    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    I downloaded the first six episodes of this season since Hatorade said the Judy episode was good. And even despite knowing the first episode was going to be bad, I figured we'd just leave it on and not pay attention before picking it back up. But wow, it was so much more in your face than I was...

    Does this mean it leaks oil everywhere? Or does it just mean a platform is adrift?

    NO being on the dirty side of the storm is going to blow ass for them.

    I really don't get these models. The entire time, to me, it's looked like the storm is going to track mostly NNE. And yet all the models have it suddenly just shooting way west to hit New Orleans. But every few hours when they update, it's still on that track NNE. The veer is becoming more...

    Revenge trading? I honestly don't care that much. It's 0.09% of our net worth. Or really, 0.046% that I lost and want to recover. Like I said, the money doesn't matter, just the principle. Our net worth fluctuates by about 10-20x the amount we lost every day.

    Sadly, to make back the 50% I lost on AMC and just get out of short term trades altogether. Don't need the money, it's just the principle. Unfortunately I took my 50% loss from AMC and bought PLTR close to a top. Been slowly getting back to even with it, but I've still got the 100% to go to...

    Yeah, I've done pretty well at timing the last two tops (assuming today was a top, I was super close to the high today), and bought back in around $22 last time it was there. Sold about 2/3 of what I had today, probably should've sold it all. I'm tempted to put this play money into something...

    Katrina landed on August 29th in New Orleans. Looks like this will be on the same day.

    So I've mentioned before I fucked up with PLTR and ended up buying near the ATH. I've managed to dollar cost down to $26.01. Should I just get out of it now and wait for it to inevitably fall back down towards $20-22? Or just get out now and get out forever?

    I hope there's no movement on interest rates until I can lock in my rate for this mortgage. Fucking thing sucks!

    New World

    Shit, reading comprehension failure for me. For some reason I thought the post I quoted was talking about New World and not Bless. Never played Bless. I got hooked on New World during beta and despite my apprehensions about it, am really looking forward to playing it.

    New World

    I wasn't super convinced about it, but something about the open beta really hooked me. Not sure how long it'll last, but I'm looking forward to it for at least a month or so.

    So no one's mentioned it, but we briefly hit 4500 today. The peak prior to covid was about 3300, and we hit that again around a year ago. Since then we've stacked another 1200 points with barely any down days.

    Why the talk about inflation all the sudden? Is it the extra $7T that Congress is getting ready to approve? I'm not sure why that'd be a surprise at this point. The spending has been out of control for the last 12 months.

    I'm glad everyone else isn't enjoying it, because I tried and figured I just wasn't getting it. Game just wasn't fun.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    The story is fucking wild. But sitting through the frustration of figuring out to do kind of sucks. There are a few things that you have to have good timing for, and that kind of sucks. Then again, when you know what to do, you can really whip through it. In that sense the game is kind of...

    12 minutes is neat, but holy fuck it's frustrating. Gets to a point where it's like "what the fuck do I do now?" Edit: I pretty much gave up and have been watching Waffle's stream. This story...what a mind fuck.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is one of my pet peeves with promoting people to management. Being a rock star technically doesn't translate into managing people. They're completely different skill sets. That said, even then it depends on the team. I learned one this the hard way in my last role. As their manager, I...

    Yeah, the woke episodes just weren't funny. When your show becomes about the message and loses what made the show work, you're being woke.

    I've been burned a few times with buying a game only for it to pop up on Game Pass within a year. I decided to stop buying most impulse buy games and see if they showed up. Hades is one of those. But man, I get the hype this one had. I'd almost consider buying it just to support the...

    I mean, luckily this is the last season. And it started with the woke shit before switching. Terry's racism episode was in the 4th season (where he gets profiled for being black).

    Market seems completely detached from anything lately. But then you see 1995 with 72 new highs, and it didn't come crashing down until 5 years later.

    What If...?

    Seems like not very much changed. Essentially replacing Rogers with Carter, and adding the Hydrastomper. But otherwise it was damn near identical. Same rescue scene, same train scene. Really had hoped for more changes. Hopefully future ones vary more than just swapping one character for another.

    Rick and Morty

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a show start off good, have some shitty seasons, and then redeem itself. Basically once the slide starts, it doesn't stop. There have been shows that sucked to start and finally found their footing, though.

    Really makes the "we never went to the moon" types seem justified. Can't even improve on something we built 50 years ago without spending a billion dollars and 2 decades of work.

    Val (2021)

    Yeah, it was decent. Mostly depressing though. Val looks like a super goofy guy and it seems like acting was a good outlet for that. But eventually Hollywood destroyed his soul. Part of it being himself and focusing too much on the acting that he lost a piece of himself. Scenes like him signing...

    I guess that's my question. Does everyone have access to everything if you're in a town owned by an opposing faction? The only one I noticed was the town board seemed to only give out that bottom right 1/4 when I was in a different town, but I'm not sure if that was a faction thing or something...
