All of this predates Trump, though. The plan would've been several years further along had Hillary won.

Wait, wasn't this delayed until 2022? And wasn't everyone here, a month ago, saying that this thing was a pile of crap?

So can anyone tell me how the fuck Arcade clears for the season? Do you have to make it through a certain number of rounds? Also, can anyone explain Limit Breakers? They keep coming up, but points are never banked. It's basically "drive really fast" but that's not sustainable in their little...

The only problem is it doesn't count as "completed" on the map for Rivals (just found this out). So I'm having to run it at least twice, once solo, once rivals. Also, thanks for the AMG GTR recommendation @Vorph. I saw a thing recommending the Nissan Skyline GTR 97 and it just wasn't my cup of...

Someone posted something very poignant a few weeks ago about the Constitution and I wish I had bookmarked it. But essentially the difference is in the US, the right is inalienable. In every other country, the right is given to you by the government. Which means they could also revoke that right...

Yeah, not sure what @pysek is doing. My request has been in for 2 days. Only 4 people in the club. Just accept everyone, dude! Anyone got any recommendations for good cars in the A or S1 tiers? I find most of the S2 and X ones are just too hard to race against, and I seem to have trouble with A...

She seems to completely gloss over her $3M loan, like somehow she doesn't have to pay it back? Also, consider she said she'll be bringing in $85k a year with a (levered) $1M investment. For an 8.5% return. So...good for her, I guess? That seems like a piss poor return to me, especially for a...

So I got an AMG One and suddenly the game got a whole lot more fun. And it was already pretty damn fun. Doing skill trains is actually feasible (I had a hard time chaining things like drifts before). I don't know if I've seen very many races where I'd want to use it because it's just a bit too...

Having fun so far. So I noticed you can see your friends in the races, but I'm assuming it's just an AI controlled and has no relevance to their performance. It seems the only thing that is transferred over is (maybe) their choice of car for that race, and the nametag. Is there any way to see...

Well it was neat, but not what I expected. Saw a fireball near the horizon that went up, due to the angle we were seeing it re-enter the atmosphere. Didn't hear a sonic boom though.

I mean, it's $500. I could give a shit.

I was hoping Robinhood would list Shiba and I could just throw the money I have lingering there in it. But that's looking unlikely, so I'm thinking ETH. Like you though, I don't think buying at close to $5k seems prudent.

The middler thing seemed like a very classic Curb storyline. Something no one would ever recognize in real life, but something that someone like Larry David absolutely would. Same thing with the hotdog eating content. Also a classic Curb storyline.

So much better. I'm relieved. I also think this Netflix/Hulu staff thing is building up into a bigger joke...hopefully. Or maybe it'll just be an unsaid joke about their shit culture. Either way, this was classic Curb.

Reading this thread is daunting as I have no clue about anything anyone is saying, having never played a Forza game before. Anything I need to know tomorrow before I dive in, or just go for it? Not really interested in watching a 30 minute YouTube video, either.

Thanks for the recaps guys, this shit is hilarious. Feel bad that Kyle had to get dragged into court for this clown show though.

This actually made me think about their 30 day delay. Based on the patches they've done in a month, my guess is they basically fixed fuck all in that month. They just don't have the talent or maybe direction to get anything meaningful done. It also probably speaks to why it was in development...

But that's another wtf for me. There is almost no monetization present. Almost no cosmetics. It's crazy. They could've implemented that stuff and maybe kept some of the players frustrated by their bullshit design, and gotten extra cash as well. Instead they just...didn't?

Think I said that two or three weeks ago. Every system in the game penalizes you for playing. It's baffling. I've basically stopped playing almost entirely. Since Forza sounds so good, I'll probably end up playing that and never logging in to New World again. It's a shame because the bones are...

Time to short Tesla? Edit: Looks like about 1 billion shares outstanding, and he owns 193 million. So we're looking at only about 2% of outstanding shares. Average volume looks to be about 20 million a day, too. So effectively doubling that. Not sure it'll be the cataclysmic event I was hoping...

Devon Sawa? Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in forever. Apparently he didn't stop acting though, he's been in all kinds of shit I've never heard of every year.

I hope everyone votes yes because they don't understand equities markets, the stock tanks, and then we have a case study to dunk on people about why billionaires don't have all their wealth in cash and the idea that they can just liquidate it all without destroying everything is retarded.

I think a crash is definitely on the table. It's not inevitable, but pretty likely. The problem is, if we really are in a melt up, you're going to miss potentially a massive amount of gains we have until it does. It's the conundrum you'll always face trying to time the market. There are people...

In market news, the melt up appears to be well underway. S&P up more than 2% in the last 2 days after the Fed announcement. Insanity.

I agree. I actually made the exact same argument the other day in the Politics thread. I guess my problem with it is the same as talking about "transitory" inflation. The way it's being used by lay people to discuss the economy versus how it's technically defined are incongruent.

I've been seeing this a lot in the last week. "Unemployment is near all time lows!" How can anyone believe this while also acknowledging that we have a massive worker shortage and people quitting their jobs in record numbers due to things like vaccine mandates?

Meanwhile SPY is up 26% YTD. I know people love hitting home runs, but man, when fund managers miss, they miss big.

Almost turned this episode off halfway through when they started on the towels. What the fuck is this writing? Really hope this season picks up soon. Hate to have to quit watching Curb.

Their server stability was pretty good though! But yeah, otherwise this is a giant mess.

Total population cratered. Is it people sick of this shit, or did they ban 30% of their players?

Which means they're expecting inflation of 7% or higher. Add in the tax implications and you're not coming out ahead. Better than cash though!

Yeah, feels like this game is donezo. I don't think there's any salvaging it at this point. It's strange because I figured I'd quit after a month due to getting bored. But instead it's because they fucked it up.

Said it before, but it seems like every time they try to fix a bug they introduce two more. In this case they didn't even fix the bug.

I got randomly sent 600ish gold the other day. Don't know why, but a thing popped up saying soandso sent you xxx coins.

Little too late on that one. Their team is garbage.

Some of the design decisions in this game (not just bugs) are starting to make me just want to quit. Was solo farming for watermark and a guild with a full group of 4 people is there. They tell me the drop rate sucks with 2 groups, so I tell them to invite me, "We can't, we're full, some of our...

It's one of those things where I can't even blame people for exploiting anymore. AGS has done literally nothing about it, so why not?

So should we be expecting a release date announcement soon now that New World is a colossal clusterfuck and the population is cratering?

God I fucking hate Josh. Only like 10 minutes into this episode and I'm annoyed by him.
