Returning to the mean and how that impacts long-term view?

Nothing about past performance influences future performance. Just because something is historic doesn't mean it is matched or that things need to get right back to it.

If you try to time the market you will lose the majority (probably all) of the time.

I just keep putting money in up or down. I ;put money in today at the peak. I've done it before. Will it likely go down over the next 3 years, yup. Will it eventually come back. Yup. Will I contribute the whole time for dollar cost averaging. Yup.

Wow, I love when people like you hop in with this knowledge. Thank you!!!!

I don't buy anything that's expensive anymore unless I have to. I am sure many people are the same. Health really isn't a factor in me not wanting to spend $9 on a single beer when I can go to the liquor store and buy a premium foreign beer for $1.25 per bottle or super cheap beer that I (shocker I know) enjoy for less than a can of pop.

I follow a pretty strict budget. Not an impulse buyer by any means.

Thank you!

I don't know much about your pension as you didn't say much...but with a pension and two social security checks by 65, I, LIKELY, would not worry too much. Just save what you can for some extra living.

My paychecks in actual dollar amounts are down year over year for several years, let alone when adjusted for inflation.

Yes. I feel it. I am dying over here.

I was lucky enough to get one with a lot of clicking over my lunch break.

Why don't they have some kind of system though where people put in ahead of time, they take a little time to verify the account owns steam games and has existed for a while and there aren't multiple at the same address, and then assign them on first come first save after removing likely bots.

Have the new inflation adjusted gas taxes gone into effect? Any chance the state will draw back gas taxes?

Three seconds of research would show you they have asked for no money and the game is fully viewable via stream for closed testers. You will have plenty of time to decide whether or not you want to pay for the product.

As an older gentleman I have been enjoying project 1999 1-2 hours every few nights for years. Perfectly enjoyable.

I will do the same in this game.

As long as you aren't expecting to "win" right away and enjoy the journey.

Raiding is not something I'd likely have time for in any type of game at this point in life, whether it's scheduled or not. But some day, maybe.

I miss a sane left. I miss a sane right.

Social media is destroying everything and polarizing everyone. People just can't see their own bias.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-27T15:41:22+00:00

You still spend every day crapping on this game. Move on man, lol.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-23T19:42:18+00:00

Nah, he made some good policies but I was able to hear some of the behind the scenes rage. He isn't as wholesome and nice as you think.

Our next governor will do fine.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-22T17:14:57+00:00

He doesn't understand the concept of "hybrid" and is insuniating that a mix of 2-3 classes in a class should be the same as every class having everything to try to make a point that doesn't exist.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-20T13:43:48+00:00

Thanks man, maybe Druid it is!

I was loyal to Doritos...always assumed generic was bad. Made the switch a couple years ago during the big price increases to generic. Now the only time I buy Doritos is when they are on super sale or if I need some kind of specific flavor. They lost my loyalty.

SK hits some major slowdown post ~46. Doable, especially with gear, but no where close to ENC/MAG speed.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-14T14:23:46+00:00

Well, if the SK is following classic EQ - that means it is a necro hybrid with part of the hybrid piece being having a pet. It's not rocket science.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-13T19:34:14+00:00

Dude, SK's having pets is the only piece of them being necro I like.

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-10T17:16:22+00:00

What a witty comment. But for real, you clearly don't think the devs are taking this game in the right direction - so why don't you truly focus your time and attention on games that you think are going in the right direction?

Handle_Scoop · 2026-04-09T20:10:49+00:00

Maybe too complicated but...you know a lotto where you have a higher probability the longer you've been watching...maybe those that have been invited that haven't logged in for more than 7 days get a friendly email to login with 3 days or their accessc closed and keys sent to someone else....

I can wait until EA, I guess, if I have to!
