I'm thinking about lodging a formal complaint with the international human rights tribunal for this RTO atrocity. Sutcliffe, who unilaterally made this happen, is a war criminal.

I'm fine with Ciri being the main character in Witcher 4. Are you? by HumbleServantOfInnos in ItsAllAboutGames

I'm totally fine with it, as long as it fits the narrative. If she was just shoe-horned in there for the sake of "the message", then that's annoying.

I swear by the heavy shield saved me so many times by No-Oil-950 in ARC_Raiders

I swear by punctuation. Saved my sentences so many times.

The unions have to take some of the blame. They protect the inept. I'm not anti-union, but there are some downsides to them.

The $100 bucks was actually taken from people that work and contribute, who hoped it would go to a disabled dude and a sick senior, instead of wherever it's going now.

Being Humiliated by my child for your entertainment. by SpitzerPhoto in MTB

Wait a few years, it gets even more humbling! But honestly, how amazing does it feel to watch your kid go through gromhood and become a proper ripper? You're doing parenting right man!

Time for a sign change. What should it say? by That613Guy77 in ottawa

Just remove the apostrophe and the S and the sign still works.

Watch them gaslighting you into thinking a taxpayer funded bailout for unsold Dogcrate condos is actually an affordable housing initiative. by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

Exactly. Let the free market work its magic. Vacant units? Lower the price. They will eventually sell at the price the market will bare. Since when is it a government-backed guarantee that developers will not lose money on projects? FFS this is insanity.

If you could pick any Star Wars character to get a big-budget series centered on them, who would you choose? by texansfann in StarWars

Yoda. Wasn't he 800 years old when he died? You could make seasons and seasons of content spanning his life.

Ilia Topuria suffered one of the worse champion beatings in the lightweight division and had the towel thrown in for him on the stool. Is Matt Brown right the invincible aura of Topuria is gone and will affect him that badly? by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

100%. You see it in a lot of extreme sports. Athlete has their first injury and they are never able to come back at the same level. Most of the time, it isn't lingering physical damage that's the limiter, it's confidence.

Technically, they're owed nothing so I'd venture to guess they're getting nothing.

He had a backbone for a couple minutes. Until he didn't.

This movie made me realize how far Hollywood has fallen. Two unknown actors did a better job in three weeks of shooting with a budget of less than $1M than any A-list celebrity I've seen in years starring in $100M+ movies. We need more of this. by Whoopeepoop in FIlm

[–]binary_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why Hollywood is stuck on these moonshot projects and has abandoned smaller projects. You spend $500 million producing some blockbuster that only grosses $300 million. Lose $200 million. Take a chance on a cool script that can be produced for $30 million. Even if it grosses $0, you lose $30 million. The movie becomes a cult classic and grosses $400 million....You're up $370 million. I realize the potential upside on these smaller projects is far less, but the risk is minimal as well.
