    https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/performance-and-risk/31635T104# Is this a good place to shove some of my excess cash for a while? Like 100-200k that's not doing anything.

    Oh cool, I had clicked through that in my Steam queue because I thought it was a Tower Defense game. You may now resume making fun of Amouranth for being a stupid whore. Carry on.

    Playstation 5

    After trying for such a long time, I successfully got a PS5 Digital Edition from Walmart.com today. Not really sure why I bought it. Says it arrives July 14th and I might cancel it, I kinda wanted the disc version and even then, I'm not sure why I wanted a PS5 in the first place. I feel like...

    Battlefield 2042

    Anyone notice in the gameplay trailer when the tanks deploy that the music suddenly shifts to a very Command & Conquer style soundtrack briefly before reverting back? How awesome would a Battlefield: Command & Conquer crossover game be? I know they tried to make a sequel to C&C Renegade at one...

    If you can't expand/uncombine taskbar buttons I'm gonna be really pissed. It seems so far like it's really just a UI skin.

    Welp, this is gonna be a fantastic year if you're an indie dev, the big studios basically have nothing.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy GOTG from Square Enix

    That dialogue and voice acting is fucking horrible. Conversation wheel seems like a fantastic implementation though.

    The client's network vendor was Tata Consultancy, pretty much the worst of the worst Indian IT vendors. Tata spent 2 weeks forcing us to replace the voice gateways on site 3 times (twice via courier, from CT to the very center of NYC, on two consecutive weekends) before they admitted they have...

    The E3 2021 Thread

    The writing, VA and dialogue gets way better in the DLC, looking forward to the next game. I feel like they didn't know what they were doing when they first built out the main stretch of the base game, basically everything between Meridian and Sunfall, then went back and developed and recorded...

    The E3 2021 Thread

    There's still more great AAA games coming out each year than I have actual time to play, so I'm not sure I get the complaint? My backlog of just AAA titles is ridiculous and that's not even counting all the PS4 exclusives I didn't play because I haven't had a PS since the PS3 60GB.

    Battlefield 2042

    I'm still unconvinced that adding even more players will actually make the game more fun, considering I've had the most fun lately playing Titanfall 2 which is only 6v6, and the best Battlefield game (BC2) did not have particularly large maps either.

    Battlefield 2042

    They said that no gameplay features, like maps, weapons or kits introduced in the season passes, would require you to pay. The season passes are like Fortnite, you pay for the premium tier that has more cosmetic unlocks.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It has the same production length as any majora AAA title. Work started in 2017, announcement in 2019, release in 2022. That's 5 years from start of work, 3 years from announcement.

    I think my original post was misinterpreted. I was not saying there was a high rate of unqualified people who'd taken that career path upwards, just that the subset who were dumb were really dumb.

    Jack Dorsey is very smart. He invests a lot of his time and money into developing Square into a better platform, because he knows it is very valuable. He invests basically nothing into improving Twitter, because he knows it is inherently worthless.

    I'm just saying, maybe murder rate is a bad metric. If it's mostly criminals killing other criminals, that's a good way to keep the criminal population low.
