To me that’s like saying everyone’s too exhausted to brush their teeth or have a shower. Simple cooking isn’t hard when it’s ingrained in your life. That comes from finding enjoyment in it and upbringing plays a big part in that.

Paid for by mass layoffs and rewarded with an exec bonus.

I think cars should be prioritised for commercial use. It serves more people like a bus or train does to public transport. In fact a van with more parcels would eliminate more trips from individual homes to the post office by car. That said. Cars shouldn’t be the only option for delivery for sure. Depending on the city and delivery region.

It definitely feels like a lost cause banning guns. It’s part of the culture. When we banned guns in Australia after one single mass shooting, I don’t believe Australia had nearly as much of a gun loving culture. It was still seen as a tool in the country side for hunting and such. I don’t know the answer to changing culture. It’ll take generations possibly. Smoking was seen like an everyday thing in the 60s. Now it’s disgusting. Perception can change eventually.

This is upbringing and education. If you grow up in a household that eats well and values food and cooking at home surely it’ll make a difference. I wouldn’t solely blame this on the individual. America sells junk food way too aggressively and way too much. I reckon there needs to be restrictions on that and even heavier taxes on junk food.

While I personally wouldn’t repair my own iPhone. If I need it done I would want to go to an Apple Store anyway. This makes selling on your phone for other people to fix and use and sell on and use again virtually impossible, which would’ve been more sustainable than just binning the phone.

It’s especially shitty since they also announced net zero plans. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

I would understand if they wore it on their chin outside or not near people and put it back up when inside or close or talking to people. Still good practice to do so if you’re sick and contagious. And fine to take a rest from wearing it outside.

That’s awesome. Does it perform well? Last time I tried heart gold emulation it was so laggy and I couldn’t fix it and gave up. This looks really cool tho in tempted to try

That’s utterly diabolical if that was the intention

That’s what I was wondering. Do they know something? I would’ve assumed ps5 have enough tech to get to 2026

Exciting to see this is progressing. I wonder how this might impact sea life having this enter the ocean. Probably better than plastic junk but still to be considered I assume.

I’m thinking about the movie going decision and why “scary” movies make money regardless of quality. They might not be good movies. But advertised scary movie means “hey let’s all go see it” to experience the scares together for fun. Whereas this decision to see something they don’t know for the thrill wouldn’t happen as much or at all with other genres.

On your comment I also do think some filmmakers might miss the point on what makes good scary like what you talked about.

Louie was the one of the most creative and funny show at the time. I really looked up to Louis CK and his work. His whole scandal was the one that taught me not to look up to anyone that’s not directly in my life.

I’m not a horror/thriller fan. I do see why it’s an easy churn and burn genre though. Lot of these don’t have to be good to make a profit. Cheap to make and it’s a good group experience. Just have to give audience a good cinema experience to justify ticket purchase.

Here comes the purple transparent backplate!

They are definitely up there! I think there’s more of a culture of not taking things too seriously hence clients are more willing to let loose and try new and funny ideas. Japan, New Zealand, Brazil have good examples too. Australia use to put out really fun advertising that doesn’t take itself too seriously. We got way more conservative over the last 20 years and now it sucks ass.

Good advertising aren’t loud. They entertain and are memorable and in turn effective and you don’t mind it’s effective because it didn’t yell at you or treat you like a child. It’s too bad 99% of advertising made even by brilliant thinkers are pure shit.

I’ve commented more here in this short time than my 10 years on reddit. I feel heard and I feel supported. Most people are civil and respectful and I really appreciate it. Thank you all.

I ended up with a net positive with this game. There’s elements of the story, characters, gameplay and world I love. But certain aspects had execution and pacing problems. Someone mentioned if the story was a novel this would be an amazing read and I absolutely feel it

All the ingredients are there. It was limited by the execution of the game. I personally feel it would’ve been better as an old school pixel rpg.

That all being said. Loved the talent performance, emotional journey, ending etc.
