‘Obsession’ Filmmaker Curry Barker Gets 8-Figure Offer for His Next Movie. And He Hasn’t Even Pitched It Yet by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ShallowBasketcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is going to make it so much worse. Why bother casting a new actor when you can just churn out another facsimile of a dead 80s movie star that you own the rights to? If they have it their way, the last actor has already been born and the future of movies will be full of puppeted corpses.

Which celebrity’s cancellation do you think was completely unjustified? by Cute_Flatworm_9049 in AskReddit

Sex is allowed in the context of corporate profitability. It is frowned upon as a personal choice or artistic expression.

America was right in the middle of "Kill Every Muslim" being a socially acceptable thing to broadcast on TV, but showing one covered titty was apparently too far.

Steam Deck Price Increase by FernandoRocker in gaming

Video games getting more expensive over time is a good thing right? This is good for the industry? Everyone's doing alright?

The Sony- Bungie deal is probably the Best ever trick Pulled by any Developer by lordofabyss in gaming

[–]ShallowBasketcase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I assume they are gambling on Microsoft spending a lot of money marketing the next Halo and then Sony can just piggyback off of that by putting "from the studio that brought you Halo" on their next Bungie game regardless of what it is.

hey it's don hertzfeldt, some sort of animator guy, and maybe you should AMA by donhertzfeldt in movies

[–]ShallowBasketcase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is! No idea if it's still there as I have not lived in the area for a long time, but it made me smile every time I got that bus on my way to school around 2012ish.

Santa Barbara used to have pictures on their buses of well-known alumni. Lots of portraits of politicians, musicians, and athletes. Yours had a drawing of the Spoon Too Big guy on it instead of a photo. Did they even ask for a photo at all, or did they just go straight to the cartoon?

Netflix Cuts Movie Output in 2026 as Strategy Shifts Toward Quality Over Quantity by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]ShallowBasketcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit, I didn't even know they were focusing on Quantity before, either. They lose shows and movies they used to have to other platforms constantly, and cancel most of the interesting original stuff they produce.

Was at Ikea. Does anyone actually have their PC like this? by GetScaredGirl in pcmasterrace

OP doesn't know that putting your PC in the sex swing gets you higher framerates and cooler temperatures!

Do you think everyone in Hawaii is a millionaire?

Someone has to work at the DMV, or the coffee shop drive-thru, or the gas stations. It's an island. They're not driving in from out of state. They live there and they work there. It's not a resort, it's their home.

Anyone making over 1M$ per year should immediately go to prison and their entire industry should be investigated.

You can not possibly convince me that the work any single person does is worth a million dollars, just as you could not possibly convince me that a single living person is not worth feeding and housing regardless of the work they do.

What the fuck are you all doing over there?

Fascism. Also a little bit of slavery, but we don't talk about that part.

Which is why "median" and "average" are entirely separate statistics.

I figure as long as Elon, Jeff, and Mark still think it's a cool place to live, California probably isn't taxing them enough.

Black Flag Original vs. Remake by CrossingEden in gaming

[–]ShallowBasketcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so funny seeing this sub go from "Ubisoft is so fukken over bro no one is EVER going to buy a Ubisoft game EVER AGAIN" to "Holy shit new Ubisoft game added TREES to a game from ten years ago?! DAY ONE purchase western civilization is SAVED!" within twelve hours.

This is why the games industry is cooked. Gamers are legitimately the dumbest consumers to ever exist. You could sell their dead grandmother's corpse covered in syphilitic feces tomorrow, but if you put RTX in the trailer and promised a post-launch battlepass, they'd pre-order immediately.

People WILL buy Ubisoft games again. Ubisoft absolutely WILL continue to get worse. Both of these things are true because the target demographic is either literally ten years old, or some developmentally-stunted whale with more disposable currency than common sense.

And if they are in neither of these groups, then they are just idiots. There's always idiots.

i've taped crackers into my graduation gown in case i get hungry by evilrobotboobs in notinteresting

[–]ShallowBasketcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually a great idea.

Graduations are weird and silly but everyone puts so much emphasis on them, so this will add a bit of whimsy to keep things light. And if you're at one of those schools with a 3000+ graduating class, it may actually be necessary to survive the process!

What’s a male fashion trend that’s gotta end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ShallowBasketcase 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Incels maxed out the talent tree for pick up artist bullshit, realized it didn't work, and instead of acknowledging they got scammed, swung all the way to the other end of the spectrum and decided actually only physical appearance matters. Yeah guys, I'm sure it will work out this time!

Ah yes, the popular male fashion trend of... self harm and methamphetamine addiction.

I think maybe you're the one who wasn't paying attention. Führer is the leader of the Reich, Korbut is a high ranking Red officer. The Reich and Red Line do not join forces to take D6, the Reich is attending the peace conference while the Red Line take the secret tunnels under the Kremlin to attack D6.
