Maybe Music Platforms and Record Labels should look at themselves first and Pay Musicians better?!🤬

Major record labels are reportedly pressuring Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms to raise subscription prices 🎧

They say current rates haven’t kept up with inflation

It's a disgrace what Nintendo comes away with every single time! Sales are on and only 1 first party title is on sale (25% off😐). No other big Nintendo title has been discounted. If Sony or Xbox would do this ppl would riot. But not the blind Nintendo fan community 🤬😤

NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing.

Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Begging World of Warcraft to learn from other MMOs that allow you to earn currencies by *playing the game* instead of making them complicated real life money sinks in an already subscription based game. Especially right now with the economy where it is.

Xbox deserves a lot of recent criticism but one thing I will celebrate is giving Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games and Double Fine the creative freedom to make Hellblade 2, South of Midnight and Keeper

I want more of these expressions of art and storytelling

Updates on addon API restrictions - allowing for more stuff to basically work outside of instances and combat 👀
Addon communications and chat access The ability to send addon messages and read chat is currently restricted entirely while inside an instance. This has been relaxed to only apply when any of the following are true: A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed. A PvP match has started and not yet completed. An instance encounter is in progress. Cooldown access Cooldown access is currently always secret. This has been relaxed to only return secrets when any of the following is true: A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed. A PvP match has started and not yet completed. An instance encounter is in progress. The player is in combat Aura access Aura access is currently secret while in combat. This has been slightly tightened to share the same updated restrictions as cooldowns. Additionally, aura APIs that return a single aura from a spell ID or name have been restricted and are no longer callable while aura access is secret. Unit resource access New UnitHealthPercent, UnitHealthMissing, UnitPowerPercent & UnitPowerMissing APIs have been added (returning secret values). String formatting Tainted code will now be allowed to call the following functions with secrets (resulting in secret strings): string.format string.concat string.join Additionally, the Lua concatenation operator has been relaxed and will allow tainted code to concatenate numbers and strings. GetRestrictedActionStatus A new global GetRestrictedActionStatus API has been added to query whether or not a restriction "type" (eg. secret cooldowns) is actively being enforced. Tooltips Resolved an issue where tooltips could fail to display if the previously shown tooltip was set up by tainted code. Coming soon (Alpha 4 and beyond) -------------------------------- Secret structured tables APIs that return structured tables as secrets will no longer make the entire table secret - just the values inside. This doesn't apply to events or APIs that return vectors of data (specific cases where this is problematic are being evaluated). String formatting Various numeric formatting APIs - including AbbreviateNumbers - will be made callable with secrets by tainted code (returned strings will inherit secret state) Unit identity access Access to creature unit names, GUIDs, and IDs will be made secret while in an instance and no longer be based off combat state. Unit resource access APIs will be added to allow addons to adjust the color of unit frame health bars based on health percentage

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

For those wondering why crest caps aren't being lifted with the 11.2.5 patch:
S2's Turbo Boost (with caps lifted) started 10 weeks after the season start.
The 10th week of S3 is 2 weeks after the patch.
They're not delaying Turbo Boost, they're doing an early partial start
