It’s the rotary shifter knobs and the AC controls buried in touchscreen menus that kill me

Are you talking about the attachment point for a shoulder rest?

This feeling is the mood of Zac Gorman’s Magical Game Time webcomics

Epic is also private though I agree with your sentiment 100%

This guy is a total asshole, great to see him getting dragged in this review

You have to let it soften first by placing it over a warm cup of tea

Burning Man may be the epitome of the many optimistic and maybe naive qualities of the 90s that were co-opted and exploited in the early 2000s, and turned into the very things they were built to protest against - another being the free and open internet

Yeah it does seem counterproductive, companies in other industries do this all the time it just goes unnoticed - this system does not work in the consumer’s favor

Well, I think there is a question too of the value that theses assets have when brought directly to streaming and the reason we’re seeing studios start to rethink this strategy and schedule more theatrical runs

However from what you described the scenario is similar and these situations also occur with more traditional assets, for instance a manufacturer who brings a product to market that significantly underperforms because of an unforeseen event, if the assets market value drops below what has been accounted for they write down that difference as a loss. This loss offsets other gains the company recognizes and therefore rescues their tax burden. Consumers are able to take advantage of this as well if they experience a loss in their investments (capital losses)

For businesses and consumers the ability to write down losses encourages additional investment, and the highly subjective nature of valuation allows companies like the studios to use creative strategies to offset other costs like Discovery’s acquisition of Warner Media

This thread isn’t touching on the biggest impact which is being able to write down or impair these assets that are taken off streaming or shows in production that are cancelled (for Warner’s an amount in excess of $3B) - the impaired asset value is then taken as a loss which reduces the company’s tax burden.

I’ve had my eye on this for a while, I’m a rigorous notebook and pen note taker but the ability to search through notes would be a huge benefit - do you find the integration with other services to work well? (I would want to export notes to a separate cloud storage platform like OneDrive)

You must mean Plainit fellow pancake earthier?

One of the few games that ever gave me legitimate motion sickness, still played it constantly and felt like puking every time. Just watching the trailer is making me sick, can’t wait to play it

Just finished Psychonauts 2 (haven’t played the first game) - it’s a solid 3D platformer with great art direction that trends on the easier side, though I appreciated having something that was somewhat relaxing to play for a change. I would highly recommend.

Tl;dr can I park my van in front of this Singaporean prison and for how long until I attract attention?

In the third decade of the 21st century all mankind held their collective breath as the first functional AI system was born, with the intelligence of a 9-year-old boy — its first words: “hello world. eat my shorts.”

I can’t imagine anyone who uses the internet thinking the current ad technology is effective, the web is broken because of ads

Oh ancient cryptobiosis worm, take away our pain, bring peace at long last, all hail to thee.
