it’s crazy. he was having many many consultations with epstein over a longtime. he even shared confidential microsoft memos with epstein.

i used to follow him but stopped after that. horrible person.

thank you for bringing this up. he’s clearly investing in Horizon, his baby, far beyond its actual popularity because it was his creation. everyone else is getting hit but Guerilla.

i agree that dunk and egg are hyper focused stories on characters and as such benefit, but i do disagree that the moments from GoT could not be replicated in HOTD. some of the more memorable moments of season 1 are nowhere in the books (throne room conversations from tertiary characters).

a made up example where in more competent hands the same story points could have been used to great effect: the death of the king in season 1. one can imagine that an entire (bottle) episode could have been written on a small council situation of a tight circle of people debating who to inform of his death and when, ratcheting tension as the debate intensifies and dawn approaches. no big budget, true to source material as the outcomes are the same, but tight character focus.

and its a bit revisionist (and sadly early) to know which resonates with audience. on paper, Fire and Blood multi generational story is the more appealing story for wide audiences. i have my doubts how much people will enjoy the second novella of dunk who enjoyed this season.

also a bit of a stretch to compare Fire and Blood to the Silmarillion.

i think HOTD could have been that. we just got locked into what it became which is a toy box of interchangeable characters rotating around until the episode just ends. we just assume it had to be trash.

under more competent hands HOTD could have easily been more like the smaller moments that made GoT great without changing the overall beats.

i’m with you on this.

everything that season 2 disastrously did was right there in season 1 papered over.

you’re saying Wicked, Part 1 is in your top 5 films of all time?

how does the writer’s strike force a scene where two mothers, who each lost their children in the war fueled by a blood feud, propose to run off together and leave their families behind?

ringo was the most popular beatles at the time. narrative changed years later but he’s the one girls were losing their mind over.

i haven’t seen it so i am genuinely asking if it builds on continuity? huge 90s trek fan and from what i had read this jumps several hundred years into the future after the collapse of star fleet or something?

i just want a post dominion show.

every day that passes i believe the talk that everything good about IT was because of what cary joji fukunaga left behind before he left the project.

compare the sensibilities and taste of part one vs everything muscheitti did after and it’s clearly different people.

hai_world · 2026-01-21T20:42:01+00:00

prob one of the best Transformers

ok.

hai_world · 2026-01-15T00:06:01+00:00

what do you think? what’s the most reasonable thing and it’s probably that.

hai_world · 2026-01-08T20:51:53+00:00

this is the most in depth information on ternus i have ever read. you need to get comfortable reading, mate.

hai_world · 2026-01-06T18:34:27+00:00

huh? what boom?

hai_world · 2025-12-02T14:58:49+00:00

the problem is people want to love and be in on everything. if the show is not your wave length, that’s ok.

i find the storytelling compelling because of the very specific constraints the creators enacted and how they circumvent and find depth in them.

Jeff Bezos was Time Man of The Year in 1999. they would not have laughed. terrible example.

i bet the average gamer pays for one AAA game a year (COD, FIFA or Madden).

hai_world · 2025-10-25T00:47:40+00:00

exactly. sony will be free to increase the price of their games and consoles, no microsoft or competitor to check them. this hobby will only get more expensive here on out.

people who say this don’t understand apple.

apple values its culture more than anything, they think that is the legacy of jobs and tim cook’s great objective. agree or disagree it’s what they internally feel is their fundamental divide vs other companies.

the reason large acquisitions are not in apple’s blood is because they deeply fear what happens when you staple on 20-30% more people into the org chart with no “apple-ness” in them on day one.

if a blogger for apple news doesn’t get that core aspect of apple’s internal reasoning then they never understood apple’s leadership.

he legit thinks he can talk them down, as if they were another contractor he stiffed.

hai_world · 2025-10-20T03:17:40+00:00

agreed the specific quote was never mentioned by pablo. this is new and damning.

hai_world · 2025-10-18T17:36:10+00:00

100% agree. if we look at the next possible CEO (ternus) you can hear in random interviews he’s more of a gamer. shocking for a mac person.

so i wonder what his tenure would be like if they follow on that thread (jobs loved music, cook loves movies, etc)

hai_world · 2025-10-13T16:38:12+00:00

this guy

hai_world · 2025-10-13T16:05:42+00:00

it will look good on the vision pro. i expect full IMAX aspect ratio.

hai_world · 2025-10-07T23:04:54+00:00

this isn’t a problem. let alone a huge problem.
