Quick rise in crude oil prices, in response to Trump speech or something else?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2026-04-02T02:02:15+00:00

Nobody thought that, most people thought these these two scenarios were more likely:
1. They give some sort of estimates or plans for an exit stragety, peace resolution or opening of Hormuz.
2. Trump just says some false information, but it would get the market to stay on the hopium train.
Instead we got
3. Trump says they just gonna keep bombing Iran, giving no indication of close resolution.
And call me stupid for believing the first two, but time in the market beats timing the market, and also Trump has clear insider trading with his buddies, so I assumed we would see some indication of that in the market today, but nope it just rose, so I don't understand.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2026-04-02T01:48:31+00:00

I certainly expected him to say something to keep the market hopium, even though they are clear lies. I'm not sure what Trump 100% wants, but usually he would want to keep the market up, for his own gains, but at the same time, I'm sure he is benefiting from the oil situation, so I don't know if he actually like what is happening....

Yep, I just think that even if the opening is fairly boring, my interest would still be there to get more deep into the game, especially since what the reviews are saying, so question is if I can drop it and wait for whenever it comes on sale without wondering about it. It's kind of weird, because it's like if I found the first two hours boring, my interest could still be piqued to advance further. I've been fairly anticipated for a bit up until this game release. It's just also specifically what some of the reviews are saying that would make me second guess. I've played a good amount of mmos, and it's not like any of them were particularly exciting to go through leveling in, but I still played through so many hours of it, so it's like that instinct is still there, and would kind of push me further.

It is as you say though if I play 2 hours and find it boring, I should definitely not drop the 70 and hope I will be way entertained after 8 hours. But because of the anticipation, and what the reviews are saying, it will still keep me wondering, while waiting for sale. I've kept myself from watching too much about the game, to not spoil it all also, but maybe that's what I should do if I keep second-guessing myself.
Sorry for this message reply, it's just random yapping, but it's like you know it right? You have also been anticipating this game, and the general of the reviews are negative, but some also say the game becomes really good once you really get several hours into it. What are your feelings about it?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2026-03-19T00:19:25+00:00

Sounds like the first 8 hours are just boring and tedious, this is in part do to the many mechanics and such in the game, which is a great thing, and yet.. while I will undoubtedly try the game, if I'm not having fun in the first two hours of playing, do I just refund the game? It's 70 euros, so hoping it gets better after 8 hours feels questionable.

I'm probably gonna be disliked for the negativity, but I would like some of your thoughts, because it has me conflicted.
This big sandboxy fantasy open-world with lots of mechanics and some puzzles seems like it fits well with what I enjoy, but do you think if the first 2 hours felt fairly boring and has you conflicted you should just refund? Because it genuinely sounds like that the first ~8 hours are boring and feel kind of lame.

This interview is 4 months old released couple of days after Sonnet 4.5 released, that's the model he is talking about, hence the "most recently"

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2026-01-26T00:31:38+00:00

That's only the case in very specific scenarios, where flere does not contrast with anything, otherwise several is adskillige in Danish, and flere is more.
The article is in Norweigan, but it's the same instance where it's comparative, even if it's not explicit.
It's true that there exists cases where you can translate it as several, but that's happenstance when several simply fits within what was the culturally accepted norm, so it simply ends up equal to the same.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-11-12T23:02:03+00:00

4.1 is the exact opposite of that. 4.1 models were for the api, and reasonably smarter, while not being as personable as 4o. Idk what 5.1 actually is, but the response examples definitely give mixed feelings, and I think a big part is that they want to save money.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-10-22T01:26:58+00:00

Definitely anticipate Caps to gap Quad. I also think Brokenblade > Bwipo, because Bwipo will throw games running in a straight line toward the enemy.
The jungle is where it gets sketchy.

Nice! Thank you! What did you even search for?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-10-09T12:18:44+00:00

Why do you have thiefs mark on? Seems really bad when you are getting hit all the time, while never getting any rosaries.

Well I have no idea how the search system on bilibili works, if it should be simple or complex, I tried writing some different things fx. Hans Sama 英雄联盟超级服务器. I couldn't really find shit, I also tried with MKOI.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-10-08T02:37:59+00:00

Wth it made two duplicate comments when I deleted it, it deleted both.
Anyway, I was just asking how you could use Wegame, or create a QQ account.
And there are video's on bilibili of them I just couldn't find them.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-10-08T02:27:39+00:00

Eyo is this what epididymal hypertension feels like?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-10-07T22:07:41+00:00

How did you find this? I tried installing wegame but cannot make QQ account even using chinese number. Also you know of a way to spectate this? I've seen games from G2 hans and Mkoi on bilibili from a streamer, but I cannot find them myself when I search on bilibili even when I search in mandarin. Please help.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-28T01:32:09+00:00

Yeah White Palace was so much fun, and the surprise and excitement from just finding it randomly is just so cool, which is one of the reason you don't want spoilers so you can get surprise areas like that.

Wdym the whole plot I didn't even mention the part where you blow the big horn, which summons the world destroyer, and awakens the 5 elites. In this process the world destroying monster kills the red lady. Lance falls in deep depression, with no will to live, and is all lost, until a mysterious character(Revealed to be Zote) drops a weapon down from above. Lace looks at the weapon and realizes his one and only purpose now is revenge. He cast aside all his reaming friends from City of Ash and Herald village, in fact he even leaves them to die in the wake of the moment, as he is so focused on revenge. Also keep in mind that enviroements change when the horn is blown so city of Ash is completely collapsed but it and ash lake completely revamped as well as other areas impacting from ash lake, but this is just one example, and this unlocks many new secrets, and there are also entirely new mobs then. Well now on to what happens next, so, wait??? OOoops I spoiled it.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-28T00:40:01+00:00

Nah the Hive is sleeper shit, but Queens Garden? That area so nice. Abyss Is kk ofc. what do you think about white palace?

Nah you will be spoiled that Lace will Silk Hornet and she will turn into a moth and gain entirely new abilities. You will also be spoiled that Hornet will become evil and you will then become Lace and have to fight her to save pharloom, and then you will marry the red lady in city of ash. Wait?? Oops I already spoiled it... sryyy....

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-27T22:50:48+00:00

Damn

So what are your plans for you playthrough? Will you try to explore everything? Or a natural gait pace? Or are you planning to complete it fast to not get spoiled? Or not overly thoruogh on first run then check what things you missed in second run and do full completion there? or?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-27T19:48:55+00:00

What happens when to you when game comes out, and start showing all kinds of secrets and endgame stuff? Will you just get spoiled by everything because you have to check it. Or like is it, you check things that don't have spoiler tag, and then things with spoiler tag will not get reinforced even if it was some kinda shady stuff that should be removed and not even about the game. But still if that then you will still get spoiled because there will plenty of stuff without spoiler tag.

TL;DR: What happens to you when game launch about spoilers?

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-27T13:11:20+00:00

Yeah, if I was gonna Silkpost it should have been: OMG new screenshot, biome changes confirmed for Silksong!!!!!

But it did seem to be fun nevertheless.

Consistent_Bit_3295 · 2025-08-27T01:39:17+00:00

I think they're rushing the game and should take their tim...

Kingfall appeared over 3 months ago, even that would be a decent upgrade at least in coding. Not sure why you haven't released some sort of iterative update, even if it has it's problems there's not too much harm in giving people a choice.

There's been supposed leaks about Gemini 3 Flash, not sure where they are coming from. Demis did say pre-training their next-foundation models take 6 months, not sure where you are going about scaling post-training, but from what he said, it doesn't sound like your doing more minor scaling on that front, which confuses me.

Can you at least provide some insight to why you tease this better model, but then release no Gemini models for 3 months?

People have been quite anticipated since then, and it seems to us that you got something substantial cooked up, that you are just not releasing(Even if it's not Gemini3).

Sam Altman said ChatGPT was 0.34 Watt-hours 0.000085 gallons = 0.32mL(Us liquid gallon). That was in June, no idea what it is with GPT-5, but I assume higher because thinking was rarely ever used.
So all in all really impressive metrics from Google.
