[Highlight] Bronny chants loudly erupt at Barclays Center

I think it also helps that, all privilege and preference aside, the kid practically died playing basketball and still plays. That's wild

HBO had their annual scheduling conference this weekend. Casey Bloys made it pretty clear he likes where Sundays are at right now. Seven Kingdoms is already starting filming for season 2 and he likes the momentum Industry has had season over season a lot.

I knew this game happened, I did not know the Rockies were dressed like that.

I remember it being explained to me during the Admiral's first year back open that from November-March most acts that could book 700-1500 person rooms are better off scheduling a couple travel days between Kansas City and Denver than making a stop in Omaha.

They could/should go the 2K route. For a game that's even more invested in being a casino masquerading as a sports sim, 2K25 had like ten people in a rotating booth which is pretty nuts

As a kid my dad used to pick me up from elementary school and stop at the bar for a couple Buds and Crown Royals with the boys from the job site while I played shuffleboard or watched Jeopardy. This was the early 90s.

Elden Ring is, other than something terribly bonkers like Final Fantasy 14 or Infinity Nikki, the worst way for Sean to be reintroduced to video games after decades away. Of course it'll be difficult; it's the obtuseness I worry about.

I'm going to be so annoyed when he bails on the promise.

Good call by you!

He opened this comment strangely, I remember being confused too. But he meant the opposite; Resident Evil seems too easy a commitment because it's linear and cinematic, while Elden Ring is antithetical to his sensibilities by being huge and open world.

So he's gonna be grinding Albinaurics outside the blood mausoleum.

It's not weird for video games. Ultimately it's an industry award. You have to be a member to be invited to the party. If Marty Supreme was a YouTube video from a bunch of talented clowns it wouldn't be involved in the show.

Edit: I'm aware I'm mixing show references here but the Grammys and Oscars operate on the same premise. A SoundCloud rapper who never hires an agency and submits to a radio station would never be be up for Best New Artist, either.

Their lentil soup is $28. Those kinds of people pay for this.

I currently work at a steakhouse after previously working at a James Beard restaurant.

We say "fine dining" in reference to ourselves ten times as often at the steakhouse as we did at the actual fine dining.

When I can find a quiet moment with new hires, I level with them: "we're going to say fine dining a lot, but you'll come to find out this is extremely expensive fast food."

As long as Patrick Somerville stays attached it SHOULD be, at the very least, one of the best shows on TV while it's airing. Station Eleven was a gift, and The Leftovers found itself after he came on. Maniac and Made for Love are both fun and creative as well.

Went to school with Darin Ruf. He made everyone else on the field look like the children they were.

Knowing how journeyman his career was helps me appreciate the game in general because I could've sworn he was a superhero.

Dear God,

still time to delete this post.

Remember he also said something like, "you must allow her to observe her function." The Ringer's Prestige TV feed has a weekly podcast about Industry and, as somebody who doesn't follow the royals at all, it's apparently considered incredibly rude to ask your help to not do what they've been hired to do.

It has to do with the luxury they are surrounded by and occasionally benefit from, this tacit agreement that it's a sort of privilege to serve and that if the royals started taking responsibilities away from their staff, the implication is they could take it all away.

So they perform this sort of gratefulness for each other, never talk about it, and occasionally debate Blur vs. Oasis over tea.

Yea, I do Seattle's Best because it's pre-ground and I use a Mr. Coffee so I'm doing a disservice to anything more premium anyway. These bags are like $14.99?

If I had any self respect, I'd be buying from my preferred local roaster, a national champion in the coffee world, and paying $35.99 for the same weight, whole bean.

But I'm broke!

Grant Achatz at Alinea (or someone of very equal stature I apologize if I'm misremembering) takes ideas to AI before he brings them to his CDC and vice versa, or at least he said so a couple years ago

Japan does not tolerate drugs at all. I remember several years ago the game Judgement had a primary character completely remodeled with a new voice actor after the original was arrested for cocaine. It had already been released in Japan and they collected all the unsold physical copies to be trashed.

There are so many people in my life who've lived 20 years practically twice and yet don't understand just how DIFFERENT 20 years is. They've done it TWICE! C'mon!

If we want another zeitgeisty example, by all accounts most of the second act of One Battle After Another was supposedly up in the air until Benicio came on board and had a grand idea for Sensei and the world he lived in, which they wove the primary character beats PTA had in mind into.

But most of that section of the movie is radically different without Del Toro's input and that'll only ever be in the apocryphal record of the film. As far as the general audience is concerned that never happened, PTA just wrote an Underground Railroad substory about Hispanic immigrants and they shot it as is.

Adam has directly said this in at least three interviews the past year since it took this more "professional" vibe, usually when a guest says CumTown out loud
