    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Because it's almost 2026 and there's no reason the game shouldn't include one. Players aren't going to put up with retarded shit just because it's in some bizarre vision of the devs. Even people who will dick suck any idea these devs come up with. It's like the not including maps thing, or...

    I mean, that's my prediction. I didn't trade anything based on it. I'm a buy and hold investor.

    Dang, I whiffed on this one at 5500. I really expected the downturn to hit midway through the year and that we'd start hitting the lows about now. Guess I couldn't have really foreseen the AI thing lifting the entire market.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    So my drum teacher somehow got linked up with the drummer from Tedeschi Trucks Band (or possibly Duane Trucks, I can't remember what he said), who wants to have my drum teacher's band come up to Atlanta to record an album in his studio (my drum teacher is in his early 70's). Anyway, he mentioned...

    Fallout

    I keep clicking this thread forgetting that the new season has started, and I haven't watched it. Luckily you're all mostly focused on video game shit that I don't remotely remember, so I guess it doesn't matter.

    Spartacus: House of Ashur

    This is the effect of getting old. 15 years ago when Spartacus first aired, Lucy Lawless probably was the "much older lady" to most of us. Now, the character is probably in your prime dating range, but her character hasn't aged. So you still think of her as the older lady in your mind even...

    They have these boats now with motors. And he could just follow the shore.

    Landman

    Same, and if that's not the case, well the people making this show really fucked that whole thing up because it seems like everyone was under the same assumption. So whatever they were trying to show they absolutely failed at.

    Ashes of Creation

    I thought it was a new Archeage? Because Steven wanted to whale and still got his shit kicked in, so wanted to make his own where he could do the shitting on?

    Landman

    This episode wasn't bad, but every single time that fucking son or that Mexican chick had a scene the whole thing dragged down massively. He's just a giant fuckup and I hate everything about that storyline.

    Pluribus

    Which means obviously Manousos is Jesus and Carol is Judas. The part I don't understand is why he chose the Darien Gap over sailing. Without governments that seems way faster and safer. Also, alternative hypothesis is Gilligan watched The Leftovers and was super disappointed in the execution...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Act 3 can barely even be called an entire act when you're just talking the story portion. I think it takes at best 2 hours to complete. It's just a strange decision overall. They probably would've done better to make some of that optional content required during act 3 somehow, and thrown the...

    Why? Are the police going to come for me for wrongthink? The leftists going to start hating me because of this?

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Yeah, I'm not sad about this one. Dude has been a shitty person for a long time. And if we're being honest, he made like 5 or 6 really good movies, in a span of under a decade, and then didn't really do shit anyone cares about after that. And that was almost 40 years ago.

    Yeah, Florida panhandle here. Was in the 70s today, we'll use the AC tonight, and then 30 Monday morning. Fucking thing sucks. Luckily being on the coast means we generally stay a bit more moderate with the temperatures.

    Landman

    You're right. I missed that entire thing when I made my response. Sad when there are pretty big contradictions in shows like this. Worse when they're with the characters we don't even like.

    She mentioned her family that all lives in the neighborhood as the reason she wanted to stay where she was.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Never really looked into them before (outside of the singles), but this kind of blew my mind. The bass player (Chris Squire) is fucking wild, even though I mostly listen for drums now.

    Ashes of Creation

    Not sure it's marketing (although if I didn't check this thread, I wouldn't have even known it was going into EA). It's more that I have zero faith in the team to do anything worthwhile with the game. Maybe 5 years ago I would've been onboard, but everything I've seen about this has been a...

    Yeah, no thanks. See my comments on the first season. This show was retarded. No idea how it got greenlit for a 2nd season, especially when the entire premise is this expert on whatever the fuck is just somehow in the right place at the right time. Which I guess will happen again?

    This is where my comment about the crypto thread comes in. You're talking about IBIT and an extended bear market, and I get confused what we're talking about. But then you also mention the SPY, so now I think you're talking about equities markets and not crypto? So are you saying a bear for...

    Why the fuck did we get that extended sequence of the widow, who I swear got millions in a settlement, bartending? Why are we even following this chick anymore? Holy shit, no one cares! Also, did anyone catch the lawyer? Squatting 295 and breathing so easily that she can field phone calls no...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Probably a big overlap of people who don't understand the point being made, and the ones who don't understand why the decisions being made for this game in 2025 don't work because it's not 1999 anymore.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Kind of funny, just started watching this Flea interview with Rick Beato, and he talks about how people end up being drawn to the music of the time period where they hit sexual maturity through to around early adulthood when they have to become responsible, and they don't actually "like music"...

    I'm behind on the thread and show, but in the first episode where I pointed out how retarded Carol was being by not asking questions, they had an entire sequence of showing what happened. The USDA guy or whoever he is explained that it was the four nucleotide sequences and everything. They...

    All Her Fault

    Yeah, I toughed it out and this was just not good. It had potential based on the first episode. I read a review that kind of nailed it. The entire middle section of the show is just filler and completely pointless. And "middle" in this case is everything except episodes 1, 7, and 8. I saw lots...

    Would it be remiss if I suggested all the MSTR and IBIT shit weren't in the crypto thread? Like, sure, they're traded like equities, but these are essentially just crypto. And anytime I'm not paying 100% attention to whatever charting shit you all use it sounds like you're talking the broader...

    Sure, that makes sense. And yeah, the loss on lower yield bonds could hurt. But those bonds aren't all maturing at the same time. And I can't imagine the entire global financial system was borrowing Japanese bonds to invest in global markets. If that were the case, there'd be tens of trillions...
