Thanks Silicon Valley.
It's nice to be reminded that fundamentally this is all still the same bubble that started in 2015.
It's just gotten too narrow a pile of shit to stay standing any longer.

🚨 "The Making of Double Fine's Keeper" is now available! 🚨
Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊

Utiliza otro actor e ignora la anterior saga. Incluso estaría gracioso ambientarlo en los 60s, para dejarlo claro.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same.
Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

On Monday 04.11.2025 I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot from one of my test PCs with Windows 11. After restarting that PC on that same day, it REINSTALLED ITSELF again. Listen Microsoft - when I uninstall something from my PC it means I do not want it. Trash tier OS with this stuff.
