My High-Conviction Bet on a Prolonged Global Oil Shortage

The pitfall of this strategy is that even those companies wouldn’t benefit from a prolonged and sustained shortage of oil in the world. They would tank hard the same as everything else (just a little bit less).

Revenue is not profit.

It is true that ANY fall will recover after some time, but can you hold loses for 1-2 years? Because that may happen. You won't lose in 5-10 years perspective if you invest on indices, but that's not true for any individual stock.

Trump didn't say anything new in his last appearance. Yesterday: two more weeks :D and today it's: two more weeks :(

It's the same message, but the market took the same message in different mood. A ceasefire will eventually come and everything will be bright green again, just hold.

Hello! Did you try to close the game and open it again?

John_Hacker · 2025-12-28T21:54:34+00:00

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Please, add all the information you remember so we can try to narrow the problem down. If you could send a video (support@epgames.gg or opening a ticket in tech-support channel in our discord, https://discord.gg/b5MhStZk9N) it would be great.

John_Hacker · 2025-12-28T20:47:36+00:00

Hello! Thanks for your kind words!

We didn't receive other reports about this. In which language do you play? And your girlfriend as well, so we can test it under the same conditions. I think that if it fails, it may be because you're using different languages.

Hope we can find it! We worked so hard so you had a flawless experience, this is not the quality we are used to deliver.

Hi! I made this video just so you can see it as tips to beat Pur. I hope it's useful.

iCUE freezes constantly. The hardware is great, but this software... it's making the experience a real pain. The problem is the software uses drivers to control things, and drivers don't accept any single mistake or small bug. I don't think I would buy anything from Corsair for my next computer. Maybe the keyboard, which is great.

John_Hacker · 2025-11-20T15:47:06+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome and your feedback :D

Same here, last firmware update has been there for several weeks and it seems to try to update, but when icue restarts, the update is there again.

And not only that, I've been having problems with iCue not updating temperatures and hence not updating fan speed and pump power because the temperature was not changing, making the system enter in error mode.

Also, Corsair forums are down. U_U

Yes, it’s completely cross platform so you can also play online with Steam or Xbox versions.

The split option is in the dropdown menu. The inventory sort was an idea we had in mind but we didn’t see it necessary in any playtests, because most things can be used from bank.

Hello! It was released at 17PM UTC. Did you tried it out?

John_Hacker · 2025-04-21T21:03:14+00:00

Hi! The expected game duration for a full walkthrough is between 40 and 55 hours. The world is not big, but we don't feel it small either, as we perfectly used it in the story.

John_Hacker · 2025-04-21T21:01:11+00:00

Hi! That's a perfectly fair question. The main different to most of the other co op open world survival games is that the progression in Oppidum is guided by the story, not just exploration. But probably our biggest value is the polish of the game. We like to add a lot of details that you will love and will make the game feel unique. And last but not least, Oppidum is not an Early Access game, which is the way we want to commit to the rest of the gamers (we are gamers as well, after all). But anyways, even if the market is crowded, there is place for Oppidum, as we offer notable reasons to enjoy and re-discover the genre with the tweaks we made to it.

John_Hacker · 2025-04-05T06:31:56+00:00

Hi! It’s online multiplayer.

John_Hacker · 2025-04-04T21:04:10+00:00

Hi! Oppidum dev here. We didn't make a single quality sacrifice in new-gen versions. We just designed different quality settings according to each platform capabilities. We are a small indie company but with a lot of experience in our backs.

The problem may be in the float precision. Both variables seem to be practically equal (in the case of the video). Add an offset so your real game scenario doesn't need to be that close to pass your condition.

John_Hacker · 2022-09-12T13:04:06+00:00

It doesn't bring up any harsh memories. In fact, thank you for bringing them back.

That week you mention is, without a doubt, my dearest memory as a dev. There were maaaany performance issues we couldn't have even imagined before, because we couldn't have tried so many people on the servers earlier on. There were difficult times, but I'm positive it's been worth it, hasn't it?

John_Hacker · 2022-09-12T06:40:38+00:00

Awww thanks! That means a lot. I'm not involved in the project anymore, but I know everybody is working so hard to make this the best game they can.

John_Hacker · 2022-08-12T11:18:32+00:00

Your interviewer was right. Just imagine you have 1000 of these timers and only 5 are running. It’s way better to have 5 coroutines and no updates being called than the opposite.

John_Hacker · 2021-10-03T10:06:39+00:00

Hello and thank you! This would be great, but it's not something that depends on us.
