That game is literally the most overhyped game of the year. It's main quest are worst from any fantasy games I ever played. 16 quest and 14 of those are just 5-10 min talking with NPC so the game is actually very short, I got the platinum under 40 hours so it's not some kind of massive rpg, and the game feel very long because it was boring walking in mostly woods and fighting same 3 types of enemies. But I have to give some point for game being a very Germanic fable. Like you go to a dungeon and open a chest and it shit inside like 99% of other chest in games. You do a quest some one ask you to find someone to build him a cool statue, you find him best sculpture and in the end the person ain't happy with the result so like most quest have bad endings just like germoids fables. The game doesn't have tp or detailed map because “exploration” is big part of the game and without it you probably would been able to complete the game even faster. Balance of classes is also very questionable like the game has a tanking class for player only, you do some magic with smoke to agro enemy and do illusions like fake bridges so enemy think he can walk on it. Sounds cool, my most memorable moment of the game comes from levelling that class… because it's absolutely shit, you do 0 damage and depended fully on NPC who ain't as aggressive or active as the player so fight aster forever. They made sure to balance that class so it became a total shit, like removing ability to fly like other magic class can because with flying you would been able to push enemies out of cliffs easier. Yet the game has thief class who has 2 ultimate abilities one does explosion and second ignore all damage and use stamina but with some passives you never run out of stamina so you can just spam non stop explosions and nothing in that game would be able to survive it or damage you.

So in the end the game doesn't feel like an AAA game and more like semi indi AA game with a lot of questionable design and very r-slurred world. Like the game has lover/friend system, by doing someone missions or giving that person gifts (anything can be given) that person becomes your friend or lover, game doesn't truly indicate that mechanism so by normally playing you won't see it except in very end when dragon will show the character you mostly care about (it was kek moment because it was some random NPC I resurrected twice because she would randomly die of screen because game has very smart AI and I needed her alive for a quest)

So the game is solid 6/10 and not 86% metacrtic. It's not bad game it has it charm and quirks but it's not mega blockbuster and not a good example of its genre.

N/t this is worse than a non humid day in summer or school vacation week in winter

Maybe Cobes really does rule our sad lives

While everyone who has a clue about financial markets already has it figured out that rates are definitely going to rise a miniscule amount (I posted about shorting treasury notes more than a fortnight ago https://rdrama.net/h/meta/post/254970/fed-keeps-rates-unchanged-short-treasury ) it is never going to reach those cataclysmic 8% heights Dimon is predicting.

As always he's hyping himself up to be the only pundit in Wall Street who gets it correct so when rates rise he can wag his little scraggly fingers and boast how correct he was.

3 rate cuts so fast would have never worked out. Even more so as OPEC and especially Russian Oil output falls and shipping takes a hit (I posted about shipping problems too https://rdrama.net/post/256268/how-to-select-shipping-corporation-stocks).

Now all cozy sentiments of 2 rate cuts have vaporizer and the words rate hikes are back again in hushed tones in offices all throughout the country.

While the political expediency of an election year might let the Fed to postpone rate hikes or cuts and maintain a strict path of neutral rate stability for the rest of the year, make no mistake, rates are definitely going to go up from December.

If you have any debt, accelerate the prepayment. Do not wait for rate cuts with the rosy dream of refinancing. That's not happening.

You heard it here free of cost first. You'll hear it last. Bankers, especially the wily ones are definitely going to sell you on taking on more debt and how adjustable rates are your friends. They are not.

Not Corporatism, Corporatocracy. (68)

This is correct, "corporatism" has nothing to do with large for-profit corporations influencing politics. (23)

ummm Nancy Pelosy is literally a capitlist, she owns a ton of capital and has it invested. That's the literal definition. She is more of a capitalist then you. She is a corporate democrat are you really that politically illiterate? (105)

She's a corporate socialist. She's not a capitalist. You don't spend a trillion dollars of tax payer money on your favorite corporations to push your leftist environmental shit as a form of capitalism. She's doing the socialist bidding via socialism. (-15)

This whole debate between socialism and capitalism is stupid and soooo 100 years ago. The American public education system is a socialist institution and yet the US is not a socialist country. Yes market economies work much better than command economies like those of the USSR. That doesn't make Milton Friedman right and socialism wrong. I think these esoteric philosophical debates between extremely broad ideas are useless in the practical world. Is it not better to ask how we may use the ideas of both philosophies to inform our economic policies? Command economies don't work. We know this. The capitalism of Milton Friedman doesn't work. We SHOULD know this given the evidence of the last 40 years. Market economies are great but they need a regulatory government to prod them in the right direction and prevent the abuse and exploitation of the average citizen. I'm so tired of this stupid capitalism v socialism debate that gets rehashed every week where everyone makes the same stupid ar... (1)

“I'm 14 and this is deep” is bleeding over.Anyway, socialism sucks because; centralized planning results in market inefficiency which discourages innovation and productivity by removing individual incentives to perform and produce at a high level. It always leads to the loss of individual freedoms, and a devolution of society into full blown corruption. Obvious market distortions due to the previously mentioned inefficiencies resulting in shortages for things like diapers, food, medicine, etc, which leads to dead civilians, generally in the millions. The overall cuckening of society via stifling innovation due to lack of competition resulting in economic stagnation. For examples see the USSR, Maoist China, North Korea, and in modern times, my favorite, Venezuela. Note that they all resulted in authoritarianism and millions of dead humans. In part due to the human rights abuses and mass killings, and in part due to poor central planning and a rigid inability for the market to react t... (1)

Capitalist countries have deliberately disparaged and attacked socialist countries to ensure they fail. The vice versa is not true. (11)
