Paribus: All To Play For.

All To Play For While many people in crypto, especially those on YouTube, focus on technical analysis to predict market trends, we prefer to zoom out and see the broader context. While charts can be helpful, much stronger headwinds often override them. This is especially true when it comes to the present geopolitical situation. Of all the lessons learned in 2022 the most valuable one is that although there are several risk factors inherent to the crypto market itself, it’s also vulnerable to more widespread market moves. Also, due to

Best cards to pull from the Yu-Gi-Oh! 2021 Tin of Ancient Battles

The 2021 Yu-Gi-Oh! Mega Tins—a reprint set full of rarity bumps, downgrades, and new cards that will change the meta in the TCG—are finally here.  This year’s Tin of Ancient Battles missed the mark for some high-profile cards that players were hoping would be reprinted, such as Accesscode Talker, a format staple that can easily sell for upwards of $140 per copy. But the cards that did get reprinted are still good, whether it be because it makes strong cards more affordable, or by giving players rarity bumps for meta-relevant

Konami confirms supply chain issues could delay shipments for 2021 Tin of Ancient Battles, other upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG products

Konami has had to delay several Yu-Gi-Oh! products throughout the last year due to supply chain issues. Thankfully, it appears that the company has managed to mitigate the problem somewhat, but several upcoming products for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG might still face some slowed distribution.  Supply chain issues are still affecting the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, according to Konami, though it isn’t causing a direct product delay this time. Instead, select products are going to be shipped out in waves to ensure that all distributors have at least some product available at their

Microsoft reports Q4 earnings, Xbox content and services down 4 percent

Microsoft held an investor meeting recently that detailed its results for the fourth quarter of the 2021 fiscal year (April 1 to June 30, 2021), which included overall revenue growth of 21 percent to $46.2 billion. The main driver for this revenue growth wasn’t the computing division, however, like in the previous quarter. Instead, it was the Intelligent Cloud segment, which consists of server products and cloud services. That segment revenue was $17.4 billion (37.66 percent of total revenue) and increased by 30 percent compared to the previous quarter. Azure’s

E3 2021 wrap-up

E3 2021 kicked off with news about E3 2022. Kind of a funny way to start a show, as Mayor Eric Garcetti told the crowd, “we look forward to seeing you in-person, here in the City of Angels, in 2022.” Also a bit funny when the mayor’s video game show announcement has less confetti and Minions than his state-reopening speech, but that’s something for another post. It’s understandable, of course, that E3’s organizers led with that news. The 2021 show was, like so many other things over the past year-and-a-half,

PlayStation 5 Allegedly Sold Over Twice As Many Units as Xbox Series X In Q1 2021

A new report suggests that, just as it did a generation before, PlayStation is running circles around Xbox shortly after a console launch. Specifically, the PlayStation 5 has allegedly sold over twice as many units as the Xbox Series X/S consoles. This would seem to be a bad sign for Xbox, but given the emptiness of store shelves, we shouldn’t be too hasty to declare anyone the winner of the console race just yet. The report comes from the research firm Ampere Analysis and claims that 2.83 million PlayStation 5s
