Today update

We passed 1000 deaths
We reached 1013
Which is uh..."only" a 11% increase, but those numbers are getting high so keeping a percantege above 10% is pretty bad

I think reading the story of the cruise ship is good enough to understand how contagious/deadly the virus is
There are 3700 people on the ship, "only" 61 infected. None of them died so far

If the virus was THAT contagious and deadly as the "ground zero narrative" claims, about 3000 of them would be infected. 2000 of them dead. Maybe more

But it isn't the case. There is no China to keep things hidden in this story, this is just the way it is.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories about the numbers being much higher than they are
I don't believe in the bio-weapon conspiracy thing either

This is still worrying because of the % of the death count
It's getting lower, yes, with the last day being "just" 13% increase from the day before, but even if it drop to 10% increase per day we are looking at more than 10k deaths in a month from now, and the numbers will only get higher with each day
I mean, the number of deaths this wednesday is double the number of deaths in wednesday last week...

When a republican is in office, invest in defense stocks. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, et al. They're a bunch of neocon chickenhawk cowards. When a democrat is in office, invest in gold and silver. I knew Obama would be Jimmy Carter 2.0, and what do you know: https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-year-chart

Interesting
Trump is indeed fantastic for the stock market. 2019 was such a godly year. I dread the day he lose the next election and we won't get such a good stock market again
But yeah, Gold tend to rise when the stock market crash, so there is another way to make money
Regarding Boeing -they are kind of a risky investment because of the Max 737 problems. I am sure that if they will fix all of it's problems the stock will soar, but right now it's too risky in my eyes (yes, more risky than Tesla)
Didn't hear about Lockheed Martin but holy hell that looks super good. Will research more on it

By the way if your question is "how to get rich while currently middle class", the best answer is to avoid college (or just go to trade school) and start your own business in something not stupid. Dog walkers are making a killing, but the big one is anything involved with building or fixing houses. Every single guy I know that's into flooring, drywalling, roofing, construction, etc etc makes 7 figures per year. @Corrik7 is a foreman, I think. He can vouch for how good construction is.

It's always funny when some millennial douchebag tries looking down at one of my manual labor buddies with their 40k/year job and 100k student loan debt. It's like bro, they make 7 figures and have no debt. Who is the dumb one?

Oh, yeah. I have a friend living on the US and he has a company of carpet cleaning and another of house fixing
The prices people there are willing to pay to fix their problems is crazy
$300 to dry a carpet after a water damage? jesus christ seriously just buy a new carpet or let it dry yourself ffs
The house fixing prices are even more ridiculous. $3000 for one-two hours work. And it's not a scam or something, they are willingly paying and even sometimes leave a tip

IBM is the best value stock right now. They're finally forcing out their incompetent CEO that almost caused the company to go bankrupt and replacing her with someone that actually knows what they're doing. I moved a million to it last month when the word on the street is she was stepping down and I don't regret it. The stock popped 5% when it was official news.

One day I will hear your tips for getting rich
Was some of it thanks to the stock market or something else?

Are you just investing for fun or to reliably make money?

Because if the latter, you should be buying into index funds rather than individual stocks.

Still learning and trying different strategies
At the end it all comes down to risk vs reward
But this is pretty emotionally tiring and a few days ago I took such a hit it will take me a few days to recover from it...
Still, been making a good money..mostly. A index can't increase 20% in one day

It also can't fall 20% in one day, hence the risk vs reward.
There are upsides and downsides to every strategy

Theres also articles by analysts saying it will be worth 7,000 in 4 years.

As they continue to sell their Tesla stock.

Mind you if you bought it a few months ago when it was ~300 I still thought it was overpriced but I could still see it being a reasonable buy if you had faith in the company.

But my advice now is basically

because what's happening now is 100% not going to last

I have been constantly buying and selling on new highs because I thought "yeah this is as high as it goes" only to regret it later
The stock market is not often discussed in this board but Tesla stock is such a phenomenon that I felt I must discuss it here to see if someone else here caught on this

Quest 64 - Didn't play. Aged like a shitty milk so I doubt I ever will. Barely even talked about and has terrible reviews all around. I don't see why you would want to play this. Hard pass

Minecraft - Didn't play. I remember I used to spent days on Warcraft 3 World Editor. But as I grew older I lost interest in those kind of games. I prefer a game that has a beginning and a end. And I heard Minecraft has a campaign mode but who really cares about it?

Fallout (series) - Didn't play. Not sure I am an fan of the genre.

Luigi's Mansion - Didn't play, but want to. One day I will play all 3 games

Harry Potter (series) - Didn't play...but why would you? At this point maybe add the whole Lego series to your list or something if you want to play "meh" games

Paper Mario - Only played the first game and like 20% of TTYD. Strong recommend. I need to continue TTYD someday

Golden Sun - Strong recommend. Fantastic two games. Might have aged a bit badly idk, but they have "dungeon puzzles" better than every other rpg. Dark Dawn is totally skippable

Super Smash Bros for Wii U - Played only the 3DS Version. Well even if Ultimate exists I still recommend it for the single player content, unlock everything, beat all challenges etc

Diablo II - Recommended. Great game

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos - Reforged is a lazy remaster, but it's better when talking about the campaign and campaign alone. Compare the graphics between the two as this is the only difference, if you believe the original graphics is better, play the original. Reforged barely add anything other than graphics, so it won't hurt your experience if you think the new graphics looks fine. Anyway, strong recommend, whatever version you choose (I recommend only the campaign)

Dragon Quest (series) - Didn't play, want to. No time sadly..

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 - I loved RCT1 so much. And 2 is better in every way...expect for not letting you charge for both park entrace and ride tickets. I hated that restriction so I gave up on it. It should be a good game if you can let that slide

Kingdom Hearts - Didn't play, want to

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - Best Mario and Luigi game. Play the DS version as the 3DS "Remake" is soulless. But honestly play it. You already played SSS so you know what to expect

Banjo-Tooie - Eh, it's fine. Original is better. It's fun and charming but nothing special, 7/10

Chrono Trigger - Honestly I think it's overrated, but it's an important game to play and the OST is fantastic. Yes, play it

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall - Didn't play. But I read that even the third game aged badly, so the second must be worse... sounds like a waste of time

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - Best 2D Zelda until a ALBW came out. Fantastic game, play it. No idea if the Switch remake is better

Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire - Play it. Then play ORAS if you want. I think playing remakes is a different experience from the original so I recommend playing them both

Super Mario Sunshine - Didn't play World but Sunshine is the worst 3D Mario. It's still fun, yes? but some SHINES are so annoying and some of them has such a terrible level design that it makes you remember the bad parts more than the good parts. It's hard to recommend...but ok..

I even loaded a previous save to make sure I didn't actually destroy the item by mistake..and nope, doesn't drop anything

I saw some screen shots. The colors look really washed out and the aesthetics are lacking in the same personality. The SC remaster was way better-looking.

The funniest thing Ive seen about this is the scene where Arthas kills Malganis being totally botched.

Oh what the hell, how is this worse? they put more effort into this one than just a regular attack animation
I know we all want to hate Reforged but let's not automatically assume that different = bad
There are very few changes in the campaign (and even less later on) but the few I noticed were welcome
They also made Sylvanes death resemble her death in Warbringers

They said that they would have cinematic cutscenes but there aren't any there.

This is kind of wrong though
I mentioned it in my topic but there are some differences
Not enough to warrant a remaster, but there are some (go compare Arthas picking up Frostmourne with the original, it's different)

---

wololo

It's kinda exaggerated though
I mean well it's still Warcraft 3 and besides one time I encountered a FPS drop and one time I got the "instant defeat" bug everything was fine
So if you just want to play the campaign I guess it isn't bad

But if we review it based on what it brings to the table as a remaster..the score is deserved imo
Graphics isn't terrible but isn't really that much better than the original which is 18 years old ffs
Regular trees look awful
Blizzard also lied about many things and did false advertising

Got to the final mission of the Undead and...
They did a fantastic job in the "The Siege of Dalaran" mission
THIS IS WHAT I EXPECTED REFORGE TO BE
Too bad this is the only mission so far that I noticed any changes
To quote the wiki-

Reforged remaster, the map's layout has been changed somewhat.

• The main quest name and description updated. Now requires to kill three random archmages and then Antonidas in the Violet Citadel.
• New optional quest added - Violet Council. Description: Dalaran's elite council of nine is spread throughout the city summoning reinforcements, and guarding treasures. Crush them to ease your path to victory.
• There are nine Council Wizards that can be slain in order to gain access to the various vaults holding either resources or other Dalaran experiments.
• On occasion, the wizards will summon their experiments to help attack the undead forces.

Starcraft II was the last thing Blizzard didnt fuck up. So...2013 or so? Cant remember when Legacy of the Void came out.

Hm...gameplay wise, Starcraft 2 was good
But splitting it to 3 parts hurt sales badly, it always felt "not complete" before LotV came out and then it was too late to care about Starcraft 2
And the story in the campaign is a mess, probably the worst story I have ever seen when compared to the original game
Kerrigan turned from being one of the best female villain of all times to one of the worst written characters ever

Finished the Human Campaign
Some points-

-Overall, this is still Warcraft 3. Which is a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your views on the original Warcraft 3.

-I am glad that they included the demo missions as part of the prologue. No idea why they didn't do this in the original/via updates

-Experienced some massive FPS drops in the second (or the third mission) no idea what was up with that because it didn't happen later

-With that said, game doesn't feel smooth. the movement of the heroes look like in 10 FPS or something

-I really like Warcraft 3. I do. But there are two things that I couldn't stand - the Upkeep mechanics and the pathing
Now obviously upkeep is here to stay...but couldn't they fix the pathing at least?
When I control a team and I want to pick up a item with my hero, other units block the hero and won't fucking move to let him pass. This is so stupid. It was forgiveable 18 years ago. Now..not so much

-During the years Warcraft 3 got many patches. In one of the patches they changed the tomes to be auto activated upon picking up. In the early missions some NPC give you a tome and says "here, have this item" and it just activates without you even understanding what the hell happened. This is stupid. They should have changed it to be less confusing

-In another patch, they nerfed Mountain King Storm Bolt to not being able to cast on buildings. This was for a ladder balance, but it made the mission of destroying the ships so much harder. To make matters worse, there is still even in-game hint that tells you to use the Storm Bolt to destroy the ships...yet you can't. Wow......

-They no longer refer to Grom as Grom, but rather "Hellscream" or "Grommish". Noticed it right away

-Some cutscenes ARE different. Arthas Picking up Frostmourne is animated. Arthas killing Mal'Ganis by stabbing him with the sword and twisting it inside of him is animated. Sadly, those are the only two cutscene differences I found yet. Oh and I think Muradin dying to the Ice Shard was modified too..but for the worse, because I couldn't even see the shards? maybe I just missed it

And this is why I will never, ever, respect Joe
Standing behind Game Freak's every damn time. Even when he doesn't like something (the Dexit) he says "but I can understand why they did it"

A PKM file for Gen 5 is 236 bytes (yes, bytes. not kilobytes). This is the size it takes to store every single info about a certain Pokemon. Let's get mad and say that nowadays there are more info to store (hmm, besides "marks" which are new for SwSh and Gigatamax marking, I don't think there is any new info, but whatever) let's say it's 512 bytes per Pokemon, ok?
And we can store 6000 of them
This is 512 * 6000 = 3072000 bytes
Do you know how much this is in Megabytes? 3 MEGABYTES
Yes. You are paying $16 a year for a storage of a whopping 3 megabytes

Please tell me I calculated it wrong because I can't even believe it myself

Edit - oh by the way there is a difference between "Size" and "Size on Disk"
Not sure by how much but let's say it's 10 times the size? 30 megabytes. Wow
