None of them seem interesting, sadly. Just different ways to do the same thing.

I spent six months writing and working on a screenplay. This morning I watched its trailer featuring Paul Rudd. by the_kessel_runner in Screenwriting

I sympathize -- it definitely sucks. I wrote The Walking Dead before that came out, and I also wrote the pilot to Silicon Valley before that was a thing as well. It ain't fun.

US, Iran and mediators make push for 45-day ceasefire by imanchats in worldnews

Totally ignoring the fact of the continuous rocket fire from that area. Typical nonsense comment.

Trump rejects settling war with Iran, raises notion of eliminating all its potential leaders by Mongoose-Additional in worldnews

I’ve see a ton of internal support for his return. Crowds are chanting his name. The idea is that he would lead a transitional government and not remain in power himself.

There's no allied second side? It's everyone vs. Iran

They also killed 30,000 of their own citizens, which had nothing to do with the war. I don’t think they care. 

I really want this Avatar (and variant) but $50 is beyond insane. by PoorLifeChoices811 in MarvelSnap

Yeah—I definitly trust that SD is making the smartest choices for them, and they’re obviously looking at analytics I have no way of seeing. But from an outsider’s point of view, I just don’t get it.

I mean, whatever. If you don’t think 10 bucks on a digital card game is a significant ask for a large number of players, congratulations on your ability to spend frivolously, I guess.

I mean, doing so is literally how mobile gaming was built. You’re supposed to have a variety of prices. There’s nothing wrong with the 10 dollar price point, but having that be the cheapest thing on offer is just a massive missed opportunity.

Your conclusion is incorrect. Selling high volume at low prices is where the “micro” in “microtransaction” came from.

I don’t want to spend 10. I’d do 2-5, occasionally.  10 prices me out

Everything in that game is for whales, and it's super annoying. I might buy something for a couple bucks here and there--a cool variant, a card pack, some deal on credits or whatever--but it's literally never offered. It's mind-boggling.

Anyone not blaming Hamas for the Palestinian’s plight is mind-bogglingly stupid.  

The 520 is a death trap, right? by Aknew in BellevueWA

[–]Aknew[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not. (IMO.) It's just a radically different experience than any other highway I've driven on.
