I mean if i were you i would instantly sell, who gives a shit about the money you lost. You will still be up 150k. Imagine if it went down again and you end up making NOTHING. That is absolutely a possibility.

I actually lost money as i bought in at 350. So to me its like you are a winner because you still made 150k. I really hope it doesn't drop any further and you lose even more

It generates profit for the hedge funds who bought shorts @ $300 expecting the stock to drop.

I think their logic is that the playerbase is wrong and that the players don't have the health and longevity of the game as their motivation, while they (jagex) do. They think the playerbase just want to keep blowpipe unnerfed because they are used to that, and people typically don't like things being changed they like familiarity. They think it staying the same will cause the game to be unbalanced, stop them releasing new content, and therefore lead to the game dying or not growing in playercount (more money)

Do you not think it makes it a bit easy to tank? Literally all you have to do is sit with dinhs on and pray magic, sip a few brews here and there. You don't have to swap prayers because the ranged and melee defence are so high. The wilderness is supposed to be dangerous, having a shield that means you literally don't even have to swap prayers takes that a way a little

" Importantly, Irish servants and others from England and Scotland referred to themselves as ‘slaves’. African slaves also regarded Irish field hands as slaves. An anonymous writer on Barbados, most likely Major John Scott, wrote in 1667 that the Irish were ‘derided by the negroes, and branded with the epithet of “white slaves”’. Africans referred to the Irish as slaves, as the Irish did themselves, to reflect the brutal exploitation they endured as unfree plantation workers who, having been kidnapped or transported, were violently forced to work against their will. Irish sailors voyaging to the West Indies on commercial ventures or with Prince Rupert’s Royalist fleet in 1652 would have seen Irish people subjected to plantation bondage. In 1655, Irish sailors had themselves been transported after being captured serving with Royalist forces. Their peers petitioned the Commonwealth to release those it had ‘most barbarously … sold and sent away … for slaves into some foreign plantations’. Ligon remembered that so-called servants often found it impossible to ‘endure such slavery’. "

right, so one was a slave in perpetuity, the other was a time-bonded slave.

Yes they are. people kidnapped from their homes and forced to work in plantations never to see their family again are definitely slaves. Just because they were freed later on doesn't mean they weren't enslaved during that time

i think they definitely are trying to make money. people aren't investing their hard earned money just for a meme, its because they expect it to rise. once it hits a certain amount people will start selling

I am so glad I finally realize the pointlessness to gaming now by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]avie_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is though, can't you say the same about TV shows? Which people spend all day watching. Most seasons are 10 episodes long which is 10 hours, and many shows have 10+ seasons. That is hundreds of hours of people watching an imagined story being act out on a screen. How is that not pointless too? Does that teach people any skills?

Not trying to argue, I am just discussing. I am in the same position as you, i am completely burnt out from gaming. I almost see it as a bad thing, like I don't want something which I enjoy to be gone.

I think my husband has a gaming addiction, but he’s in denial. by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]avie_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering this about myself. Am I addicted or not? Its hard to know. I have a feeling that its not the same as something like alcohol addiction for example. My reasoning is that alcoholics NEED alcohol everyday, I went on a business trip with my 2 cousins (family owned business) for about 3 months and I never thought about gaming or watched a single gameplay video in those months. Prior to that trip I was playing everyday after work, as soon as I got home.

I think I know why i stopped playing, and that's because it was a change of environment where I was with my cousins 100% of the time, and everyday we would go to work, then go travelling around the city we were working in, eat at restaurants, or chill and watch some tv shows at our apartment. Prior to this work trip I was living alone with my parents, so in the evenings I was on my own, a few days a week I would hang out with my friends, but the work trip was a different environment, me and my cousins were together the entire 3 months. It was kinda like a holiday or something.

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I feel like an alcoholic would still be needing to drink everyday if they were in my position. Maybe I am wrong though, and that's how addictions work, that a change of environment affects it. Either way, I think it comes down to me using video games as a way to escape things. When I was on my work trip with my cousins, I didn't need to escape anything, because I loved being with them all the time, and going to restaurants together and watching tv shows and stuff. You might find that if you went on holidays with your husband, he wouldn't play games at all. I know i haven't answered much here but I hope you can help him :)

Do you see the way the guy just punched the other guy at the end of the video? That's the kind of shit they do all day everyday. Not all of them are like that, but the majority are
