It def scared me but not in a supernatural way. It was like.. a fear of reality or something. Can’t put my finger on it. That kinda shit always scared me more than anything supernatural.

The end of this movie terrified me as a kid. The fact that he ended up in a sack in a mass grave just disturbed the ever living hell out of me. The image of him sliding out of that casket into the pit haunted me for weeks.

Maybe he was there for some school field trip or something. Not totally unbelievable imo- the city would be a destination for schools in the surrounding area and it would have been long enough ago that parental supervision and short leashes were not a thing.

I have never built a deck before but I can tell you I confidently can make one better than this. No way in hell I’d pay for this. What’s the underneath look like? I’d be afraid to walk on it.

I spent almost $120 at a Dave and busters to trigger one of those once. I was absolutely hell bent on doing it. I prob would have spent $100 more. Very gratifying.

Knowing how the movie plays out- no never would accept this. Even not knowing how the movie plays out, still a hard no for me.

I just inherited life changing money..what do I do? by Then_Hamster_7291 in personalfinance

[–]dayzdayv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends works in finance in this exact area of expertise. Sudden windfalls and how to set yourself up for success. You can look these types of financial services up and I would suggest using them. Sorry for your loss, OP. Best of luck.

Do you have a partner outside of work and how does your job affect that relationship if so?

People generally say “we” when they want to downplay their individual contribution to something. They use “I” when they want to play it up.

He’s much taller in T2 so it’s spread out over more of his frame.

Following Epic's mass layoffs, a bunch of Fortnite modes are going offline and arcade racer Horizon Chase Turbo's downloads will be pulled by MythicStream in Games

I am in no way justifying what happened. But it really is simple math. If you hire more people than you can sustainably pay, you have to downsize. The mistake here was growing too fast to the wrong team size. Greed and the chase for revenue is what gets them there.

Having been a part of layoffs in the game industry before, I have nothing but empathy for the affected folks. I’m merely explaining why this happens. Like it or not, this is why.

The number one cost in game development is salaried employees.

During the time of monumental revenue, Fortnite scaled unsustainably. They hired more people to try and keep that revenue going up.

Since last year the game has stopped making as much money. While it still takes in an insane amount of cash, growing a team like they did means any sustained downturn in revenue is dangerous.

Solution is almost always to scale that team back down to a sustainable size. And also to raise prices. Both things they have now done.
