So with all this free PEN shit, I'm not sure what I should be doing. I was thinking take the Magnus one for Red Nose, to convert to Fallen God (does this version work for that?). Jetina weapon and do main hand? Or should I buy that? Jetina armor 1 do helmet for the Labreska eventually. Jetina...

What's the chest event? And I've got a PEN Capotia Ring, so guessing grab the Cloud belt, and then Capotia neck at end of this season?

Oh, I thought the timepiece was basically trading your season character for a different class. You get to keep everything? Any advice on end of season reward? And what to pick for Cloud accessory?

Well I talked myself into installing this again. For the third time. Started on the season server with a Maegu, mostly just to get my bearings about the game again. This isn't my first go around restarting the game, so I already know it'll take time to remember what all the items in my...

Yeah, watched the first episode. That was a weird experience. I'm surprised it made it two seasons as it seems a bit niche. Super depressing, and not entirely sure what the draw of the wife segments are (like Breaking Bad but where the main character's life is like every other poor fuck), with...

Man, 2022 was rough for movies. And apparently even for TV. That's a sparse list. Only thing I watched (that I hadn't already) off part 1 was The Menu. Has anyone seen Kevin Can Fuck Himself? I'd heard of it (in title only) but never had a desire to watch. It's the only thing out of this that I...

The exact same things that got us here in the first place, which the guy talked about briefly. The Fed would see it as an opportunity to do more QE, and our spending problem isn't fixed. Pump another $5-10 trillion out and yes, we'd see more inflation. This is what drove the 70s inflation, not...

If he's right, it really is a repeat of the 70's and we're going to get a brief respite before shooting up to even worse inflation. And in this case, it'd be even stupider because they fudged the numbers to get there, and the "respite" wasn't even real.

My group of 4 played the shit out of Warzone 1. I think we played two nights of Warzone 2. It's just missing something big.

I was wrong, wasn't halfway through. Made that post probably 45 min in. Lasted just under an hour before I turned it off. I don't know what the fuck that movie was.

I'm like halfway through, and figured I'd check this thread (as I'm losing interest). The most jarring thing to me is the random, modern rap tracks that appear throughout. And for a movie about Elvis, there's a surprisingly little amount of actual celebration of his music. It's almost an...

This plus QT is good shit.

Market just can't seem to break through this sideways trading.

Fair. But month to month isn't really a metric to make any inferences from. There's no trend to look at there. It's just a single data point. Since year over year is still massively up, we can see a trend that prices are still up, which is inflation.

Yes, we understand why inflation is bad now. Or at least, those of us being honest. I just meant 6% Y/Y PPI would've been astronomical 5 years ago and people would've wondered wtf happened. But today people are calling it deflationary. It's about perspective. And my point is that 6% is in no...

"Miss," but in a good direction, yes? Seeing lots of talk about that being "deflationary," as if 6% Y/Y is somehow a harbinger of a deflationary spiral or something. It's still fucking 6% which is something a few years ago we would've been like "holy shit how did inflation get so bad?"

So I know I'm like years late on this one, but just finished it. It's one of the best, and also one of the worst games I've ever played. The cutscene thing is just...not really forgivable. In the first 2 hours I think I actually "played" the game maybe 30 minutes. In the last 3 hours of the...

I'd never try to get her to watch me play games. Several years ago I did try to find some we could play together, but I eventually gave up cause she's not super interested in it.

Never played the game since I'm not a console person, but always wanted to (although hearing about TLOU2 kind of soured that). Kind of feel like I can't read this thread though because of all the fags who want to talk about the game and will inevitably spoil it (I've only been skimming a lot of...

Not many people anticipated just how horrific 2022 would be. In just about any other time period in US history, cash is one of the worst possible things to hold. It was just the perfect storm of shit.

XII was the funniest one to me, and really shows how fucking terrible 2022 was. Cash was the 2nd best performing asset, despite 9.1% inflation (and yes, I know it says T-Bills, but still).

So I just finished season two, and I realized that sadly the best episodes of the show are the bottle episodes (not sure they're technically bottle episodes) taking place in the past with Dark Quiet Place and CW's backstory. Which means the episodes with the actual characters, the meat of the...

This looks like the actor comedians in the movie had way too much input.

Ain't that the truth, that's quite the V this morning.

...and the markets immediately dump into the red.

Pretty much my feeling too. One of the big differences between good writing and bad writing is coherent characters who act with a set of principles that the viewer/reader/whatever can follow as logical (unless the point is it's a crazy person). I think the main characters actually had this...

I'm ready for my prize.

If you're only looking for a year, max out the I-Bonds which are paying almost 7% right now. After that, I'd say there are a lot of other options like bonds and CD's which, with interest rates higher than they've been in forever, should give you a decent return. If you're going longer than a...

The only reason to wait, in my opinion, is to give your spouse a higher benefit if there's a big difference in benefit and you don't actually need the money that bad (the surviving spouse can transfer to the larger amount if the higher earner dies). Which also kind of means it doesn't matter and...

Same. I almost made a post earlier today saying I needed to stop reading it because you all are trying to tempt me. I've quit twice before. The first time because I got frustrated with fails. Picked it back up like two years later and was playing the shit out of it, but my dog died a few months...

I don't think you'll find anything even remotely comparable to Kauai. Warm ocean you'll want to stick to the Gulf coast, or the Keys. I live on the Emerald Coast and it's a hidden gem of the US with warm crystal clear water most of the year. St Augustine is super cool. We haven't been to the...

Guess the beatings will continue.

His politics aside, he seems like a good dude. Was listening to a podcast he was on and he was talking about how he has a thing for firetrucks and donates a bunch of them. He's also a volunteer firefighter I think.

I mean, both teams have full medical staff with doctors. I have to imagine a doctor was in the back of the ambulance.

Bizarre. The link is to the shortstop for the Blue Jays. And the tweet doesn't exist.

We had an insurance derail the other day in one of the Politics type threads, and I almost brought up that I'm basically a sucker with insurance. I'm not willing to make a claim because I don't want my rates going up; I hadn't even considered just getting dropped completely. Like, on the house...

69...520? Someone dun goofed.

Only really knew of her because of the Sex Pistols show. But that's cause it really predates me by a lot. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/fashion/vivienne-westwood-dead.html

That was super bizarre.
