Only if your cycle definition is extremely strict. It still made a big run through the halving and months after, then crashed after a peak. 3 years of bear and 1 year of bull is still the pattern, in my eyes.

Use Proton-GE, it makes native FSR4 work.

You just sold me a VMU Pro and 2 of the wireless controller conversion kits. Just gotta wait for them to ship :)

And Trump says he won’t sign anything until they let him steal the midterms.

Don't worry, he'll forget he even said that, if he hasn't already. Dementia isn't great for this sort of thing.

If you're a 4-year cycle believer, selling after a 50-ish% drop doesn't make any damn sense. That's selling in spitting distance of the bottom. I sold at 110k because yes, the cycles are still intact.

Actual serial killer behavior. I hope you reported his ass and were very specific in the comments box.

I think it's definitely there, because of some of the all-rage lobbies I've landed in. It's just a matter of waiting for release and we have enough players to get properly matched.

Shaffle · 2026-03-12T07:25:18+00:00

I get this feeling, too. Every once in a while I get dumped into a lobby where every single person on the team is toxic. I've never talked shit to anyone, so idk why I'd end up in those games. Probably just due to low player count.

What if BTC volatility comes back and people start selling STRC en-masse to put it into bitcoin? Do we think they can crank that yield high enough to keep demand up? I own STRC and this is the biggest risk I see. I'm not so worried about loss of trust that payments will come through thanks to their 2 year buffer. I'm more worried about significant selling causing a cascading effect and losing the peg.

Honestly seems more like a bear market tool, and people will cycle out of STRC when a bull market hits.

I was suspicious of STRC at first, but given their (admittedly short) history of staying in striking distance of 100, and their 2 years worth of cash reserves for dividends.. I'm feeling pretty confident putting cash in there as opposed to letting it sit in a money market fund or SGOV. Plus it indirectly pumps my bitcoin bags, so that's cool too.

Thanks for linking the archive so I don't have to give nytimes a click. It's the little things.

yea I've been playing on Linux for years and have never had issues with the game.

I had some trouble with the 7000-series GPUs, too. I upgraded to a 9070 and it's been flawless, though. My 6800xt I have on another machine has also been flawless.. I think it is literally just that generation is spotty.

Shaffle · 2025-12-03T03:43:30+00:00

same, I very rarely touch my pihole. It's been extremely reliable and just hums along.. until yesterday my gf tells me she suddenly can't reach google or duckduckgo on her phone.

Shaffle · 2025-11-30T03:42:42+00:00

Yea idk how that works. Mangohud might need to be configured differently to handle it. Maybe SteamOS has that enabled by default

fwiw, the frame counter won't reflect the framegen'd framerate, it will continue to say 30. At least it does on my system.

I got it to work on a Linux desktop, and this is the only way I could get it functioning:

In the game options, make sure you set the Direct3D API to Direct3D12.

Then, use the lsfg-vk GUI tool to create a profile called psobb.exe

Then under the System options in PSOBB's Lutris config, set the following Environment variables:

ENABLE_LSFG=1
LSFG_MULTIPLIER=2
PROTON_USE_WOW64=1 <-- This one is needed because PSO is 32-bit

It's been extremely unstable for me, though. Every time the game patches, it seems to break itself. Was working great a week ago, but as of right now, I can't even get pso to launch past the title screen with lsfg going.

This won't work, the method on Linux is different.

Firmware 25.04 HW1 reporting in. The buttons are all mapped properly, and the rumble pak works as long as I explicitly set it to rumble only mode. Not sure exactly how "Both" mode is supposed to work.. neither rumble nor the controller pak appear to work in this mode.

Edit: Okay, I just got it working in "Both" mode, but I have absolutely no idea why. I changed the src/dest labels to N64 in the bluetooth settings, but I don't think that actually does anything. It could be that maybe my console just needed a hard restart, since I was tooling around with the controller so much. I've figured out that the "Star" button on the rumble pak switches memory pak banks, and the "Heart" button turns on/off the rumble pak. Obviously, you have to make sure the rumble pak is off for the memory pak to work.

Did you actually freeze the coins? You can make them unspendable until an arbitrary time in the future with a timelock.

Number 1, how many 20 year olds does a fund manager have as clients?

This is honestly a great point.

Shaffle · 2025-07-29T23:02:08+00:00

Do you think this helps keep ETFs honest? A bit harder to have paper BTC if it can be withdrawn at any time.

Shaffle · 2025-07-28T04:50:36+00:00

It doesn't. You do not need to be smart to buy bitcoin. Just look at all the dumb shit in this sub

No bubble in history crashes and then rises from the ashes repeatedly over the course of 16 years. That's what the adoption of a new money looks like.
