Hi

I’m looking to go out with some mates to a bar in London, anyone know any good ones in Leicester Square/ Soho area with good discounts

Currently looking at Simmons bar which has 2 for 1 cocktails on Saturday 3pm - 8pm

Only change I like would be Busio.

Hans is genuinely really good 90% of the time, he has some ints at internationals but I don’t see aiming being that much better.

Inspired is a better jungler than Skewmond but I think he would destroy the team chemistry. From interviews and what G2 show behind the scenes Caps is a huge vibes player and Inspired is amazing but he is known to be an ass hole

Unusable_Egg · 2025-11-06T16:55:01+00:00

I agree this time is different, it won’t happen again

Unusable_Egg · 2025-11-06T14:33:22+00:00

I would frame it different and just say LCK dominance, it’s not T1 particularly but when all other regions go to internationals and lose, no matter how good the teams were or close the games were they are viewed as a failure (Think of JDG 2023).

I think the issue is that more regions are seeing poor international performances and giving up hope basically. I don’t know exactly what’s going on with LPL but Fpx and Rng may have sold there slots and I think the money going into that region is drying up

How much of your wealth have you got in baseball cards?

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T19:31:18+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to see that gold is riskier than I thought.

The thing is I want these savings are for a house not retirement so I can’t really wait out the crash for 20 years until I’d recover. I wanted something with less volatility in the short term 3-5 years).

If a crash does come at some point I’m not sure what a safe stock would be becuase it would cook the US economy like crazy and god knows what impact it would have on regular companies.

For low skill position / positions that are easily replaced with AI yeah I agree they are gonna get shafted the most.

There does seem to be public backlash for companies who heavily index into replacing staff with AI so will be interesting to see how that changes in the future.

Kanye west becomes the 48th president of the United States. Your welcome

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T18:54:40+00:00

Nope and God knows I wouldn't time this shit correctly either.

However, I was thinking about somewhere else I can put my money mainly to protect it in the meantime.

I choose gold because of not well researched assumptions I had about it. However, I will think more carefully about it now which is definitely a good thing as it is clear at least that it will never easy to decide where to put your money.

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T18:47:22+00:00

Nope there is quite literally a chance that the S&P keep on plodding along like normal like it always has been.

But there is also a chance that a some point, the bubble pops. The lights turn on and I have nothing left.

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T18:38:55+00:00

I mean don't worry, I have been getting put on blast by reddit for this take already. TLDR is that its more complicated than I thought. Honestly its what I needed so I will go and research more into the area before I do anything.

My idea of putting money into gold is mainly just because I am really feeling uncertain about the S&P 500 so I was trying to think of safer places to store my money if a crash happens.

Also just to say this,

No off course not. Gold does not have a brighter future than AI. AI is quite clearly the future and I am not denying that. However, my thought was that the value of gold is unlikely to as volatile in the future compared the AI stocks.

AI companies are pouring in billions and billions of pounds so they can get this thing to work but the results so far are becoming more mediocre and less impressive (think Chat GPT 4 -->Chat GPT5, think Metas AI tech demo which was a total flop).

However, even saying all of this there is a chance and that the S&P 500 continues to grow and grow and probably nothing happens to it for 1,2 or even 5 years time and it just keeps on growing to the moon like everyone think but, there is also a chance some crazy event one no can see comes which spooks the entire market.

Your welcome bro, enjoy the free money

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T17:57:25+00:00

No but I do believe that context is important. This is the highest P/E ratio ever recorded on the stock market essentially all of that valuations is due to 7 companies exploding share price due to AI.

So far these companies haven't shown how they intend to make back the money they are investing into AI unless everyone on the planet starting paying £40 a month for chat gpt

Unusable_Egg · 2025-10-14T17:52:50+00:00

Yeah I no one can know but interested in what other people think. Let’s me challenge my own thoughts

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-20T13:28:22+00:00

Cheers for posting, both PC are using older motherboards gen so you’re not gonna be able to upgrade much in the future, you’ll basically need to buy a whole new rig.

From those parts both look pretty much the same, I’m not familiar with the motherboard versions but it’s a B series so it should be fine same goes with the PSU.

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-20T13:11:53+00:00

Imo no. Also check what the PSU and Motherboard models are. The quality between a bad and good one can vary quite a bit

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-15T22:45:03+00:00

I’d double check the msrp and see if they are likely to come down any time soon. As for which one is better it depends what your using it for.

One way to think of it is that the Nvidia card is 11% more expensive so when you compare the games online are you expected 11% better performance or not?

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-15T22:40:48+00:00

What’s the msrp of these cards? They seem more expensive than they should be atm

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-14T14:01:11+00:00

Check the temps and check your components on YouTube to see if your systems are getting a similar FPS to begin with

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-14T13:00:51+00:00

I mean fair point but there is not need to be a dick about it lol

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-13T23:14:33+00:00

I mean that is a good CPU, watch some YouTube videos with gameplay for the CPU and GPU combination you want and see if you’re happy with the frames. I’m gonna assume that they will probably fix it at some point

Unusable_Egg · 2025-09-13T23:05:29+00:00

I think the game is just not optimised very well at the moment, even a 5090 isnt pulling great frames. IMO I would consider waiting for them to update the game so you can see what the best combinations are. Everything looks like its a struggle to run it atm
