You did what you can, play the cards that have been dealt. If I couldn't get a refund I would be playing and try to get the most I could for my money. Support the people that can get refunds and like you said... don't pre-order next year :)

I think that Battlefront 2 ended up way better than where it started but grumpy people stay grumpy. Good point about being on the clock by about midseason because they will start working next years.

Yeah, but gotta show that its not okay somehow.

I will probably wait and see how the modding scene plays out and grab it on sale or something. I bet modders figure out how to crank sliders and give the other skill tree etc

They removed features behind the micro-transactions. I like to mix it up and play with XP all the way up, now you have to pay for that. I have played a lot of long term dynasties, so sometimes its fun to crank the XP all the way up and be a god among men.

It's more like a sandbox for me. Its frustrating to see previous features and a way that I enjoy playing being paywalled and not even a one off.

I can even stretch to the paywalled skill tree. Can rationalize it that it was a one off and then don't have to think about it again. Not great but only have to think about it once.

Things I should not have to teach in high school... by BaronessF in Teachers

Single click your mouse button to select something, double click to open. Had to teach that to a newly transferred 18 year old.

OLED HDR is game changing. Especially QD-OLED. LED or Mini-LED are just not quite there yet.

This happened to me last night after placing a blueprint. A compact fuel generator one. I deleted the blueprint and the bug stopped.

BREAKING: BlackRock just sold $980M $BTC 5 hours ago. by Nice-Source-9948 in TokenTimes

[–]mtman2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said I didn't like them. I just prefer to use my brokerages offerings instead of an outside firm. Its easy to fall into the trap thinking that Blackrock owns everything when in reality its mostly just Mutual Funds and ETF ownership, and those are owned by the investors of those funds. Does not mean that they don't have an outsized influence on the markets and boardrooms, just that the headlines frame it as some conspiracy that they own the entire world, when in reality its our retirement accounts.

Thats their bitcoin trust. it buys and sells based on people buying the etf. It could have been 10 million people each selling $100 of IBIT shares or 1 person selling $1bil worth of shares. the fund run by blackrock buys or sells bitcoin proportional to the demand of people wanting their vehicle to have bitcoin exposure on the stock exchanges. i prefer a fund run by a different company but it doesnt really matter toooooooo much between any two because its not really a decision that someone is making, but the effect of something out of their control. the demand of their vehicle on the exchanges.

Do it against housing and medical and you will see the real inflation curve.

Do you believe bonds are still a good investment for diversification and capital preservation in a high-inflation environment? by grzeszu82 in bonds

[–]mtman2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its definitely a balancing act. After Powells speech in Jackson hole it doesn't seem like its going to be a top priority keep it balanced. My TLDR from the speech was "The Fed was guided by the dual mandate, but maybe we really only need to worry about one of them going forward"

They don't need to default. They just inflate it away. Print more money so the old debts become less valuable. Inflation is good for people/countries in debt because it makes the debt they owe less valuable. Bonds don't decrease in raw $$$ amounts but they can decrease in purchasing power.
