Fink is the founder and CEO of BlackRock which means it’s assets are his assets.

It's a publicly traded company, so no. It's assets are not his assets.

Is everyone just blatantly lying then? Because according to a google search, Elon Musk is worth 300+B, and Larry Fink is worth.. 1.2B.

Are you taking the 10 Trillion number from

Founded in 1988, initially as an enterprise risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US$11.5 trillion in assets under management as of 2024.

Because "assets under management" and "money that Larry Fink personally has" aren't the same thing.

Or is this some conspiracy theory shit?

Who's the guy on the left? I'm sure he's awful just via context clues, just not sure why.

Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.

What do you use as your primary platform? If you don't mind my asking.

I'm tryna diversify a bit more.

Also some genres lend themselves better to one or the other. I prefer controller for platformers and fighters, but prefer TB + KB for almost everything else

Yeah, I agree. I use a controller for platformers, fighting games and racing games. Also sometimes action RPGs- I've played Dark Souls with both input methods.

My only absolutely hard line is using a controller for any kind of shooter. I just can't, and trying is a very frustrating experience.

There are a lot of different preferred styles, as an example: eSports tends to higher DPI (dots per ich) since every millisecond counts but the precision falls behind which can be trained.

This is accurate, yeah. Sometimes pros use 400 DPI, some use 1000 DPI. There's probably at least a few madlads using 2000+ dpi or some shit.

Personally, I use 1600. I don't have a particular reason for that- I might actually try turning it down- it's just what feels comfortable.

I assumed. I know it's similar where I live, but for all I know Montana has some strangely restrictive finders keepers law where if you drop your wallet and someone else finds it you can only legally reclaim it via a duel to the death.

Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

This is a funny mental image.

"Breaking news: Man gets normal sized plate at buffet. More at 11."

Front of a newspaper in giant bold font:

"MAN TAKES NORMAL ROUTE HOME FROM WORK"

Where do you live? That matters, unless you're just asking from an ethics perspective. I'm not asking you to dox yourself, country/state is plenty.

Assuming you're Canadian(based off your instance being lemmy.ca) technically speaking you should report in to the police, and they'll hold it for 6 months. After that if someone hasn't claimed it you're free to claim it yourself. At least in Vancouver. Maybe the laws are different in other parts of Canada. Your local police probably have a non-emergency number for pretty much exactly this purpose if you wanna double check.

Realistically, it's not even $200. Probably keep it for a week or two and then tell the kid the cops couldn't find the original owner.

The dev refuses to let the anti cheat work on Linux.

 

I've been out for quite awhile- I think since shortly after Deimos and the cambion drift got added but honestly I'm not sure exactly when I stopped playing.

Any new guns/frames I should be trying to grab in particular? Any massive shifts in how things are modded? New quests that are worth doing?

I was trying to unlock Steel Path, but I realized I need to do New War first. So now I'm currently trying to get all the various stuff I need to craft a Voidrig.

 

I'm going to be starting a pretty short campaign here soon. I've mostly got the plot figured out, and when I was helping a player with character creation they asked if there was a good patron for their Warlock character. My initial thought was, "well the BBEG would be interesting."

The players are just exploring a ruined castle/island that's been twisted and it's inhabitants warped due to exposure to a great old one- they're trying to solve the problem and make the place habitable again.

The warlock's patron is the BBEG, an eldritch god trying to force his way onto their plane. He's currently held out of the plane by a magical seal that can't be broken by him or any of his servants. So the Warlock player needs to- subtly- get the party all the way to the seal and manipulate them into breaking it. I did this specifically to avoid him murder hoboing his party members. They have different goals, but they still need each other.

If this goes badly, I figure the worst case scenario is that he gets slapped by the other 5 party members. So I've asked him to have at least an idea for a second character.

I'm looking into buying a premium to grind German ground(and German air but I'm pretty settled on the Ju-288C for that.) And the RU 251 seems like a decent choice.

My german lineup is only up to 5.3- I have the first proper Panther and the first Tiger so it'll be awhile before I have a lineup to back the RU 251 up.

After buying it I'll only have like 300 GE leftover, and pack vehicles aren't an option.

 

Personally I think if everything that's promised actually happens the game will be in a significantly better state.
