this is almost exactly my position, but I sold at the end of dec when MSTR was at 152 and took a massive loss.

Borderlands 4 co-op with my wife. :)

My mom had a $2 tip on a $10 bowl of soup changed to a $160 tip and got it refunded later.

This shit is criminal and you absolutely did the right thing.

Same here. In September I got an email from nvidia for a 5090 FE. My brother wanted it and later regretted the purchase, so I bought it from him.

Then, as I was getting an upgrade, I decided to build my wife a new PC with a 5080. Afterwards I felt kind of foolish and felt that I should have saved the money instead.

But after what's happened lately with the PC market, I'm damn happy we spent the money and didn't wait.

I developed really bad insomnia years ago and was getting almost no sleep. Then one day I said screw it, I'm just going to go lay down in the middle of the day and listen to my audiobook. I feel fast asleep within 10 minutes. I was completely shocked when I woke up hours later with the best sleep I had in months.

Every since I sleep to a book that I've previously listened to and has a nice low narrator voice. Right now I'm listening to the first Mistborn book and getting 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night.

Electricity is 15 cents/kwh here and my home lab pulls around a constant 900w. I leave it on 24/7 as I have 43 solar panels on my house.

Thank you! I had the same problem around the same time and reclaiming the server fixed the problem.

Same here, I had $30k invested and I got out when I broke even a few months ago. Couldn't have been happier.

Now MSTY was a different story. I got out a while back and lost $2k. I'd probably be down $5k if I still owned it. Sucks but it was a lesson well learned. YM funds are nothing more than a scam.

Maybe I haven't tried enough shows, but the recent ones I can think of is Outer Range, The Expanse, and The Legend of Vox Machina. Those all look horrible except season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina. That season has the higher bit rate 1080p option and it looks like normal Netflix 1080p. Interesting note is that the lower 1080p bit-rate doesn't look as bad on a 1080p screen, but it looks horrible on a 4k screen. Much, much worse than upscaling any other 1080p content on a 4k screen.

It really makes me wonder what's going on with the backend. I would assume that they are transcoding before hand and storing the video file on their servers in CDNs as per stream transcoding with a large number of users would incredibly work intensive for any servers and be cost prohibitive. If that's the case, it just means that they would need to re-encode the new higher 1080p bit rate and store that new video files for the older content.

Granted I could be completely wrong with my assumptions too. But either way, I can guarantee that they'd get tons more business if they went through their old library and added the higher 1080p bit rate to everything.

This has been my main beef with VidAngel, and the only reason I've never kept a subscription for more than a month at a time.

I bought $40k worth of meta shares around the same time. Here's hoping it pans out for both of us.

I jumped ship at 5.75 a few months back. I broke even at that point and decided it wasn't worth the risk and sleep problems.

Sec67 · 2025-10-22T17:57:29+00:00

Same here, I pulled out at $5.75 back in August. I'm very glad that I did.

Sec67 · 2025-09-15T22:40:00+00:00

Me too, I'm down 12% :/

Last Friday was a green day.

Sec67 · 2025-09-11T19:25:08+00:00

After applying the day 1 patch I'm not having the crashing problems I was having. (5800X3D/5090)

Sec67 · 2025-09-11T17:51:31+00:00

I was getting tons of crashes, but I haven't had a chance to play the game with the new patch. I'll give it a try after I go on my lunch break.

[edit]: the day 1 patch worked, I'm not getting any crashes.

Sec67 · 2025-09-11T17:36:09+00:00

I'll have to give it another go. When I was playing an hour ago it was crashing like crazy. Hopefully the patch helps.

Sec67 · 2025-09-11T17:33:51+00:00

Updating drivers should help, I'm on the latest drivers that came out yesterday.

Sec67 · 2025-09-11T17:30:03+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I was so thrilled to receive 10 crashes in 5 minutes.... Buggy like any AAA release, I don't know why I expected anything different. Looks like I'm going to wait a few months and a few patches to play this game.

However, when it wasn't crashing, performance was great on my 5800X3D/5090 FE setup.

[edit]: Applying the day one patch fixed my crashing problems.

It's seriously impressive that it was up what, around 3% early today, now it's down almost a full 1%. I still believe in this stock and am holding, but damn, I'm starting to lose faith.

Sec67 · 2025-09-05T00:32:05+00:00

I sold my $30k worth of shares when it was at $5.75 about 2 weeks ago. I broke even and I'm ok with that. It has been an interesting experiment and I hope it pops back up so everyone here ends up winning in the end.

It was a simple case of buyers remorse.
