So for those of you familiar with the 5 minute BTC Up/Down market, you know that often times that particular market doesn't generate a lot of volume during the small 5 minute cycle. It usually tends to range between $30K-$55K.

So it got me wondering...what would happen if some mega whale tried to bet with a bookoo amount of bucks, say...$100K into the 5 min market, knowing he's gonna swallow up all the volume and liquidity?

For example....Let's say the whale goes in with $100K on a 5min BTC cycle that only has $40K liquidity. He sees there's only 1 share left at $0.99. The timer is at 20 seconds and is about to resolve, so he goes in for the kill, hoping to get the $0.99 share, and that the market doesn't flip. What happens to his buy order?

Will...

A)It get filled with no issues and he wins the full share?

B)Polymarket's webpage reject his order outright due to slippage?

C)He gets in, but he won't get the full $0.99 share. Because of slippage, his strike price will "slip" to $0.99.99, giving him only $0.001 per dollar profit?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this scenario.

Hi guys. OK so I'm running the latest Windows version of GroovyMAME, and using the D3D renderer. I'm just wondering, why does GroovyMAME....when running in a window after about 5 minutes or so, always get "stuck" on top of my desktop? What I mean by this, is the window will stay at the forefront even if I click away to another window on my taskbar. Almost as if it's running in exclusive mode but in a window. It's really bizarre.

Usually when you click away to another window, that window will pop into focus and move on top of everything else. But with GroovyMAME, the only way to get it out of the way is to minimize the window by clicking the little dash in the top right corner. Any ideas on how to change this and make it act like a normal window?

If we take all the Pac-Man related games(Junior, Super, Ms., Battle Royale, etc) that have come out in the arcade since the original machine, which one would you say is A)Your favorite and B)The best one from a totally objective perspective ?

Polymarket now offers perpetuals contracts. Do you guys think binary options could come next? If so, how many of you would like that announcement and start trading on there? And do you think they would pose a threat to PO?

Hey guys, just wondering where is the best place to grind in Disgaea 5? My characters....well, the ones that are my main 10...are all averaging around lvl 39-45. So just wondering what the best course of action is to grind and level them up at these levels? Is the Item World the best place you'd recommend?

Oh and bonus question please....how do I know which episode/chapter I'm on? I know they tell you at the beginning of the episode but I forget most of the time lol.

OK so piggybacking off of Spare_Snow__2734's thread regarding his complaints about the grinding in D1, it got me curious....what's another strategy game you'd recommend outside of the Disgaea series that does not require so much grinding but is still fun and has good gameplay? The only other strategy game I've played apart this series is Fire Emblem 5 on the GBA and that ages ago, and it was....OK I guess?

Hi guys. Haven't used the app in ages, but just came back to it and noticed that the "seeds" column is not showing under either "Downloading" or "Library". Is this something new, or can I re-enable the seeds column so that it shows? I'm running Windows 10 64bit.

The only headset I've ever owned was the Oculus Rift CV1, and while I got rid of years ago, I did have a good time with it and thought the visuals were pretty good for it's time(we're talking circa 2018).

The one thing I remember noticing however, is the amount of glare it had during dark or high contrast scenes. It never really bothered me to point of not wanting to use the headset, but I did notice it nonetheless.

Which brings me today...I'm thinking of picking up an Apple Vision Pro this Christmas mainly for watching movies, and I heard there is some glare when watching movies in a dark environment.

Which brings me to my question....does anyone here own an AVP or have demo'ed the AVP? If so, how would you compare the glare in that unit to the ancient and now defunct Rift CV1, particularly in dark scenes? Is it as bad as the CV1 or would you say the CV1 is a lot worse?

Hi guys, hope you are doing well. Just started using GroovyMAME because I read it's the version of MAME with the least amount of input latency. And sure enough, I do notice a difference coming from regular MAME.

But...I vaguely remember reading a long time ago something about there being certain settings in the ini file you can change to make it have EVEN LESS input lag than default.

Can anyone tell me which settings I need to change to make GM run at its most optimal and with the least amount of input latency, even if it's marginal at best?

I was on one of the goth music forums a while back, and someone asked for recommendations for some 80's goth bands. Almost everyone suggested the usual suspects....The Cure, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. Those are some of my favorite bands and they are without question goth bands. However, not one person recommended Depeche Mode, and it got me wondering why.

Seems a lot of people think of DM as just a synth pop band. But if you think about it, most of their material ranges from kinda dark to straight up brooding and ominous.

Martin has been writing dark lyrics since forever, going all the way back to Blasphemous Rumors and even before then. Dark lyrics and moody, ominous sounding melodies and compositions have been a staple of DM, so why is it that they're never in the conversation or mentioned whenever people suggest goth bands?

Could it because their sound incorporates synthesizers and (sometimes)dance-y melodies, therefore so-called "die-hard goth heads" have simply written them off as a superficial pop band?

What do you guys think? Is DM a goth band in your eyes? Or would you absolutely not place them in that category? Does a band have to use drums and heavy guitars to qualify as a goth band?

Sup guys. So I'm curious...which is the better album between these two in your *personal* opinion?

For me it's pretty close, as MFTM was the first DM album I got into and what got me into the band, but after sooooooo many years listening to both, I'll give the slight nod to BC.

Sup guys. So I've been wondering....what is the difference between the way the ghosts behaves between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man?

I've heard people say the original game's ghosts AI moves in a set pattern every time. But I'm starting to doubt that, because I've seen them move in different ways despite me taking the same route several times.

On the flip side, I've heard people say they prefer Ms. because the ghosts in Ms. ALWAYS moves randomly and never take the same route or pattern twice. But is this really true?

Can the ghosts in Ms. be manipulated the same way they can in Pac-Man? And do the behavior of the ghosts in Pac-Man *really* follow a set pattern every time?

Would love to hear from any of you who have extensive experience with both games, and have compared the ghosts in both. Also do any of you prefer one or the other strictly *BECAUSE* of the ghosts' movement?

In D5, how much do you guys value the squad organization aspect of the game? And out of all the squads, which one is the most valuable in your opinion? I've been pumping nearly all my prisoners into Capture but the last level(Level 7) wants over 10,000 points! Yikes. So I'm trying to figure out which next squad I should be focusing on.

Sup guys. OK so just made it to chapter 5(Ice/Snow world stages) so still fairly early game for me, and my characters are average between lvl 18 and 22. Problem, is their HP are all over the place, with most of the ones with valuable skills/class(ie Thief, Mage, etc) having HP in the 360-550 range, while Killia and Magnus are in the 1000-1400 range. I want to bring the other characters' HP up to their level and get them at least above 1000. What's the fastest way to achieve this?

Hey guys. So I'm playing D5, and I'm on one of the mushroom stages. I purchased the Paralysis vaccine in the skill shop, but I'm still getting stunned by those Eryngi mushrooms. Why is that? Aren't I supposed to be completely immune from getting stunned?

Sup guys. Does anyone know if the Golden tooth stacks? IE if I have two of them I'll get 50% damage for every crit instead of 25%?

I'm not a trader but I've been casually following the markets for quite a while, and I've seen sooooooooooooo many groups or traders over the years offer PAMMS(mostly FOREX) where you join and give the trader funds to trade for you.

Some have lasted quite a while....but eventually every single one has blown the account sooner or later. I have NEVER seen or heard of a PAMM that lasts 15+ years, making their client money consistently without account liquidation. Have any of you? If so which ones?

Sup guys. Just want to hear your thoughts on XRP.

I've been in the space for a while and can't help but wonder where XRP stands in the broader consensus of how well people perceive the project will succeed. Guess we'll find out in the next cycle.

But in the meantime, XRP's been in the news a lot lately and it seems a lot of the news has been quite bullish. I don't own any, but was thinking of buying some.

So...what are your price predictions for this coin, and do you consider XRP a must have in your alt portfolio?

Furthermore, which coin are you more bullish on between XRP and ETH?

Does anyone know if either Predictfun, Opinion or Hyperliquid offer leverage trading on any of the BTC Up/Down markets? If so, which platform? If not, do any of them plan on doing so?

Hi guys. I heard a rumor that Hyperliquid will be adding BTC 5 minute and even 1 minute Up/Down markets in their prediction section. Is there any truth to this?
