People saying Avatar has no cultural impact but it’s the one movie my dad always asks to go see with him in cinemas in the week it comes out and that’s gotta mean something

Oh yeah, not disputing that. It’s just that I can see why people feel that way and we’re approaching a point where this ‘style’ will just get lugged in with AI slop, however unfair that might be to the artist

The color usage and overal ‘glossiness’ of high contrast or whatever does raise some red flags.

Realigned makes it sound like they shuffled the tables and desks, post summer holiday, primary school style but removed 3 tables…

Ze maken dat programma in huidige vorm ook al bijna 20 jaar. Als er iets establishment TV is dan is het whatever-inside wel…

Eerdmans en Nanninga hadden geen problemen met racisme van Baudet en co, ze hadden een probleem met dat hij ‘the quiet part out loud’ ging zeggen…

Was the fictional Kingsguard in George RR Martin’s a Song of Ice and Fire novel series a prediction of the dire state of the post 2016 Supreme Court? In this essay I will argue that…

Die tram gaat enkel weg om geld te besparen?

De Derksen pot verwijt de Feyenoord ketel dat hij zwart ziet

Didn’t you know that Air starting Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is famously entirely fictional and not based on any real true events?

Waarom ook geen blauwe cirkel in het midden met sterren.

Ze willen een ministerie dat zo impopulair was dat de leider ervan noodgedwongen zijn politieke ambities moest afbreken. Ik zeg doen Jopie, en dan als voorzitter Johan Derksen en Angela de Jong

Shoehorn AI features into all products, show massive ‘user engagement’ to shareholders to justify burning billions of capital expenditure on generative AI

That’s a very handsome photo Ed

Please makes sure the PR in question receives this, so that person can demonstrate it as ‘secret brilliance’ to their boss

Greece being a favorite feels like no coincidence. It combines the hospitality of the Mediterranean with being quite dependent on tourism, ergo the Dutch get treated with the elevation they feel entitled to…

I’m not sure if its purely Calvinism, I get the feelings it’s the worship of ‘vakantie’ which means a certain servile attitude is expected? My holiday is sacred and nobody is allowed to inconvenience my in any way, that sort of thing.

Never hate my fellow dutch people more than when on holiday. Not quite sure what brings out the attitude even worse there but it's absurd. And I've always had a good experience in France...

Love that town, stayed at the campsite there couple of times.

Are you in Goudargues?

You telling me you can’t just chuck a brick of tofu into a pan like it’s beef mince? 😅

YouTube video by poyani George Carlin - Euphemisms

As a vegetarian I appreciate the more inclusive language. But this kind of language strips emotion from the things we do. It reminds me a little of that George Carlin bit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEQ...

ondertussen was 'Links' grotendeels ook ontevreden over hoe Timmermans in het begin stelling nam over de genocide in Gaza dus dat is dan wel weer prachtige frame die gecreëerd is...

EA CEO’s pay is up, as EA worker median income drops Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago

Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart

To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

I'm not even including the right-wing-grift outrage machine into this take. They do this as well of course but at industrial scale.

A game just being good or mediocre cannot simply be. It needs to validate my worldview after all! So I can look intelligent and make it my whole personality

I feel like every 2-3 months we get a new game that everyone projects their feelings about the industry at large unto, often ignoring the unique circumstances that those games were made under and released. Baldur's Gate 3, Space Marine 2 and now Clair Obscure...

Schimmelpennick doet als liberaal echt beter werk voor de sociaal democratie dan alle 'partijprominenten van weleer'

Als het had geregend en koud was, had het toch ook een kutplek geweest? Ik snap dat het 'evocative' is maar buiten dat is een snelweg toch een verschrikkelijke plek om als mens te zijn. En had niet de indruk dat dit om het terug winnen van de Ring ging oid
