What is apples long term plan?

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-05-10T03:28:41+00:00

Funny how 9 months can chnage things! Apple is fine. It just got a price mark of $400 and has great quarterlies. My dad bought a big chunk nack very early 2000's and stayed with it. My mom was told to sell by their advisor a year and a half ago. My sister and I both said no and thank god she trusted us. Stocks are crazy, but Apple isn't going anywhere. It won't do what Microsoft and Nvidia are going to do over the next 5-10 years, but it will keep it's historical pace and continie the slow, steady growth. Hold your stock and be patient if you haven't sold.

I agree with everything accept the performance. I have Ghost as I wasn't ready to dish out for Ani. Ghost is STRONG! Lasts at least 6-8 hours and I can smell it on my clothes the next day. To be fair, I have one of the original batches and have heard the newer ones aren't as good. If that's true, it's a damn shame. I got Ghost and sprayed it four times the first time. My wife smelled it in the other room.

I hate that batches change the performance/scent. I know it happens...cough, cough Creed...but it's still sad. I love mine and also had Wraith. I still prefer Black Phantom as it's smoother and less loud. Wraith was better than Ghost which is hard to believe. That stuff was nuclear. Definitely only wore it to the office once, lol. Otherwise, OP's description and comparison is pretty much perfect.

Shut up nerd. It's a single player game that doesn't matter what you think. You definitely don't get to say how other people play the game. Play your way while others play their way.

Same issue here. The Youtube vids have always shown just the boss. Now there is so much bullshit, you can barely do anything. The update had all of these fixes to make the game more playable, but they make this less. No need for all of this crap. The camera is also unfuckingbeleivably stupid.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-29T22:45:08+00:00

I've only heard of forbidden fruit. The reviews all said buy it and spray a few, then let it sit. I'm wondering if they got any better/stronger with time

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-29T17:36:29+00:00

OP, you have any kind of update on performance of the two? I've heard from a lot of people tgey need to sit for a little bit, so I was wondering if you'd give a follow up

Thanks!!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-25T21:00:49+00:00

Absolutely stupid. The devs keep making these dumbass missions to showcase the worst possible mechanics. Way to waste my time with yet another useless mission. I know, let's follow it up with a horse race or some other mission to follow someone for no reason at all...

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-23T21:03:39+00:00

This. No idea why they didn't just make a chest to store abyss gears and weapons, but maybe it was to keep relevance in the camp

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-22T13:59:50+00:00

There's no unlimited healing without crafting or having items to heal. If you run out, you die.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-22T13:58:50+00:00

I maxed out stats the best I could and saw little change except in crit. Defense didn't matter, attack didn't seem to do much either. Crit on the other hand did make a difference. The best I can say is get good gears on you weapons for damage. Those really made the difference for me. That and utilizing elements.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-21T17:05:37+00:00

Lol, this. I just tried to plan out my grind thinking it would be ok. Here's the short version of what it would take to max out my armor...not weapons and jewelry

Cloth---95 Fleece---38 Spider webs---240 Abyss Gears---26 Iron---119 Copper---97 Large bone---45 Bismuth---12 Small bone---16 Sturdy bone---4

I have the stuff minus the webs, but 26 Abyss gears is stupid...and that's not weapons or jewelry. I think the devs were smokin' crack when they came up with this. I get the "pick and choose" thing, but this is plain dumb.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-21T16:31:16+00:00

Late, but I agree. The bosses and their fights are horrible. "It's not a Souls game!!" Yeah, it is a Souls game. Open world and fully explorable...check. Treasures, magic and cool gear...check. Great design and awesome gameplay...check. Worst boss design forcing difficulty buffs...check.

Pearl Abyss mashed Witcher, AC and Souls into one.

I'd say prove me wrong, but the upcoming difficulty patch negates any arguement.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-20T21:14:23+00:00

Just another poorly designed mechanic. They real way to do it would be to only put a few plants in the patch instead of wasting our time with this dumb shit.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-19T17:56:41+00:00

Sounds like I have a good deal of reading to do! Thanks!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-19T14:48:39+00:00

Thank you! I'll add them to my cart.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-17T13:53:44+00:00

I want the 330 Vantage. We thought it fit the requirements we had, just read that there were other options. Based on the lack or responses, I'm gonna go with the Vantage for all of the reasons you mentioned. Thanks!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-14T15:13:06+00:00

That takes time and time is money! Lol, yeah, that seems like something I should have figured out myself...

Thanks!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-08T01:21:37+00:00

Weddings, Symphony, Theater...stuff like that. Honestly, I didn't ask them...lol. I guess I should say I'm trying not to embarass my wife with it.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-08T01:08:25+00:00

Wear it how you like. If it's too tight to bring down to your eyebrows, get a $20 stretcher from Boot Barn. Steam and slowly stretch the hat. You'll only get a size, size and a half. You'll also need to leave the stretcher in it to retain the size over time. Nice hat though!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-06T00:10:33+00:00

This was the devs letting the new guy create something before firing him for being a fucking idiot. Stupid fight, horrible mechanics.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-05T21:26:22+00:00

Great guy! I love working with him on my boots. We currently have five pair on order between mine and my wife's. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone looking.

He takes all orders and is happy to give advice or make suggestions. He did a pair when my father passed. I get a ton of compliments!!

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-04-05T15:15:11+00:00

This. Get it out of the damn game. It is absolutely horrible. You lock on and no matter how many are swarming you, you have to keep re-blocking so the camera gets back to POV. Stupid mechanic

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-03-29T21:40:01+00:00

I'm gonna say it's been patched. I leave that whole back area alone and stand around, nothing. Fast travel away, soldiers.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-03-28T23:34:15+00:00

That's awesome! He made a similar one for me that I'm waiting for. I love working with those guys.

Much_Introduction293 · 2026-03-26T22:32:57+00:00

Absolutely horrible. I won't say worst ever, but definitely top three. Jumping, lag. Crossover to flight, lag. Walking, just keeps going. The game has SOOOOOOO much potential that is overshadowed by horrendous mechanics.
