I guess what I'm saying is, it still seems like more of the same. People not talking to each other (that's getting slightly better, but it's never the ones who need to), acting retarded, etc. It's definitely suffering from the Lost phenomenon of just adding more and more shit. As people have...

Is it though? This whole episode I was thinking about how hard it is to take this show seriously anymore. Upon finally learning new information about half a dozen times, someone (mostly Boyd) responds with, "wait, what do you mean?" like they haven't seen about a thousand fucking things that...

That's probably not surprising as I'd bet anyone interested in this at this point already is in the closed beta. When I was in the F&F, I was annoyed when an open week came up because then I couldn't play the character I had more invested in. I'd imagine the same is happening now, but with...

Yeah, I'd like to do an updated SE, so maybe that's closer. I tried Nullius and got like 70 hours in before I gave up. It was just way too much juggling. Every little thing you make gets reused in future recipes and it just became a giant clusterfuck of belts and pipes (I also hate that pipes...

SpaceX IPO just doubled?

Kind of disappointed this isn't an actual attempt to make an adaptation of The Divine Comedy. I looked it up and there really hasn't been an attempt to do it in the last century.

Glad it's not just here in Florida. The forecast has been all over the place. This is in the panhandle, and not the main part of Florida known for random downpours. Not just this year though. My wife actually mocks me anytime I say it's forecast to rain on any particular day. Heck, I'll track...

Yeah, I can't buy that the government who spent decades studying mind control with LSD and hypnosis finds evidence of some unexplained phenomenon and buries it instead of spending massive resources investigating it in secret.

I've only sold one house before, and that's what we did. I regret it because we spent a ton of money to do so (we replaced the roof, carpet, repainted, landscaping...basically fixed all the shit I should've fixed for us while we lived there). At the same time, we only had one offer with it on...

It's fine so far. I'll caveat this with saying I haven't watched the most recent episode yet. But it's kind of running into the same problem all of them do, an interesting first season that mostly gets resolved...where do you go from there? It seems to just kind of sputter around where 7...

The amount of times on home buying shows where they walk into a house and like everything about it, but say the wall color is bad and walk away, is enormous.

Seems like they don't know what they want this game to be me. I mean, if we're trying to make people more active, why not make it an action MMO? And if it's that, fuck it, let's update the graphics so they're not so retarded too! They put retarded limits on themselves by basically copy pasting...

I know you're a smart guy. You're still missing the point.

He's not right, he's just cherry picking a single part of a post to address and claiming he's right to the overall concept. Ironic, since the point he's making is you can understand the concept being discussed but not the actual piece, and come to the correct conclusion...basically the opposite...

Damn dude, how is your health? A few years ago my wife was telling me about a girl she knows who had a new construction house where there was some kind of leak in the ducting and it basically ended up spewing mold all through the HVAC system for a while before they figured out what it was. But...

A damning indictment for sure, but...is anyone actually surprised by it? Also, not reading it and not having even heard of it are two different things. The second just speaks to being ignorant of everything.

Well shit, I'm in.

Just watched it with the wife, who listened to the audio book a few months ago. She really wanted me to listen to it, but I wasn't all that interested. I really enjoyed the movie. Sounds like she did too, but she actually said she was disappointed because they left off a lot of the science...

You kind of touched on it towards the end of this post, but it's one of the dangers this type of game can run into where the grind is punishing enough that the power fantasy doesn't really materialize in the higher levels. Where sure, you've got better gear and more stats, but your ability to...

Could just be a psychological method for a director to get the best performance possible from his best actors? Praise someone who doesn't make sense, and they'll fight to try to also win that praise.

I'd be more worried about AI displacement of the workforce on the market, than I would that companies are overvalued. The market is up maybe 30% in the last year or so, and if you attributed that all to AI (which you shouldn't), and it all got wiped out, that's...just a bear market (20%...

Sounds like the game just isn't for you, man.

Cmon Cad, we just wiped out 4 whole days of gains over two days! The end is nigh.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by that. They load up the things with like 200 pounds of rocks each and then...they float. The acting is also starting to get terrible. Victor's dad weeping at the end of the episode before this, from a picture drawn by an 8 year old, was ridiculous. The nurse...

Nah, fuck that. Every sound engineer for the last decade is an asshole, and has made the movie experience worse. There are a multitude of these videos you can watch.

We're not talking about it because nothing substantial has actually been released. You can only get people so worked up about vague statements before they tune out.

That's disappointing. I probably put this one on my watch list because of your first post about it. And we finally watched the first episode last night and it was great. Laughed a lot. I'm not really into horror, but it's fine if that's the vibe they wanted. But if the humor is gone, that'll be...

I've said it many times over the years, too, but people really want to overcomplicate it. "Throwing it into an index sounds too easy, there's got to be more fiddling I can do that makes it successful." Whether that's day trading or trusting a financial advisor. Everyone thinks surely there's...

Market trades within 5% of an ATH something like 85-90% of the time. It's why time in the market beats timing the market. Human nature is risk averse and the market gives no shits. As far as company stock, I'm not a fan. Because you already have a ton at stake in your company since your entire...

Uh, inflation is always compounding. What am I missing here? Also, asset owners have always been the only winners.

When this comes out, we'll have a group of posters who go see it anyway because "I've got nothing better to see," and they'll say it sucks and then wonder why this slop keeps getting made. Happens every time.

My favorite part is they detained it, gave it a medical exam, and then just released it. "Alien" my ass.

That's not fair. These people are professionals at ruining things. They've got decades of experience. Of course you can't compete with that.

I think most of us still cling to the idea of a "forever" game. One that we can play for years and years. Unfortunately the reality is within a few months 95% of people will drop any game because they've all got flaws, and as said a million times in this thread, it's not the late 90's or early...

That's pretty wild. Of all the games I've played in my steam library, it's pretty rare to even *want* to play a lot of them for 100 hours. The ones I get multiple hundreds of hours on are incredibly rare (like maybe 5 games total over two decades?) and a lot of that is from doing multiple...

That's...quite the month.

Unless it's super old and they did something weird, chances are it's just a piece of crappy plywood that sits on top of the cabinets, which the countertop is then attached to. Not sure what they did 50+ years ago, but hopefully your kitchen isn't that old.

Child actors are almost always just grating. The ones who can pull it off, but also have decent writers who can write children, is incredibly rare. Speaking of "I won't talk about it," I swear there was one or two other characters who did it, again, this past episode. It's basically an every...

The crazy part is, you look at THJ and the amount of money it was apparently bringing in, and it does seem like there's a market for...something. Hell, if these devs were smart, they could've pivoted to just copying that. They're not bound by the Daybreak/Everquest IP shit, and could've just...
