    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Yeah, but that was after Modern Family I think. And it was free. She's complaining about how she was "taken advantage of" in her first season. By the last season she was making $150k an episode. Once again, 24 a season. Plenty of people would walk in heels with gout for way less than she made.

    I only care about the rewards (and even that less so since all that's left are 100 Valks). That, and if timepiece stays in. Anyway, succ zerker getting more buffs.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    She made $15k an episode and there were 24 episodes in that first season. $360k at 19 and she didn't even have to show the public her butthole. Fucking cry more.

    California is about to get super fucked with flooding. I didn't realize how infrequent they are, but apparently there have only been two tropical storms to hit Southern California in the last century. And both were fizzled to almost nothing. This one is going to hit Baja as a category 4 or 5...

    Health Problems

    So it's just about cluster season for me again (usually around September), and I figured I'd post this just for awareness. I found Clusterbusters maybe 5 or so years ago and the community is an absolute lifesaver (literally, we regularly would get updates about a member committing suicide due...

    This is what they mean when they say a mortgage is a hedge against inflation. Your mortgage stays the same while everything else balloons around it. My in-laws have a place in Orange Beach, AL (which we'd really like to build a house on whenever we can figure out how to pay for it in...

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    Yeah, pretty much fuck CoD. Modern Warfare's battle royale was lightning in a bottle. Activision clearly don't know what the fuck makes a fun game.

    Was talking to some new friends we made the other day, and they bought their house earlier this year I think. I asked them if they didn't mind me asking how bad their interest rate was. It was like 6.5% or something. A little over a year earlier and we locked in 2.75%. That'd make our monthly...

    Snow White (2024)

    One of the comments on that was pretty dead on. Rachel says (paraphrasing), "this Snow White becomes a strong independent woman because that's what her father told her she could become." So...she needed a man to give her the self confidence to live up to her potential. Such strong messaging...

    The 7th episode of season 1, the single shot one, was also incredibly stressful.

    Hijack was stupid. Probably started as a decent idea on paper, but I'm assuming they needed to stretch it out and so the writing was absolute shit.

    Speaking of KR, was reading that the infinite HP pot price cratered to like 9b. Mana pot still up near max.

    Always overload. It's quicker to do that than make two trips. That's really the only one I can think of. I generally avoided sailing west of Narvo island before I got carrack because it just takes too long. And now that you're at brilliants, I'd avoid 1 for 2's and only do 3's (outside of T4...

    I haven't paid enough attention to what's changed, so I'm not sure if it's actually bad or not now. I'm sitting on reform 4 bheg's though, and not sure if it'll be worth the cost to finish em out. Definitely run the numbers though, because all the guides for it are likely incorrect. Then again...

    Warning on the Jetina PEN stuff now. Memory fragments are (or are supposed to?) way up in price, so it may not be worth doing at all anymore. It used to be good for maybe 2 pieces, but memory fragments are a large cost of it. I'm hoping they'll adjust the amount needed, or maybe they already...

    Strange Planet

    I liked the comics years and years ago. I don't think the style of comedy from them works well when you string together 30 minutes non-stop of that type of joke. I didn't even make it 5 minutes into the first episode before quitting.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    It's odd because I'm usually more critical than the rest of you and I thought it was one of the better ones of the season. The opening especially was pretty funny. Also enjoyed the Wilhelm scream they added for Nadja throwing that dude. Oh, and I'm a week late, but this one was pretty funny.

    If you can get a fairy with cheer (doesn't have to even be max), just let it heal you with pots through the desert sickness. Wasting time on water/tea is fucking stupid. If you have infinite pot it makes it even better.

    Pretty sure if you're imagining having sex with other men, you're gay. Just because you're not acting on it (for hypothetical sake), you still want to fuck dudes.

    Wait, I missed that part. So theoretically you could eventually max every single node? Holy shit that'd be awesome.

    Black Desert

    You can only invest in the node if you're not there with a VP, in which case it cost 10 energy. Can't do it at all without the VP active. I'm hoping this means you don't need VP at all.

    As this stretches on though, no one ever talks about the old data falling off. Yeah, it may be 3.2% from July 2022 - 2023, but what about July 2021 - July 2022? We're still getting crushed by inflation.

    Yellowjackets

    My take is that they've decided to lean too heavily on the "present" timeline. I don't really like much of anything about it. The past is where the meat of the story is and whoever is in charge just doesn't seem to want to spend much time there. I'm assuming it's because the adult cast is where...

    I didn't finish it. Think we made it two or three in and said fuck it. We may have revisited it to finish at some point, but by then I saw the racism rant or whatever at the end and said nope.

    Which, just as a side note, is why buying a house versus renting is an incredible way to build wealth. Inflation hit 15%? Yeah, well my mortgage payment stayed the same (although fuck you insurance and taxes). My mortgage is for around $1300, but houses this size are renting for like $2200.

    That's fair, I suppose. I'm incredibly bullish on the markets only because...where else does the money go? I think the country and west are a fucking dumpster fire and on borrowed time. But it's also the least worst place to stash money. I think you kind of touched on it in one of your posts...
