    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...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    That's exactly what they need. Even more servers to dilute their population. Genius.

    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...

    nirgon vs. Araysar This felt way too close, so got to throw my vote in. Honestly, no idea how he's escaped this for so long. He should've been one of the first.

    I fail to see why this matters as much as they're saying. It sounds like a lot because the Yen is worth pennies on the dollar. That 2.8 trillion Yen? That's like $12 billion USD. The Yen hasn't been floating the entire global financial system. That's fucking retarded.

    What does "financed" even mean in that case? On a credit card as opposed to cash?

    Can't tell what's real or not. Makes the Kool-Aid movie joke from The Studio seem a lot more on the nose though.

    Where Winds Meet

    Does the game eventually open up? I tried it yesterday and got up to the guy at the very start who gives you the bow book. It was a slog just to get that far though. I hate games where you have to spend 90% of the first 5 hours watching cutscenes and story shit and tutorials. Just let me play a...

    The mother and daughter are funny in a "they're totally detached from reality" way. The lawyer and mexican girlfriend are, and have been, terrible. I was hoping the girlfriend would be written off the show, but it sounds like we're in for a season of him trying to woo a widow. How fun. Not a...

    We talking about Stranger Things or Last of Us? I didn't watch either. But these threads amuse me. Shows for modern audiences? You're in one.

    We watched the first episode last night. I'm hoping my hypothesis is wrong because it seems super lazy. We'll see.

    Bugonia (2025)

    I was getting super bored with this one up until that point. It just kind of seemed to really drag on. But then the movie just goes all in, and it was great. And like @ubiquitrips said in his review, I was basically on board with however they decided to conclude the thing. Basically anything...

    The Chair Company

    This show has become more and more unhinged with each episode. It kind of seems like each scene is almost a sketch comedy bit that's very, very loosely held together by this main plot. Like the porn store was almost irrelevant to the story, but was really there to just provide some laughs. The...

    Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

    This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...

    We actually just met with some guy to talk about different plans (he was an idiot and didn't provide any help), but the summary is our premiums didn't really change whatsoever. The only thing we're considering is changing from a gold plan because we can't quite figure out what it's providing us...

    I'm not sure I buy these numbers, otherwise the current model of massive hospitals buying up the regionals and building massive upscale compounds wouldn't exist.

    Ashes of Creation

    I mean, if we're being honest, even in games like Arc Raiders it puts people off the game. I'd say the only place it's actually ever been successful is battle royales, the CoD/BF franchises, and for some reason Eve. Outside of that, pvp is just toxic every time.

    An Act? Sounds like something Congress would have to pass, which means this is likely just more hot air. I don't necessarily blame Trump for it, but it doesn't fix anything.

    C'mon now, she's a boss bitch. She's way smarter than her husband who became a billionaire from nothing. She learned it all through osmosis and then became better because she's a woman. And she's much more cutthroat and ruthless than he could ever hope to be.

    Death by Lightning

    Yeah, the acting and sets were phenomenal in this. They did insert a good bit of woke shit, like the black doctor being super smart and knew better than the white doctor, but couldn't say anything because racism. I'm curious how much of the political stuff is reality, because I couldn't tell...

    Feels like we're on our way to a bloodbath to end the year. Usually I'd say the fact that everyone is pessimistic about the market and feel like we're heading for a cliff would mean we've still got time and the market actually isn't inflated as much as it feels, but in this case the market has...

    On the one hand, as an asset owner, I absolutely agree. On the other, I'm not super excited about an economy where everyone is fucking dying out there because of how bad it is, and I'm sitting on my throne like some rich asshole. I don't think that system is sustainable.
