    Let's go MATIC! Right now things are stalled. Checking for a spike mid-day on a weekday is a pointless thing to do though. Edit: MATIC finally back down to 1.51...maybe I should have seized the 1.58 last night and called it a day. Noticed it bounced upward off of 1.50 pretty hard this morning...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Posted this in the Political Memes thread but it belongs here too. The 2012 Olympics COVID stuff reminds me of how 9/11 is visible on American currency printed from 1996 onward. You don't even need to have an "active imagination" or use it. The images are so blatantly obvious that every time...

    MATIC running for me here. I opted back in earlier as I was thinking about before. Went back in at 1.51 (also what I sold at) with the same funds plus TrueBit's moved-over funds. 1.57 now, been slow and steady since the Europe market woke up. Gonna keep watching this like a hawk. Up about $400...

    I checked in a few times and it was wobbling between $55 and $140 throughout the day. Eventually I just wanted to get the transaction done. At one point the day before I saw a $400 something fee on there. My fees were 70/75/125 IIRC. There should be a neon sign on there telling people to raise...

    Metroid Dread

    There we go, beat him, took about an hour and a half of tries like other people have mentioned. Not bad at all once I got all of the telegraphs, and the projectiles healing you in phase 1 and 3 made things a lot easier. Once I got it, I was able to consistently beat phase 1 without even getting...

    One thing is for sure, when I started doing this 9 months ago, I read somewhere (maybe here) that chasing meme coins was a good way to get poor quick. I think that's very true, and the surest avenue to success in this field is to be patient and turn down the greed. It's possible to luck out with...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's what I'll end up doing once I have the pieces where I want them. When BTC/ETH were in a price range I could jump in at, the alts I had weren't in a price range I could sell them at. It's the circle of life. After getting VET into positive, MATIC well into positive, and Truebit almost...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Currently, traditional banks are what most people need to withdraw to. Crypto exchanges taking entire days to perform a transaction with traditional banks, regardless of whose fault it is, makes this harder for normies to use. Though I see what you're saying, crypto-to-crypto wallet transactions...

    Bro, reading comprehension. I didn't say I was doing an emergency money withdrawal. I said if other people need to do an emergency money withdrawal from a crypto exchange. Like if someone has some massive emergency car repair expense and needs to pull money from their crypto, and it takes DAYS...

    I've put aside this afternoon to beat the final boss of Dread. I'm amazed at how little I feel like doing this. I've never had trouble getting motivated to fight the final boss of a game before, ever, much less one from my favorite series of all time. It feels like I need to get this out of the...

    In other news, withdrawing from Binance for the first time in like six months (Uniswap gas fees fucked up my checking acct a bit so I'm replacing the money I used by taking some from Binance, then putting it back into Binance next paycheck). Is it supposed to take a super-long time? I put the...

    Yeah MATIC hasn't gone up much past 1.50 so it's uncharacteristically low relative to the numbers BTC and ETH are putting out. In April when both were slightly lower than they are now, MATIC followed suit by hitting 2.70. 2.70. I'm probably going to hold on and wait for the next big dip though...

    Earlier today I was looking at possibilities to put some of my 100% USD into for swing trading while I wait for a BTC or ETH lull. Top of the list for me was Solana. Looks like it went up about 12% since then, so I wish I'd followed my nose. Most of the big players have dipped a little bit in...

    Yeah and a lot of those are on Rampage, which has quickly turned into a B-show due to the death timeslot. As much as I like AEW, I would do a lot of things differently.

    Yeah I wasn't crazy about the later boss fights, specifically all of the black venom spitting Chozo Warriors (you fight the same one 3x IIRC) and the flying mega-bee. All I can say is get really good at air-dashing. The good news is that once you get good at defeating the venom-spitting Chozo...

    100% in USD now (well, USDT) for the first time all year. Going to either swing trade a bit or find something safe to leave this in while I wait for BTC to dip. Problem is, nearly everything is up across the board, so anywhere you stash, there's a good possibility of a decline. Shiba Inu has...

    Yeah, I was also doing some google-fu and thought it was probably slippage. I'm cranking the slippage up to 10% and trying that, we'll see if it actually works. ..............annnnnnd it worked that time. $128 miner fee, added to the $140 I already blew on it today, so a loss of $270 on...

    Can you bros tell me what this means so I can avoid it: Trying to swap TrueBit for Ethereum so I can transfer it to Binance with my other stuff. However when I do the TRU->ETH swap nothing happens, nothing except me being down another $70 from the gas charge. Down $140 for the day so far just...

    I was doing well with Truebit for a while (riding a consistent +15-30% from what I got in at) but after the recent extra-long lull it had, and reading recent posts on here, I'm starting to wonder if following him into the Truebit betting pool was the best idea. Today it's at almost exactly what...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm really liking the Switch OLED. Was well worth the $150 or however much it cost post-trade. I play portable more often than TV, and I got this just in time to see how amazing Ori looks on it. It's cool to see another portable finally achieve the same visual quality that I had on a PS Vita...

    Shiba Inu is trading on Binance as of today so it's spiking a bit. I might stick to Binance trading from now on. Uniswap is such barely-usable ass, at least for me. Tired of seeing things like this and having to come back later:

    Truebit had a run? I got excited for a sec but it's still in the 20's. I feel like it has been trending downward overall since the summer. Like I got in at .34 or so and for a while it was always well above that, now it never gets that high. Hopefully it someday takes off. I should probably get...

    Code Vein

    Am I right that you can't choose what to level up in this game? I can only do a generic level up with my souls when I go to a not-bonfire. No speccing? Half the fun of Souls for me is trying different builds, or figuring out what kind of character I want and gearing things in that direction. At...

    Salt and Sacrifice

    Salt and Sanctuary is more of a Souls game than a Metroidvania IMO. It was REALLY good and I managed to beat the entire game despite some rough boss fights. Protip, if you want to plat the game in the quickest time possible, do it on your first run because everything becomes like 4x harder in...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    SNL was good during the heyday of Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, up through the mid-90's with Norm and Sandler / Farley / Rob Schneider (ith...the thapler!) I remember falling asleep to it in the late 80's and early 90's as a small kid, but I'd always stay up long enough for Weekend Update...

    This all makes sense to me. Koreans and East Asians in general tend to be smart enough to stop short when a warning shot is fired. They don't have to deal with that many charging Michael Brown psychopaths.

    What's a hot thing to swing trade these days? Now that I'm getting active with this again I want to try some light swing-trading on something with consistent ups and downs while I wait for lulls in BTC/ETH to get into those.

    Got both Oris on Switch, physical so they'll barely cost me anything. Already had HK on PS5 because it had a digital sale for $9 or something a while back. Ori should look really really good on the Switch OLED. Looking forward to that after I'm done with Dread (still need to fight the final boss).

    Sports Entertainment

    Man, everything they do to show up AEW seems to backfire. Obviously the overall ratings for the 8-10:30 show were higher than the 10-11 show. However the head-to-head numbers are the only thing that matters in the context of this battle. Don't really care what Rampage did in its unopposed half...

    Same here. I've got zero Ethereum or Bitcoin so watching them run is giving me some feelings of bein' left out. Sold MATIC at 1.50. It hit 1.60 both before and after I did so I missed both of those spikes, which would have been roughly $600-800 more in profit if I'd gotten a bullseye. It...

    Finished the game. Can confirm there's some issue with matchmaking where it puts almost everybody into the first couple missions. Kind of messed-up, hopefully it eventually gets fixed because the later chapters are where the game is actually great.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah, I can confirm that if you already bought an OLED and want to trade in your old Switch after copying everything over, just bring them to a Gamestop and you can do a return / trade-in to get most of your money back. You do have to bring the OLED and the Switch with you so they can scan them...

    I'm up to almost $12000 on an initial investment of roughly $4500. Yeah I'm not throwing around a hundred thousand like the big boys here but that's what I'm working on. MATIC is way up for me so I'm trying to figure out whether to take the profits ($800) or hope for more before the next dip...

    Aliens: Fireteam

    Basically finished with this, on the 2nd-to-last mission. It's better than I expected, and I had fun. It benefits a lot from the low expectations though. If I'd gone into this thinking it was incredible, right now I'd be feeling underwhelmed. It's a basic 3rd-person shooter with xenomorphs...
