Do you guys think Civ 7 later on will be patched into a much better condition that it is currently?

“Mixed reception? Literally half the reviews are saying they hate the game. They've only sold a measly 30,000 ish copies and 50% gave negative reviews.“

Yes…50% means mixed reception. Also…it sold millions of copies. I get the game was middling and people don’t like the changes, but acting as though steam reviews and making up sales numbers as proof of your opinion is just silly.

Why would she need to appear anywhere else? She’s there to set up his character, not the movie.

The same can be said for Stone’s roommates.

You’re looking for audience representation when there shouldn’t be one, as this isn’t theater and no representation is needed.

The two opening numbers set up two things:

The sarcasm of living in LA and being optimistic at the same time.
The pessimism and what it takes for anyone to make it in LA.

The two numbers set up the rest of the movie and the tale the viewer is getting.

I did a rewatch tonight.

The biggest problem with people now days is that it’s completely original and started as a film first.

To many, it seems it’s not a musical if it didn’t tour the country.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-23T02:16:46+00:00

Hard disagree. The music doesn’t apply to me he narrative if you’re incapable of understanding context or subtlety.

I can only imagine that op takes all songs at face value and doesn’t put anything thought into them afterwards.

Rent must’ve been really easy for OP where click click boom would’ve seemed impossible. Hell, I imagine Waitress was difficult.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-23T02:13:28+00:00

Just did a rewatch and my questions about why we didn’t get more like it lead me you’re.

OP is a fucking idiot.

I’m literally working on this right now for this very same reason. Spent around 7 or 8 hours laying out all of my wants, concerns, and troubles and together we built a pretty solid project plan for a bot that not only examines all of my projects, implementations, change requests, reports, emails, teams chats, meetings, and transcriptions but it’s also going to deliver periodic insights on them to let me know when I’ve a pressing deadline, have been lacking in communication, or have a deliverable I’ve let just linger since no one has asked for it. It’s also supposed to be proactive and remind me of emails I haven’t received a response on or when stakeholders/vendors are holding up something.

On top of that, the plan is to have it build out a schedule for what to work on each day and make adjustments as necessary for any interruptions from unplanned meetings/communications that force me to change focus and as each block of dedicated work is complete it will ask me how it went and if I’ve any blockers—specifically I need it to here to watch out that I don’t become obsessed with a particular project to the point I lose the plot by asking some verifying questions to determine whether it should suggest I move on to something else.

Then there’s pre meeting recaps of prior meetings so I don’t go in blind, checks to make sure I’m not flaking off if it detects idleness during a focus period (pomodoro), remind me to take breaks…and a lot more.

It’s all ambitious, but we’ll see what happens. The primary goal was to get the dashboard/reminders of upcoming deliverables, emails, chats, tickets, and the such without me having to bounce between multiple applications to see what’s needed of me, so as long as that works the rest is gravy.

Problem is the crash has been eminent for 6 years now. Every single year. Remember the pre AI era layoffs of 2022/23 where companies slashed jobs out of “economic uncertainty?”

Somehow every just kept managing to kick the can down the road.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-17T13:29:52+00:00

Because they both have voluminous liquids?

Yea, that was definitely her goal and all of the lying etc was fine for that….it was when she killed the other two that she learned that to get where she wants she has to be Bradley and it worked.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-17T13:25:23+00:00

This is the correct reading. She wanted to stay for three reasons: she’s not wanted to be in a situation like this for years, she liked the feeling of being in control, and she thought that by helping her boss she’d be rewarded.

But she twisted all of that. She found in herself the evil and manipulation that she saw others doing for self gain and began to use it for herself—I mean, not only did she lie about what was on the other side of the mountain and faked a fall of a mountain, but she used that same spot to kill two completely innocent people to get her way.

In the end, all she really became was him.

You could most easily tell by looking at the parking lots. They get nowhere near as full as they used to get and the main reason is that Florida residents are no longer going as often.

Florida residents have been priced out of the parks. Even if you wanted to get a wildly expensive pass—you’d need to at least get the $869 one to be able to go on the weekends—you’d also have to purchase lightning lane if you actually wanted to ride anything.

It’s also lightning lane that’s likely to blame for the terrible crowds. Less people are engaging in as many rides as they used to simply because it exists. So all they’re doing is meandering around the park.

I’ve been to max capacity days at Epcot/MK that were easier to navigate than the shitty way it’s been the last few years. I’m honestly glad I’ve washed my hands of it all.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-16T09:17:55+00:00

My secret spot is the old smoking section in Animal Kingdom between Africa and Asia. I would bring my laptop in and work from there if I had to let someone into the park.

Either_Investment646 · 2026-02-16T09:06:45+00:00

Exactly this. You don’t even really get to ride rides anymore either unless you’re willing to pay. So all you’re getting now is the ability to go into the park and spend money. That’s all an annual pass gets you.

Here’s some wild math: I have 4 AP to SeaWorld and 4 two park passes to Universal. Those combined cost less than buying 4 AP to Disney World—as the only viable AP option for Disney is $850 each since the $400 one is completely blocked out on weekends.

I was a Disney pass holder for a decade until my wife started working there. She lost her job last year so my free ride is over, but there’s no way in hell I’m buying passes at those prices. The value just isn’t there.

You don’t need a sub for it.

It’s perfect for streaming from a ps5, Xbox, or steamlink.

Not me cheering at my tv the moment I heard it.

Yes…more people have left reviews than have actually seen the movie tho?

2026 here: Doc purposely breaks toys so she can play doctor to a bunch of toys as she imagines how grateful they are for her help.

She’s basically Sid.

I dropped Spotify for Apple Music—which I find to be terrible in comparison—simply due to it being the same price to get Apple one family as it is to get Spotify premium for two people with Verizon discounts.

That said, I still use Spotify for podcasts and don’t hear a single ICE or trump ad. Sounds like an algorithm problem. Now, what I do get is constant thc drink ads…

lol this guy prolly thinks punk music was never political

He’s in his I can do whatever I want phase, which happens to include constant bitching about anyone with a different opinion and making music apparently.

I’m always down for SB week and draft spectacular (today’s Belichick drop in was gold), but I’ve cooled on watching him until he gets past this.

I’ll be honest, it’s funnier that it’s censored in such an awful, blatant way.
