I respect the farmer take here. I am also one of those people that prefer the Popeyes or KFC chicken sandwich to CFA's because when you get a good one they are twice as good; but your rolling the dice because just like @Mist said it is about a 10% chance you get the legendary one.

It is highly constrained capitalism, and what we have now is better than a 3rd world "bank" where you go instead of hiding your valuables in your rectum and are just praying that the "bank" doesn't just leave with everyone's money every day. But if we are going to have a ton of regulations...

It seems like the new mulligan rule has really evened that out a ton. Sure, you still start down a card, but the times you see people mull to 5 or 4 is a fraction of what it was in the past.

Someone please nitpick my basic banking knowledge and assumptions here. I saw the new rule that the backstop would protect deposits but not investors and creditors. This seems like an ideal situation (even as a huge proponent of the capitalist risk/reward structure) because it protects the...

From LinkedIn, for investor idiots like myself.

Blazin, I was just about to come in here and do my normal takedown of this drivel by posting their profit margin to go along with the meaningless revenue numbers....but these motherfuckers are averaging 20 cents on every dollar of revenue and cannot justify more headcount or safety precautions...

At least he also posted this absolutely true statement:

Fuck these motherfuckers. Bailouts mean that every single taxpayer is going to foot the bill for a bank's poor management instead of just the people who CHOSE to bank there? US COMPANIES ARE NOT OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND SHOULD GET NO MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. I swear most people think...

Isn't this what a healthy market looks like? A business makes poor financial decisions, loses investor money, and then is forced to sell at a huge discount to a well-run competitor? Then, the market dissects the reasons why it happened and (ideally) other similar businesses do not repeat those...

Legacy is boring as fuck anyways; the game is based around 4 copies of each card, but you can only have 1 of these cards because they are so fucking powerful that 4 could ensure turn 1 wins in 70% of games played. Who wants to do that?

I love that with the impending release of Diablo 4 they felt the need in that announcement to link the dev diary from 12 years ago explaining why gold and gold sinks are shit. It is as true now as it was then.

They need you to stop and hit CTRL to look at that piece of loot just like they need you to use a 3rd party loot filter to hide the absolutely disgusting amount of useless items that drop on each screen of the game. It is all to hide the things that the OG team refuse to take out of the game...

The only three stats that exist in a FromSoft game are STR, VIT, and STA in that order. Nothing else matters.

Love the art style, love the presentation, never going to see it and my kids aren't either. They just cannot fucking help themselves. I even KNOW the defense going in "the Turtles are from NYC, there are more MINORITIES there now than white people. In TODAY'S NYC, April would not be white!"...

Well, Immortal was a pay to win cashgrab that I refuse to even read about so if those things exist in DIV, are tradeable to other players, and have no P2W component then it might be ok?

I know this is two posts in a row, but I wanted to address this specifically. People not picking up items off the ground is a problem POE had created and FLAT OUT REFUSES to address. Do you know how I know that it isn't a problem with the items themselves but with the acquisition of those...

That has entirely too much to do with POE's bloat and not the currency system itself. If there were only 3 or 4 currencies you wouldn't have that issue since the number of things you can do with them is similarly limited. Honestly, Blizzard wouldn't even have to go that far. They could have...

How the fuck hard is it for ANY of these new ARPGs to realize that POE's real magic is that they got rid of gold and replaced it with CHOICE. I can save my transmutes to use because they are useful or I can horde them and upgrade them to a different useful item that is also useful OR tradeable...

He seems jealous that Brett and Heather come off as relatable and even-keeled. They seem like a really smart couple who eschewed academic elitism to teach where and how they wanted to while Eric and his wife just went for the meaningless titles and now lumped in with the group that look down on...

My wife was on show picking duty and she picked this. I hated the first season because every character was a terrible person except the son. Even if the point of the show was to make them all unlikable, I just need some shred of humanity to connect with and got none. Oh, and there was no real...

Not one fucking update? @Foggy + =

As someone that played the shit out of DL 1 and loved it - Is this game worth playing? I don't want to ruin my memories of the first one being excellent for an experience that isn't even half as good.

I am actually shocked at how much choice they have given players in how to limit the content you see in your maps @Khane's blocking strategy mentioned a few pages back has allowed me to farm Expedition with a scarab and passively farm harvest because it shows up in 90%+ of my maps. @Khane is...

I fucking hate every single 'financial' writer and department that write articles about revenue/profit with absolutely 0 mention of either profit margin or a chart that shows the companies P&L. It is just a hit piece dressed up as financial news.

Good thing this show was already on the steep decline from mediocre to terrible or this may have been the death blow!

RF Jugg checking in. Sanctum is impossible for me but I can tank every Sirus attack except the meteor maze.

Just to make sure I follow, in your example above where the price doesn't hit 19 and you keep the stock you make the .28 dividend and keep the .20 strike per share meaning each $18.50 share made you .48 or 2.59% in a single month and you still own the stock?

Why even have your own fucking stock at that point.

So many missed opportunities in this game, like the recorded memories playback. They could have made this game a banger of a detective style mystery game with a ton of hard to find clues inside those memories; instead we get three of them and it holds your hand to find every clue in every layer...

I think that I would've really enjoyed it if it wasn't the season finale. The President vs. Rick and Morty episodes are usually mindless and f7n but since this was the finale I think everyone was expecting plot development. Rick findings out that he probably has to go kill hundreds of copies of...

Yep, fucking shit sucks.

Are you talking about Bahroo? He has a huge, dedicated following and he was discussing with them that he would take Twitch up on the offer but use the money for community giveaways or something. I will tell you that I, a casual Bahroo fan, would not stay around for any amount of ads over 30...

I like Raiz; but fuck that take. If he wants a game that feels like punching yourself in the dick and calls it fun then great. 99.9% of us do not stream/game for a living and don't have that amount of time to dedicate to it.

While I agree with your line of reasoning in principle I find that it speaks to the mindset of the company and their priorities when they push the monetization over the gameplay. I really thought I was going to buy this and play the campaign because I stopped really playing Path of Exile; but...

OK, so anyone playing Maurder start in general what is the super early go to for DPS to just get to Act 3? Is it just 2 hander 3 link upgrade when possible and rely on a totem for kiting hard stuff?

What fucking part of my answer makes it seems like I don't like ARPGs? I fucking LOVE them and I want them to be complicated but fair. The issues I have with all of them is either that they are too fucking braindead (no trading, smart loot, infinitely refundable skill system) or the ones that...

Enjoy your $70 game, paid battle passes, paid microtransactions, and paid DLC.

Yes you can. These games are not competitive; there is no reward for being OP other than that you can clear the game faster and letting your players feel powerful is something that makes them play longer. Many many POE players, myself included, talk about the staying in the league that...
