    I haven't paid enough attention to what's changed, so I'm not sure if it's actually bad or not now. I'm sitting on reform 4 bheg's though, and not sure if it'll be worth the cost to finish em out. Definitely run the numbers though, because all the guides for it are likely incorrect. Then again...

    Warning on the Jetina PEN stuff now. Memory fragments are (or are supposed to?) way up in price, so it may not be worth doing at all anymore. It used to be good for maybe 2 pieces, but memory fragments are a large cost of it. I'm hoping they'll adjust the amount needed, or maybe they already...

    Burry has been bearish for a while, and his last prediction didn't pan out.

    Strange Planet

    I liked the comics years and years ago. I don't think the style of comedy from them works well when you string together 30 minutes non-stop of that type of joke. I didn't even make it 5 minutes into the first episode before quitting.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    It's odd because I'm usually more critical than the rest of you and I thought it was one of the better ones of the season. The opening especially was pretty funny. Also enjoyed the Wilhelm scream they added for Nadja throwing that dude. Oh, and I'm a week late, but this one was pretty funny.

    If you can get a fairy with cheer (doesn't have to even be max), just let it heal you with pots through the desert sickness. Wasting time on water/tea is fucking stupid. If you have infinite pot it makes it even better.

    The Official Conspiracy Thread

    Pretty sure if you're imagining having sex with other men, you're gay. Just because you're not acting on it (for hypothetical sake), you still want to fuck dudes.

    Wait, I missed that part. So theoretically you could eventually max every single node? Holy shit that'd be awesome.
  12. Gravel

    Black Desert

    You can only invest in the node if you're not there with a VP, in which case it cost 10 energy. Can't do it at all without the VP active. I'm hoping this means you don't need VP at all.

    As this stretches on though, no one ever talks about the old data falling off. Yeah, it may be 3.2% from July 2022 - 2023, but what about July 2021 - July 2022? We're still getting crushed by inflation.

    Yellowjackets

    My take is that they've decided to lean too heavily on the "present" timeline. I don't really like much of anything about it. The past is where the meat of the story is and whoever is in charge just doesn't seem to want to spend much time there. I'm assuming it's because the adult cast is where...

    I didn't finish it. Think we made it two or three in and said fuck it. We may have revisited it to finish at some point, but by then I saw the racism rant or whatever at the end and said nope.

    Which, just as a side note, is why buying a house versus renting is an incredible way to build wealth. Inflation hit 15%? Yeah, well my mortgage payment stayed the same (although fuck you insurance and taxes). My mortgage is for around $1300, but houses this size are renting for like $2200.

    That's fair, I suppose. I'm incredibly bullish on the markets only because...where else does the money go? I think the country and west are a fucking dumpster fire and on borrowed time. But it's also the least worst place to stash money. I think you kind of touched on it in one of your posts...

    Not sure why you think I'm negative. I turn 40 next year and retired into probably one of the worst periods in history. I didn't go back to work and have no plans to. Seems pretty bullish an attitude to me.

    100%. Did they need to steep it in "fascism" and "end of democracy" hysteria? Deny it all you want, there were real world political overtones all over it. They could've very easily cut all that out and nothing was lost. It was purposeful.

    Connor wasn't seeking his father's approval. Which is what I think had the other children constantly trying to take each other down, ultimately leaving them all with the conclusion they got. In fact, I'd say Connor had the opposite problem where he somewhat loathed his father for putting his...

    Yes, my Shiv opinion is solidified. She's the worst. I mean, they're all shitty people, but she really seemed to fuck her family in a special way. And the way she treated Tom was just atrocious. Actually, I don't think Roman ever really fucked the siblings like that, and Connor mostly stayed out...

    I think my wife and I started watching this sometime around when season 3 was ending. We only made it 7 or 8 episodes into the first season before kind of fizzling out.

    Oh, and like I also said, if you need crow coins (at this point likely for blue caravel enhancing mats), Khan runs are a decent way to get some fast. I want to say I get about 800ish per Khan.

    That sounds right. The ones from Ravikel and then the corals. If you've already got Breezy Sail, the rest don't really matter so much. The Tinberra one is good for easy crow coins, too. Hit up the Sailing discord for the different people doing em. Also not a bad idea to do Ravikel's barter...

    Not sure buying value packs is worthwhile early game. Heck, really only if you're super active and need the marketplace buff. The rest of what you get is kind of a piss poor value compared to what a subscription in a normal game would be.
