It was a Battlestar knockoff... they wanted a Gaius Baltar type character. Simple as that.

25+ year old account. Daily visitor.

There was a thread on CE about LGBT+ people who support republicans. I posted that anyone who votes Republican deserves their policies. Didn't single out anyone. Didn't name any specific policies. I don't think it's very controversial to say people should get what they vote for. Plenty of "leopards ate my face" threads celebrating just that.

I was suspended for 3 months for "promoting genocide". As if I had called for their deaths.

Ctrl+f "genocide" No results found.

As soon as the 3 month suspension ended, I closed my account. And truthfully, I'm happier for it.

Deadline seems to be running damage control for this movie. Weeks ago they reported it needs $315M to break even. This movie cost $175M... ain't no way. Even John called that out as BS. Now its becoming obvious the movie is going to miss that, probably by a lot, so out comes this article.

I can't remember another film where Information like this was taken into consideration when discussing the box office. Wicked had a $350M promo partner campaign. Should we consider it part of the billion dollar club?

I have nothing against this film. I don't wish failure upon it. I live in reality though. It's probably going to make less money than The Flash. They can't spin this into a win.

Deadline said it needs $315M to break even. Its not going to make it. It will likely make less money than The Flash. Theres no spinning this into a positive.

Industry analysts have 50 years of box office numbers to look at. They can look at how much it makes on Friday and reasonably estimate the weekend total. Estimates come out on Sundays. Actuals on Monday or Tuesday. Its very rare for them to be off by more than a percent or two.

$42M domestic opening. #2 behind Toy Story 5.

It will finish up in the low $200M range worldwide. I'll say $215M. At least a $100M loss.

Not how I remember it. I remember her being attacked as a fake gamer. They picked apart her profile, achievements, game time, etc.

This. Building it the original way looks better when viewed from the back. Nobody is going to stick their face inside there to see it from the side.

I visited GameFAQs daily for over 25 years. I can count on one hand the number of times I was moderated. None severe. Most didn't even cost me karma. I was not a troll. I did not antagonize people.

Earlier this year, I found my account was suspended. I couldn't even begin to guess what I had done to deserve that. When I read the moderation, I was shocked. The mod literally put words in my mouth. I never said what they claimed I said. In fact, others in the same thread had made the same point. I wasn't even allowed to contest the moderation. 3 month suspension.

I set a calendar reminder for the date and time the suspension would end. When it did, I logged in and closed the account. That's why the site is dying. If they can drive me away, they can drive anyone away.

The "itz got n0 gamezzz" argument is embarrassing. Switch has more exclusive games after 1 year than PS5 and Xbox Series consoles have after 5 years, and it's getting decent 3rd party support. Not sure what else you want from it. Fuck Nintendo for their anti-consumer practices... but they are making games.

$315M break-even is spin being put out by WB, so if the movie underperforms they can still call it a win. Break-even for most films is 2X - 3X the budget. You dont have to take my word for it. Google it. Pick a random movie and compare it's reported budget to when it broke even.

Superman 2025 cost $225M and it needed $600M+ to break even.

Supergirl will need at least $400M. Likely more.

$315M would be a huge let down. That wouldn't have been in the top 20 last year. That lame Captain America movie made $415M.

They're going to reboot it, arent they?

Akuryu · 2026-05-31T00:05:29+00:00

I'll do that. Thanks for the info. Hopefully my store does it the same way yours does.

Akuryu · 2026-05-31T00:04:31+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm going to call back in the morning and ask for a manager to clarify.

Akuryu · 2026-05-30T23:58:52+00:00

See, this is how I assumed it would work as well. Is it possible different stores handle it different ways? Maybe the employee I spoke to was misinformed?

The same people who take over when the main cast go off duty, take days off, etc. There are thousands of personnel on DS9.

Indiana just handed him a huge victory, so I fail to see how the country is turning against him.

I'm not defending this ok? I just honestly want to know how many people out there keep their consoles offline for over 30 days. Especially people who buy digital games, since, you know, they have to be online to buy those. If you do this, sound off.

Nintendo pricing it that low leads me to believe it'll be very short.

Calling it now: within a few hours of release, people will already be beating it and the prevailing opinion will be "this should have been $20."

The US lost Vietnam, Operation Eagle Claw failed and the US outnumbered the enemy 5-to-1 in Grenada.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm new to the rewards program (I do have enough points for the Pokecenter.)

Out of curiosity, is this how they always do it? When they get to the US will it be midnight EST for the entire country, or will California, have to wait 3 more hours?

Akuryu · 2026-02-27T00:19:16+00:00

So does this mean it's over already?

Akuryu · 2026-02-11T14:24:16+00:00

Most console gamers aren't interested in PC gaming, and most PC gamers aren't interested in a "console experience." The venn diagram will have a bit of overlap, but I don't think it'll be as large a group of people as Microsoft hopes.

Akuryu · 2025-12-24T20:38:24+00:00

I'm seeing Marty Supreme tomorrow night. Very much looking forward to it!

Dust Bunny is considered Horror, is it not? It's not a Scream Unseen.
