@NotPauseNPlay Prices for Pandoras and Hedge Mazes will probably settle closer to where Superconductors are at right now. Still expensive compared to where the best Dead Hand gloves will eventually end up, but not by such a significant amount.

MW Pandoras box are down massively since the release of the new gloves. 8100 from the end of February to 6500 to the end of March. Do the pandoras drop even more in the month of April?

@xMaccaruni @Chris_Helena96 @Twinwar @IGN True. The right director who respects Tolkien's work could make a masterpiece of an adaptation that surpasses the Peter Jackson trilogy, if given enough time, money and freedom. But in the current film industry, we'd more likely see another mess like the Hobbit trilogy.

@lu_cs2 @Chris_Helena96 @Twinwar @IGN Issue is that we know damn well that they wont put any effort and just try to ruin it like they did with Marvel, Starwars and many more beloved IPs

Rather than move forward with spinoffs that cling to the original The Lord of the Rings movies, maybe the time has come to give the franchise a full, Harry Potter-style reboot. bit.ly/4rY74wY

@Twinwar @IGN The Academy Awards didn't even give Best Picture to the best film in the trilogy (Fellowship of the Ring). Master and Commander should've won in 2003.

Hence near perfect. There’s always something to criticize no matter what movie it is. Because no movie is perfect. However, that doesn’t take away the point of why it is near perfect. And it’s not just the fans that find them near perfect. It’s nearly everybody on the Earth. After all, there is a reason why they won a total of 17 Academy Awards from 30 nominations. And it’s not because the movies are just good or great. They’re amazing. From the writing, acting, to the cinematography. And Peter Jackson did a fantastic job with the time he was given to bring the books to the silver screen.

What is this craftsman working on? Wrong answers only. OG TES 2: Daggerfall

@SavinThePeeps @Twinwar @IGN The Hobbit films were utter trash. Even Jackson himself admits they weren't nearly as good as they should've been. Very easy to surpass those. The LOTR films are excellent, but I see lots of things that could be better, both as a fan of cinema and as a fan of Tolkien.

@lu_cs2 @Twinwar @IGN They'll never be surpassed. The Hobbit perhaps. But the Original trilogy will never be topped. Hollywood can't do it.

@Chris_Helena96 @Twinwar @IGN Remake isn't the right word here. That implies that the LOTR trilogy is the source material. There were adaptations before the Jackson trilogy, and there should be adaptations in the future. It's a failure of imagination to think that the LOTR trilogy cannot be surpassed.

@lu_cs2 @Twinwar @IGN Art is a product of it's time, the movies does not need a remake.

@Twinwar @IGN "Near perfect" except for the awful CGI that gets so much screen time, or the characters that are butchered for comic relief. The Peter Jackson movies are great, but fans put them on too high of a pedestal. They can and hopefully will be surpassed one day.

@IGN Why? The movies are timeless and near perfect, there’s no need to remake them.

@MrBadBit I'm not even sure it's a top 3 FromSoftware game ever made.

All these conversations around console price increases are just a distraction…. … of the fact that Elden Ring is literally the greatest video game ever made.

@blankcardboard @TheUFCStats Let's ask the fans to pick between: Topuria vs Gaethje or Makhachev Volkanovski vs Lopes or Evloev Or how about letting them pick one of the following to come out of retirement: Diaz, Masvidal or Khabib. I think you'd be surprised. The UFC is out of touch with the fans.

@TheUFCStats The Dagi fans will cry about it, but Dana himself said they're moving away from signing fighters like those from Dagestan. Even Evloev figured out that fans want to watch fighting, not wrestling used to avoid a fight.

"Why did people stop buying PPVs?"

@TheUFCStats Oh please. If Khabib came out of retirement tomorrow, fans would go crazy.

@RX_MMA_06 The biggest weight bully of them all: - Started his amateur career at middleweight. - Moved down to welterweight for his pro debut. - Jumped down to featherweight to clear out that division. - Moved up to lightweight and made fans accuse his opponent of being the weight bully..

This is the worst case of weight bullying I have ever seen, this dude is a coward Eat some food and fight at LHW, you're 6'6 ffs

@tradeit_gg I think they'll fall to around the $2k mark in FT, along with Pandoras. FN will still obviously carry a premium, but there's no justification anymore for any gloves to be so far above Steam market price in FT condition.

Hedge Mazes are down tremendously 😭 A Field-Tested pair was going for $8,000 in the beginning of the year. They are now $5,000 📉

@WeAreTheOverlap Too much nostalgia for Dalglish and Rush. Salah has eclipsed both.

Liverpool fans… 👀 Where does Mo Salah rank among your club’s legends? 👑🇪🇬

@ESPNUK "Morientes or Morientes"

Is Fernando Morientes better than these current strikers?

@TolkienWorldG They actually made some valid points about CGI, but then followed it up with stupid takes most LOTR fans will never agree with.

Lmao I’ve been blocked by CBR. I consider that a great honour 🎉

@RobertSevenor9 @bestofstarwar At least he was just a side character of little importance. It's not like they took a super important character from the storyline who is supposed to elicit fear and revulsion, and used CGI to turn them into a cute and silly comic relief character.

@bestofstarwar It’s because this guy was in the movie.

“I genuinely can't understand how the previous generation saw this in 1999 and said "this sucks".”

@blueberry12143 @TechsavvyCS That’s the beauty of the system. If enough people don’t buy a particular item from the terminal, Valve automatically lower the price for future terminal openings. Also, the implication that we’re going to keep getting golds this way is enough to influence the market.

@lu_cs2 @TechsavvyCS do people really buy the gold that gets offerd in the terminals? I just dont se that so many people can afford to put 1k euro to buy a terminal glove that would result in the market dipping a bit.

Pretty much all skins are down across the board this week 📉 Is it the reload update? Players quitting and dumping playskins? I can’t pinpoint a clear reason right now. Usually there’s ONE obvious cause, but this feels different. Anyone got a solid explanation? 🤔

@clashdotgg Professional analysts: “ZywOo only started AWPing aggressively in 2026. Before that he just held angles. If he did this sooner, we’d rate him as highly as s1mple”.

7 Years ago, ZywOo destroyed ENCE on Inferno with this AWP banana rush

@I_am_jerm What’s not adding up? Both the covert tradeups and golds being added to terminals are clearly intended to bring knives/gloves within the Steam market limit over time. Just doesn’t make sense anymore to spend $10k on a beat up pair of Hedge Mazes.

Market dropping while player base increases for 6th straight month hmmmm something not adding up there haha (buy the dip)
