    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...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    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.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    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.

    Widow's Bay

    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.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    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.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    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.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    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...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    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...

    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.
