Are we planning on making our own guild, or latching onto someone else?

Looks like Azena is going to be the largest server but followed very, very closely by Regulus. Just an FYI.

Something that should tank Amazon stock price.

In fairness, most of us have no idea what we're getting into. Seems like the game has about a hundred different systems and currencies, and we don't know what matters and when. Part of it is that we're getting a game already developed, one where the developer has insisted the publisher release...

Thought I had read that queues were region specific and not server?

Just for the head start. And it sounds like everyone is saying it doesn't matter.

I was going to go with bronze. I may just forego it completely depending on when we decide to leave and just pick up the game fresh when we get back. I do enjoy a good release rush, and I'm retired so I can make the most of it, but if I only get 2-4 days to play and then have to shelve it for a...

Got kind of excited about this after watching some videos, and tempted to get the founders pack, but ironically I think we're going to end up on the road sometime next week. So I'd be paying for the early access and then stopping at release to probably pick it back up a week later. Not sure...

Same here in Florida. Gonna drop the highs into the 50's in a few days. Fucking winter storms!

Man, that red candle on Meta. That's hilarious.

I was more wondering about the part where they made it sound like they took on the mighty French in battle and succeeded. Looked it up and they got fucking steamrolled. Unsurprisingly. Looks like the French suffered about 4x as many casualties from disease in Africa than they did at the hands...

From the sounds of it their naming system is dog shit, so more than likely nearly every character I have will have something ridiculous. But yeah, that was my actual question...whether 3 days makes any difference. Not whether $15 is worth it. It doesn't seem like you get anything worthwhile...

Is this thing really worth $15 to play 3 days early?

So what you're saying is inflation is going to get a LOT worse.

I think the problem with a lot of new ones is it's all CGI gibs which just doesn't look the same as practical effects.

Taylor Sheridan is just a really good writer. Something that should be easy but apparently eludes most screenwriters is having characters with consistent principles who you can somewhat predict how they would act. And then having them evolve throughout the journey the show/movie takes you on...

That's one of the reasons I stopped. I got to about GS 550 and just thought...why am I doing this? There's no noticeable difference in content you can complete as your gear score goes up. The power curve doesn't exist once you hit max level. So if they bump it up to 700, why would I assume it...

There a class overview that's not an hour long YouTube video?

I still like whip just for the heal.

Not a fan of that kind of system either. The one where you need to plan out what you're going to want 6 months in advance, because fucking it up means you're fucked forever unless you spend months fixing it.

I hate their system even without items blowing up. Going from a III to a II when trying to upgrade to IV is shit. It makes you weaker for trying to play the game. That's shit gameplay.

You're really not selling me on this game. The more you explain, the shittier it sounds.

One of the first things I looked at with buying our last two houses was the orientation. 50+ years ago they made sure houses were built facing north/south. At some point retarded builders started building east/west, which is incredibly energy inefficient.

Sounds like maybe Admin is going on Galatur. There are other big streamers too though, like shroud, with a significantly larger follower count. I imagine this won't be like New World where you can avoid it completely.

So... Regulus? I'm assuming everyone is deferring to someone like @Raes who will probably put in way more time than anyone else with this.

Had what I thought was going to be an amazing run, but it really didn't want to give me Ebony birds until the very very end (had a level 1 one early, but couldn't max it til about min 28). 5 evolves, and I had hoped the last would be a fire wand (for 6), but then I saw Lancet so I figured I'd...

Reversion to the mean (edit: Shit, @Sanrith Descartes beat me to that in a reply). It's been said many, many times, but pretty much no fund manager can beat the market return long term. Sure, you get some that can beat it one year. There are a couple rockstars who beat it for maybe 3 or 4 years...

Apparently a SpaceX rocket launched back in 2015 is expected to hit the moon. I'm amazed at how improbable that is. Unfortunately it'll be on the far side so we won't see the crater.

Well shit, we're almost to 4450 at the open.

I lied, played a bit more yesterday. I wish the 30 minute thing wasn't such a bullshit mechanic. Apparently there are two weapons you can get that can help you make it past that point, but you don't always have them as an option, which is also bullshit. Anyway, I had a super good one last...

I watched tons of movies from before I was born. It's most of what I watched growing up.

Left to go hang some garage storage before the Fed meeting. Come back and everyone is talking about how everything is fine and the Fed said nothing of importance. Meanwhile the market took a massive shit and I can't figure out what happened?

Played about 30 minutes and almost refunded it (yeah, even for $3). Then I played a bit more and it was fun...except I "beat" it (lasted 30 minutes) after a bit over 2 hours total playtime. Can't really convince myself it play anymore. In fact, if you can make it to 20 minutes, you're...

Feel like someone posted that a year or two ago. Could've been somewhere not FoH though.

I think CGI heavy actually works in favor of quicker post production. It was brought up during Black Widow that essentially all the CGI had been done beforehand, which is why you can just plug in same rando director who's never done anything, because the movie is basically already made and you...

Jesus, so you're trading your entire net worth? Not just that, but your family's too?

Are they doing it with their entire portfolio though, or just play money? From what everyone has said, they're mostly invested for the long haul in index funds, and this is all just for fun with maybe 5-10% at the most in trading.

And those people probably won't buy back in until we reach a new ATH. If I hadn't seen it happen so many times, I'd be shocked by it.

For as much bear talk as I do, keep in mind my wife and I are all in on total market funds and despite it all, we still hold for the long term. I'd love it if this is the biggest pullback we see, because at some point this year we need to pull out some money for 2023's living expenses. But I...

Well that's definitely a good sign. I wonder what the delta between that and the ones that closed is.
