People have been saying this game is exciting because of the lack of mtx, but it seems to me that any big rpg gets a lot of attention. Eldan Ring got similar praise last year. Bioware was making these kinds of games fairly consistently about a decade ago and then stopped to make shit like Anthem. It’s a design decision not a budget problem.
The Spider-Man: No Way Home - The Art of the Movie book just landed on shelves worldwide, and in it, the film’s director, Jon Watts, confirmed what audiences always suspected about the ending of the movie: it ends at the beginning.
I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do....
Well from my perspective it’s not that people hate California it’s that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it’s near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it’s the tenth largest city in the US. It’s not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.
Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don’t mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it’s basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it’s not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It’s the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it’s somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.
If you’ve ever met old timers in Texas you know great don’t like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that’s where I assume most of the hate comes from.
True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it’s more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.
New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.
Yes, DeSantis schtick is getting old. It’s not a real policy. Most people don’t even have a clear view of what woke is even supposed to mean.
Even Trump doesn’t care for it.
“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Donald Trump
I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it’s closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn’t understand the hype but I get it now. I’m holding out for an app with multireddit though. That’s the one feature I really want.
Get ready for more unhinged shit like this soon because the only reason this show exists was the 2007 writers strike. If it weren’t for them introducing the financial instinctive of golden stars I’m pretty sure it would have turned into Lord of the flies. The first episode they were all at each other’s throats and the dynamic changed after there was a prize to be won by working together.
I’m expecting more crazy reality and game shows soon. And maybe AI tv too. Either way it’s going to get weird fast. The studio executives all think of themselves as creatives and they will throw out every insane thing they can think of to get your attention.
The return of a mythic fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 on September 19 has already revealed the number of fighters that it will have in its initial squad. Nine remain to be announced.
Is Tanya being a bit ugly that much of a controversy? Game looks awesome and much faster paced than 11. The cameos are much better than the customizable characters imo.
Flatpacks give me the least trouble so I guess those. All though appimages seem alright too. Snaps however seem to never want to install. I like the idea of easy one click installs for every distro but I think we are a few years away from that.
If google gets their way websites will be able to block OS’s and browsers. But if enough people switch to Firefox they won’t be able to push this change as easily. Google Chrome has about an 80% marketshare in the browser market and most of the alternatives are forks of Chromium which google controls. If this doesn’t change Google will be able to do anything they want.
More tech to change things in post. I feel like Hollywood is relying too much of this kind of technology to fix poor planning and writing. Look at all reports about marvel films being radically changed in post. You can tell when a film is a patch job.
He started out as aggressive. Christians aren’t appropriating Jewish culture lol. Also OP watch Martin Scorsese’s movies as they all have Catholic themes.
I agree. I don’t really consider social media “technology” anymore. I mean yeah it uses technology but so does everything else. I don’t think technology is the right community for this kind of post. There should be an enshittification community where we can see all the Twitter, reddit, and meta stuff.
In fact a lot of “technology” companies are just regular companies with an app. Netflix is a media company, Uber is a taxi company that somehow skirted regulators, and Airbnb is a hotel company that also skirted regulators.

This list is very unpretentious lol. I recognize everything they listed and have seen almost half of them. They are some the most famous films of all time. Also Citizen Kane is considered the best because it broke a lot of rules set by studios and it was copied by just about everyone. Cinema wouldn’t be the same without it.
I just finished playing Wanted:Dead and while it has a lot of issues I had fun with it. It had campy cutscenes, bad voice acting, and bugs galore. But I liked what it was going for. It was like a mix of 360 era 3rd person shooter and a PS2 era slasher action game....
