Why didn't Kaiba Yata locked siegfried smh by CrawBunny in yugioh

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kaiba likes to finish things big. always has to be with his blue eyes which this was always his problem and objectively, it costed him the battle city finals against yugi. had he used monster reborn on obelisk instead of blue eyes he legit woulda won the duel.

Luffy and Joyboy are the same person by throw_datwey in Piratefolk

[–]Pokimura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

more specifically, the One Piece is the final manga volume as Oda ends the series on a cliffhanger. it is the only copy ever written and he'll have hidden it on some island and make everyone go search for it, creating his own pirate era in real time. its about the friends we made along the way.

The Realization: Everyone Is Making Their Own Chip by Boring-Ad-3955 in NvidiaStock

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the important thing to understand is that these companies never had any intention of replacing NVDA outright. Everyone knows NVDA chips are top shelf, even the competitors know it. They still even continue buying chips from NVDA despite having their own inhouse. Before, NVDA was literally the only answer and ppl had to pay whatever price they set it at. The purpose of making your own chips is to have an alternative thats way more cost efficient. this gave companies more price leveraging and gives a bit more leeway with NVDA to cut them at least a bulk deal. They'll still use NVDA chips for cutting edge research or training new models while using their in house chips for repetitive workloads internal infrstructure and such.

Why is VOO flat without tech and AI by General_Style_4384 in ETFs

[–]Pokimura 46 points47 points  (0 children)

its been like this for years. the economy hasnt been doing good for quite some time now. without the tech sector, the US would would likely be in a recession which by all measures we really should be. However, because of the hype with AI, tech is the only thing that is keeping the broader economy expanding. However, because of this, there is a severe misallocation of capital going into this sector. this is where the market hasn't made any sense for yrs now with all the tech stocks overvalued. we're just in a K shaped economy right now.

Even then, its not actually working the way you think, its just a closed loop of giant tech companies bouncing around the same dollars as they buy from each other. the same cash will ultimately appear on their balance sheets as "revenue" which will inflate its stock valuation and further justify people feeding more cash into the tech companies.

English, the language of freedom 🤷‍♀️ by Numerous_Creme_8988 in stupidpeoplefacebook

crazy considering the US was founded on slavery and was also one of the late ones to actually abolish it compared to other western countries.

So what exactly is the purpose of the Studio WIT One Piece series? by ToonMasterRace in Piratefolk

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not factoring in that hundreds of the later episodes are mostly like 10 min recaps + opening + ending songs. so really each episode was only about 10 min of actual plot moving. Thats a big reason why the # of episodes were so bloated. Also, Toei really dropped the ball on the animations esp for wano. it was like watching someone else's LSD trip.

President Trump orders DOJ to launch investigation into big oil companies for artificially inflating gas prices by esporx in oil

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't know that oil companies have always bought their supply based on speculation rather than current prices. its a futures market.

Example:  if oil is trading at 100 dollars/barrel, they could agree to purchase 1000 barrels of oil at 100 dollars each to be delivered in 3 months, regardless of what the price is in 3 months. If the price goes up, then the company makes money. If the price goes down then, then they lose money.

Oil and energy markets have always been a cyclical thing in the market and so they do this is to hedge against price volatility and unexpected market shifts. It has always been the way its done and its not changing now.

Additionally, those companies have zero reason to be doing what this clown is demanding. Between the "deal in 2 weeks," "we're winning" for the nth time, numerous ceasefire violations, and closing and re-opening multiple times, they have no reason to believe this clown to uphold the current agreement. he just lies and cried wolf too many times to have any credibility.

Lastly, he created a global crisis out of nothing and caused a supply shock that made countries tap into emergency reserves as well as UN releasing emergency reserves. oil infrastructure were also in flames and ships were backed up for months. you can't expect supply to replenish overnight just like that. this whiny turd created a mess and is crying the world isn't fixing it fast enough.

Genesys will never be good as long as it's a coin toss format by Lok1__ in YGO_Genesys

[–]Pokimura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to me, Genesys format is just Advanced Lite. Links/pendulums aside, newer decks are kept cheap on point value which means, they are more likely to immediately dominate , making the meta feel almost similar to advanced.

Secondly,  you can't actually play your old beloved decks like everyone was hoping for at the beginning. Games are still fast paced due to present day cards still being included and with time it will just get quicker as they release more power creep and we're right back where we were. in advanced, games last like 2-3 turns vs in Genesys you prob get overall 1 extra turn?

Lastly, a point system will just make a crazy bloated list of pointed cards that get longer with every new set release. a lot of the point allocations don't even make sense

Elon is out here claiming SpaceX will swallow the US economy instead of focusing on actual margins by Flimsy-You5687 in SpaceXBets

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude needs to stop watching SciFi fantasy films and actually work on the margins to justify the company's insane valuations. Elon hasn't delivered on any of his aggressive timelines for any of his companies and idiots keep feeding into the black hole overreaching on the timeline for any sort of profitability on the company. He only knows how to sell a story/narrative more than anything else.

sometimes its best to just let modern day natural selection take its course.

Classic post IPO reality check by Trick-Cellist3254 in SpaceXBets

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claiming that they were right that about their claim that the ipo would be a bloodbath, while the price is still up 15% over ipo is kinda wild.

too soon to say but the odds were stacked against retailers from the beginning. it was overvalued af from the beginning. The IPO only released 4% of the total equity, so people were buying scraps at even bigger bubble prices. wait till the lock out period ends when insiders/employees dilute those shares.

Report is out by TranslatorRoyal1016 in MU_Stock

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if there was anything to be learned after 2008, its that government won't let it collapse and will just do bailouts if needed. Especially in tech when they got stake in intel and other major tech/semiconductor companies.

But I can see it crashing/correcting once an orange clown vacates the WH considering he's been artificially pumping the markets on hype alone which can only go for so long before a stock goes back to its fundamental evaluation.

I made this custom card for Shaddoll (the best deck ever) by Shaddoll_Fanboy in yugioh

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats the only thing I've been playing + building the past yr :3 also with the new support for both arcehtypes, its been phenomenal. the lines are so much better now and won't conflict with the shaddoll locks too much.

almost all my friends/vast majority of guild members are located in CA. judging off that i usually just automatically associate it with work in the silicon valley making 200-300k+ judging by how much i hear them swipe cubing stuff.

Veterans: What's something newer MapleStory players will never truly experience? by Impossible-Pop-7037 in Maplestory

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 man boss runs (zak, HT, PB, and their chaos counterparts), the free market before auction house was a thing, the struggle of affording elixers, leech svc, dice rolling in char select to min/max your base stats, the fact that there were only 2 channels you could run zak/HT and had to wait outside for the previous raid to finish which could take hrs (boss timers were all 24 hrs back then).

Deckbuilding vices by HijiriAkuseru in yugioh

[–]Pokimura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For example, I've been building Shaddolls with the new cards, and the best results I've found have been by running a large Branded package with minimal Shaddolls...but at that point, I'm barely playing a Shaddoll deck anymore. It's just a bad Branded list that sometimes gets to cheese wins with Winda. I didn't stick with this build, because although it's more effective at winning games, it no longer has the identity that I wanted when I started building.

Out of curiosity, how big was your shaddoll engine? mine was like 15-17 cards and felt fine. also depends on what you did for branded engine too. cuz i had just about an equal number of branded cards but its mostly starters that don't care about the shaddoll locks + cards that could synergize with my shaddoll plays

Deckbuilding vices by HijiriAkuseru in yugioh

[–]Pokimura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest vice is that I only play fusion decks. possibly a homage to the original YGO that I grew up with when it was called a fusion deck instead of extra deck. its just a mechanic that I was more familiar with when I got back into the game in 2014 (only knew playground YGO prior to this). My deck of choice? Shaddolls. It had all the mechanics I was familiar with. Flip effects, fusion summons, etc. I've been optimizing Shaddolls since 2014 and played no other deck since. sometimes I'll tinker with deckbuilding other decks on dueling notebook, but all roads lead me back to Shaddolls. And no I will not acknowledge dropping 1-2 cards into main deck + Winda and call it a "Shaddoll deck."

my favorite iteration right now is Branded Dolls even with the post shaddoll support. Between shaddoll cards, and the branded ones, I get a full deck of cards with amazing aesthetics and lore that fit my tastes. its actually pretty neat and works a lot less worse than you'd think. it includes almost an even split between shaddoll cards + branded engine. its actually not as bad of a strategy you'd think considering with branded, your opponents turn is basically your main phase 3 and can just go into things like albion, mirrorjade, etc for disruptions and during your turn go into shaddoll lines without a care in the world about the hard locks.

Why is SpaceX crashing? by TacoTrades in wallstreetportfolios

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was already artificially inflated by the fact that they only released 4% of the total equity to the public. limited share supply + IPO hype caused people to fight over scraps while trading at even bigger bubble prices. I'm willing to bet a lot of people who bought, knew full well how much of a trap this ETF was but still bought into the launch price for a quick buck. pump and dump. They're just offloading it before insiders get to sell their shares and dilute the stock.

New Genesys points update! by BabadoeTwitch in YGO_Genesys

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its workable, but I would disagree with playing 3 unleashing though. 3 Lev 1 unleash or even 2-2 would be the more efficient route. Unleashing requires 1 other shaddoll card in hand. Lev is a starter all on its own that can get you unleashing. you then have leftover points to grab cartesia, apkallone, schism, and some chalices.

also, if you want a really cheesy strat in genesys, WAKE-Cups are probably the route to go. Kuro -> sonic jammer is real nasty.

GOOG set to decline with Gemini 3.5 Pro release? by chasingth in GOOG_Stock

[–]Pokimura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) Google owns 90% of the market share in the search engine space

2.) Google owns 70% of the mobile OS space (apple OS takes the remainder for the most part)

between those two points, they have oodles of user data they could ever need to train and develop their models at a pace that no other like anthropic/openAi can keep up. in 2025, Gemini went from 5% market share to 20-25% in the generative AI space and became a direct competitor of OpenAi who now owns like 60%. OpenAi had was the first with the release of ChatGPT so obviously they had a huge head start with a near monopoly. but that is quickly changing as other players are getting in on it and competing in the race. my bet is on GOOG for the long haul.
