u/CarpeMuerte

Part of my background is in finance so I have a fascination with the monetization in these games and the psychology behind it. (FOMO)

The following are my prices on UE Leo - the 4 leaderboards that all require the purchase of specific pads. As we all know, prices can vary across accounts, the more you spend the more they cost. The one exception appears to be the current meta, those pads seem to be consistent.

I have 2 accounts one no spend in months, the other well - too much. These are the prices for me on those accounts YMMV:

Is it worth it? Naw, I'll pass as each new meta tends to make these all but cannon fodder.

Weapon Gold 20*6 = 120

Robot Gold 10*1.10 = 110

Special Edition 4*30 = 120

Robot Silver 37*1 = 37

No spend account: $387 Total + cost to upgrade

Weapon Gold 20*7.5 = 150

Robot Gold 10*1.25 = 125

Special Edition 4*30 = 120

Robot Silver 37*2.67 = ~100

Spend account: $495 Total + cost to upgrade

-and a list of all account numbers and download my account data at least monthly.

I wonder how many others had similar issues.

For the past several months I've been evaluating and testing the 4 major LLMs / AI environments to create a financial plan for myself and subsequently a few friends.

The result is several magnitudes greater than anything I've had before, but each one is very specific to each person, due to age, state of residency, filing status, sources of income, list of objectives - a laundry list of things effect a good plan.

I tried to get Claude (my tool of choice) to create a template that I could share with others as a Do-It yourself prompt document or .py script depending on their expertise. Unfortunately, this proved impractical due to all of the complexities mentioned above. Even Claude warned that this was going to be impractical as any output would be too specific and confusing for most to use.

So, instead I have created (with the help of Claude) a How-To get started guide. While this should work with any LLM, I've only tested extensively in Claude. As for Free or Pro - you could get started with Free, if you are willing to both use it after prime time hours (M-F 8am to 2pm EST) and weekends, and 'continue' a lot, but it may get you started. OR - spend $20 and jump in with both feet.

This is the link if any are interested is a shared, web published google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSDAUUn7oRZYv-YqdlJ0X2IBnS70rGeAADYlvjNZObtft0v3FVgNcThmbvFwkXRKXKmpQBpvm8KG6Jp/pub

Even though I have used AI to create my plan and it does many things Boldin (and others) cannot, it also exemplifies why something this broad would be very difficult, if not impossible, for Boldin or anyone else to implement. Boldin is great for what is and is improving. I still use it to backtest, visualize and create FPs for my adult children. BUT - it has limits on what it practically can be expected to do. It's great for those who are <40 with more typical needs. But for old codgers like myself or someone with more complex needs, this may provide you some information that is helpful.

All questions/comments welcome.

Several days ago I asked Claude to 'run the numbers' and give me a guess on what it may cost to get a Vector: https://www.reddit.com/r/walkingwarrobots/comments/1svmpfu/the_odds_of_getting_the_blaze_vector_according_to/

Surely I will be around the 50/50 mark, yes? I was close to those Claude predictions with the Anaksor and the Ammit before it.

Ha! Following were my results. It took 17 pads to get the Vector. Only 'upside' I had everything else (and then some) by then.

6 Light weapon (Blaze Celsius)

3 Medium weapons (Blaze Fahrenheit)

2 Pilots

5 Drones

1 Vector

17 pads * $30 - $510 (not including leveling everything)

RNGJesus once again b*tch slaps me back to reality.

Of course I only did this for the educational value.
Don't try this at home kids...

Would someone try and see if they are able to:

Add an xslx or csv file to a project and make sure Claude can read it?

My primary usage is for financial planning and research which requires uploading several files into a project.

The files appear in the project list, but the % used does not increment and Claude cannot read them.

I've been doing this for months without issue until 2 days ago.

For Google drive files it returns: "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'sheets.googleapis.com'"
Though it admits it doesn't appear to be a quote issue.

I did create a ticket 2 days ago but have not heard anything as of yet.

I have also tried 'List /mnt/project/' which sometimes works for some file types but not XLSX. I can add files directly to a chat, but that requires me to do that for every chat in the project which only chews up more usage and is more cumbersome as many of the files update daily.

PDFs still work without issue, but exporting a 30+ column spreadsheet to PDF isn't doable.
Code execution is enabled.

I'm just trying to confirm it's a repeatable issue with someone else.

For project added files it states:

Normal project ingestion (the pipeline that's broken): No error message at all. That's the problem — it fails silently. When this conversation started, the CSV was loaded into my context window like this:

<source>JointPositions20260430073650.csv</source>
<document_content><encoding>utf-8</encoding></document_content>

That's it. The file metadata came through (filename, encoding tag), but the actual content block is empty. No error, no exception, no truncation warning — just a successfully-rendered-but-blank document. From the system's perspective, ingestion "succeeded" and produced an empty document, which is why the UI shows the file as added but the preview, percentage, and download don't reflect any content. There's nothing to reflect.

I've tried drag-drop and using file manager / select, single - multiple. The file names show in the project, but usage % does not change, no preview and attempts to re-download fail. - and of course Claude cannot see / use any newly uploaded project files.

Started this morning, basic pro plan.
