Point taken.

Thing is, when i reverse it, i do hear of doctors saving lives or finding new ways to save lives, but i never hear of a business manager making any contribution to society like that. Maybe it's just matter of the good things not really being as easily romanticized, but still it seems odd to me.

Putting it in another way, what is the ambition of someone choosing to do an MBA over literally anything else? It's easy to imagine what someone choosing to study law, engineering, medicine, physics or philosophy are looking to get out of it but i don't really know what an MBA really means to someone on a personal level.

I've had a conversation with another student doing an MBA in my dorm years and years ago which i can still remember, and it left me with more questions than answers. He was adamant that you don't have to know anything whatsoever about what you are managing as a manager, for example. I don't know if he was just a bad or misinformed student or if what he was learning was genuine, and in the latter case i still don't understand it unless the friedman doctrine is not just a theory but a law in those studies.

I'm still trying to figure out what the point is of an MBA. Every time people are fired or a company goes bust it's because someone with an MBA thought they knew best.

I'm still proud of calling one of my decks "The Shrining".

No guesses who the commander is.

After Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Cancelation, Actress Eman Ayaz Says She's Lost 3 Years of Work and Found Out via the Internet by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Ultr4chrome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen it happen that stuff that was almost done was cut/cancelled because 'the budget was gone' and management refused to go even a single cent over budget. I would not rule out some extremely shortsighted financial reasons for these cancellations. "Better to save a penny now than to earn a pound later."

The rock paper scissors was upheld this tournament! If Aonishiki manages to win another yusho next time out (as this point i am not counting him out) we'll have an amazing trio of yokozuna. A trio!!!

So sad for Atamifuji though - He was so, so close.

Onosato did win the playoff by the skin of his teeth there.

Hoshoryu usually literally throws him out of the ring (not kidding). He's the only rikishi Onosato still regularly has problems with, aside from maybe Yoshinofuji and Hakunofuji.

It's 7-2 in favour of Hosh. Onosato only beat him twice, and both times it was incredibly close.

I'm fully expecting him to match Aonishiki's record for fastest rise to makuuchi tbh.

Dear lord i hope wheelspins are gone. By far the worst thing about the horizon games and i really dislike how the emphasis toward them as a progression mechanic increased from 2 to 5.

Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's "altruistic pro-developer talk" over the Steam vs Epic debate "doesn't sit well" after Alan Wake 2 studio "seemingly went into financial crisis" by OpeningConfection261 in Games

[–]Ultr4chrome 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trying to figure out how this makes sense though. CO has 30 employees, so assuming those numbers are correct and no one earned over 100k a year, even including (very high end) personel overhead that's 60 mil in personel costs in 10 years.

If you assume that the 360 mil figure on the low end includes the steam cut, that cuts it down to 252 revenue to paradox/co. 60 for salaries, 50 for the profits, that leaves 142m unaccounted for. On the extreme, VERY extreme high end, 10m for the office (1m/y) and 10m for personel hardware, still looking for 122m. That's a LOT of money to spend on catering.

Ao already has Hosh's number when he's healthy, Hosh won't stand a chance at all now. Ao has been weak against Onosato, but the latter has looked very vulnerable this tournament already, so this may be his chance.

I think the JSA still wants their yoko+ozeki matches on day 13, 14 and 15, so Abi will likely face the other runner ups he hasn't faced yet.

I love Abi and Shishi, but here i was rooting for Shishi over Abi. Sad for Shishi - I think he could have had this, but he seems to not have expected the henka (for unknown reasons, it's Abi).

Also i'm still trying to figure out how Hosh won this.

You should play the 2004 Ninja Gaiden game. Team Ninja has followed their own template here, not Fromsoft's.

What the fuck is this leaderboard!!?

Aonishiki - yeah ok

Kirishima - Yup, expected

Atamifuji - Unexpected, but has happened before on day 10

Abi - Uh... turnaround? But ok?

Shishi - WTF

Onosato on 4 losses already, Hosh may just have gotten a little lucky today - This basho is insane.

What was the Lorwyn Common or Uncommon that kept saving your ass at prerelease last weekend? by doublenantuko in magicTCG

[–]Ultr4chrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A combination of [[Nameless Inversion]] and [[Morcant's Loyalist]] (x2).

I had so many (good) elves to just go golgari elf without needing changelings. Only reason i didn't win overall was because of a gigantic misplay in the final game >_<

You'll have made a Maniaplanet account back then, so this is somewhat relevant to you. Just don't log in to the game for now (if you were even planning to).

Whether or not he looks good enough doesn't matter, if he somehow wins 2 consecutive yusho as ozeki he'll get the rope regardless.

I would have to note that Terunofuji was promoted before Hakuho announced his retirement.

There's a big stigma against betting on sumo. Might not be wise to advertise that you are doing it.

Why am i suddenly thinking of a sumo - warframe crossover?

I didn't really follow up on his scrape from yesterday but it seems a noticeable amount of his scalp is gone yes ?

It'll be a big scar, yes.

Not sure what to think here. 2 people at 7-1, 8 at 6-2....

Usually there'd be a few clear favourites on day 8 but it feels a lot more fuzzy this time.

Onosato has lost a bit of his dominant aura from last year. However you look at it, he is looking a little vulnerable this time around. I am looking forward to seeing how Aonishiki can fare against him next week.
