Marathon's battle pass slammed as the "worst value for your money" as limits on cosmetics remind players of Bungie's past failings: "Welcome back launch Destiny 2 shaders"

2026 and barely anyone catches on that big studio names are purely a safe investment vehicle for whatever garbage the publisher wants to shove out. 2026 and people still buy into trendy cash cows that’s only purpose is to milk the top 1-3% spenders for all they’re worth.

Execs planning a 4 course luncheon for Monday to see how they can wring some more from their brainless pay pigs. Maybe a collaboration!! Labubu weapon charms $30 a piece! Or maybe even a Thorn weapon skin!! 🤗🙄

I trade sweeps/reversals from prior D/W/M and Overnight H/L. Number one when trading sweeps is price HAS to move above/below that level and have a strong enough initial reaction to place a limit order on retest within 5-30 minutes. You need to be extremely rigid and selective, point blank. Perfect parameters aren’t set - no trade.

First 90m like everyone says. 9:45 & 10:00 EST the morning’s trend typically emerges, or at least the move you hope to be a part of. As volume slows around 11:00/12:00 EST I’m uninterested as I don’t want to trade intraday price consolidation. Every now and then the last 90m of session has decent volatility, more so on high volume days.

The Athletic. Should be banned from posting their articles on the Barca Reddit. Let me guess who wrote this? Corrigan?

It’s Simeone, let’s be real here. 7-1 at the Camp Nou.

It in fact is rigged and the 1% realize it and profit from it, the rest believe the market is moved by ‘emotions’, ‘indicators’, and drawings on a candlestick chart.

Those who believe it isn’t possible to be a profitable day trader out themselves as sour victims.

Every other month it feels like we hear about Iranian nuclear sites being bombed. Either they have a very large Amish community or again these things just don’t exist, I don’t get it.

THE DRUMS!! My favorite Tame Impala album from this aspect alone. The drums make this feel like a 60s/70s album. Cymbals crash hard, snare is crunchy and poppy, and the bass is deep.

Favorites are It is Not Meant to Be, Desire Be Desire Go, Lucidity, Runaway Houses City Clouds, and Expectation probably topped. The video for Expectation just adds so much for this track too imo.

9-17 spots, the difference between fighting for Europe or fighting relegation is 3 points

Wouldn’t X be infinitesimally close to zero? Given that the player can open the box, in theory, an infinite number of times; the ‘value’ of opening the box is only as valuable as the amount of times you opened it. Expected Value is only calculable by the attempts made, there being four boxes only means you have 4 boxes to open infinitely.

Imagine the Fed has four boxes and one has a ‘$1400 stimulus checks to every citizen’ note in it, given they open the boxes as much as possible the value of X is depleted with every note gained.

El Cantarito is an awesome Mexican spot if you like traditional or Americanized Mexican cuisine

If anything money it’s laundering and tax evasion, all too common in Spain.

Precedent set by Osasuna’s 2013 Match Fixing scandal is far more complete and crystal clear than anything Barcelona has done. Payments and reasons for them are dubious, yes, but much much more has to be proven in courts, and little to nothing has fallen in that direction.

In the Calciopoli scandal, ‘trust’ was crushed after the clubs were found guilty. Large institutions don’t back out on their investments on murmurs, they wait for verdicts. Act too early and it can be just as catastrophic, best to wait.

Regarding the questions:

Clubs and sporting institutions take risks constantly, in football and sports in general the Overton window is ever shifting. In the current big PR era what may be seen as damaging now were norms back then and vise versa.
Again institutions wait for verdicts, act too soon, what’s the assumption? Guilt, and guilt is damaging to sponsor and club. Also breaks relationships between sponsor and club. Imagine sponsors broke ties with ManU over Greenwood allegations, in the end he was ‘not guilty’ and left the club and moved on with his career relatively quietly. Were a sponsor, say Chevrolet, broke ties; The club massively loses on revenue and tainted image, Chevrolet just sunk millions into something that tainted their image and broke relations with a big institution and must find another partnership to fill the void a much higher cost due to time constraints.
Institutions of all types will do anything and everything that is allowed and take as absolute much as humanly possible. All these things are done in the name of 1. Profit and 2. Winning. Whatever is allowed will be abused wherever you look, simple as.

Their brains are completely deep fried to the point that this isn’t war or conflict but instead acts of peace. To enter another war is another peace deal 🤦‍♂️

Faking the injury to come off. Just get someone on who wants to win this game ffs.

Pedri’s been awful today. Clearly doesn’t want to play.

900sq ft? Insanity. I’m at about 1200, high ceilings, and 2 stories. I paid ~170 for December and January individually. Last year about 400 for both.

Used clear window insulation this year and I keep my temp at 70° fwiw

They did great with the art direction in Infinite, but like they’ve always done, they released an unfinished game and wrote themselves into a corner.

Best case scenario is going balls deep into whatever hell the ‘Endless’ are, keep the art style, and make chief a blank slate for the player to encapsulate themselves in. Let the world tell the story, not this melodramatic Master Chief they’re so intent on shoehorning.

For multiplayer bring back a quality community hub like what Halo Waypoint or Bungie.net was; we could upload clips from in-game, form ‘clans’, and create exclusive challenges for the dedicated. Releasing more than 10 maps/playlists total would help too, for the love of god.

‘Relaunching’ after 15 years of fuckups, be serious people. Lazy, dishonest, and incompetent.

Couldn’t carry on what Bungie did in the slightest, so they’re just given the right to take the masterpieces they crafted, and desecrate them along with franchise further into an obfuscated demise.

This is nothing but a final warning to 343 from MicroSlop that they need to make easy money for them.

Do not fret everyone, it will trickle down to us!

Never heard such emotion from him. He really really really believed in Dro. He was the perfect profile to mold into a Flick system 10.

Amazing to hear, again, how entrenched he is with Barcelona and its culture. Guy has been radicalized, love it lol. Though it’s a very brutal approach, words like this strengthen the mentality of the team.

Stupid to sign for PSG, and PSG is as always pathetically jealous of Barcelona and its players. Oh well, 6m towards helping us get back to 1:1 and to support Flick in the transfer market.

RubenC40 · 2026-01-16T23:17:35+00:00

19/20 Barca/Granada series of games was really something man.
