Ironically I just watched a video of a dummy getting blown up by an RPG. Next story in my feed was this. Coincidence?
you ever RPG'd a chopper while in a chopper *on weed?!*
man Battlefield is so fun. just RPG'd a chopper while in a chopper.
Battlefield 6 is a horror game if you are an engineer because what do you mean I shot one RPG at a tank and now it's like the IDF heard I don't like central banking. My life can't possibly be worth 6 months of the US defense budget just to kill.
I horn swaggled the dip. It may be very powerful in the near future, but for now I don't have faith in my neighbor Earl pumping out a GTA7 or Tesla publishing a RPG where you play as Gork going on Ket quests with your dealer. Kuests if you will.
I am pretty sure that human designed games are not gonna be overtaken anytime soon bro. I have seen these tools behaving like retards on large codebases. We are safe for the time being. I was thinking more like a perpetual RPG type shit where your actions determine the plot ahead and the ai basically builds the plot with some randomness. That kind of shit won't beat something like Witcher 3, that's for sure
What if some random soldier in Tehran, was drunk af off his camel’s piss and shot an RPG in the air. It explodes in the air near US troops and starts WW3 by accident. Intrusive thoughts won.
That mother fucker shooting an RPG at some car in the Philippines is badass, not gonna lie. Dudes in flip flops.
They didn't figure out how to make it a 100-hour open world extravanganza with RPG elements everywhere, so they decided to cancel it.
100% tired of people gooning over RPG money
Retail getting tricked into generation bag holding on silver, enjoy your shitty RPG money.
I’ve never related so hard to a comment. 100% this fuck all those chuds with their RPG money and stupid space shit
Seriously. All they had to do was make a spinoff that was an Age of Exploration historical fiction action RPG that was about trade, piracy, exploration, with deep business simulation etc. without the lame AC lore, and they’d have had a massive hit IP. They could have done it in DLC expansions too. Start with Africa and the Mediterranean. Expand to Americas and Asia.
So whatever I buy gets fucked after one pump but people buy RPG money stocks and get to go up non-stop with zero pullbacks okay 👌
Going out on a limb here: my theory is its a play on China/Russia, cut off Cuba/Nicaragua from Venezuelan oil, and bracing for a future conflict with China. It looks like the US had a Deal in place with the Venezuelan Military. None if it makes any sense, can't tell me Helicopters can freely move above Caracas without any of the 1000s of paramilitaries, and soldiers able to handle an RPG from the ground. The moves on Greenland kinda follow a similar motive. The Ressources are important, but i do not think they are the main motive.
Sounds like you have no beneficial quality traits Treat it like an RPG and start maxing out
> According to the Guardian by Israels own (!) leaked classified documents 83% (!!) of those killed were civilians. False. The guardian, in an absolute disgrace of journalism, noted that 17% of Palestinians killed were IN DATABASES TAGGED AS TERRORISTS. That absolutely does not mean that 83% of those killed were not terrorists, just that they were not pretagged. You think some random grunt shooting a RPG at a tank is a civilian just because they weren't pre-identified as a terrorist? The guardian then packaged that piece of media illiteracy up for absolute morons as Israel is killing 83% civilians. Because clowns like yourself can't be bothered to actually use your noodle and instead listen to antisemitic rags that release things like Israel bombs a hospital and kills 500 (before retracting once it was proven the PIJ bombed a hospital parking lot by accident and killed 20). Next, give me an article with a picture of a kid with MS, crop out his fully fed brother right next to him, and sell it to me as a famine like the NYT. Maybe you can even run a sob story about a kid's life in Gaza wo is him (then retract once you realize his parents are literally part of hamas) like the BBC! You don't hate journalists NEARLY enough for absolutely blinding your ability to actual think critically.
It’s a turn based RPG for people who only play FPS games.
Fallout 76 was the smoking gun for me Zero chance we get another Oblivion/Skyrim level RPG. Zero
What a weird timeline. I can hit a helicopter 300m out with an unguided RPG in battlefield 6 but I can’t make a profit in this market.
Unironically yes. Shadows just barely above Odyssey though. I hate the RPG AC games that have disregarded the lore in favor of grindy and tedious mechanics.
Turn based RPG - Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity: OS 1 and 2 paved the way and BG 3 has been more successful too
Dead? AAA - Battlefield 6 seems to have knocked it out of the park with a very well optimized game. AA - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may actually win game of the year and has stunned a lot of people being a turn based RPG that a lot of people didn't think could still be a viable genre. Indie - Hollow Knight: Silksong is better than its predecessor and has cemented itself as one of the best Metroidvanias. 2025 was a stellar year for games.
Playing as an engineer on Battlefield 6 and using RPG’s to take out helicopters and tanks while listening to Arabic music for the meme has been fun but I’m slowly starting to like the Arabic music part Hoping I don’t sees a manifesto pop up on my computer and a Quran on my bedside table
I tried to play a simple RPG with ChatGPT and it couldn't even remember events a couple turns ago correctly and would get things mixed up. Getting it to make stock market trades is insane.
Sword & Supper. A froggy Idle RPG. Presented by lemme\_see\_datass.
bro doesn't play RPG and it shows
Ohhhh shit yeah that’s it isn’t it! It’s to defend yourselves from your government. (First of, wow, if there isnt a more threatening tone a government could put on its people than “here you should have these guns in case we decide to do bad things to you, gotta protect yourself from us…) But really? Okay so you have a pistol, a shotgun, an AK, and fuck it, I’ll give you an RPG. Your job is to take down a Kamikaze drone without also dying, can you do it? A predator drone? Next gen Jets? It’s a joke and Americas gun laws are a laughing stock to the rest of the world. It’s giving “man thinks he’s blind so refuses to take off blindfold” vibes…
AI Overview This image shows a "Moondial" from the game Stone Story RPG. The Moondial is a crafting component used to create powerful items. It increases the player's attack speed by 5, reducing the number of frames it takes to attack. Obtaining Moondials is crucial for progressing in the game and enhancing character abilities. Consider using it to craft items that align with your current gameplay strategy, such as weapons or accessories that benefit from increased attack speed.
If you like RPG, then try Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Amazing game with an incredible soundtrack.
Saw some Venezuelans loading up a van with plastic totes outside my favorite ethnic restaurant. Shot an RPG at it. That'll teach those drug dealers. 👊🇺🇲🔥
They have good IPs. Assassins Creed, Far Cry, and the whole Tom Clancy's stuff. They're known for AC though, and for the past decade they've basically butchered the franchise. Repetitive gameplay, sketchy storyline, and this weird back and forth shift to RPG style and stealth-focused. They need direction and the current leadership is not providing it.
"Pretty good" is . They are mid at best lol. Watered down RPG systems that provide no real gameplay value and are there purposefully to slow your progress down in hopes of buying XP boost. MTX shop in a singleplayer game. Vast open world that admittedly looks nice but is filled with the most boring slop fetch quests and the classic "clear the outpost" activities. Main story and characters so forgetful they could be a movie starred by the Rock. If that's pretty good, what's bad? Now, this will be an asshole elitist take from me but AC has joined the holy trifecta of "Fifa, CoD, AC" games. Which means when somebody tells me they mainly play one of these games, I immediately know they ain't really into gaming. They are just killing time.
Yeah a map that's mostly desert, cheap fetch quests and artificially drawing out play time is peak gaming. I have a feeling they mainly decided RPG was the right directions because that genre makes it decently easy to shit out slop while making it easy to waste the players' time Next step is Odyssey with its booster packs and many of the issues of Origins Valhalla fixed some stuff but the time period and the map weren't meant for AC Mirage was a step in the right direction but that'd be a long journey Haven't played Shadows so I can't comment on it
worst case if you get fired and then lose it all trying to retire and become a bum, it'll basically be like an RPG at that point, everything you carry would be your inventory, food noticeably restores health, and mobs would randomly aggro and whatnot, a simple life really.
That’s why I stopped dating girls and started dating UH-60’s. Destroying a black hawk in the air with an RPG from the ground is much more satisfying
soulslike, RPG, simulator, and many more
Same don’t feel like playing RPG anymore I am cooked but I do play Warzone to take all my frustration out
My RPG group hasn't met in years because of kids, so I need to pretend *something*.
I was 16 when covid struck and am 22 now, but I am offended at the roblox/console mention. I am a proud RPG pc gamer 😤
How did it feel like? I felt grateful. I come from a humble upbringing, when I moved to the States I left all my savings to my parents (around $6k I had saved in my local currency), and got here with about $300 usd. How did you make it? • I’ve always lived below my means. • I married a person with a similar mindset to mine. Supportive, and sees our relationship as “team work” in all areas of life, including the financial aspects. (We’re both immigrants). • I optimized for having a walking commute to work, so I don’t own a car. • I treated my life like an RPG, always grinding, leveling up my skills, and seeking promotions + increasing my income. • I’ve sacrificed many personal things, but I keep thinking that I have to support my parents, so that’s my main driver of focus.
I disagree, competition is far from fierce for high quality RPG single players games. We have shitload of shitty co-up shooters, arena shooters and survival games, but good AAA single player come out maybe once every 2 years, because there are very few studios who got the budget, talent and balls to pull that off. And boycott have never worked in gaming history, Can you name one successful boycot, because I can't ? Internet tried to boycot Hogwards Legacy (Harry poter AAA) and it sold 34 mil copies. People tend find scapegoat for poor sales and attribute that to boycott, when in fact their game didn't sell, because it was bad. Gamers don't care about politics, they just want to have fun games.
My wife is a lotto ticket player. She thinks scoring $1000 on the lotto is "real money". Me getting a $20 roi from parking a bit of money some place over the weekend is not "real money". Best I've been able to do is get her to max her 401k and invest it in an index DCA-n-chill. Rest of the time she's paying student loans, car payments, etc. I tell her "rich people are owed money, poor people owe money", and try to explain how we can take excess money, park it places, and people will owe us more money on top of it. She doesn't care. The gains are not the "winning the lotto" that she thinks is "Real money". Her eyes popped out of her head recently when I told her casually that I moved $50k from VOO to BRK.B in my IRA acct. She realized that was "real money". How did I get that much? By investing slowly and steadily over time and watching it grow. $50k wasn't even any of the principle, it was just part of the ROI. She is younger than me and career motivated, and has an exec job prospect coming up. As long as she's making bank she won't care about investing. That's why I try to step in and do it for her when I can. There's some people that just don't care, though until they see someone at the end of the marathon and go "holy shit, how did you do that?!" and the person goes "slow n steady with goals and strategy". and the person realizes they've wasted all their time and can't do it now. We get a lot of folks late in life posting on here asking what they can do to make up for lost time. I got into investing at 18 when I was working a crap job for crap pay, and one guy in my RPG tabletop group was working part time at a bakery but had his own car and apartment. I asked him how he did it. His dad bought him dividend stocks when he was a kid, and handed them to him when he was old enough to move out. He was living on the dividends. I was like "omg, there's a way out from working a crap job for the rest of my life until I die?!" I picked his brain. He got me interested, then I bought books, and did the rest. So, basically.. it's psychology / sociology.. you can't change a person. All you can do is change their environment and see if they'll change. A lot of folks don't care about investing until they hit some kind of wall or moment of clarity.. like realizing they're gonna work a crap job until they die if they don't do something, or realize they're getting too old to work and suddenyl wonder if they can do something with the money they have saved to save them from the "working until they die" hell hole they got caught in. Best you could probably do for her right now is just try to manage and invest her money for her. But, if she's making squat, and wants to spend it as it comes in, then she'll just see you as a threat by taking her money. And, she'll probably see any kind of investment next egg you save up for her as a windfall to go blow.. like on a trip or big ticket purchase. You can't change the person.. you have to let them figure it out for themselves, then try to help them when they wake up and try to make a change.
Do you even know that RPG stands for???LOL. MAGA fan? Proudly not. Grow up and read a newspaper
What a super MAGA fan we have here 😂 It doesn’t need world class military, 1 RPG to an oil tanker and an even bigger catastrophe plays out
Spot the robot dog equipped with an RPG is hilarious.
I grew up most of my life in California and now I live in PA. I lol at what people around here are saying about the situation. You do not want to piss these people off. I saw more intense riots when In-and-Out ran outta burgers. The police station in my hometown was once shot with an RPG.
I know its a western RPG right?
Clair obscure expedition 33 is really a top 10 game in the last decade. If you have some free time this weekend I recommend giving it a shot if you are into turned based RPG's with some dark souls elements. Calls on Sandfall game Studios
If people want no tariffs, why dont they move to a place with no tariffs like mexico. Mexico is soo cool you can even buy a RPG and use that RPG. All tariff free
Investing is a single player game, not a multiplayer RPG
Lmao, it’s long af but it’s pretty damn solid. Probably my top for the genre but that’s more of a RPG than strategy
Not that new, but I recently gave Age of Wonders 4 a proper try and if you like strategy with RPG elements then it's a great example of it.
Sure, I'll try to be a faint ray of financial responsibility in this den of degenerate gamblers and actually save you some money: The combat seems to be a turn-based, spatially-ignorant (as in it doesn't matter where anyone stands and moving is not a thing) system of rock-paper-scissors attack and action types that use some points of imaginary resources, basically the kind of logic puzzle/math equation masquerading as tactical combat that only JRPGs can still get away with. The first thing you learn about the setting is that there's some monster on the loose that already killed the majority of people, but the second thing that's seemingly at least as important is that your character is down bad for his ex (?) that you're about to meet, but you're escorted there by some pedo-bait that clearly also crushes on him, so you're already thrust balls-deep into some romantic drama and I don't imagine it gets any less of a spotlight later on. Every animation of the characters doing something is absurdly over-the-top acrobatical. You're supposed to go on some daring expedition, but every participant I've seen looks far more suited to be a thirst trap for bisexual teenagers than a commando. You know, it just has a lot of this vibe that I get seeing posts from the Genshin Impact subreddit on r/all. I could probably give you plenty more of examples of that if I played another 5 minutes, but I just went "That is way too fucking JPRG for my stomach" before I even finished the basic tutorial and deleted the game without hesitation. But to be clear and fair, what is there appears to be done very well, so if someone doesn't have a strong preference for the Western approach to RPG design and doesn't mind the plot playing out like a sappy anime, then I perfectly understand how they could consider it a great game.
AI summaries. They can be really bad for sure but as a bigger gamer I use basic google search a lot when looking up stuff for games I play. I play a lot of RPG’s and I have looked up questions about some that are a decade or more older and gotten decent results
If the stock market were an RPG, reaching $25k is like unlocking the end game content. gg
Yeah, well i am getting fucked. Just waiting for a scam tweet to wipe my puts or Powell to safe the day. But in better news. If you guys like RPG's and darksoul games. Play Expedition 33. Great game for real. Better than staring at charts all day.
That the finance system is so broke than a guy with just buy and sell stock (so not actually investing but do the equivelant of Pokémon card trade on school) gain more money than god and know as the all mighty omnicient is on the run of use that wealth to buy Even more to gain more and this until it's all-owner... The same race along Bezos and Musk(before he shoot at his foot with an RPG)
While I don't miss video rentals, my first love of online gaming came from the text based realtime RPG's of the 90's. The era of MUD's.\ But even if they would make a very unexpected comeback, the arthritis would keep me away.
Did you just come from RPG Codex or something?
Just watch... as soon as they open ion Massachusetts, the whole cafe/lounge system will explode, without the dispensary generic stuff, but by being supplied by "craft growers". In my home town, they're already planning to have a room for consumption and RPG playing, like organized Dungeons and Dragons league night at the comic book shop..
If you dont know what Stick RPG is, we will never really be friends :(
Lol @ that hairy guy with the RPG. You wanted turban warfare!!! Pete, we are go at 2200 hours. Bring some Jack downstairs with you. Lol I mean, a different bottle. Over.
This market makes me feel like I'm in the Taliban, with my cloth vest and sandals, firing a homemade RPG at an M1 Abrams.
Bro NPCs from games made in RPG Maker are more advanced than her ass. Leave her słone she regarded
They will "probably" decrease our GDP like this RPG will "probably" blow a hole in your home. You never know, a bird could fly down at the last second and take one for the team
I lived to see the US shoot itself in the foot by invading Iraq back in 2003. it is now shooting itself, and the rest of the world, in the face. With an RPG.
Rico can do us all a favor pulling out an RPG…
Basically we’re fucked guaranteed recession in that case. He has a hell of an ego but knows if he doesn’t walk it back that will happen. Trump always does surprise so who knows He might really say fuck it, But either way, I’m fine, the lower we go The better for me because i can build my port At lows. Let’s say he keeps these crazy rates, The entire world will go into a recession, Trump won’t let america sink without poking holes in everyone else’s ships, and the next administration would definitely be left wing and remove all of these tariffs. But the more likely play to me is walking back on extreme rates and finding out who wants to make deals with the US and who wants to be stubborn, Then those who make deals will be favored. He essentially pulled out an RPG and either we blow each other up Or We all chill and talk it out. These are the most extreme tariffs in 100 years
You understand that those ETFs have to own bitcoin in order to provide investors with an exposure to bitcoin, right? And fidelity and blackrock own those ETFs. Therefore, fidelity and blackrock own bitcoin. And the Trumps owning bitcoin and the president pushing to sell the country’s gold reserves to buy bitcoin is exactly the kind of grift that explains why tanking the US dollar and US economy was pre-planned.

Options on inverse leverage would be a legendary item in the WSB RPG
With mango in charge trading has now RPG vibe to it. Roll a dice to impose a tariffs. Imposition unsuccessful, buy car from Elmo.
cheap ass drones annihilating expensive armored vehicles in the Ukraine War supports this theory. every Army should assume its best tanks and IFVs \*will\* be hit and damaged by 2000 dollar drones with RPG taped on it
And if you end up going homeless, that's basically like living a real life RPG anyway.
It's the fault of those who told you to take the MAGA seriously, who said it's about free speech to consider their arguments equal to an economist's. You're called 'woke' or accused of being intolerant if you think giving power to illogical thinkers will cause big problems. If you see that theres an issue with the way Trump infer his truth from reality. People don't realize how much these folks played the victim to force others to believe them. It's like in an RPG where you max out your persuasion skills to and use mobs to believe you and help you win if they believe your crafted reality.
Last RPG I played was Skyrim. No need for another
Expectation: lonely man will have AI girlfriends. Reality: I'm now paying $20 a month to play solo-RPG with my buddy ChatGPT 4.5 because it's more fun than modern video games not named BG3. Long on NVDA, AMD, ASML, META, diamond hands.
This, but a lot of it is self inflicted. Its like they are playing an RPG, and then randomly changing it from story to hardcore mode without girding for higher level gear.
He named his kid techno mechanius?! Dafuq does he think this is?! A RPG?
I feel like I need to speak my truth: Dragon Age Veilguard wasn't a bad game and The Sims's expansion pack model isn't an entirely bad thing. The real problem for Veilguard is that Bauldur's Gate 3 was essentially everything an RPG fan could want and more and Veilguard just couldn't compete. Now, onto The Sims. The fact is, you can get hundreds of gameplay hours out of it. Paying a little bit every now and then isn't a bad thing. The problem is that EA puts out very small improvements in the packs.
It’s a single player open world RPG ain’t no spawning or loading 😭
Yeah, I read that in another subreddit. It’s wild how people can just invent themselves a persona. Real life RPG.
Plus he brags about spending time playing RPG video games.. this moron has like 12 kids I think. How can he justify finding the time for that, pathetic.
Tariffs are one thing. Canceling Colombian Govt visas is huge. Talk about bringing an RPG to a fist fight. Bruh take it easy!! 
Jokes aside, Game freak broke away from Nintendo! Jk… What I really think in my opinion. Okay, so companies have earning reports. If I have to guess… either the current switch and Nintendo products are selling too well and missed the mark. Consumers have placed extremely high expectations of the upcoming Switch 2 coming that will be released hopefully next year around Christmas of 2025 or delayed further into 2026 (This may cause their stock or shares to further plummet). The other thing might because of the poor performances and sales of Pokemon games and the company putting the lawsuit onto their local competition, Pocket Pair. This company published or released PalWorld what Pokemon could’ve been…. Online and RPG done correctly… except with Guns!!! It’s like a Pokemon but in Murrica… and yes you can stuff people in your balls in this game! It’s really just high expectations not met each quarterly causing it to plummet each time and I haven’t checked Nintendo for a few years now… geez… used to be over $30 per share!
CDR is my largest holding already. I am also bullish on the mid and long term. Their current plans are finally pursuing parallel development. (W3 and CP2077 should have been developed in parallel, but they focused on one after another) but constant monetization (live service) is not on the table yet and offers even higher revenue potentials. But my main investment reason: just gobble up shares so no mega corps buys them, or investment firm makes them maximize earning by fucking players. Getting to yearly AAA RPG releases starting 2026 would also be a big benefits compared to the current cyclic revenues.
I'm with you. I do think CDPR has lots to prove, but they are still one of the best studios out there. The whole Cyberpunk launch fiasco was way overblown, they have done a ton of patches since then to the game and have released a stellar expansion. The Cyberpunk anime was also highly praised. People are itching to play the next Witcher, there is also no new triple A fantasy RPG on the horizon at that calibre, so I'm super optimistic.
The Evolution of an Investor - Which Level Are You? Investing is like playing a grindy RPG: you start out clueless, pressing random buttons, and slowly unlock the skills to stop embarrassing yourself. Each level brings new abilities—and new ways to screw up. Here’s the breakdown: Level 1: The Stonk Ape (The Noob) Focus: Stonks only go up. Welcome to the market, kid. You saw someone on TikTok say to “buy the dip” and YOLO’ed your paycheck into a meme stock. You check the price every 5 minutes and panic-sell when it dips 3%, only to FOMO back in when it goes back up. Key Moves: • Buying whatever’s trending on Reddit. • Thinking “$30 stock is cheap; $500 stock is expensive.” • Unironically trusting Jim Cramer. Achievement Unlocked: Losing money for the first time and realizing you know nothing. Level 2: The Business Curious (Still Kinda Ape-ish) Focus: Wait, stocks = companies? You’ve discovered a groundbreaking idea: stocks represent businesses. You start asking things like, “What does this company actually do?” but your analysis ends there. You still mostly just chase hype but now pretend there’s logic behind your choices. Key Moves: • Googling “What does Tesla actually do?” before buying shares. • Dropping phrases like “disruptive innovation” without knowing what they mean. • Panicking every time a stock drops 5%. Achievement Unlocked: Bragging about your “DD” when your pick goes up but blaming “manipulation” when it tanks. Level 3: The Spreadsheet Warrior (The Dabbler) Focus: I made a spreadsheet. I’m basically Warren Buffett now. You’ve leveled up your toolkit. You can now read financial statements (kinda) and calculate basic ratios like P/E. You don’t fully understand them, but hey, it looks impressive. You’ve started using terms like “fundamentals” in casual conversation to flex on your friends. Key Moves: • Spending 4 hours making a spreadsheet, only to lose money anyway. • Using a P/E ratio to justify a buy without knowing what’s “good.” • Blindly trusting historical performance. Achievement Unlocked: The overconfidence of thinking you’ve figured it out (spoiler: you haven’t). Level 4: The Discount Cash Flow Bro (The Data Collector) Focus: DCFs, baby! (aka “Garbage in, garbage out.”) You’ve discovered valuation models like DCFs, EBITDA multiples, and dividend discount models. Armed with your newfound tools, you crank out valuations with the confidence of someone who has no idea how wrong their assumptions are. Key Moves: • Overestimating growth rates because “this company is different.” • Confusing precision with accuracy. • Feeling like a genius when your spreadsheet spits out a number. Achievement Unlocked: Realizing that numbers are meaningless if your inputs suck. Level 5: The Industry Detective (The Contextual Thinker) Focus: Connecting the dots. You’ve stopped looking at stocks in isolation and started analyzing the bigger picture. Now it’s all about industry trends and competitive dynamics. You can finally explain why some companies succeed and others don’t. Key Moves: • Asking questions like, “What’s the moat?” and actually knowing what it means. • Reading 50 pages of a report just to say, “Hmm, interesting.” • Realizing that industries can collapse (RIP Blockbuster). Achievement Unlocked: Losing faith in “disruption” after your hot startup stock gets crushed by industry realities. Level 6: The Narrative Enjoyer (The Storyteller) Focus: Building a story. You’ve evolved into the investor equivalent of a fantasy novelist. Numbers are cool, but now you’re crafting narratives about why your stock is destined to moon. You connect trends, management vision, and financials into a compelling thesis. Key Moves: • Calling yourself a “long-term investor” (translation: your picks are underwater). • Pitching your thesis to friends like it’s Shark Tank. • Ignoring counterarguments because “you just don’t get it.” Achievement Unlocked: Discovering that stories are fun but don’t always match reality. Level 7: The Bias Slayer (The Behavioral Strategist) Focus: Fixing your brain. Here’s where you start realizing the biggest threat to your portfolio isn’t the market—it’s you. You finally confront your behavioral biases, like chasing gains or panic-selling dips. Key Moves: • Learning about loss aversion and confirmation bias (and spotting it everywhere). • Creating rules like “Don’t check my portfolio every 2 seconds.” • Sticking to your plan even when the market acts like a toddler on a sugar high. Achievement Unlocked: Emotional control, or at least not panic-selling every dip. Level 8: The Market Chameleon (The Adaptive Analyst) Focus: Flexibility meets strategy. You’ve stopped seeing investing as static. Market conditions change, industries evolve, and you’ve learned to adapt your strategy. You balance conviction in your picks with the humility to pivot when the facts change. Key Moves: • Combining macro trends with company-level analysis. • Having the guts to cut your losses and move on. • Recognizing when the market’s irrational and taking advantage. Achievement Unlocked: Realizing that being right eventually doesn’t help if you’re broke now. Level 9: The Culture Whisperer (The Intangible Investigator) Focus: People > Numbers. Here’s where you unlock the cheat code: people run companies, not spreadsheets. You dive deep into management quality, company culture, and the intangible stuff that separates the great from the meh. Key Moves: • Judging CEOs like you’re on a reality TV panel. • Spotting red flags like high turnover or shady leadership. • Quoting “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” like a sage. Achievement Unlocked: The ability to pass on hyped stocks because the leadership is sus. Level 10: The Chad Investor (The Visionary) Focus: Synthesis and long-term domination. You’ve finally made it. You’ve mastered the art of blending quantitative analysis, qualitative insights, and psychological discipline into a seamless strategy. You don’t just react to the market—you anticipate it. Key Moves: • Making moves with ice in your veins while others panic. • Holding through turbulence because you see the bigger picture. • Knowing when to go all-in and when to walk away. Achievement Unlocked: Inner peace, because you know investing is a marathon, not a sprint.
Well that’s just the Sahed/Geran drones used for city targets to overwhelm defences. If they get through it’s a bonus. Article mentions the 4 Isklander missiles got through and weren’t shot down. Plus it means using up anti air defences. So they have to buy more ammo from the West. Also highlights where defences are, means more anti air defences are moved to that area leaving other areas less protected. First 10 months of the war, Ukraine used around 5 years worth US production of Javelins and 16 years worth of Stingers. So Raytheon had to overhaul their production facilities. Same with increasing artillery production. Think US upgraded a factory in Texas in one military aid deal. Different to frontline FPV mass produced drones where both sides can make 10k per month or more. Just strap a RPG warhead to one and pilot it towards tank. Decent track or engine hit to immobilise the vehicle, crew then has to abandon it. Few hundred $ against multi $ million tank. Then follow up drone hits to destroy or other side captures it, tows back for repairs and adds to their equipment. Pretty much why Russia this month was seen using a captured Bradley vehicle. They claimed around 5 have been captured so far.
I'm not a day trader and I could give paragraphs about why I don't like day trading, but people do it consistently and successfully. The argument that they're *always* just taking advantage of blind luck is insanity, because if that were true it would be statistically possible to locate the people with the highest Luck stats, and study whether or not a machine from the beginning of an RPG could be produced.

Perfect application for an RPG. Fuck Musk.
Iran's missiles did less damage than a gold RPG from Fortnite... time to pump back up and hit the griddy on the bers
