idea too. If the QOL is that drastic, I'll play them in chronological order. Still considering leaving out Generations and/or MH4, but I don't want to just skip right to the latest two...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I've talked about this already a few months/posts up in this very thread but I've got a question, which MH games were worth playing. I'm definitely playing World/Iceborne, but I'm a fan of playing an entire series (within reason) once I get into something. I was thinking I'd start with Monster...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I mentioned this in the PS5 thread, maybe someone here can help out: Whenever I play Mario Kart 8 on the Switch, I have serious drifting issues. The controller will either bank sharply in one direction (usually left) at random times, or it'll slightly veer in one direction consistently for...

    Yeah, I don't really want to do another TLP long-term, though this is coming up on the "end" of Phinny so who knows. Right now my plan is to play classic and see how much plat I can make farming/wheeling/dealing with this new loot system. I'll hardcore it in classic and then re-evaluate if I...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    There are still going to be situations where an endboss is much higher level than everything else in its expansion. Tunat is level 85, OMM is level 88 or 90, can't remember, etc. The other bosses in their respective expansions are mostly down at like level 70-75. I'm assuming loot won't be...

    That's actually a good way to get people into LDON raids (and make the four months of PoP a bit less monotonous, at least for the last month). Have LDoN raids drop Time loot, basically.

    The only controller I've had major drift issues with was the joy-con. Had to return mine to Nintendo last year because it was basically unplayable. Weird thing is, with the brand-new joy-cons I STILL have drifting issues, but only when I play Mario Kart 8. Every other Switch game is fine. Kart...

    BTNB, PSTH, XPOA for me. I'd like to get BTWN and GSAH (which I had for a while) but I'm now more in the camp of "have more in a smaller number of things and hope for the best". Rather than splitting the same amount 5 or 6 ways I'll split it 2 or 3 at the most. Unfortunately I can't drop 100k on...

    VET just about back where it was when I sold pre-emptively before the Biden speech and re-bought on the dip the next day. Taking fees into account, I'm up 13-15% from where I was previously at this point. Weathering a dip feels like finally successfully executing a parry/riposte in a Souls game

    Speaking of pains in the ass, is the Shrine of Amana the worst area in the entire Soulsborne series or what? Good God.

    In DkS I got 3 of the 4 primal bonfires lit, only missing the fire fortress (Iron Keep?) to be done. However I hit a bit of a wall with Huntsman's Copse.

    RIP, this thread~ My Souls 2 Demake run has been interesting. I thought it was the weakest Souls game the first time around and this run has confirmed it.
