I’d take another Impossible Lair over mainline game, but I’m not against a proper 3D collect-a-thon sequel.

Both were enjoyable, but Impossible Lair was better.

I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.

I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).

The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.

I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.

Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.

Shouldn’t they just make a sequel in that case?

Obviously I don’t know what the details of he suit against Disney but the truth is Disney fucked up and they knew it.

Disney tried to gain a few extra bucks at the cost of a legal battle with Johansson. If Disney won it would have been a clear signal that Disney is willing to screw over top talent for a few million dollars.

Not to compare “Black Widow” to “Endgame”, but that’s squabbling over millions when billions are at stake.

Looking at someone like Johansson that’s squabbling over millions when tens of hundreds millions are at stake. Contracts with top talent now take longer, top talent is a little less likely to work with Disney.

It all but guaranteed a loss for Disney.

The settlement was Disney’s way of saying “we fucked up”, and truth be told was probably at least partially responsible for Bob Chapek being replaced as CEO.

Layoffs also shake every other employee in an immeasurable way.

Even if you didn’t lay someone off they may now change their priorities. Maybe they focus on the people pleaser tasks. Maybe they focus more on what is good for them to keep their job vs what is good for the company.

Layoffs should be a last resort but tech companies are just playing follow the leader right now. In a few years we’ll see memoirs and books stating “in hindsight we may have made a mistake, but we made the best decision we could with the information we had at the time”, it’s all absolutely bullshit. This is all being done for a temporary stock boost.

Because his name is “Володимир Зеленський”, but neither you nor I know how to pronounce that so it is converted to “Volodymyr Zelenskyy” or a slight variation since there isn’t a direct translation or there are multiple translations.

Different news outlets have different rules, so some articles spell it differently.

Today? Maybe a few. A week, a month, a year from now? Reddit is going to get worse. People will leave.

Looking at Twitter it’s clear some folks will never leave no matter how bad it gets, but plenty of folks will leave.

Link broken/missing? Or has the game already started and I’m losing?

If they had discounts it would work. But we all know they aren’t having discounts.

To be fair to Chrome.

Microsoft had the vast majority with Trident. Mozilla/Firefox slowly gained market share with Gecko. Chrome/Webkit* then took market share from both.

It’s not like Chrome just appeared one day and demanded everyone use them, they gained market share by being a good browser.

*(Chrome now uses a fork of Webkit called Blink.)

That being said I do think Firefox provides the best browser experience, and Chrome users should look into switching.

Which is a long way of saying Microsoft fucked up bad. Real bad.

I’m amazed and so glad to read this. This is basically my exact strategy.

I watch the newer episodes (I’ll have seen them enough eventually) and I turn my screen nearly off (almost no backlight plus a filter).

I switch up the shows sometime, but if I need sleep it’s Futurama.

I have 8 bucks in Google Kajigger, is it moving to the new thing? Do I have to sort out how to move it around? I’m think I had it all hooked up to a bank at one point. Maybe it was a friend that sent me money?

I think I used it to pay for Dunkin Donuts, but both apps list Dunkin Donuts, can I just use the money there?

That’s why this is all so annoying, I have to figure out this whole process, old and new, just for 8 bucks.

Someone please correct me, but a few months back on Mastodon I reported a post (on a different instance) and it went to the admin of my instance.

I assume it’s the same for Lemmy.

In the trailing off part of the article,

“Many stock trades are done by computers, reacting in fractions of seconds to new information. The inflated margin likely triggered a buying frenzy before most people could digest the numbers.”

Which, if true in this case, is even more funny to think about. Not only does the share values not reflect actually company value, but that value isn’t even what a person thinks it is.

I’m reminded of the helpless employee who says “The computer won’t let me do it.” The enigma of the computer that is off doing it’s own thing.

Oh I feel your pain.

I was in a video rental store, saw “Mario is Missing”, and like you assumed it was a sequel to “Super Mario World”.

Got home to play it and was just flabbergasted. I don’t think I played for more than an hour before complaining to my parents. Luckily they’re nice people and they had more errands to run that day. So back out we go, back to the video store we end up, time for me to pick a new game to rent.

Oh, “Mario’s Time Machine”, now that’s a Mario sequel guaranteed to be fun.

Mario and I were not on good terms for a long while after that.

(For those not in the know, “Mario is Missing” in an educational Mario game about geography, think Carmen Sandeigo but not fun. “Mario’s Time Machine” is basically the same game, but time.)

Season 2 has been excellent so far.

I do agree waiting 2 years for 4 episodes, then 5 months for 4 more episodes is a huge let down.

Because it’s not true. It feels believable, but it’s a lie. Everyone, especially at the top, know this so no one is punished.

It’s bulletproof not soupproof.
