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.

Yeah, they keep introducing new game breaking bugs with every patch. Feels like they're breaking more than fixing. I only messed with the hatchet one today, and it helped me do some watermark farming. Only really got it up to like 1200 crits, my white damage was only ever like 600. Guess I...

That's an impressive percentile to be in one asset class. I wonder where that real estate is; is it primarily US/Canada/Australia, ghost cities in China, actual real estate they're living in (Chinese middle class?)? And I don't mean this to brag, but I was pretty shocked when we did our monthly...

If I understand that correctly, it's saying we'll get a continuing bull through next May? Sounds right from what I'm seeing. But after that we'll likely see a massive fall (assuming the tapering ends soon). We should be getting interest rate increases, inflation, and bear market all at once...

I wish they'd retune the respec cost. I'd like to try a DPS build and drop life staff for a while, but it's so painful.

Huh? I figured it'd be something with great axe or hammer. See a ton of those.

So what's the meta for PVP? I've just started it for the first time since release, doing the Outpost Rush (which I'm enjoying). But I'm life staff and hatchet, and it doesn't seem ideal.

So now I wonder if we get 3 parallel storylines, a "what we did for the last year" type of compilation, or just Laszlo and Colin? Glad our inclinations were right and he wasn't dead dead.

Is Voidbent only good because of Resilience though? Which is only good because it's broken?

Man, is there any coding in this game that isn't just dog shit? Apparently the chat (which is already a shit design) is possibly in html (didn't verify, but the guy that posted this said it was).

They really nailed Netflix though. Fat bull dyke, token black guy, fat wheelchair bound woman. Really expected a joke there, but I guess 2021 Larry is too cowardly? Also one of those things that bothers me about writers is they seem to have thought covid jokes would've translated. Covid...

As of about 4 minutes ago, I'm officially early retired. Here's to hoping the market doesn't go completely ridiculous badly over the next few years.

Yep. Best quote about the market: "The market can remain irrational far longer than you can stay insolvent."

It's just indicative of the state of the game right now. Actively playing has disincentives because the downsides are all so awful.

Speaking of Tesla, a long time ago I mentioned my mom and her boyfriend were heavily into Tesla. Like, years and years ago they dumped money into it. I was worried he was way over exposed. He hit $3 million in his portfolio this week (although likely fell below it with the swings). My mom told...

That'd be some next level retarded design. So essentially it'd be better to just forgo the entire invasion and eat a tiny repair cost.

Our realtor explained it to us that since the driveway connects to the city or county road or whatever, that they inspect it to make sure it's done right. The main portion of that is that it has a sufficient "footer" that's big enough at the junction between the two. From what I can tell, the...

So we closed. It was a fucking rollercoaster...still/again. We had our final walkthrough at 9am. We got there and no one was there. But I noticed the drain line was severed. I'm guessing from grading the yard. Uh, shit, I don't think we're closing today. We were also missing the attic cover...

The amber gems should be scaling damage off focus (the nature damage) in his video. They don't. They just convert a static proportion of the damage to nature.

It'll also be super difficult doing that stupid Selfless Nature quest.
