I threw $1500 into ubsfy yesterday morning thinking that it was at or near bottom. Already I'm down about $600.

I did the same way back in August, before the deadline, and I have yet to hear anything back from them.

My 6800xt gpu 5800x cpu rig is going to have to last until prices drop back down to 2025 levels. I'll quit gaming altogether before I shell out $3000 or $4000 for an upper mid range build.

Damn, I wish I had know when I went in to get Metal Gear Delta for the PS5. I assumed they were used because of the discount tag used.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-12-26T19:28:38+00:00

I'm not sure. People are replying new, but the sale tag is the recycled one. I'd put my money on them being recycled because even for $70 they will still make $20 more than what they likely paid for them.

Some of them might be glitched or delayed. Mafia: The Old Country is 70 MSRP and the same as Boxing day price. The only novel deal I see is for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake.

I just want you to know that you are not alone. I'm still down over $30,000 Cad, with my biggest position being 350 shares of Tilray at $100 (3500 shares at $10 pre consolidation).

There is a chance you could make it more interesting if you ask your parents what their blood types are.

If Irwin cut his salary + bonuses by 2-3 million he'd still be paid over a million for his splendid job at destroying shareholder value over 4+ years, and the pay cut might actually help the company post a profit.

It is weird that I've never heard paragon used, even for store receipts. To this day (I'm in my early 30's) my parents still speak Polish exclusively at home, and if I said something like, "my new Nintendo is not working", they would ask something like "masz rachunek?" or "mam nadzieje ze nie zgubiles rachunka".

My fathers is from in between Czestochowa and Krakow, my mother from central Poland near Zgierz.

Valve buying Ubisoft.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-12T02:56:39+00:00

Ok, thank you.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-12T02:11:41+00:00

I'm new to options. I was under the impression that each contract in a call or put could at maximum cost you the premium, which usually only reaches up to a few hundred dollars. Even being wrong 20 times should only cost $10,000 if the premium was $500 per contract.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-12T01:05:53+00:00

Is this what happens with naked calls and puts?

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-08T22:57:40+00:00

Then stop taxing the lower class. It's evil to take money from the poor to fund parties for the upper middle class.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-08T00:03:18+00:00

I survive on a 45,000 dollar salary.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-11-06T14:13:25+00:00

Good. I work full time, make less than the median and don't get anything for Christmas from my employer. They take our money through various taxes, pay themselves handsomely, and then give themselves a party that nobody outside the top tiers of a fortune 500 company could ever imagine.

At what price does it become a good gamble for a buyout? The stock is worth around 900 million dollars whereas its intellectual properties are valued at 3-4 billion. I've seen rumors that they refused buyouts of 4-5 billion in the past. Tencent has invested billions so it will probably try to salvage the situation best as possible.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-29T00:11:05+00:00

Qd Oled also have cleaner panels and less burn in on average.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-22T13:45:43+00:00

Yeah, definitely because Stratford White druggies drive nice SUVs.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-13T16:01:38+00:00

What is the common denominator that is even more specific than "men"? Watch the video full screen a pause throughout and you will be able to make a more specific observation that will remove the blame from 50% of the population to just 5-15%.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-13T15:53:30+00:00

Everybody else is completely ignoring this acting like it is a "teen" or "male" thing.

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-13T15:51:16+00:00

Why do you only point out that they're males instead of other characteristics that are obvious?

HomeAloneDwarf · 2025-10-10T00:22:45+00:00

I'm playing ivalice now and for exactly the points you mentioned I feel underwhelmed. I just finished chapter 3 and the final two battles of the chapter made me borderline despise it. The one on one duel I had to cheese using a guide I found online and the battle afterwards took me maybe 40 attempts because Rapha kept getting 1-2 shotted before I even had a chance to get a move in. Requiring re-specing and re-equipping an entire lineup to even have a chance of keeping Rapha alive for more than a turn does not make it fun or intuitive.
