If we found another interesting planet with life on it and decided to set up shop and observe it from as safe a distance as possible with our drones, where would WE set up shop? That's right: On the planet's perfectly geosynchronous moon, one side of which the planet's inhabitants can't even see.

Sounds good to me. I certainly learned my NAV lesson from buying ZNTE at $13 or $14. I still have it, too, hoping for it to go somewhere the same way Sam Beckett hoped for a leap home. Here's what I've still got for SPACs, lotta NAV here: I'm trying to move more into crypto at this point...

On another topic, does anyone have any idea WTF the Black Knight Satellite is? Thing's been orbiting Scandinavia / the arctic for 12-13,000 years. Maybe it already got discussed here, don't know.

I've always figured (at least for a decade or so) that these super-fast UFOs were more likely to be drones than to have pilots. Look at our military moving in the direction of drones and automated pilots as quick as it can. All of our expeditions to other planets (rovers, mosquito, etc) are...

Those are pretty rad. I checked out JM Bullion and the prices are nuts for platinum coins, but man are they appealing. I'm in a silver mood and used to collect coins myself. Last coin I bought was a 2020 gold Trump dollar because I had a feeling they'd disappear off the face of the Earth within...

It's definitely the time for buying. Over in the crypto arena everything is down across the board tonight too. I wish I had more money freed up so I could splurge.

I assume most people here know this already: The out-of-Africa theory seems to be bunk at this point since modern human fossils have been found in Europe that easily pre-date the earliest modern human fossils in Africa by like half a million years or more. Regardless of where people come from...

BTNB pop off when?? I bought in at like $13, then bought in a lot more at $10.40 or so. I've been hovering around 90% of my investment for weeks, as a result. When is the champagne party?

How secure is Coinbase? As in, people who have large sums of money in their Coinbase wallet, what are the odds of getting hacked and losing your life savings?

Put $700k in Ethereum, stake it, and live off of the 10% interest per year. Keep the other $309k for other things / backup / stocks. I have no idea if this krazy plan would actually work.

I'm liking the sound of all of this. Was already thinking about staking ethereum once I'm done buying. I've only got like $700 in it now because I spread the money around. Most of it went to BTC and the rest got split between Eth, Maker, Mana, Dash, and ADA. So my idea is to drop another $1300...

Who is this doofus downvoting everyone?

Soon as I realized ADA was on regular Coinbase today I grabbed it. Big buy at $1.28, going to hang onto that for a while. When ETH becomes ETH 2.0, is everyone's existing holding in ETH going to just convert over to the new one? I'm interested to see what kind of a jump ETH gets out of this.

I've got four working laptops here to potentially mine. One of them is pretty beat-up and needs like $500 in repairs so I probably wouldn't use that one. The other 3 are all modern (two high-spec 2020 Lenovos, one mid-spec 2018 Lenovo). It'd obviously be a lot better if they were desktops, but I...

This is the best evidence I've seen for the "modern humans came here from another planet" idea. Or some modern humans, anyway. See: Xenogears and stories like that. It's an interesting idea since we're so different from most of the planet. That we were put here, or fled here from somewhere else...

Good. I'd like to see them work on FF16 and FF7R-2, -3, etc instead of piecemealing it out like FF15. I couldn't stand how FF15 went. The game itself was alright, but it was clearly EXTREMELY unfinished. It looked like around 80% of the game world had been cut (going off of early concept world...

Guard Scorpion is also probably the toughest (or most drawn-out) fight as a new player. Nothing else is remotely that difficult until Air Buster which is like 25% of the way through the entire game. There are some real layers to the combat in this one. Even after I beat the game (on Easy) I...

"Firiona sports a dong" would get EQ so much mainstream coverage from Kotaku etc with headlines like "One of the MMO greats makes a MUCH-needed and long-overdue change". Washington Post might even cover it if the head dev was a lady. "A Female Game Developer Took A Bold Step. Online Trolls...

I had the same realization at around the same time. Here we had a massive amount of interest being generated by new servers. Tons of people returning to the game, despite a complete lack of marketing. Just word of mouth and people loyal to EQ bringing the game back to life once again. ...and...

Just gave Wal-mart a stab at 3:40 and it's got an "add to cart" option but it says out of stock after I click that. I'll try a few more times. Still nothing on Amazon. Not a big deal though.

Not sure about that. I don't have PS+ and there are a bunch of games I got on PS+ that are locked out now. They have a lock symbol on them and it says I need a PS+ subscription. I might get PS+ this month just for Rez and Subnautica. Depends on if Rez is playable without VR. I loved the PS2...

Yeah, back in the day I had PS+ subbed for a long time and accumulated a lot of free games. For the cost of a game rental at Blockbuster you'd get two games a month and they were often really good / high-profile ones. I haven't been subbed regularly for a few years now because nowayears I have...

In-store or online?

Might try to grab another PS5 on Amazon today. They're adding a ton of stock. I have no idea when in the day this is happening, though, so I'll probably miss it.

The problem is that they can't revert Freeport for an event server without doing it on all servers. Which would be great if they did that, but waaaay too many later quests are tied into New Freeport. Those quests would be totally messed-up by a reversion. PoR would be thrown into chaos. Yeah, a...

Definitely Bard. Unless the alt could develop into your new main, in which case SK or Paladin. The only "weak point" of your group is the lack of knight. However if your Ranger is gonna be raid geared and capable of tanking and you just want an alt, Bard would enhance everybody.

Just bear in mind that if you level with this method, your skill levels are going to be pretty far behind and you're basically going to suck until you fight for a while and catch your weapon skills up.

Is it still a good idea to buy into ZNTE? It's hovering around NAV, so I'm considering another buy there. It's been hovering for a while with little action, though, so I'm not super-confident that it's going anywhere at this point. If there's still a good chance it'll pop, then this is the...

I'm trying to get rid of Stash as a trading platform because of the huge delays in getting funds back from them (usually takes me about 10 days to get paid after I sell something and cash out). They also made GME closing-only at the same time that Robinhood did (of course, Robinhood took like...

I'd hold it on an indefinite basis. I.e. a year or more. I think it's going to end up in the 500's eventually, going off of similar cryptos. It might dip for a while in the springtime if BTC does but don't panic. I'm hoping it does so I can buy back in at .40 or .50. Shame that I sold my initial...

The thing about all of this is that it never quite makes you happy (at least in my experience so far). When something loses money for you, you feel bad / dumb for getting it. I took a bath on GME, Dogecoin, and Lordstown. Now I feel like shit for losing all that money. At the same time, the...

Yep, I was telling people MANA seemed like the score and it blew away my expectations. I just wish I hadn't sold so early because it's at 2x what it was when I sold mine (and 5x what I bought it for). Now I have to try and figure out when to buy back in. I don't even know what "the dip" is now...

The way you can be every class on one character is easily the most interesting thing about FF14 for me and I'm actually surprised I've never played the game now that I think about it. It's got like everything I want in an MMO. Playing a zerker in EQ (one of the most one-dimensional classes) I...

This is what I was thinking. People have to wait until Monday for a stock purchase to go through. Who has the patience for that? Crypto is going to jump a lot more than it would have if the stimulus dropped on a weekday.

I've had situations happen where I ended up in Old Oasis after crashing during an instance that closed when I was gone, but only some of the time. Not sure how to reproduce it now or even if it's still possible. I believe it's related to LDON. It was pretty awesome when it happened, and the zone...

Wonder how much BTC etc are gonna spike once stimulus checks go out this weekend. Not sure if I'll sell at all once that happens or just hang on for the ride. MANA hasn't declined at all for me to rebuy it, and just keeps going up...

I got BDO for free on console so it's no loss to uninstall it and get it on PC instead. FF14 on the other hand I bought the full edition so I'm definitely playing that on the PS5. Not gonna lie, I mainly got BDO for all of the hot chix in the game. Once EQ runs its course (which I think we're...

Downloaded this and FF14 on my PS5. Would love to get into both of them. The time requirement for both is daunting though, so I haven't started yet. When I was a kid I had tons of time but no money or games, now I've got plenty of money and games but no time for any of them. It sucks. I might...

Same here, except I liked the movie. The girl in question was into it because of the soundtrack, which was full of things like The Shins and Postal Service IIRC. There was a certain nostalgia to all of it even then, and I also got fuzzy feelings at that soundtrack after I heard it a couple of...

Weird, I invested in Lordstown right off the bat back in January. I talked to people from Ohio who said an entire town's economy was basically Lordstown Motors so it wasn't going anywhere. Read that they were entering production for electric vehicles in March and had secured the patents. Dropped...
