    Black Desert

    So back when I played in 2016 or so, I did a lot of horse training. When I picked it back up, I lucked out and, through horses I had bred, got a T8 courser (I also want to point out that at around level 18 or so it had crap skills and the BDO horse discord told me the horse was glue). Anyway...

    I said I wouldn't play this, but for free I might consider it.

    Seasonal is just a time limited "event" with segregated servers (however, you can use your seasonal characters on regular servers, during the season). Everything else is pretty much the same, except you get all kind of bonus shit for playing it. The only big difference is it has its own set of...

    Yeah, season is ridiculous. My character I played for 2k hours (most afk though) around 2016 was something where I surpassed it in like 10 hours on seasonal. Plus all the giveaways and free shit you get is obscene.

    Free Manos accessory for making 50 fruit juice with Lara in Heidel. Could be easy to miss if you weren't looking. She's got 2 other weekly quests but I can't remember what they were.

    Well that's even more bizarre to me that they moved in such lockstep (and still do).

    Think we're going to get a new intraday high today. Possibly high close too if it stays up.

    2008 was easy to call. I remember making a post on the FatWallet forums back in like 2005 or 2006 saying the housing market was going to blow up. I think the surprise was the amount of "insurance" taken on each CMO. And that's really what made it bad. Without that, it just would've taken the...

    Jesus, GME back at $330. I don't understand how this is even happening. There's no way retail is driving it.

    Weird to me that anyone takes CPI seriously at this point. It's clearly manipulated. Food prices seem way up, gas is definitely way up, housing prices are insane, I even saw something saying the used car market is facing a record shortage and prices are up. Unless the basket for CPI is strictly...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    So it's only console? Still no EA Play, and I swear there was some other service they were going to integrate that hasn't made it yet. Getting pretty disappointed with it. Granted, I paid almost nothing for it, but still!

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yeah, I don't know why people got so offended at me calling this show out. I keep it real. For instance, my wife and I tried to watch a show called "Tell Me Your Secrets," which is apparently very highly rated. We gave it a good shot, but after a half hour, I said "this has no hook, nothing to...

    WandaVision

    This is why I said, before the final episode, if this is a letdown it's a crushing blow to the IP. This is the first piece of phase four of the MCU. Doesn't really instill confidence.

    Ugh, market timing your retirement accounts is always a bad idea. Look at it this way, are you expecting to need the money in the next 10 years? If not, it's almost a guarantee (spare me the Japanese example) that the market will be higher in 10 years. So why sell? Also, keep in mind when I...

    WandaVision

    Rambeau is a perfect example of how terrible the writing for this was. The final episode had two glaring scenes, which, I think she may have only really had two scenes, so that's pretty bad. She's got these brand new powers, and is being held captive. She just randomly uses her powers to solve...

    Yeah, I like the outside, but the inside is a fucking train wreck. That said, that's more than double the size of my current house (in both square footage and lot size), and it's about what we're putting ours on the market for. And it's not like I live in LA or SF or one of the other major...

    WandaVision

    In this case though, weren't the fans just regurgitating comics plotlines? So the writers were so bad they couldn't even come up with something interesting when they could rip off an already completed work and look good for doing so?

    Yeah, yesterday I was like, "darn, I wish I had bought more around $22." Today I'm like, fuck buying more of this. It's too volatile.

    So if nothing worthwhile happens in the finale, what the fuck is the point of the entire show? This would be like a movie with no forward plot. Just a bunch of stuff happens and no one cares.

    I'm not entirely sure I want to do that. In theory I do, but it's kind of daunting and I've got a lot of shit already stressing me out (like getting ready to move across the country). But what would I need if I do? Do I need a real estate lawyer? Just print off some contracts from the internet?

    Anyone got any tips for finding a listing agent? I know it's probably locally dependent. But this will be our first time selling a home and I'm not entirely sure the best way to find someone to sell our house. Like, I had mentioned finding a realtor who has a lot of sold properties, but my wife...

    The maps/cover system is probably the most off putting thing about this. It just makes the whole thing feel ridiculous.

    Yeah, the meme stuff is one thing, but the fact that the federal government seems to be getting more and more invested in it is worrisome. Like the Fed pumping trillions into the system isn't something that makes me feel great.

    So is the last episode going to be like 3-4 hours to get that runtime to whatever they said the average was? What the fuck? This was a heavy exposition episode, but I'm intrigued.
