Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

I look forward to this video every year. An industry animator talks about the best animation found in last year's games. There are always lots of games I've never heard of, and I end up appreciating something about a game that I've never thought about before.

They have one, but you also want information to be where people are. Especially if where people are is full of misinformation and rumours.

It's worth remembering that this guy says anything that's in the current trend because just saying those things helps share prices. Then nothing comes of it.

FF16 wasn't stuffed full of nfts or crypto or even microtransactions even though the president makes comments about this stuff.

These words aren't for you, it's for the market.

I know everyone loves Valve, but it feels super weird to be celebrating a monopoly so much and so ferociously. (I know Steam isn't a technical monopoly. We don't need to have that discussion)

Gaben is old, and he's gonna retire. It'll likely be a lot sooner than anyone here is comfortable with. When Valve gets sold, or even when gaben isn't in total control anymore, things are going to start changing, and there isn't going to be a healthy, diverse marketplace to soften that.

There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.

  1. it's basically fine and unoffensive ui to 99.9% of people
  2. people see it as functionally free because they bought prime for free delivery
  3. People don't know how to pirate

He isn't a "really good business man", everything he's made is built on a foundation of lies. Eventually, it'll collapse or be saved by socialised systems for being too big to fail. Musk is a con man, not a businessman. He's just made a living out of conning investors and the public alike.

How is enjoying music "pointless"? I don't understand your train of thought at all. Benefit from it? I just like music

Only ever released briefly on vhs, then later on dvd in Spain for some reason, comes The Midnight Hour. A teenage Halloween party that turns deadly and bursts into song!

also starring Le Var Burton! It's a really fun Halloween movie that I try to watch every year, even if the quality is terrible

Okay, there aren't actually that many frogs in this movie. But there is always a vague croaking sound in the background track so that counts right?

A good reminder that protesting in the UK is effectively illegal, the police have powers to arrest you for doing pretty much anything at a protest, and the government pushes them to do so.

People who go out and protest are risking a lot, they deserve your respect

I really love it when Greta Thunberg gets in the news, you just know that it upped the blood pressure of a bunch of weirdos

It's cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don't actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.

I'm going to choose to believe the CEO is actively trying to tank the share price for some reason. This is approaching get fired or sued by shareholders level.
