It's crazy Spider-Verse lost. I haven't seen The Boy and the Heron though, so I could be talking out of my ass.

For real; if it wasn't going to go to Angela Bassett, then Stephanie was the easy second choice. Compared to her, Jamie Lee shouldn't have even been in the running.

IF (and I mean IF) it's better, then that shouldn't matter. ATSV was near perfect.
 
But at least this isn't as big a "WTF" upset as Jamie Lee Curtis winning best supporting actress last year for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Bonus.
 
 

RIP to Akira Toriyama. One of the men who helped shaped my and many other children's childhoods🙏

I know that as a game it's not that good outside of the core gameplay, which is admittedly simple. I say that as someone who likes the gameplay and plays MK1 a lot. Story mode is OK at best (hate that they went the MCU route iykyk), and Invasions is straight trash.
 
But I haven't seen any tournaments or been up on any drama to judge from that perspective.

I THINK their logic is this: those games take time and money and care, and even then, aren't guaranteed major sales. Why do that when you can roll these live service dice until you get one that hits? Because one hitting may make up for many that don't. Just like the egregious microtransactions in these games nowadays. The few "whales" more than make up for the majority that are pissed at them.
 
But this gamble is dangerous in a way microtransactions aren't. I think the whole idea of live services is getting a stink on it now, outside of a couple properties that excel at it. If they throw all their eggs in that basket, it'll be a disaster.

It comes full circle now
 

I SO wanna believe he did that as a chess move, knowing they'll be more valuable in the future when Trump is either dead, in jail, or president again.
 
But I know it's much dumber than that: he really just bought them.

Algorithm engagement. That's what. Somehow, someway, losers like that get paid off the anger that comes his way. Whether it be ads or new members. Used to be, if you verbally shit your pants, you'd just get laughed at and that will be that. Now, everybody has an echo chamber AND them getting dunked on is beneficial. Not that much, but enough to make it worth it. It's worth it to shit your pants and be a public loser if you have no other skills these days. If you gather a crowd, that is.
 
I just really wish we had a way to stop rewarding all these all these professional pants-shitters.

Wow, I thought they somehow did that thing where they get two photos mixed up, but yeah, that's her.

Literally every time I think "I'm not getting paid enough", some report that a company is laying off hundreds comes out. I don't know what sign the universe is trying to give me. Is it trying to say "go for it; you might not be there tomorrow" or "stay where you are"?

My brain almost made me gag just processing that. Some dumbasses don't get that you have to KNOW the rules to break them. Your captain is flying (frying?) blind.
