I think a big part of it is that a lot of gaming companies keep wanting to make AAA gaming, but no one wants to pay for AAA gaming.

Mario Kart 8 was already a recycled game from the Wii U and it sold well. After it stopped selling copies, Nintendo sold more DLC with the Booster Course Pass.

Usually people use the term "unskilled labor" as justification that those working said jobs don't have any skills and therefore shouldn't earn a living wage.

The anger isn't in the denotation of the term, but the connotation.

The stock market has fallen, but a recession is called when the Gross Domestic Product falls for two quarters in a row. We might be in the beginning of a recession, but we won't know until after the data is collected.

That the stock market has dropped so much isn't a good sign, as the stock market is usually a leading indicator on how the rest of the economy is doing since it is easier to calculate a basket of stock prices than the GDP of a country.

I feel like Silicon Valley got trapped between two parties. On one side, Democrats were actively discussing increased regulations and antitrust litigation. On the other side, Republicans were going to accept free reign as long as they got support on "other policies".

It turns out the "other policies" included significantly reducing their customer base.

I think there is a bit of a difference.

Millennials have had to deal with a near constant shitty job market, constantly having to do more for less.

What they're describing for Gen X is that a part of the economy has completely disappeared at a time when they should be high earners. The combination of lower cost digital media and an international labor pool means entire professions and trades have been wiped out.

Looks like they had to do something different than Mario Kart 8 and they did. The game looks interesting.

It isn't interesting enough to buy, but then I figured I might sit this generation out.

It is a simple solution to a complicated problem. For a segment of society, it sounds good enough.

They're already working on child labor in some states.

And it isn't good for them if stock growth doesn't happen because American companies lose market share.

It is probably likely that Stellantis sources from all three countries, so Canadian and Mexican built cars would also be hit by tarrifs.

If you are going to list job experience, make sure to use active verbs to describe tasks and try to show that you were working beyond the role.

If you get an interview, be able to talk about what is on your resume.

I found the people in Jordan were incredibly friendly.

Jim makes The Muppet Show in the 1970's, shaping the show as a vaudeville comedy act. Meanwhile, Jim gets experience seeing the first season of Saturday Night Live up close and sees Lorne running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to put on a show using live actors.

Obviously, Kermit is a self insert character of Jim himself. But, could Jim have included a bit of Lorne into Kermit at the time to portray a show runner at wits end due to his cast?
