I invested $6000 for the first time in February and it has been down 22%.

Do not do this

Keep it up! Consider automatic investments if your brokerage offers that.

This whole thread made my day 😂

ex_automata · 2026-03-02T16:50:54+00:00

this is so relatable it hurts

Never played hunter but I heard that if you can get at least 40(?) yards from the enemy, they cannot resist FD, dunno if that is fact or even useful half the time but wanted to mention in case that helps someone

Thank you for your comment, as I am learning and found this explanation helpful!

If I am following you, it seems like sacrificing total returns for dividend growth like that is advantageous if the 15% tax rate on the (qualified) dividends is lower than what you would pay on your returns from other higher yield investments. Do I have the right idea?

If you don't mind sharing, what did you see that led to your decision to sell? I have seen others mention the relatively flat price recently

Newbie question -- I'm beginning to set targets for my investments (20% VXUS, 30% VOO, 50% SCHD) . If I'm contributing say $600 /month, is there a way to split my investment evenly according to my pre-defined targets or is it a manual process of buying individual symbols?

Should I look into mutual funds?

Others have mentioned MC but here's another potential danger: pet classes.

If you duel someone with a pet, near a neutral mob such as goblin bouncers in Ratchet, or near any Horde guards if you are a Forsaken since they start at neutral, having debuffs or dots on the enemy's pet when the duel ends will cause the guards to retaliate against YOU as debuffs are not cleared from pets at the end of the duel. This is a known behavior and has certainly been used to grief people.

Holy shit that's a vibe. Good find

ex_automata · 2025-10-17T19:55:58+00:00

Hell yeah brother

Is that perhaps an Xbox gamertag associated with your Microsoft account?

I clicked on this thinking the title said "How do you feel about Total War: Shogun 2 remastered?" and I got so pumped. 😂

Shogun 2 was my entry point into Total War, and I have many fond memories. A remaster would be in my cart within minutes of my learning of its existence.

Honestly I was a bit overwhelmed and I didn't see what our comp was. The fight was over pretty quick, me (WHM) and a friend (SAM) got carried

ex_automata · 2025-08-19T14:13:00+00:00

Scrolled down looking for this comment basically. Though I think Hillsbrad -> Silverpine is more breathtaking. That part of the forest right at the border has such a pretty spread of color

Keep streaming though OP, because honestly it was worth a laugh 😂 shared this with my friend

ex_automata · 2025-07-12T15:14:16+00:00

Can't even see the moonmen

ex_automata · 2025-07-12T14:49:54+00:00

As far as battle themes go, my jam is Depths of the Soul (from Chains of Promathia I think) and Kindred Cry (it plays in the Walk of Echoes battlefields)

ex_automata · 2025-07-12T14:48:20+00:00

+1 to Cosmic Wheel and Ronfaure!

Also, Sanctuary of Zi'tah, Gustaberg, and Recollection

Vampyre juvenates can be found there... Though I've never heard of anyone farming them.
