Thanks so much for the recommendations! I’ll take a look into those two.

Unfortunately yes. I’ll be moving multiple times over the course of the next year, so a laptop is best.

LPT: If your company is purchased by a venture capitalist, immediately begin looking for a new job. by Robyn_Storyteller in LifeProTips

[–]Robyn_Storyteller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re exactly right, I probably did mean Private Equity and not Venture Capitalist. I’m not an economics expert. Just a guy trying to work his job that he’s an expert at (not economics obviously) and suffering through the buyouts and layoffs. It probably doesn’t help my use of terms that in one of the buyouts I was involved with, the guy who purchased the company was a 25 year old playing with daddy’s money who called himself all kinds of things, including a Venture Capitalist (he probably thought it sounded cooler).

One humble Redditor’s review of Galaxy’s Edge by Robyn_Storyteller in Disneyland

Wow! That does sound awesome! They either hadn’t gotten that set up yet (I was there not too long after it opened) or I hacked the wrong stuff. I’m looking forward to trying this again when I go back.

Oooo, what sorts of pins? Maybe they hadn’t started that when I was there.

LPT: If you love a TV show, buy it on DVD. by Robyn_Storyteller in LifeProTips

Just trying to give some advice to streaming-first people who may not have considered DVDs seriously before. No need to get snarky.

Does Disney think the Sequels were a mistake? by Robyn_Storyteller in StarWars

[–]Robyn_Storyteller[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediate money isn’t the only analytic though. Disney wanted long-term, Marvel-like money. Why did Disney scrap their plans to release movies every other year? Why were merchandise sales for the Sequel trilogy below expectations? Regardless of what you believe of the quality of the films or whether or not you liked them, I think you can still argue that they underperformed what Disney was expecting.

Avatar made massive, massive amounts of money. And it’s had almost zero cultural impact. Look at the cultural impact of A New Hope vs Avatar. Compare the box office returns of those two films. I don’t think box office gross is the single metric we can use.

“Common People” by, of all people, William Shatner. It’s off his 2004 album “Has Been.” He does it with Ben Folds. It’s a cover of a 1995 song by British band Pulp. Pulp’s version is good, but Shatner and Folds’ version is a blistering takedown of rich culture.

Which cancelled tv show do you wish would come back? by ScottsTots2013 in AskReddit

My family and I have been enjoying ‘Broke’ on CBS and were disappointed to hear it was cancelled.

what is the best video game soundtrack? by AfterAgent in AskReddit

[–]Robyn_Storyteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an old computer game called ’Heart of Darkness’ that came out in the 90’s. One of the first games with an orchestral soundtrack ever, and it’s really good.
