So...possibly good news for the economy, but kind of shit news for equities, since the firehose is getting turned off (or lowered, more likely)?

That's a great point. Look at Europe where most people just can't afford to buy. If you didn't inherit it, good luck!

I understood the repo thing, but it sounds like it's in conflict with the taper definition? Taper seemed like it's saying "end QE," but the repo thing sounded like they were preparing to buy more treasuries? Am I just reading it wrong?

Today has been the most stressful day I've had in a long time. Offers (highest/best) were due yesterday at 6pm. Been waiting all day. I feel like the longer it drags on, the less likely we got it.

This seems a bit of a weird solution. Essentially having the PvP players awarded with a function that disables PvP (for their own players), thereby protecting their PvE players and discouraging their own faction from engaging in it?

Dude, I expected it in like 2013. I remember as I was prepping to be a pilot that they were in the initial stages, and that was 2010. I figured I'd get my wings at around the time the movie premiered. Seems like this movie got off the ground about as well as my aviation career. Crazy that...

Ironically I was reading Reddit and they were saying the PVP really feels half assed like they threw it on top. So if the PVE is pretty crap according to FoH, and the PVP is half assed...what the fuck do you do at end game? Their complaints were a lot about how wars are limited in time and...

So all this talk about how this is a 90% PVP game does make me a bit concerned. If the gear is mostly normalized, what's the goal? It doesn't sound like there's PVP gear. Is it just PVP for PVP sake? Try to take over territory for...what exactly?

I tried out a build doing life staff and hammer, with heavy armor. That's essentially what it is. Pull everything, stand in circle, and hack it all down with the hammer. Full hp when you're done. Fire staff is int.

My worry was more because if I'm all in on focus, my 2nd weapon will do shit damage.

Makes sense. I kept seeing streamers talk about how they were level 15-16 at 15-16 hours in. I'm like...what the fuck? I got there in 7 or 8 hours and I fucked off gathering for most of it.

Not sure if anyone can answer, but I kind of want to play life staff, but I'm worried I won't even be able to solo the PVE content. Is that retarded? It seems good up through level 16, but I think everything is kind of weird up through 20.

I'll complain then. How could it possibly be that a world exists where they unleash fucking hell on New York City of all places, and their relatives somehow don't know who they are? That seems a bit ridiculous. That'd be like if Sully Sullenberger had saved the city on 9/11 and somehow his...

Did she still get a medal for it? I hope not.

According to the comments, they scrapped that system entirely and that's not what New World is anymore. I don't have enough experience or understand really what he was saying to dispute that though (and maybe it's because I haven't PVP'd yet). I will say his comments about PVE seem true though...

I told my wife though, the higher this runs up, the less a correction hurts. 10% from yesterday's close versus 10% from say, March, are vastly different.

Fuck, I wish I knew the answers for myself. I'm pretty neutral between Syndicate/Marauders. Will be on US East. I may end up poopsocking if my retirement lines up with this. And class is something I waffle on over and over. I want to try out as many as possible on the beta but it's hard to do...

I read something that said if you do full heavy armor and just dump the shield you come in at medium. Not sure if anyone can confirm that. But if you're not doing sword and board, there's no reason to carry the shield around. And it counts against your armor weight.

I think I mentioned previously that we had been looking at new construction. It was super bizarre, the new construction (at least from this one company) was selling at basically the same or even slightly less than 20-30 year old homes. So we'd look at a re-sale home and just be like, "this is...

Yeah, I've been seeing houses sit for a long time. Also a couple that we went to see and thought were overpriced that got pulled from the market completely. I think a lot of people got super greedy, and I'm glad people are telling them to get fucked.

Yes? (well, it's closed, but whatever) Are you saying because it's a beta, we should expect the servers to go down every day to address instability? I mean, I suppose I could buy that. The goal of a beta is to fix shit that's messed up. But in this case, server instability should be one of the...

So the servers are down again for maintenance to deal with "server instability." Seems like they've done this almost every single day and it's done fuckall. I'm a bit concerned here how they can't seem to get a handle on this, considering it's Amazon.

What is "homebuyer confidence?" Anyway, seems like good news for me. I really wanted to be in the closing process by now, but since we aren't, maybe we won't have to pay as much.

I went back to look at what happened to this show. Wow, I didn't even realize the show ran for 8 seasons. I think I mostly quit during or after season 3, and kind of half asses 4 as it seemed a bit ridiculous. That it still ran another 4 seasons after that is insane. Similar to how I saw that...

I don't know why Kevin Smith gets so much praise in general, like he's some kind of savant at directing. Yes, Clerks was a funny movie. Then he made a few more versions of Clerks that weren't quite Clerks. He's a piece of shit. Stop worshipping him.

Like all things real estate, it'll be heavily local. I think places like Texas and Florida won't see any change due to the influx of people. A big city that was already overpriced and had a mass exodus like New York though? They're totally fucked. Their housing market might implode.

Yeah, I'm having about the same thoughts. With the weapon stuff though, on the plus side, you can always change. And at least up til 20, it's free to respec. Not sure what it costs after. I like life staff too, but it seems like you'll gimp yourself hard as fuck if you ever want to solo.

The intro being after about level 12-15 or so?

So I decided to preorder last night and try it out. Liked what I saw so far. My big complaint for when this launches is one someone mentioned the other day, but how do you guarantee you start in the same place as your friends? Seems like it'd fucking suck to be thousands of kilometers away from...

Seems like a lot of YouTube reviews are coming out now, and it doesn't sound like anyone really likes it. It really seems like it's a stopgap to play anything until something better comes out.

Just cracked 4400. Still ready for that correction in August or September.

Yeah, I'm not about to stop by friends every minute to read paragraphs of text about the plight of some retarded nobody in the city. But game devs continue to add it.

In fairness, it's the middle of the day. Not sure when Euros start playing. Nor what yesterday's numbers looked like.

That PVP encounter sounds like shit. So basically you're saying you rolled up on some dude and stunlocked him until he was all but dead? That sounds like a blast for the other guy. This is why PVP is generally terrible.

They should reach out to Microsoft and see if they can get a scalable Azure solution.

This is what I said last week. For a game coming out in a month, there's almost zero hype. That doesn't bode well.

Wow, yeah, fuck this show. I'm out. They've lost the magic. This show isn't good anymore. 5 episodes and they were all pretty shit. And last season had what, 2 good episodes? Not worth the time anymore.

So this week's episode is another dud? May be time to just quit this show.
