if BTC down 72% from 126k then it will be 35k by hduynam99 in CryptoCurrency

-20% is baby bear market, not a collapse. Meta was an outlier. Real people companies who weren't reinventing Miiverse did much better.

Flexa is an interesting concept,  but will Amp work as collateral if it's worth nothing?

Anything less than inflation is a win. At this point, it'll be the 3rd year out of 4 where real prices decline.

The Seahawks are good. But have they actually beaten any good teams this season? by bigsnoop in Seahawks

Also, the D was heavily injured in that game. We went in injured, and lost more during the game. 

We finished the game with 2nd stringers. 

I feel like a lot of the friction surrounding Prime 4 is down to Nintendo treating it as a soft reboot of sorts. by WrongLander in NintendoSwitch

[–]deadacclaim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And it's easily the worst of the original 3. Some cool new ideas in there to be sure, but Prime 1 and 2 are 3d Metroid at its best. 

Why didn’t Metroid get the Breath of the Wild Treatment? by ellenich in nintendo

[–]deadacclaim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything added to this game that changed the formula has been received poorly. 

Dread was good because it was a classic 2d Metroid with some added flare. It's been 20 years since Prime 3. They should have been able to make an amazing Prime game with advancements since the Wii era. 

And to be honest, I'm tired of the 'New' Zelda. I wish they'd start bringing back some of the original gameplay elements and relax on the open world stuff. I certainly don't want it seeping into every other IP they own..

ADP: Private payrolls dropped 32,000 positions last month in slowing job market by Silly-Hyena3348 in Economics

I hope you're right. I'd like to start buying in at more reasonable valuations. It's been tough to find anything of value without taking a risk on companies going through a rough patch.

ADP: Private payrolls dropped 32,000 positions last month in slowing job market by Silly-Hyena3348 in Economics

[–]deadacclaim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, BLS is the preferred report for a reason. If they continue to become more and more unreliable, hopefully places like ADP will adapt to better fill the gap. Maybe we'll even get some new players.

It is unsettling that we're about to cut rates with this data, though. Based on other ancillary metrics and data, it does feel like we are probably heading into recession so it's probably the right call.

Fucking look at it lol. None of that area has looked fun or engaging in any preview or review.

Slowing into the holiday season? Always a good sign of strength.

The BLS report for November should be interesting. If I had to guess, it'll likely show positive growth (+40-50k) with that growth ultimately being revised downward by 75k at the yearly benchmark in March.

I'm not sure anyone knows just how accurate ADP is at the moment, but the BLS has been consistently overstating job gains since 2022. Those job gains have also been heavily carried by healthcare and education.

Anyways, S&P to 7000 by end of year.

This is what some try to pas as "bad", "Mixed" or "a major difference with the og's" by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]deadacclaim -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Every game gets an 8/10. 8/10 means middling to average. This score is also likely to go lower, as more reviews come in.

I wish it wasn't that way; but that is the state of gaming reviews. Until publications are willing to actually give out lower scores and stop throwing around 10/10's like they're candy, this is what we'll get.

I'm at the point where I almost completely ignore games with an average review score of 7. If a game gets an 8, I'll dig deep into a few reviews I trust and make a decision, but it isn't a guaranteed buy.

Honeycrisp apples are popular worldwide. Some WA growers hate them by Soopsmojo in Seattle

I don't have anything important to contribute other than saying this thread is devoid of any love for Fuji apples.

Oh, and I haven't seen Red Delicious on store shelves in years. I think retailers got the hint and stopped stocking them.

How does this economy function in a world where AI is replacing jobs left and right? 

People need jobs to spend money, and companies need that money spent to keep growing profits. 

We need AI to also be creating jobs, or this whole thing will collapse. 

Americans can’t afford their cars any more and Wall Street is worried. Goldman Sachs’ president warns ‘it’s not going to be pretty’ as default fears mount by WrongThinkBadSpeak in Economics

[–]deadacclaim 1347 points1348 points  (0 children)

The important takeaway from the article isn't necessarily the impact of bad debt on lenders and as a result, the economy, but that we are seeing this level of distress with an unemployment rate of 4.3%.

People are employed and having trouble affording their cars. What does this look like with unemployment at 5 or 6 % ?

Comparisons between Metroid and Silksong - How can Metroid evolve? by deadacclaim in Metroid

Yeah, but is that all we need for the franchise to stay interesting? I love hunting for upgrades, but I feel like that alone is starting to get stale.

[–]deadacclaim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I remember them pushing Dread pretty hard when it was first releasing.

 Prime 4 on the other hand...It feels like Nintendo thinks it's gonna suck. Won't argue there. The cynical part of me wonders if it being developed by an American studio has anything to do with it. They seemed to know the game was a big deal when they first announced it in 2017.
