    Harry Potter

    That might be the only option where it'd make sense to keep it a secret. I stand corrected.

    Harry Potter

    That seems like a strategy that worked 30 years ago when the only source you might have would be Ain't It Cool News. In 2025 it will 100% be leaked. Why bother? It's not like whoever was cast is going to be some big shocking moment. Like, who actually gives a shit?

    So stocks should see a 5% slide today, yeah?

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    You're probably right, but they would've been smart to release it closer to the show. By the time they release the game, the show will have long since been cancelled.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    My problem is even though I can poopsock all day long, since I'm retired, I still don't want to sit there tied to my PC because you can't take a 20 minute break.

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Don't worry, a few years from now people here will be "sure, it's $90 and they haven't made a good game in decades, but this is a day one buy for me." And then they'll say "well I got 20 hours out of it and that's a good value at under $5 an hour!" A year or two after release they'll finally...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Huh, well that's a nice QOL feature I suppose. So it's available to non-casters?

    Yeah, I just didn't have the patience for it. I figured it'd definitely go up, but I thought it might settle around $40-50. No big deal though, I only had my AMC remnants in it, and even if I'd held until now would've only been worth about $3500.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Adrullan really scratched an itch, and it seems like it and MnM have a lot in common. But it seems like every single thing I read about MnM, or video I watch, and the game just seems like a fucking pain in the ass to play with a shit ton of "realism" inserted that just makes things...not fun...

    Dune Awakening

    My thing is still, there's no reward system in place for PVP. It's just PVP for the sake of PVP. If I'm a PVE player, what's the incentive to engage in PVP whatsoever? I don't mean venturing into PVP areas, I mean actually doing PVP. In fact, the carrot here is to actively avoid PVP as much as...

    I fucking hope so. I've been in total market funds forever, and for the last half decade they just feel like a drag on my portfolio. Kept considering switching to an S&P or QQQ type fund, but figured the smaller guys would eventually get their due.

    All I know about Wyoming is they have a "mud season." Not sure if it hits as far west as you're looking, but it sounded miserable. Oh, and the winds.

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Well I enjoyed this. Bummed it's likely not only years out from release, but probably many months until another test. Almost made it to 8 on war-wizard, which is a bummer because I think it really starts to open up with dual wield. I spent a butt load of time on the crafting though. I like the...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    In fairness, it seems like the only games that still do monthly subs are ancient MMO's. Somehow nearly every game for the past decade has managed to pay for server costs and continuous development without them. It made sense 25 years ago when hosting online servers was costly. In 2025 it's a...
