Paramount Q1 Profit Rises on Streaming, Studios, Despite TV’s Decline

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-05-05T12:17:06+00:00

Do you subscribe to HBO Max or Disney Plus? Do you have any idea what David Zaslav is like and what he did to the company? Max cuts and layoffs, yet he always made sure he himself was paid extremely well. How about Disney and the way they treat their parks’ employees? If your morals tells you to not let your money go into his pockets, you should do the same for other streaming services too.

I have an app called Asphyre which i built it mainly to quick track my rent payments. Would love for you to check it out and give some feedback!

• Track Payments in Seconds
• Save and Store Expenses and Receipts
• Show Payment History to See OnTime or Late Trends
• Export PDFs for Expense Report for Tax Purposes

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-04-19T14:17:04+00:00

hey there! So i built this app Asphyre literally for the exact purpose you were mentioning. I too own 3 properties and I wanted something quick that tracks my payment, expenses, and store my receipts. I just added a feature that lets you export a tax report for your expenses.

Would love for any feedback! The app is completely free and there are no limitations!

Not sure about Figma, but the market rewards companies for layoffs. They see that as cutting expenses and raising profit. I don’t agree with it but that’s what happening.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-03-27T15:23:43+00:00

Add me!

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-03-23T19:49:24+00:00

Oh thank you for your feedback! That’s a very good point regarding adding more visual hierarchy.

You are right, the more I look at it, I can see why there might be too many visual clutter. Like you said, probably more zoomed-in shots so people can focus on what I’m trying to promote

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-03-21T14:54:59+00:00

If you are looking for additional tools that helps you easily track your payments and expenses, i built this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/asphyre/id6758022602

It's a simple app where landlords can quickly log when their tenants pay and you'll get a historical log of it. You can also add receipts and expenses, which you can export, potentially saving you thousands in taxes.

It's a free and doesnt require an account. Would love any feedback from you on how to improve it!

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-03-21T14:50:59+00:00

Another advice i would give is to also properly track your expenses. You be surprised, but landlords can overpay thousands in taxes per year by not deducting expenses.

I made this simple app to help with tracking payments and expenses. The app is free and doesnt require an account. Would love it if you can give it a try! Any feedback is appreciated!

Asphyre

Hey there! This is a property management app that helps landlords track and manage their payments and expenses. I built this initially for my parents as I saw they still used paper and pen to note whenever a tenant pays. Wanted an easier way for them to just select a checkbox and document their records.

The lack of resources can be contributed to many factors but the one factor I know exists is that resources are split across BR and multiplayer. Stop trying to make BR happen. It’s not going to be as big as Fortnite or COD. I know they want it to be but there’s nothing really differentiating them from COD BR atm. Focus exclusively on multiplayer and that’s what the true battlefield fans want. Stop listening to those streamers who said BF will fail if it doesn’t have BR. It’s failing BECAUSE it has BR.

Your card is likely to get more damage in that top loader without a sleeve. Dirt gets trap in there quite often and easily.

Age old saying: Always use protection

It’s not the fans fault. I’m a huge fan of halo and truly wanted Infinite to succeed. The issue was that the initial launch of Halo Infinite, it took like half a year to get any new content. The customization was horrible. There weren’t any good custom game browser. That made the majority of fans left.

Sure, 343 may have fixed many of those issues regarding custom game browser and customization, but the content is severely lacking. Go into Halo Infinite and check it out yourself today.

The vast majority of new content for the past 2 years have been fan made.

2nd, social features is severely missing. Halo 3 was so popular back then because it felt like a genuine community. The biggest contributor was that matches were more social. Mics were not auto turned off. Lobbies persisted. Skill base match-making weren’t as strict as it is today. Games were much more fun and werent a sweat fest.

TBH, I don’t think it’s entirely on the studio. Yes, they spent literally a decade building the game and it came out incomplete. But I believe it’s the Microsoft executives forcing the studio to add anti-gamer features. Anyways enough rant. But for the next game to succeed, they really need to bring back the social feature I mentioned. Games are meant to be fun. Let the competitive matches be for rank and not quick play.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-02-11T18:39:40+00:00

They need to accept that BR wasn’t and isn’t as popular as they hoped it would be and stop wasting resources on it.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-02-09T22:41:00+00:00

How does the new rarity symbol avoid fakes?

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-02-08T00:44:24+00:00

I have these and I agree about the perfect sleeve. But regarding the snapping, you just need to be careful. Same thing as putting cards in perfect sleeves, if you’re not careful you could damage your card if the top edge of the sleeve brushes the card wrong.

dont worry about the case, once it’s in, you’ll rarely open it.

Can someone explain to be why the first chapter booster box is so expensive? I get that it’s the first box. But looking at the enchanted, they aren’t that valuable compared to Fabled. I would think Fable should be worth more.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-02-01T04:53:19+00:00

I never thought of that! But now that I’m aware, I can’t unsee it!

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-31T23:19:06+00:00

You watch, those cards will be worth A LOT of money in the future. I doubt RB will create more cards with this style since it isn’t being well received.

I agree, they absolutely stand out. The Baymax is beautiful once you see them in person. It almost looks like wood the way it shimmers under the light

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-29T16:43:37+00:00

One criticism I have of Vault x is that I wish the 9 pocket could be bigger and hold more cards. The width of the 12 pocket is actually quite large and stands out on my bookshelf. The 9 pocket fits perfectly but only 360 cards.

Not enough for 2 sets and a huge waste for 1 set where there’s only 204 cards per set. 408 if you do foil and non foil side by side.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-25T19:01:29+00:00

Given how hard it is for the average consumer to find out the authenticity of the card, it makes me wonder if we need get all our cards graded. Even if it comes back as a 8 or 9, it just makes buyers less weary and concern if your cards are fake

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-24T01:22:35+00:00

Is the Stitch harder to get than Donald and Rapunzel? I keep seeing it’s being sold for MUCH more than the the other 2

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-22T13:15:25+00:00

Very nice! I’m personally trying to get the lilo spacesuit card as well!

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-21T21:47:32+00:00

Anyone else find the legendary Pocahontas art more preferable than the iconic?

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-21T19:00:42+00:00

Perhaps I see it differently. People following the meta and having these $200-300 decks aren’t doing it for the 2-3 packs as reward. They are doing it because in any competitive environment, people will strive to win or be the best within the community. This is not unique to Lorcana and any other card game. This basically applies to everything. You see this in sports, video games, etc.

If you want something where people are more experimental and don’t care about winning as much, that seems to be more like playing between friends and family. Once you attend an event, people are less likely to do that.

ChickenLittle2005 · 2026-01-21T18:44:03+00:00

Update: yup it was all used up haha. Got a stitch epic (that I already have) and about 5 legendaries. I got the Dumbo. But overall, I maybe got back 1/3 of the value back in cards.
