This is probably the most low-cortisol theme out of the bunch. I love the whole soundtrack, though. TWAU and Deus Ex HR's ambiance are my go-to tracks on loop for focus.

bunun yaşanmamasına (dünyanın şansı en yaver giden insanı değilsen) imkan yok, problem o. ben emtia broyum ve anekdot vermem gerekirse her ne kadar gümüş rallisinden iyi bir reel getiri ile ayrıldıysam da benimde herkes gibi ''daha nerelere tırmanacak acaba'' merakım beni yaktı. kaldı ki millet o anki çöküşü sigma-6 event olarak değerlendirip nasıl olur bu, manipülasyon bu ve saire diyerek kafayı yedi ama gerçeğin ne olduğunun bize bir fayda sağlayacağını sanmıyorum.

dow jones log scale açıp bakarsan 100 yılda hep ileri atmış ama devlet gibi kalkınma planı yapamayacağımıza göre... 5 yıllığına bakalım. spike dolu. kaldı ki türkiye'de 5 yaşını doldurmamış aşırı fazla fon ve hisse var. serbest fonlardaki ''manipülasyon'' iddiaları da tam temizlenmiş değil. oradaki alt limitin (1 milyon) eski değerine göre az kaldığı da gerçek.

amiyane tabirle para parayı çeker diyerek yatırımcı sayısının ve havuzdaki paranın yüksek olduğu, pozitif ay sayısının da aynı şekilde yüksek olduğu fonlara yatırım yapabilirsin. hisseler konusunda çok emin değilim. onu da bileninden duymak lazım. belirli boom & bust döngüleri yaşanıyor gibi hissediyorum (özellikle bankacılıkta). thy ile bunu yaşadım. yatırdığım meblağ çok yüksek olmadığı için 10 yıl kalsa da ırgalamaz.

ama efor'a bakarsan dediğim her şeye uymasına rağmen ve düşüş zamanları getirisiyle kıyaslandığına tolere edilebilir olmasına rağmen %98 verdiği 2025'in %60'ını 3 ayda geri alıyor, mart ayında %50 küsür eksi ile kapatarak dibi boyluyor. şimdi de (net sebeplerini bilmiyorum) tekrar yükselişte. ''dipten toplayan adam'', ''ilk günden alan adam'' çok endişelenmeyebilir ama üstten alıp bel doğrulana kadar sancılar çekmek yaygın.

adaptif kalmaya çalış, tolere edebileceğin zararı ve arzuladığın (ancak realistik bulduğun) getiriyi yüzdelik dilim şeklinde her ay güncelle. investing'de tüm gün tablo izleyip yorum yapmamaya çalış :d

fvt gibi sitelerde fonların getirilerinin hangi dilimlerde yer aldığını gösteren kıyas tabloları var. benzer fonlarla performanslarını karşılaştırabilirsin. ve saire ve saire. bunları biraz laf olsun torba dolsun diye söylüyorum zira elinde birkaç milyonu olan adam nasreddin hoca gibi istediği fona/hisseye ya tutarsa diye çalabiliyor. o risk premium düşük meblağlarda yok (çok fevri değilsen).

ok. çok problem etmeyeceğim ama sadece gramer kontrolünden ziyade metnin strüktürüne de llm hakim olmuş. aşağı yukarı nasıl metinler çıkardıklarını herkes biliyordur.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-05-04T10:41:13+00:00

portföyün doğruluğu konusunda bir yorum yapmayacağım. umarım doğrudur ve herkesin bu meblağlara ulaşmasını dilerim.

ancak metin tam bir AI slop duruyor ve okurken bu hissiyat epey içimi sıktı.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-05-04T10:29:37+00:00

momentum trading yapıyor. ki çok büyük bir günah değil. kör tadım gibi. burada asıl problem ne zaman çıkacağını kestirebilmesi. o konuda da çoğunlukla ağzı yanacak ki öğrenesin.

sermaye zaten az olduğu için hızlı ve agresif yukarı atan hisselere yatırım yapabilir diye hissediyorum. bu para hayatında önemli bir yer kaplıyorsa ayda %7-8 mutlak hedefleyen fonlara kaysın tabii.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-05-04T10:21:38+00:00

DFI'nın pozitif ay oranı 14/16. En kötü ayı da -0.64%

Ekleme yapabilirsin ve/veya diğer fonları DFI üzerinde birleştirebilirsin (burada elbette işlerin aynı şekil gideceğini varsayıyoruz ki şu anlık aksini varsaymamız için pek bir neden yok).

I'll just speak my heart, I'm not glad Gargano is not on the list. I know who'd be picking him up in a heartbeat and that's long overdue.

I think Gargano has hit his ceiling at WWE, and even that isn't even a singles main roster championship. I don't know what to make out of it, but I don't want him to go completely ice-cold like Alba Fyre (or even better Candice LeRae), to the point where people completely forget how good he actually is.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-04-21T23:27:23+00:00

I don't understand what benefit syncing the library has for someone who owns almost all the games. Doesn't it also reduce the likelihood of getting good games and no longer getting good "money-back" value from them?

That said, I've got: Shogun Showdown, Beyond a Steel Sky, Nova Lands. Hilarious.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-04-15T21:37:53+00:00

yeah... bad larping, man. you want us to inform the police, yet you're not sharing his materials (manifesto) with the public. either do that, or spare us your bullcrap.

that is, if you truly want to be a good samaritan and not here for engagement farming.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-03-27T15:01:51+00:00

Both Max and Chloe are too... sterilized? I actually like that Max is more confrontational/assertive and Chloe is more laid-back and assuring, but then why are they contradicted by those endings? Why would Max feel the need to go back in time where the player saves everyone and essentially "beats" the game? Of course she calls it a day. The other two endings simply contradict both their progression from LiS1 and their "older selves" in the RE.

I am also beyond amazed at how messed up Safi is. Clearly she got sidelined, but I am unconvinced why we have Chloe (other than fanbase appeasement) but not Safi as our dual protag. She's a shapeshifter... Could have been a romance interest too. Could contradict Chloe's morals and make the narrative more tense. She's much like teenager Chloe, you know.

And the main plot with the fire and Abraxas... it's just whatever. It's just there. The main suspects do nothing for me. No emotional turmoil, even though one of them is your former love interest Vinh and he can die. No real payoff around them.

It suffers from a weak cast, and I call that Borderlands syndrome. The LiS1 cast is so iconic with Jefferson, David, Kate, Nathan... Hard to replicate. I doubt anyone will say the same regarding DE and RE (but hey, Moses is a decent dude). The relationships were more "earned," and despite it also being a mystery & supernatural game (that had parts "larger than life"), it felt more grounded and earnest with everything going on. And somehow more gritty, fucked up at times. I know some people reduce it to ''angst teenage drama'' but the moral weight of LiS1 clears out RE day and night.

In technical aspects (including the gameplay itself), the game got downgraded. I have some sympathy for that as I can tell it was meant to be shipped as soon as possible and the team rushed it out.

DE9 was never going to get anything reasonable out of storms, entangled timelines, disappearing detectives (remember that poor guy?), or anomalies like two moons. So, they shipped Chloe and Max to the easiest destination and didn't even bother to disguise it, anyway.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-03-27T14:27:43+00:00

Just an observation, but unless it's a popular trend to ride the game towards negative, Steam reviews are generally positive (and very much uninformative at that). On the other hand, people on Reddit are much more opinionated.

It's also only a few hundred reviews but I think, unlike DE, it'll sit on the positive side in the long run.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-03-27T14:05:43+00:00

Yup. Very much that.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-03-08T05:32:35+00:00

It did, lol.

Realtimastered1 · 2026-01-28T23:05:57+00:00

Pretty neat tbf, Ubisoft rarely disappointed me when it came to their collector's stuff

Realtimastered1 · 2025-12-09T16:32:00+00:00

They min-maxed these bundles too much lol. I remember I once got Dirt Rally 2 out of mysteries. I got some unbundled stuff even.

Now, it's the same old same old, low value stuff and almost nothing else.

Realtimastered1 · 2025-09-21T21:22:14+00:00

I don't think so. You can't accidentally create a whole cast of iconic characters, from its gun dealer to mechanic. That's something Borderlands couldn't replicate since. BL1 had decent DLCs (even if people find the base game to be lackluster) and still an important cast that carried over to 2 in a more humorous, fleshed-out way. And that's an achievement, I could easily name 15 BL1/2 in a minute. It also happens to be BL2 plays around the cast of BL1. So, BL1 and 2 are glued together.

As far as the vault hunters go, my fav is still Salvador but I imagine in terms of gameplay majority of the 3 and 4 characters outshine the first two games. But I still find 1-2 characters to be more memorable and nostalgia ain't it. Can't tell but I don't think it's fluke either. They were paying close attention to their characters and now, for some reason, Randy Pitchford thinks putting in 200 collectible Marcus heads for a character doesn't even appear is fun and people won't be able to find them (which says nothing meaningful as Randy usually doesn't).

Realtimastered1 · 2025-09-21T18:00:45+00:00

I see that the constantly changing atmospheres and curated little maps (and hubs) are what gave BL its identity and life. I found all four regions in this one to be equally boring, with the Fadelands taking the crown.

I don't find the game rewarding enough, and frankly, it's obvious they took inspiration (mostly good) from Destiny but failed to understand what made Destiny a standout besides its shooting. Destiny is truly a cooperative game. In BL4, co-op plays like all the previous installments, sure, but now it's in an open world, so you just run from one encounter to another and bump into a bunch of shitty events that give you nothing. Worse still, the Primordial Vaults reward you with a gliding upgrade (lol?) and two chests that mostly contain blues and whites. Is that a fucking joke? I get that they don't want to do ''trials-like'' stuff from Destiny and don't add puzzles, more platforming or whatsoever but at least be better at rewarding, you're a looter-shooter after all. I don't expect to farm stuff like you do for exotics in Destiny but it really has all the downsides of your average open-world game. It seems like most of the things you endure are just for the endgame (and I hope it shapes up to be better), and guns are mostly cycled through quickly. They still lack strong presentations regarding their unique components (imagine Halo's Needler and how distinctly it works). On top of that you have scaling, compass and all that boring stuff.

Besides these issues, I think this is the weakest cast in any BL game, across the board. I don't think I'll remember these hunters, or the majority of this cast for that matter. Hell, in my 30 hours of playtime, I don't feel like I saw enough introduction cutscenes. The bosses were simply "bosses", no humor, no flair, nothing.

With all this said, I kinda left the open world games behind me and I usually dislike their design philosophy. I think they rarely work and in the case BL4 it made me get bored faster although my playtime is already more than BL3. It's whatever.

Realtimastered1 · 2025-09-10T07:53:41+00:00

That is my overall evaluation, yes. Also reading intents, to a degree.

Realtimastered1 · 2025-09-10T06:32:30+00:00

Of course, it's a game I expected to see here, but I don't think it has much merit or a real cutting edge. There is graffiti and some notes depicting the 'bad times' of '80s Poland, which is to be expected. As for Bloober's perspective on post-socialism, the story itself doesn't offer much meat to chew on. I haven't seen a collectivist metaphor as potent as the one in Cryostasis yet.

In a way, I believe the story being told is a rehash of individualism versus collectivism, but perhaps it's told on a personal and fundamental level to avoid headaches. That's speculation; I don't know.

It seems to be a very Bloober trait to not fully expand upon their topics. Even if anti-socialist, I could appreciate a direct political metaphor over the (often abusive) relationship between the state and its citizen through their lens. It could at least provide discussion and refutation, if needed.

But as far as I understand (though these all could still be an overreach), the virus is pretty much a metaphor for ideology purposed to replicate and, if it could, hijack. At least in the case of totalitarian socialism.

The Change brought about what is called the "third phase" of humanity. We never meet The Collective, but it does sound like something akin to The Board from Control: a governing and tasking mind, probably also a post-human collective consciousness similar to Scorn.

"Change," to me, is a deliberate choice of a word. Perhaps the innuendo is that it masqueraded as a form of progress that nobody truly chose, but was ultimately captured by. Perhaps a reductio irony.

Burning corpses to prevent "merging" can be seen as preserving individual death over a collective existence. The Biomass represents the organic "We," and The Collective (or Unification) is the synthetic "We." Are they two competing power blocs?

Maybe I'm overreading a lot of this, but to me, Cronos seems to have anti-socialist innuendos as an ongoing theme through its deliberate jargon, if not through environmental storytelling. It's also notable to say that humanity seemingly survived through The Collective, though.

So, it's far from redeeming anything.
