besting Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary, which rang up a $33.1M Friday/previews — but it’s also the best opening Wednesday in April, beating 2023’s The Super Mario Bros Movie, which brought in $31.7M. Keep in mind, no previews puffing up that figure.
Celebrating a rehashed sequel beating a genuinely good original IP. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Yeah, this is going to ruin their current flawless library.
When I published my book “Deep Work” 10 years ago, I argued that email and instant messages were degrading our ability to concentrate on hard mental tasks. I recommended putting aside long stretches of time for uninterrupted thinking and treating this cognitive activity like a skill that you can improve through practice. The term “deep work” quickly entered the vernacular, and I started to hear people and companies use it without even realizing its source.
An opinion article hyping someone’s own work. Gross self aggrandizing. This kind of shit immediately removes my faith in the author’s intent and the article’s purpose. They should make their point without citing themselves.
Honestly, if the game is too cheap and I end up putting more time than money into it, I’ll happily pay for the extras.
Followed by the first puff and “Fuck that’s amazing” all over again.
For how long? Bet it isn’t more than 15 minutes before pieces of metal come out.
No valuation means this is hype and no substance.
Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed, FIFA, NBA, the entire brown and grey period of the 360 era.
I assure you it has always been sloppy.
In the future RAM will be so rare that a venture capital firm launches an analog rocket to retrieve Voyager 1 and 2.
2010 seems to have the same level of new games as we do now, if the same metrics of “indie vs AAA” are used
It is cafeteria food. The attraction is Cane Sauce. It’s literally the only thing that elevates the food. Cane’s is the worst fried chicken recipe.
I’d like to know more
The first suspect is an 80-year-old truck driver from San Vito al Tagliamento, a town in the Friuli region near the Slovenian border, whose house was searched by the Carabinieri. He was questioned by the prosecutor last month, but upon leaving, he told the media that he had nothing to do with it and that he only went to Bosnia in the 1990s for work, “not to hunt.” The other two suspects, according to media reports, are a man from central Italy who is an avid hunter and a businessman from Lombardy, the region of Milan.
The prosecution had alighted on them because in one way or another at some point they had spoken of having participated in these trips, even boasting about it at social gatherings, and they had been pointed out by people who heard them.
Going after the blue collar worker instead of the avid hunter or businessman who boasted about hunting people. Why even waste resources on the truck driver?
The less something is available, the more it is worth.
Capitalist propaganda. Rare garbage is still garbage. The desire has to be there and often isn’t. But capitalist ideas say you have to hoard for potential.
Taxes are not theft. They are contributing to the group that shares resources like water and services like roads. These are not naturally forming, they are planned and maintained by people doing a job who need to be compensated.
The problem with taxes is who is taxed. If only a few hundred families control a majority of the wealth, why are you paying taxes? They need to be taxed back down to the quality of life that we live.
These prevention programs have found that with a payment of several thousand dollars, aid organizations can head off someone’s homelessness. That both prevents the trauma that comes with losing a home, and saves the state or local government the potentially tens of thousands of dollars it takes to help someone after they become homeless.
But prevention has its own challenges: The aid is most effective when it goes to people imminently at risk of losing their housing, and determining exactly who that is can be tricky.
Removing capital requirement directly stops the creation of unhoused or underhoused people. Like there is no more clear way to show how capitalism requires cruelty to function as it demands those who can’t pay either die or suffer.
So Vizio is offering dumb TVs without Walmart accounts? I am actually kind of interested.
