Feel like many said similar years and years ago. The giant map thing I've just never understood. Giant maps just mean lots of empty wasted space.

Man, saw this thread get bumped and I was like...holy shit, how is this show still on? Then I saw it's only on season 5? I watched season one and it was good, but I remember quitting very early on season 2 (think my wife finished it). But that was a decade ago. 5 seasons in a decade? What the shit?

At this point I don't even know where del Toro gets this mythical director status from. Feels like it's just nerds who liked Hell Boy, or because Pan's Labyrinth was good looking. But I look at his works and not only am I unimpressed, I'm confused.

It's funny, RLM posted a video today about how October's box office was the worst in 30 years. One of the movies they talked about at the end was a horror Kickstarter by some YouTube guy, and they highlighted a comment someone made about how "we shouldn't criticize it because then people won't...

I think Burry knows that being correct is the smallest portion of it, and the timing is what's really important. So yeah, I'd agree that those are absolutely concerns. I'm not sure they pan out within 2 years. Likely why his bet isn't actually that big.

So it seems like what really happened is Burry made a small stake bet on the AI bubble crashing within the next two years. If it doesn't, he's not even losing very much. The difference in my opinion between this and 2008 is that investors are betting that AI makes the industrial revolution look...

Now that I'm a day and a half removed from it, yeah, I think I was just unprepared for the whole thing. I definitely got way too high, but I don't think I was in the right mental headspace for it which led to some anxiety. I'm pretty annoyed that people can take half a gummy and get that high...

It's not TV, it's HBO? That whole sequence at the bar and then that dude's house was fucking wild. I don't even know what else to say about it.

Shit, I already forgot about that show. Yeah, it was great.

It'll be interesting if they pull it off. Reminds me a bit of For All Mankind in the first season or two. Shit, you could probably replace hive mind for AI and have an even more relevant show in current year. At this very moment I have no idea where this story will go though, which is kind of...

I like that instead of discussing how awful a 60 second TTK would be, we're instead talking about lguk mobs. The combat in MnM isn't engaging in any ways. Even the people who like the game admit that. You can alt tab out of the game unless you're the healer. The idea that you just want to bash...

Like I said, at this point I'm pretty sure I've never actually been high until this week. Whatever effects I had in high school weren't it. Nor all the gummies and shit I tried in the last month. If what I had today is just "high" and includes hallucinations, travelling to different planes of...

That's the weird part. My tripping was just with a single bong hit. Two days ago combining them was a much more pleasant experience. I did try a different strain, but still indica.

So apparently I've never actually been high before. The other day I took a bong hit, felt okay, and took an edible a bit later. I think maybe my THC receptors just weren't working, but it finally activated them. It all sort of clicked and made it easier to understand why people get high. I...

Oh, I'm smoking outside. I just mean my containers make the whole house smell. I figured putting them in a ziploc bag would help but it does nothing.

Finally smoked some. Went with a bong since that's what my friends growing up had. Still trying to figure it out though since it's been something like 23 years. My first go at it I think I packed too big of a bowl (red biscotti), and took one huge bong rip and coughed my fucking head off...

I'm not sure about that. There's a comfort, at least for me, that if there were a world ending event that killed everyone that I wouldn't care because we're all dead. That part of death where you're concerned about your loved ones and everyone else moving on without you suddenly isn't a...

Is it just me, or did they make all the brown people essentially no apple retards who can't actually understand the gravity of the situation (they don't seem to understand free will)?

Well, this wasn't really on my radar, but I guess I'm in to watch it. It better not suck.

7 year gain in 5 years is a giant oof. Talk about purchasing power going into the toilet.

I hate to say it, especially because I feel like most people invest too conservatively, but if it's stressing you out that much it may be a sign that you're invested too aggressively. Have you considered taking up a position in a non-equity asset?

People keep talking about the game "the devs want to make" while ignoring that the game is being marketed to people that aren't the devs. If the devs just wanted to make a game for a dozen devs to play, we wouldn't have this thread. It seems like an irrelevant talking point. The game the devs...

Him explaining the whole thing to his daughter floored me.

I feel like this has come up so many times over the last decade. If it's not detached from the US economy, what's the point? I still contend that the only people still touting Bitcoin are doing it because they see it as an investment, and convincing more people about how amazing it is means...

If you have raids, they will have the best loot. If they didn't no one would bother with the raids at all. It's just a fact. It's why everyone ends up funneling into the same few areas in these types of games, and why making a massive world is meaningless. Your players will go to where the best...

I feel like the vendor thing is one of those things that makes sense in a realism sense, and is a neat "feature" when you first start. But eventually it becomes tiresome. People will say it's not a big deal to run to a dozen different vendors to sell shit, but after a while it's just tedium. You...

It's going to be a shit show. In alpha there are already (and have been for like 2 months) people camping out for the level 20ish world boss. In alpha. For a level 20 boss.

I'm not sure I've ever seen people go from "this game is going to be awesome" to just complete frustration and contempt as fast as I have with this one.

So I knew about Space Cop, but for some reason I got a recommended thing for a clip from Gorilla Interrupted, and it's blown my mind. So I started searching for stuff from it.

Wasn't he predicting a massive crash years and years ago? Feel like he's one of those "predict a crash every year and celebrate when it finally hits" guys now. Yeah, he made a good call in 2008, but that shit was obvious. I remember calling it out on the Fatwallet forums sometime around 2006.

I overthink things. Probably why I kind of like it so much, and why it works so well for PTSD. Allows me to finally turn the brain volume down a bit. With how expensive this shit is, I don't want to waste my money though. So I research. I don't want to even get started on the anxiety I have...

So these gummies are such a crapshoot, think I'm going to end up buying some buds at some point in the next week or two (likely after my actual card comes in). I didn't realize you needed to "prepare" it before smoking though. Would I be okay just finding any smoke shop and buying a grinder, or...

On the flip side, Netflix started this whole streaming thing and did it because they had tons of catalogues they could offer. You can say it's not good because Netflix is super woke, but are they really anymore moreso than the rest of Hollywood?

I mean, you see my point I hope? That show was on 25 years ago. You're hoping to see the tits of someone who was in their 20s who's now in their 50s. Hell, even Lucy Lawless was in her early 40s for Spartacus. I guess if you're really into old chicks though, you do you.

That's my problem with these games. It's similar to the deep desert in the Dune game. Actually, it's almost an identical problem. You're better off going in with nothing. But if that's the case, what's the gameplay loop? Go in with nothing so you can build shit that then sits in your storage...

Had to look up who this was. She's 53 and...not exactly a looker. What the fuck am I missing here?

This is what I worry about. The map seemed very small in that play test. And if I'm just running that over and over? Hopefully there's more they didn't show.

Gummies are becoming really frustrating for me. The Tums thing worked the one time, and then not really since. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat or don't eat beforehand, it seems like a crapshoot. But on top of all that, I'm up to 15mg and still it seems like a "maybe" if it does anything. I do...

I thought the same a couple weeks ago with my TSP transfer when the market was about 6600. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Maybe we get a 20% correction but not until we go up another 30%. Stranger things have happened.

All that friction we keep talking about. The core gameplay I found very fun, but all the roadblocks to get to it made me nope out. I feel bad because I got an alpha key and even with unlimited playtime, I just never play it. It's not worth my time. And so yeah, when they decide to add a...
