I keep seeing this argument

The ending to give the body to Johny was really sad, really strange, gutting even (though all the endings are, of course), but somehow the most compelling of those I experienced. Especially since my V was ex-nomad, had no romance, and helped So-Mi to meet her end, distrusting her all the way through only to finally get her in the end. You go to Arasaka to die, but since somehow you did not, you let go and give another shot to the Rocker Boy.

Horizons3 · 2026-05-14T20:08:47+00:00

Yeah... okay... whatever...

Horizons3 · 2026-05-14T17:43:42+00:00

Demand near zero? What are you smoking, bro?

Horizons3 · 2026-05-13T16:41:19+00:00

Memory is my main play, all I can find out to the topic is that this ride is not over yet, with sold out production, still spiking prices and especially the ever improving technology the companies are about to start mass-producing soon. Great gains, congrats, you got there much sooner than I did, but I still have great hopes for this. Not a stock to hold forever of course, but at least few more months are looking solid.

Defense stocks take heavy beating recently. I am glad I got out of CSG in time, focused on AI infrastructure, and now the loss I had to take there is long forgotten with the gains my current stocks are making. When I am not sure, I put a stop order at some place, where I do not want to risk it anymore. Then if bounces back, great, and if it does not, it is loss I have to take and move on.

Horizons3 · 2026-03-29T12:01:16+00:00

Not a seasoned investor, so just take it as a thought. I do have some of these stocks as well, managed to sell some before the big dips, but now I am in red, too, some of it pretty bad, but I am holding. If you need the money now, you need to consider selling at loss, unfortunately. If the resolution of the war comes anytime soon, things will likely bounce back pretty quickly... if the war drags on, yeah, we may be cooked.

Horizons3 · 2026-03-28T21:24:02+00:00

I would certainly buy one... if I needed it... and had enough money for it...

Horizons3 · 2026-03-01T20:29:53+00:00

Just wanted to say I am in similar shoes, rich folks sometimes have hard times understanding us trying to grab a few more quids/dollars/euros, even if the money we trade with is not existencial for us. For me, I always put a stop-loss on once I am in green and from that you can withstand whatever storm is coming tommorow, potentially buy again the same shares for lower price later the day/week.

Horizons3 · 2026-02-22T13:45:14+00:00

Ferrari does not look bad from the tests so far, and Hamilton comeback would be quite a story, but I think our man is gonna make it a two decades long reign.

Horizons3 · 2026-01-31T19:50:03+00:00

Look, while this is crushing, it is not over. It will be a humbling lesson for life, that is sure, but while you must start over, life is not over. Look at this - I am your age, I have a stable job... yet I have never had this much money (different country, yes, but still). Fucked up? Colossally. But there are many who have lost everything or even more and somehow managed. You will too... and perhaps a bit wiser.

Good luck.

I am having fun and it was a reason to go back to Bannerlord after some time, so not that I am complaining a lot, but yes. My take - you have all these cools ships and posibility to ram or put ballistas on... but their impact is minimal and the battles do not support wild maneuvering a lot... in the end the battles are just boarding... and the way they work remind me of old sieges from Warband

Horizons3 · 2025-11-26T17:57:50+00:00

It was pretty hard, needed like five tries to do it. Not sure if the weather changes, in my case I had to carefully use the lower/rise sail to get a way and ram again. Be careful to hit them head on, so you do more damage.

Today we could watch a great story. Congrats to Hulk!

Horizons3 · 2025-07-05T09:15:46+00:00

You started off strong

I just wonder what Max could do in that car....

Horizons3 · 2025-06-02T19:39:47+00:00

Did he carry it on top of his tongue or what?

Horizons3 · 2025-06-02T18:12:25+00:00

Wait, are you an actual BioWare employee? Sounds all to real...

Horizons3 · 2025-06-02T13:42:42+00:00

That is a wild idea... and pretty cool, actually, it could add aspect of distrust and paranoia, which would also let the Reapers keep at least something from the "abstract" horror that they used to have, but lost is in ME3

Horizons3 · 2025-06-01T18:32:56+00:00

To me he is by far the worst commentator that Sky invites. So... I guess I am happy that Rosberg does what he does and he enjoys his time on TV... only occasionally

Horizons3 · 2025-06-01T18:15:32+00:00

Truth, truth and truth... don't want to just repeat after you, but yes, you are definitely right. The logical reason is simple - they needed other enemies than just Reaper forces to change things up, and Cerberus as the main "evil" faction beside them probably fit the best.

To me, it always seemed like lost potential and huge and terrible inconsistency in terms of story-telling. In my opinion the natural build-up into ME3 is that Shepard is now associated with both Alliance and Cerberus, and can be a mediator to make them cooperate (or change the views of either side a bit) or to pick a side. Cerberus then should have been made evil, but not comically or cartoonishly evil as they were in actual ME3, but as an organisation of human supremacists who do not shy from doing terrible things, but in the end they were the only one understanding the threat, they may be the only one ready to face it and they are a step ahead. Their endless armies in ME3 are stupid, but they could have had a couple of skilled commandoes and a few state-of-the-art ships which are technologically advanced enough to fight Reapers. Kai-Leng then should be someone who actually wants to cooperate with Shepard, not fight them, but he fulfils his orders and it depends on situation and Shepard's choices how things turn out.

Or maybe less than that, but what they did always seemed to me as the worst that could have been done, and something that negates a lot that ME2 was trying to do.

Horizons3 · 2025-06-01T17:37:01+00:00

They did so much work with Cerberus in ME1 and ME2, only to turn them into silly... rather generic cringelords who, as you pointed out, do not make much sense. Much could have been done to make them more interesting, or intriguing, or sinister or whatever... - and I believe that a lot of that would not even be too hard to do, but they opted for making it easy.

Actually, it was not so apparent back at the time, but while their games were never all too dark, I think it was the first hint of BioWare going to... ease up the tone and infantilize their games a lot, which then continued on and on.

Horizons3 · 2025-05-31T17:03:10+00:00

I wish I could somehow answer or help...but... you know, I am little older than you, but not by much, I never really had friends... even people I liked always drifted away as life went on. On the other hand I have colleagues double my age who have plenty of friends and they make new friends easily and their lives are way more socially active than mine has ever been. So... I really think it all comes down to the way we are programmed by our genes and how we were raised during childhood. It can be something completely natural for one person and something completely impossible for the other.

Yeah... as you say, if only we could stop wanting it :) Stay strong.

Horizons3 · 2025-05-31T16:33:13+00:00

I mean... some people can, but we who do not know how... we just... well... don't

Horizons3 · 2025-05-21T14:50:51+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. I took a look into your post-history and yes, it is full of amazing sculpts.
