Went to go watch today's episode and didn't realize that last week was the finale. I honestly forgot what even happened because it really didn't stand out. Reading the synopsis and I'm like...oh. Man, this show really became a let down. It went from "plausible sci-fi" to "Syfy garbage" in a...

All the comments on that are like "I've seen every episode and have no idea who she is." Yeah, she was on one episode. Ever. I'm guessing it was a pretty unremarkable role at that. Looking at her acting credits, calling her an actress might be a stretch. She's just some random lady who was an...

It's another "system" of EverQuest that was the result of fucking up, but these devs included it for...reasons.

The more friction there is in the game, the harder it becomes to come back as well. Someone is going to look at having to resubscribe and then remember how to play this janky ass shit where all the systems are a quarter century old, and be like...nah, I'll just play something else.

This is another one where he was the voice of a dubbed foreign version. In this case Polish. Meaning no one here has ever heard of him.

I'm not a timing the market guy, but it definitely feels good to time a sell order right.

The plus side with PC release being delayed is we'll know if it's complete shit first. Unless you're a console player, in which case...just wait?

I remember hearing the exact same sentiment before Starfield came out.

Why do you people insist on being able to see the game? That's not the vision (pun not intended) for the developers. Maybe the game just isn't for you?

The bizarre thing to me is I feel like the last episode finally introduced whatever the tension is supposed to be for the season, the giant box. Except the season is almost over. They piddled around for 4/5ths of the season and now there's no time to develop anything.

I'll only watch it if he's playing a super talented straight white guy who gets replaced as first chair by a DEI hire.

42. Roth ladder. You roll over tIRA to Roth and pay as if it's earned income. After 5 years, it becomes Roth principal and can be pulled out tax free. The trick is that it's basically our only "income" during the year, so we get the standard section at 0% and then even after that it's super...

Also speaking of 5 years since retirement, I just liquidated the last of our taxable account which was the bridge to start using our Roth ladder which takes 5 years to "season." Pretty crazy it lasted exactly the 5 years we needed it to.

Were? Did they die? One of the crazy things was I expected everyone to be at work when I first retired. While there are definitely places less crowded (grocery store), there are a shocking number of people who don't have a 9 to 5.

I'm coming up on 5 years retired at the end of this week. It's gotten to the point where I forget that most people even have jobs, and I can't even picture myself working anymore (where before I could begrudgingly imagine it). The downside however is that my age peers won't retire for another...
