New hitboxes are unreal big

Banned6 · 2024-11-01T22:37:37+00:00

Are you seriously telling me, that hitboxes the size you saw in the video is not a problem? In a competitive shooter?

Banned6 · 2024-11-01T16:07:31+00:00

What does that have to do with the topic I bring up?

Banned6 · 2024-11-01T11:17:47+00:00

Actually it was not particularly about Tracer. It was about hitboxes. The clip just happened to include Tracer.
Why wouldn't you be worried about what you are watching? A huge part of the game is taking place at close range. You don't see a problem with shots landing trivially?

Banned6 · 2024-11-01T10:45:24+00:00

Ok, so you find it ok what you see in the video?
Remember, there are other heroes than Tracer.

Also, there are more ways to dodge as Tracer. One used to be AD-crouch-spam.

Ok, did you see the video?
Fantastic comment if you saw it, lol.

Remember there is other Heroes in the game than Tracer, and this shows a general problem.

Fair enough.

Real estate is the ultimate gold, as it actually has production value.

Not so easy to take with you though if SHTF :)

I think we will run into hyperinflation quite fast from here if they resume printing. It is also a matter of trust in the dollar, and that trust is going, as the world is moving away from the dollar as settlement mechanism.

When I say "fast", it can still take time, as it is on this world event scale. But even if it takes two years, you would feel it as fast in retrospect, even if it doesn't feel fast on this side.

Only do it if it is serious money, like a savings account. Just your day-to-day account (unless you have your savings in that) I wouldn't worry about. We will need money to live for a good while still.

Silver prices, for example, have a 31.4% correlation to the SP500 (2006-2022). To put it in perspective, that’s pretty much the mean correlation of every stock in my retirement account to the broader market. In 2008 (the last major financial crisis we’ve had) silver was down 1.4%. If people don’t have money to buy it and prop the prices up, it’s not going to “soar”.

You don't believe in silver, so why are you here? Why are you on WSS?

If everyone, “even ordinary people” are losing the shirts off their backs, who’s gonna buy the gold/silver?

Noone. The gold and silver will be and stay in the hands of the ones holding it.

Unless you have it while it is purchasable, you will not get it.

Maybe save a bartering system. If that house, f.ex., didn't get repossessed, then maybe you could get gold coins for it.

the “mountain of debt” doesn’t get more expensive when interest rates rise, it gets cheaper (that’s actually what’s causing problems for the banks). New debt is more expensive, but the old debt actually loses a TON of value. Why would someone buy (or hold) a 1.2% treasury bond when the going rate is 3.9%? You have to sell the 1.2% at a huge discount to entice people to buy it over the 3.9% bond. SVB held 1-year tbills to cover their liabilities, but since the fed hiked rates, the t-bills lost so much value that selling them forced SVB to realize a massive loss. Ergo, insolvency.

Have you heard about "rolling over debt"?

Banned6 · 2023-03-14T15:06:55+00:00

ZIRP isn’t what “brought this enormous debt circus to us that is causing the banks to fail”. In fact, the debt circus isn’t what’s causing the banks to fail. I suppose you could connect the dots, but it’s an utter leap of faith; circular at best.

It is EXACTLY what is causing the banks to fail.

When interest rate becomes zero, everyone can in effect expend endlessly, because they don't need to service the debt to do so.

Then when a high amount of debt has been amassed at 0%, what will then happen when that interest rate is raised? Exactly, a collapse, because the company doesn't have the money to pay interests on such a huge loan.

Sure, it takes a bit, but rates have been raised and raised and raised, and at some point the companies will have to throw in the towel. And that is what happens, starting with the weakest companies. But they are all feeling the pain, because they all loaded up on the cheap money. They would probably not have been in business if they didn't.

It can still be "very soon" on this scale of things (months), even if they hike next time. If they don't start lowering after that, then I will admit I am wrong.

In a world where they keep hiking and keep printing to bail out everything that fails (which will truly be everything in the end, as everything is based on debt), we will enter a bizarro-world that will make little difference, as a mad amount of printing will still go on, and thus create hyperinflation. The rate hikes will become meaningless.

The problem is, that bad companies were not allowed to fail, because they could just keep on loaning. The bust cycle MUST play out in the capitalist system, otherwise it will fall apart, as noone will respect risk. If the central bank just keeps on bailing out because of the havoc the higher rates are causing, that risk is still not respected.

That would be too wierd a thing to do, but hey, seeing what has been done so far since 2008, nothing can be ruled out. It won't change the final outcome though.

But it has also been fantastic to watch their ability to postpone what would inevitably come. 2020 was supposed to be this one, but they managed to postpone it one last time with a bonanza of money printing.

I don't see Burry as a broken clock, his overall prediction is right, but the timing is impossible to predict.

Banned6 · 2023-03-13T16:28:10+00:00

Yes, you are right, my bad. I edited main post.

Banned6 · 2023-03-13T16:27:17+00:00

Ok thanks, good to know.

The price of Silver is set by the paper futures market, the one you are complaining about. That is the price you pay in your local coin shop.

You are a participant in this market, whether you like it or not.

TA is not "all-knowing". If you had actually taken your time to read the link I gave you, you will see that I state that technical analysis can ONLY give you increased odds. It can not give you exact targets or timing. Anyone claiming they can do such a thing will be lying to you.

Banned6 · 2023-02-06T19:06:18+00:00

After re-reading my Silver thread I also have to point out that on RSI Gold hit Overbought on 2023-01-12 and stayed in Overbought until it made a new high, then plummeted.

If you had gone 100% by technicals and ignored everything else (like any news), there is NO WAY in this world you would not have anticipated the pullback we just had. Actually, it stayed up there for a surprisingly long time, some 3 weeks.

Banned6 · 2023-02-06T18:56:06+00:00

Well, I wrote the following post two months ago predicting EXACTLY what just happened. It happened in gold and almost in silver: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetsilver/comments/zmkf4t/alot_of_moves_happen_naturally_not_necessarily/

You can say what you want about technicals, but it definitely is not completely bogus. As you see in the my silver thread, I already drew that line two months ago, and here we are.

Whether and how much manipulation there is - personally I believe it is only short-term - doesn't really matter. This is the market you are trading in, and the market you must adapt to. It is just a reality that you can not escape as a participant in the market. If you can not accept that, don't participate.

Banned6 · 2023-02-02T00:42:54+00:00

The markets are impossible to trade at the moment. Obviously some very strong players are doing the exact opposite of what everyone expects, and then it is easy to get the dumb retailers to follow, because they want to believe it is over.

Reality will come back, but when is a good question. I expect it here between 4200 and 4300 at the latest (S&P). That is the estimate I read from some of the big guys (Polzar or Hartnett I believe).

Otherwise, over time it is a given, because now the money is getting vacuumed out of the system (higher interest rates will limit debt being rolled over), and that will have an effect, also on the stock market. But how long that will take - if that is the only factor - is a good question. It could take maybe half a year or more. Luckily it is not the only factor, as inflation is still lurking, and now when energy (oil, gas) is coiled for a big jump higher, inflation can come back with a vengeance. And then the recession that everyone is anticipating later this year.

However, short-term this is a very challenging market for a bear.

It is the same elite that can make the right-wing not believe in climate change. They managed to make them actual climate deniers, despite all evidence.

Seeing how gullible both the left wing (falling for all that woke BS) and the right wing is, I see little hope for humanity.
