So for the next 20 years all AAA game publishers will do the game equivalent of only releasing MCU/DC reboots, sequels and prequels?

Former sound engineer here. Yes, that's the correct title, but no, that's not our doing (not mine at least). I want as many people as possible to reasonably be able to enjoy my output, regardless whether they have a 40000$ home cinema, or if they're on a cheap TV.

I know that some directors (Christopher Nolan) tend to want to produce "best" quality at the expense of those who don't care. See Tenet as an example.

I'm too scandinavian to understand. Please explain.

EDIT: Looming shutdown due to McCarthy thinking he could toilet train the more disgusting segment of his menagerie. Thanks.

Another astroturf event incoming. Will we see perfectly choreographed videos of 50 people with identical half-full gas cans "spontaneously" showing up in support this time too?

New guy at my job, polish dude. He seemed decent enough, just a bit.... odd... but most of us were; after all, we were the kind of people who are willing to work on ships on the wrong side of the world for weeks, sometimes months at a time.

I trained him to do the job I did, so he could run opposite of my shift, with some assistance from the chief tech and various others. The rest of the crew were pretty experienced, so it made it easier when he needed help with the more complex stuff. He did reasonably OK for a newhire. Nothing spectacularly good, but nothing spectacularly bad either.

Until the crewing department told us he had been arrested back home, multiple counts of murder, and we were unlikely to have him onboard again, so we needed to train his replacement.

Turned out he was a serial killer who killed people for their properties. He's in prison now, and I'm sure you can google the person. I'm not sure what his actual name was, but we called him Winny. Any poles here who happen to remember the case and could link a news article? This happened roughly 10 years ago.

Saved you a click: Not really that mysterious or surprising. He was burnt out

And zuck is the kind of guy who has read every single wikipedia article relevant to martial arts, and now considers himself an unbeatable juggernaut who can execute every technique with perfection.

I answered my work phone with "Morgans Morgue; you kill'em, we chill'em" once. My coworker did not expect that and cracked up.

I've used the same line with different slogan a few times, but that's the one that worked the best.

Select "All" instead of "Local", sort by "Top 12 Hour", and enjoy.

It is my firm opinion that void* should be named "disappointer"
