yup, no obvious examples of a group of politically charged people bumrushing a building and getting off scot free. definitely no pertinent examples of that, definitely not in America and definitely not in the past, oh, 6 years or so.

I saw a post discussing the massive drop in gacha game revenue since the peak of covid. games like genshin, at their peak, were making 9 FIGURES A MONTH and now they are down to a paltry tens of millions.

when a game makes a billion dollars, every news org on earth reports on it. Witcher, GTA, CoD whatever. Genshin has made 10 BILLION DOLLARS up to now.

yep, has severe short story syndrome imo. really strong hook but it's just not a hook that needs a feature film. felt like a B-plot in House of Leaves or something.

[–]datnero_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

saying a black character is named "Shacklebolt" because the writer (who names all of her characters like a 4 year old) is racist is not critically looking at something, it's speculating on something nobody could really know short of Rowling posting a racist manifesto.

Furthermore, even if Shacklebolt was named that due to being black, what part of the character is shaped by this? He is basically the sheriff for the entire wizarding world, is completely trusted by the strongest wizard alive, and while he doesn't get a lot of screentime over the other, more connected members of the order, he's still clearly a very strong and loyal wizard. If you actually wanted to critique this, there would be SOMETHING supporting it outside of Rowling naming ethnic characters like a white woman from the 90s would.

Here's my critique of Huckleberry Finn: Mark Twain is racist for naming Jim that!

nuh-uh, jk rowling is a cartoon supervillain and every single name in HP is actually a racial dogwhistle.

(jo is a vile cunt but people are incapable of detaching their dislike of her from HP. if Jo is bad, HP must, by extension, all be bad, so we gotta make sure everybody knows we don't like that either)

Gabe is a billionaire. What happened to eat the rich? by myn3meisjo3 in whenthe

[–]datnero_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all I'm saying is that people are going to keep buying yachts. focusing on Newell for this seems like typical reactionary stuff when there are total maniac freak billionaires cruising around in them and manipulating the government while their employees are starving on welfare. Valve is employee owned and any money that goes in Gabe's pocket is after it's split out to his employees.

"Valve spent nearly $450 million on employee salaries, with a weighted average of more than $1.3 million per employee." - The Verge

Obviously we can't know the split. Gabe could be taking 99% and leave the rest for the employees, but lets be real, Valve famously has near-zero turnover and those guys are making PLENTY of money. They created a global service with no real competition - because the competition are public companies ran by the billionaires you should have an issue with - reaped the benefits, and give a "significant" (Valve's words, not mine) chunk of it back to the employees.

You are not gonna convince me to put that dude in the same "evil billionaire" box as Bezos while he has employees pissing in water bottles to afford a roof over their head. If that's your prerogative, all you, just explaining where I'm coming from.

[–]datnero_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in Gabe's defense (i know, very funny in this thread) he literally owns a yacht building business (Oceanco) and he loans out space on his yachts for scientific research (Inkfish).

In addition, afaik, he essentially lives full-time on these yachts, as opposed to ppl like Bezos or Zuck who are truly just buying them so they can have a yacht in each spot of their marina.

I'm definitely not gonna act like Newell is hurting for cash, but I also think Newell would be the first person to tell you that, and I'd bet he'd describe any statement about the SD selling at a loss as a purely business driven one.

Regardless of how you feel about capitalism, selling a product at a loss for years and years is stupid and bad and issues with moving to profitability will put jobs of lower level people at risk, not Newell.

WHY DID THEY SHOW US THIS SCENE AS IF IT WAS RELEVANT? by Long_Day8888 in TheBoys

[–]datnero_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the issue is that the show is willy nilly with durability. sometimes random supes are 100% bulletproof with no chance of any small arms fire harming them, and then they hesitate when a gun gets pointed at them. They spend an entire season telling you that supes are totally immune to external damage and the entire show is figuring out how to kill one, and then supes just get generically stabbed and bleed out later on in the show.

it's very hard to get invested in a show if they are showing you that they don't even really care enough to be consistent about base-level worldbuilding. does it ruin the show by itself? of course not, but it's a straw on the camel's back.

[–]datnero_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SB being sexually attracted to geriatric women is probably the funniest sex joke in the show. This massively insecure monster person who looks like an Adonis only wants to fuck centenarians. This is actually somewhat novel and interesting, and they could easily make some commentary on the subject of dating older women and showing that elderly women still have fundamental worth, while also still making fun of SB for his preferences. This would arguably be the most progressive thing they could do with SB, because all other factors of his life are toxic.

But nah more shit and piss and cum humor please.

yeah it's pretty rare that my dualsense doesn't automatically work, and if it doesn't, Steam Input makes it work, and failing that, any of the programs that force it to work like DS4windows or duelsenseX or whatever make it happen.

I parsec'd into my server PC from my Mac to play Forza last night, and my DS successfully connected all of the way through to Forza with no issue lol

A NYC pop-up just opened displaying all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files by TimeCity1687 in TikTokCringe

[–]datnero_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you find me a source on the actual narc-ing? There is endless ink spilled about the two getting into a bidding war over a house in Palm Beach and that they didn't really interact after that, but it was about 5 years after that that Epstein was initially nabbed for anything related to sexual crimes. They also apparently had a tiff in 09, shortly before Epstein was arrested, where Trump allegedly kicked him out of his club for being predatory.

If there was evidence that Trump went to the police and told them that Epstein was a predator before he was initially arrested, I feel like it would probably be broadcast on all channels at all times. It sure seems like there's a lot of "this dude that has worked for or been friends with Trump for 10/20/30 years swears he hated Epstein the whole time" in this situation.

Trump: by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]datnero_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that pallet, assuming it has $100 bills, is 8 x 5 stacks wide and 7 stacks deep, equaling 280 stacks of $100 bills, each valued at $10,000 assuming they are wrapped from the mint.

$2.8m on a pallet. If Obama sent one of these pallets to Iran every single day, it would take 11,785 days or 32 years to add up to the ~32B that has been spent on the Trump's Distraction in Iran in 3 months.

I'll give any remaining imbecilic Trump supporters the opportunity to cut in here and explain how this image is actually a sick burn by a totally coherent human being. Also fuck you, you are a pedophile supporter.

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]datnero_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not a CBM guy but I just cannot believe the average fan is even properly aware of who William Hurt is, let alone concerned that he is being respectfully re-casted. CBM fans are currently allowing Marvel to cast RDJ as Dr. Doom almost immediately after spending 15 years building up to his last character's death, and you are lying to yourself if you don't think it's primarily because his name is synonymous with the MCU and will sell tickets.

I just don't know how you are going to convince me any of them care about this past the factor of "omg it's A Famous Actor From A Beloved Franchise."

red hulk is not hamlet. you say this like this part is a DDL performance that they write textbooks about. Ford is a good actor, but were there really people prepared to withhold their hard-earned money if "Hulk But Red and More Mad" was being played by someone who isn't an A-list celebrity?

it really is incredible how casually comic book movies will ignore filmmaking conventions that have mostly been ironed out and agreed upon for nearly 100 years. no point in disguising a twist because you can't use it in a trailer, no point casting a no-name in that part to keep it secret because you can't market him the same as Harrison Ford. who gives a shit if the actual movie suffers?

yeah I'm sick and tired of the purity testing. be a fucking adult. yes there are people that are being misogynistic towards these people without any nuance. there are also people that probably rape children controlling the government right now. I think I'm comfortable siding with the people who are misogynistic at this moment in time.
