    Almost definitely that people felt it wasn't woke enough. That's the story of the 2020s.

    My situation is obviously slightly different compared to you accumulators, but right now we're at about 5-6% cash. Which is the money we'll live off of for 2022. And in 2022 we'll liquidate another 4-5% to cover 2023. 5-6% is higher than we need, but it was because we planned on putting in a...

    Finally uninstalled. Don't see myself revisiting this with these developers.

    And this is why Ashes will fail, too. They're going down the exact same road, because the guy in charge is one of those people who thinks only the top tier people should be able to participate in the best content. His game will fail because of it.

    I always laugh when I see stuff like this. 30-50% dips are among the worst the market has ever seen. That's not a dip, that's a depression.

    He brings up a good point. There have been a dozen variants that no one cared about. Meanwhile Pfizer is up 6% and Modern 20% today. What makes this one special?

    Shit, left off the most relevant part of my first car story. Bought it with money I made selling my EQ character!

    Forza Horizon 5

    Yeah, I enjoyed the game but grinding out seasons seems pretty unfun. My very first car was an '89 240sx. It's god awful in this game, but man did it feel fast when I was driving it. It is kind of funny though that HokiHoshi did a video about learning to drift and that's the car he used. My...

    That's a complaint I've seen elsewhere. Shit like portals being broken for 2 (or was it 3?) weeks at launch, but anything that's a benefit to the player? Shut. It. Down. Have they even fixed those 580 weapon quests that had the bugged NPC? I know that one lasted a minimum of 6 weeks.

    I'm not sure if it's hubris, or they're just trying not to panic markets? There's no way they cannot see the obvious that we eventually have to pay the price for over a decade of QE and money injection. Maybe it's just a game of hot potato and no one wants to be the one in charge when it blows...

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    Another great episode. Glad we're getting solid Curb again. That stupid show pitch plotline with the fat Mexican girl just wasn't working, and it brought the rest of the episodes down with it. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time before they get back to it. The last two have been home runs...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The sad part is they came up with probably at least a dozen ideas that sound like brand new comedies instead of rehashes and could've worked. Get an actual writers room together and you could get an actual story. This, like most new movies, seems like it was written by a conglomerate that's...

    Well that's depressing. Although I think it was a pretty long shot that Ghostbusters 3 would be worth a shit.

    Seems like a pretty fair assessment. Essentially, the bones are there for a good game (ignoring that the "bones" includes the client side authority coding which is essentially unfixable and breaks everything), but the developers can't stop stepping on their own dicks and ruined everything. The...

    I actually have no idea what this means for the economy, as it seemed like the only thing anyone was hypothesizing about was when Powell was inevitably fired and what would happen when x person took over (like Brainard).

    I mean, if I had the resources of Pelosi (hundreds of millions), I'd probably live in California again. The taxes and general fuckiness aren't nearly as bad when they're fractions of a percent. It's honestly an amazing state to live in if not for the government. And most of those problems don't...

    It's bizarre to me they haven't merged any servers yet. There are probably between 5 and 8 servers with what'd be a "healthy" population (not full, but close to full). And then like 70 of them that are all but empty.

    Yes, they were so afraid of him that they chased him down and tried to beat the shit out of (and possibly kill) him. Had the mob wanted to, they could've easily overwhelmed him.

    Black dude just straight up lies, and Maher says the incredibly bold, "If the cops aren't going to do the job, the answer can't be the citizens have full police power." You fucking what? So...just lawlessness then?

    Our bug out location is my wife's uncle (assuming we can make it there with the interstates not being a shit show). Guy has a pistol mounted above every door in the house (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc). Guy has far more ammo and weapons than anyone I know. I'm thinking we'll have to take the leap...

    It's not really completely apples to apples, but we had M4's and M9's as our "battle kit." The M9 was basically only for when someone was on top of you (just before you go to hand to hand), or if you're just totally fucked and out of ammo for any other options. There's a reason you see the...

    Really I think the bulk of it can be explained by "too much money." We're printing trillions that is injected into the economy and ultimately ends up in the market or company balance sheets. And the Fed is still injecting trillions more, and has been for a decade.

    Unfortunately, no. The last couple years have proven it takes a lot for the "right" to do what needs to be done. This barely registers. We've got a lot more pain to come before his fears come true.

    Wow, went over to the Reddit for it, which almost always has people excusing shit for the developers and it's 100% negative. This game is dead. Less than 50k players in US East on a Friday evening. Shit, my server is at 25% capacity apparently. None of them are at capacity.
