Is Mag epic still best at 65, or one of the regular PoP spell pets now with focus?

Bottom of the Hole has a bunch of undead in the building. That’s where I would be.

I still dont get Tesla's cheapness and unwillingness to move on to Lidar systems. Their heavy use on camera systems seems an unnecessary liability at this point.

Wires overnight claim the US approached China on getting formal talks started. Markets up on the thawing of rhetoric.

Yet still has the jankiest shit AI assistant (Siri). Half the AI features the promised over 6 months ago still aren't released. Total clownshow over there.

McDonald’s, $MCD, US sales drop by most since height of pandemic in 2020 Not sure if this is the absurd pricing of fast food these days or impact of GLP1 inhibitors (Ozempic etc). Possible consumer slowdown? Why not all 3?

Only point with that is you didnt necessarily NEED +4, it was nicer for drop % chance. Even today in full PoP BiS, I am only running +3 as the added time and headache of +4 isnt worth it for me. Petcucks are well.. just stupid. No idea why the devs are afraid to touch them. I made a Mag/Bst/Brd...

I truly think markets are in full blown denial mode for the incoming inflation / consumer weakness. Prior to tariffs, we've had months of reports of vehicles piling up on dealer lots unable to move. MSRPs way too high, interest rates too high, rising delinquencies, etc. Then you get headlines...

Every time I have seen people complaining about Agnarr in ooc chat, they are clueless that there is the option of killing the portals that spawn the adds. Most roll in there with the previous PoP content in mind just trying to DPS explode Agnarr focusing solely on him and get overrun with adds...

Encounter. Singular. Most class combos can easily handle everything up to Quarm solo with appropriate gear and AAs. Zeb is a custom encounter that likely gets easier in the next xpac. Just like many struggled with Seru +3 or +4 until PoP hit.

Not happening. The stop at DoN is an EQ Emu limitation. That is as far as it goes from the Emu community. Their plan is more custom content following that.

Also.. huge LOLs:

Holy shit. We are going to bankrupt the nation at this rate. US Treasury bumps April-June borrowing estimates up to $514b vs $123b previously.

Gotta chase that AI R&D dragon

This an accurate take. If we are in a world where the Gold ETFs are worthless, we are also in a world where lead bullets > gold. Not hyperbole.

Prices paid show inflation is here (and likely to surge massively if China tariffs remain in place) Hard to cut in those circumstances.

basically every stat of our manufacturing activity is bad. Collapsing activity, collapsing new orders, shipments from positive to negative, prices paid for materials way up (inflation).

Bullish?

You know you can load Emp with SK fire dots, right? (SP makes a big difference)

Despite all of this, SPY trying to push back to highs of day. Pretty wild the aggressive bid all week.

This should also help calm things today. Yes, it is nowhere near closing a deal, but over the last few days both the US and China seem to be walking back from the extreme cliff edges. There is still sizeable downside risks (especially with Trump tweets), but many of the extreme bearish scenarios...

New to me too.

INTC womp womp - Guides Q2 Adj gross margin 36.5% v 43.5%

I posted this earlier. The clownshow continues.

I would argue the last few days has been anything but slow and steady. Hell we were -0.7% on SPY premarket and touched +2% intraday. Since Monday, we are up 7.5% on S&P 500 I still find his highly dangerous, given no trade deals have been announced and the fallout of the China shipment cliff...

Pretty wild call gamma (SPY 550) today. Especially given there is zero clarity on any trade deals whatsoever.

I feel like the "buy gold" story TODAY is the equivalent of the idea of starting to buy SPY / QQQ puts at the lows -20% from the highs. If you really wanted to hedge, the time to do it is in times of stability / markets at highs when gold is suppressed. We are still quite far from all of...
