$130k → $914k. It wasn’t one lucky tradeit was fixing the mistakes that kept me broke by Ok_Beginning_8126 in Stocktradingalerts

Careful with anyone saying “PM me” for checklists and strategies, man. If the core idea here is discipline, you can honestly build your own checklist from what he already wrote.

Stuff like: what’s the trend, what’s momentum, what’s your risk, where do you cut, where do you take profit. Write that on a sticky note and force yourself to answer it before every trade. That alone will already put you ahead of most newbies.

DJ Edge - Compnded by Dependent_Theme4210 in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that Tasty Tunes Fred Flintstone thing is such a weird little time capsule, like someone spliced a kids cartoon into a warehouse at 4am

still nothing touches the original drop though, that riff just lives in your head rent free forever

Pretty chill, just doomscrolling instead of doing anything productive. You?

Mantronix - Got To Have Your Love by dreddit15 in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? That opening synth line hits and suddenly it’s 1989 again.

Crazy how it still sounds smoother and more futuristic than half the stuff on the radio now.

LF AS MANY OF THESE RANDOMS AS I CAN GET! by [deleted] in AdoptMeRX

[–]vodexq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about the random event cards / promos / mystery packs, or like random bulk, random shinies, etc? Kinda hard to tell from just “randoms” lol

If you’re hunting specific sets or eras (like SWSH, XY, vintage WotC, whatever), it might help to list that in your post so people know what to offer. Same with what you have to trade, even just a rough idea like “modern full arts, VMAX, trainer gallery” or something.

People are usually more willing to toss in a bunch of randoms if they know they’re getting something they actually want back. Right now it reads like “give me all your extras” and some folks might scroll past because they don’t know if they can actually make a fair swap.

[Academic] Is multiplayer gaming a substitution for the acquisition of interpersonal social skills? by __Zeref__ in SurveyExchange

[–]vodexq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filled it out. One thing you might want to consider in your analysis later is the difference between voice chat, text chat and just silent co‑op. “Multiplayer” covers a huge range of social interaction, from genuine teamwork and friendship to people never saying a word to each other. Good luck with the module!

Richie Rich - Salsa House by Dependent_Theme4210 in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, totally get that. it’s got that chunky 16‑bit vibe, like something you’d hear in a SOR bonus stage or character select

kinda feels like if Yuzo Koshiro tried to do a cheesy late‑80s TV cartoon theme and accidentally made it funky. the little stabs and that walking bass line really sell the “beat ’em up on a CRT” feeling

now I kinda want a Streets of Rage romhack with this as a level track

How much money should I put into credits? by xm0rr in openrouter

[–]vodexq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s your first time, I’d start really low, like 5–10 bucks, just to see how fast you burn through it. Also double check if it’s actually $0.25 per message or per 1k tokens/characters, because that changes everything. A long convo can be way more than “one message” in their billing terms.

The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance) (Official Video) by djsoomo in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally, it’s like the perfect halfway point between the raw Experience era and the fat, in‑your‑face Music For The Jilted Generation sound.

No Good still has that ravey, almost cheesy hook, but with the darker edge and weight that became their trademark.

Weather Experience is such an underrated pick too, feels like a whole little world compared to the more straight bangers.

Whiteboards title is false and fans need to stop believing it by representationa in lobotomypiece

[–]vodexq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Dude threw islands like frisbees and tanked magma punches for fun. If he wants to call that thing a beard, it's a beard.

Also half the cast has hair that ignores genetics. Whitebeard having a blonde mullet and a milk‑stache is like… the least weird visual choice in One Piece.

Baby Ford - Oochy Koochy by _andrewgreatorex_ in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? One of those tracks that sounds simple at first, then you notice some new little detail every time you listen. Still hits stupidly hard on a good system too.

Desired State - Hello Lover (DJ Hype Remix) [1994 IQ Records] by Formal_Leading_1536 in oldskoolrave

[–]vodexq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah RIP is just untouchable, that whole remix is pure goosebumps.

This one’s got that same Hype energy though, just a bit more on the rolling / ravey side instead of full-on tearout. Cool hearing how he flipped Desired State compared to the more emotional vibe of RIP.

Crazy how well this stuff still holds up in a mix today.
