Yup! Also the other host Christian appeals to the Sega kid in me. He’ll uncover gems that evoke the Dreamcast era.

People are more likely to go online and complain than to compliment. But why take internet comments so seriously. I have a handful of trusted sources that I use to get my opinions on games. DLC Podcast for example is a favorite of mine. I’ve gotten to know their tastes and where they overlap with mine so when they get excited about a specific thing I’ll know if I’m likely to enjoy it based on our shared interests.

When you get a handful of voices that have a strong overlap with your own taste then you can get outside of the tribalistic bitching of the hive. Comments don’t even concern me anymore.

Incase you missed it or didn’t finish the article they’re looking for support (I suspect they won’t be getting any from the government)

MySpace mail when?

You’d come in and slap down your penny and they would go “we can’t charge less than a penny so do you want one or two?”

Empty screenings are not unusual. I’ve been to a lot of movies where I’m the only one in there.

In 2013 it was around $8. So for a $4044 take your looking at about 505 tickets sold. It’s likely they probably got about 80-90% of this on the Friday and Saturday which is about 18-20 seats per theater per night for the opening.

All that said, yea the numbers are low but it’s not entirely on the movie itself, this is the effect of marketing and availability. We contrast this with something like 50 Shades of Grey which is lower rotten tomatoes and lower IMDB but pulled in about a half billion because they marketed the hell out of it.

Most smaller movies don’t sell out a screening. With 11 screens probably only running for a week it wouldn’t have any marketing. $4044 according to box office mojo so that seems about right.

This is a bit misleading, it was only in 11 theaters before going to streaming so it can’t be compared with a standard wide release film. Like Bird Box was a massive hit for Netflix but you could say it only sold a few tickets (because it only appeared in a couple theatres)

So did someone make this with AI 🤔

“I’m really looking for a guy who can self host a matrix instance”

“Why isn’t one of the most expensive to operate websites free?!”

There’s a reason there are zero actual competitors in this space (maybe TikTok but it’s full of its own problems). Only a company as big as Google can afford to run at this scale. Feel free to add your business plan on how to make YouTube free without ads and without it shutting down in 3 months.

Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I’d be like yeah checks out.

His income is a complicated web of assets. They’d probably argue he only makes 100k a year.

I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.

I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know… the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.

Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

Decoder podcast which this is from and specifically Nilay Patel is awesome, if you’re not subscribed check it out

There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.

He’s also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c
