    The weight is the big one to me. Like I bought a bunch of weight on a zerker that I probably have no intentions of playing. Although, I honestly don't know what I'd put it on instead. But I'm sure there's someone out there that changed their main and wants to dump all that stuff on it.

    Combat/skill and inventory/weight expire July 26. The weapons and health/breath/strength don't have an expiration.

    If you've been wanting to change your main, like, legit change it, now is the time. 14 days of guild buffs which include weapon exchange coupons, health/breath/strength exchange, combat/skill exp exchange, and most of all, an inventory/weight exchange coupon.

    7 Days to Die

    I'm not a huge fan of it. It's just a fucking retarded amount of books you need. Feel like my entire playthrough is just trying to find books. That said, all the rest of it is good shit. Although I did go into a city today while it was raining and my FPS went into the shitter. I liked back in...

    I'm always amazed at how over leveraged people are on cars. And most of all like you said, where they trade in their car for a fraction of its value to go in for an even more unaffordable car. Even at our highest incomes, I can't imagine having a $500+ monthly car loan. Talk about pissing money...

    I'm assuming that whatever the music box monster is is more powerful than the slow walkers and they're scared of it. And cicadas are somehow tied in. But yeah, this show didn't need to add any additional mysteries.

    Really expected more to happen with only one left. Feels like the only thing we got was that maybe the dead people's nightmares were what lives in the forest, and that's conjecture. I've hated the junkie girlfriend storyline, so I hope she dies. But since she didn't yet, I'm sure they'll save...

    It's the problem of market consolidation at the top. They drive the major indexes, but they're not the economy.

    I guess there's some weird fucking jetstream thing going on, but it's giving us hellish thunderstorms every day here in Florida. Hope this shit moves off soon.

    And the boss blitz rewards are officially disappointing. May as well just call it Dark Rift v2. This is with a 6th place, two 13th, a 19th, and I want to say 20-something.

    Almost caught up, but yeah. I hate nitpicking, but this is ridiculous. "Hey, I've got these weird worms in my arm." "Wow, Boyd's lost it, what a lunatic." Yeah, because all the other shit in this town makes sense, right? My biggest nitpick though is that they butchered the hot doctor's hair and...

    Yeah, we're a few episodes into it and it's decently funny. It's obviously not even trying to be realistic with how off the wall it is.

    So this expansion is ass. It's got the same problem I was talking about with Lost Ark, where you've got this decent new content, but you lock it behind a weekly timer. If you've done the story and journals, and you've hit your 5 weeklies, there's literally zero reason to be on the new...

    I haven't been in a while, but I know that I had no data at all available prior to the changeover. Basically like I started a brand new account with whatever my old balance was starting that month (whatever year that was). I was pretty annoyed by it. I've thought about transferring it all out...

    I've tried other classes and yeah, I can't give up the movement of Lahn. It's just so damn handy. It's basically the reason Arduanatt is vastly superior to the other dream horses, but in class form. Especially with Land of Morning Light, having Lahn and Arduanatt was like cheat mode. Saw one of...

    Really thought today would be much more red. Seems like everyone was saving it for power hour, but I doubt we see much more than 1% pullback. And considering how high we've gone the last month, that's not much.

    Don't forget the lessons of the 2008 Recession. Tons of people sold at the bottom and didn't buy back in until 2012, 2013, or later. There's probably a fuck load of money sitting on the sidelines still and they'll buy at exorbitant prices. We may be seeing some FOMO buying as people hope they...

    We're also still about 10% off the all time high, which was a year and a half ago. Now, that was also a bit of a bubble, so maybe it doesn't mean anything. But it probably helps with the algo's.

    Finally finished the story. It was buggy as hell. Probably had to force close the game a dozen times. Not super excited about just doing these bosses 5 times a week. Such a bizarre decision to make that the only thing there outside of lifeskills. Edit: Nice, and they just did an announcement...

    Once again, that's not how inflation works. Positive number = higher prices. Unless we get deflation, prices don't come down. This is just what shit costs now. A smaller positive number just means the pace of increases is slowing, not that they're reversing.

    Been using Tweaknews for something like 7ish years? I didn't renew and 3 days later they sent me an offer for $3.99 a month, without a download cap (I think I had 10mb or some number of connections before), and a VPN. Curious what you're using that's never changed and is cheaper than that...

    That's the feeling most investors who have only been at it for a few years to a decade have. The reality is the market is typically trading within I think 10% of the all time high something ridiculous like 80-90% of the time. We likely push close to the all time high sometime this year. We may...

    I mean, sure, if you ignore all the people who have put 50-100+ hours into it saying the builds are boring, the combat sucks, the story is the worst they've ever seen, the itemization is uninspired, and the game has no distinguishable areas.

    And this is why I made such a big deal about not buying it right away. In two weeks the shine not only wore off, but it sounds like this is a game most won't even play once seasons roll around. Ironically enough, I think the $70 price tag is what saved me from this. Even at $50 I probably...
