I think it will be successful, but also have the gross feeling of about 3 too many pirates of the Caribbean movies.

In this genre, they’ve definitely won. Others valuing action per second like fps, league, speed running…the dollar can not trump the high tism players. Sadly, games are going to keep shifting towards more of a pleasant hotel stay vs a wild ass contra fight into mother brain’s anus. We were...

I have two high school mates that are going to be playing EverQuest for the first time in ….god damn we old…26 years. My other crew of a handful of beards play about every 3-4 years and they’re all in. My little bubble is a small example, but if I had to guess, then I would predict it’ll be...

I just started Book 5 after reading the Book of the New Sun and it feels like I’m reading a children’s book. I guess that’s not a total surprise, but it’s a tough transition lol.

I know, I’ll be playing a lot. Would be nice to come back in the afternoon and do a little xp’n

My wife / kids are visiting family for 2 weeks. Someone get me a key or I’ll be forced to play golf for 2 weeks, which may or may not be worse than EverQuest for my mental health.

Anything linked to people’s emotional state can go all over the place. That + crazy world events, like you know, one of these 4-5 assassination attempts on the President working out, would very likely lead to more than a blip on the chart. That said, proactive rate cuts versus rate cuts to...

He seen it.

That’s really cool. I’m doing ok financially, but I don’t know if I’m doing so ok I can go to Austin and see my first race this year. Would be cool!

Just watched the twitch stream and it looks fun. Difficult to listen to him call his teammate Sissyfist (Sisyphus), but I guess that’s just the world we live in.

I’ve made some really good picks in the AI midsmall cap world around late March, but even with that I’m only up around 5% for the year due to my giant Palantir holding. really brings up a good discussion of taxation on the ltc gains vs opportunity costs of something like that. I have sold...

I doubled down on stupid and grabbed some MSFT yesterday along with some mid crappy AI adjacent companies. Basically, the companies with contracts for parts to the big boys are not typically as inflated as the large cap and better known companies, but with rates theoretically dropping over the...

Beat my cosmic trial on Tahiti and felt pretty accomplished- not bad for a guy who doesn’t know wtf is going on and equips random shit that seems good. my hero is super cheesy and a bit of a cheat code (blade), but I need that to offset my lack of understanding of how to grow in power.

Reading the Book of the New Sun and it’s awesome. I’m on book 2 and it’s checking the boxes for trippy, random adventures of our hero, a torturer. The writing seems brilliant and adolescent at the same time, but that appeals to me. Just finished the Expanse and while I enjoyed it …I think...

Brought the kids and enjoyed it, but we booked late and were stuck with the front corner seats. Totally aids
