"Entry-Level PC Segment Will Disappear by 2028,” Says Gartner, as Soaring Memory Costs Start to Cripple Manufacturers PC manufacturers won't find it viable to offer hardware to gamers at 'entry-level' prices, as memory costs have reached unprecedented levels.

Oh, really.

Is that good?

HBO Max and Paramount+ to Combine Into One Streaming Platform, Paramount Says HBO Brand Will ‘Operate With Independence’ Paramount Skydance plans to combine Paramount+ and HBO Max into one streaming service, upon the completion of the merger between Paramount and WBD.

Imagine merging HBO Max *into* Paramount+. Would be like putting Lexus parts into a Fiat. Merging Piccolo with Yamcha.

They are absolutely gonna collapse under that debt.

Aghast.

(But congratulations on really starting on the series!)

Borderlands is my guess.

The only thing I can take solace in is they will push so incredibly hard for Newsom up until the Presidential Primary, and then he'll just lose to someone with an actual ground game.

And the only thing worse than a loser in politics is a loser than had all the "elite" resources at their back.

We call this "manufactured consensus".

In the first zone, WoW is doing the Southern Reach.

My worlds collide, as Yuta from NCT is doing the next #KamenRiderZeztz opening (yep, there will be two) and the song is written and composed by Back-On's Kenji03.

Damn. I was going to pick one up soon, but now, they don't have the 16GB model at all.

Fuckkkkkkkk AI.

EXCUSE ME?!

A damned shame. Rest in peace, sir.

Give the Bluepoint info, I'd be worried if I was Bend Studio and Media Molecule, which haven't released a new game since 2019 and 2020 respectively.

The most important bit for me is:

"Still burning to make an original game, Bluepoint pitched other PlayStation studios on developing new projects in other franchises, such as a spinoff of Ghost of Tsushima, but nothing was greenlit."

TSUSHIMA SPINOFF! GONE!! AGHHHHH!

“David likes to hire people who he thinks were devalued,” says one person who has known him for years. One early example: Skydance swooped in and hired legendary Pixar chief John Lasseter after he resigned from Disney at the height of the #MeToo movement following allegations of inappropriate behavior. Later, the first major production deal announced by the new Paramount was a first-look pact with Will Smith, still tainted from slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. And one of the few leftover movies from the previous regime that Team Ellison embraced is an Ebenezer Scrooge project starring Johnny Depp that would mark the actor’s first major studio feature since Warner Bros. fired him from the Fantastic Beasts franchise in 2020 amid his messy divorce from Amber Heard.

There are examples of that same distressed-asset philosophy at the C-suite level. Shell, the president of Paramount, exited as chairman of NBCUniversal after a female colleague, a CNBC reporter, filed a sexual harassment complaint against him following a nearly decade-long affair. He was fired for cause and did not receive severance. Paramount colleagues say Shell is transparent about what happened, proactively bringing it up and eager to note that he’s learned from his mistakes. (Like Ellison, he is laser-focused on the potential Warners acquisition and not on the day-to-day operations of the film studio.) Several years before his firing, Shell and NBCUniversal movie chief Donna Langley informed staff at Universal Pictures that Josh Goldstine, president of worldwide marketing, was being suspended after an investigation into complaints of inappropriate conduct. Shell and Langley praised the women who came forward, and Goldstine was fired, but he later won a $20 million arbitration ruling against NBCU (the arbitration findings were never made public). He joined Warner Bros. as president of worldwide marketing in 2021 before being laid off at the beginning of this year. Greenstein lobbied Ellison to name Goldstine president of worldwide marketing and distribution at Paramount, and he joined the studio in mid-October. Some might have forgotten that in 2001, Goldstine was one of two top execs at Sony’s creative advertising division who were suspended and later demoted for making up glowing critics’ quotes for A Knight’s Tale after a class-action lawsuit was filed against the studio for duping moviegoers into seeing the film.

This is salient because Paramount has a number of them, detailed in this article: Lasseter, Ratner, Shell, Goldstine, etc.

IIRC, there was an interview or comment that touched upon Ellison's thinking on the matter: these disgraced, terrible, untouchable people can be paid much less (still something!) than the going rate and are loyal because they can't work elsewhere.

A sad move, but a logical one. I look forward to seeing you still over at RPG Site!

I mean, I don't even play #Pokémon, but this is the one, right? While Dog and Karen Lizard are fighting, it's about to pull a masterful gambit in court, Perry Mason-style.

Goddamn. I hate to wake up to this news, Tom. Sorry man.

Good to be back. They've done some work on it.

Netflix Backs Out of Warner Bros. Bidding, Paramount Set to Win In a stunning twist, the streaming giant's co-CEOs say Warner Bros. "was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price."

Netflix: "Enjoy that debt."

Doe, described as a 30-year-old former model from the U.K., claims she was “lured and manipulated” into moving to L.A. to work for Glover as his assistant in the entertainment industry. According to the lawsuit, the two first connected through social media in 2015, and Glover allegedly made “strange advances” and encouraged her for years to come to L.A. In 2023, Doe and Glover met in person in Dresden, Germany, where he allegedly showed her items of Nazi memorabilia from his personal collection.

Dear Google and Reddit,

Resident Evil Requiem in physical is sold out at all the major retailers? (Exception is Amazon's Switch 2 version.)

Did y'all just not make enough copies?

Oh, this is the first time you've read @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com's stuff? Such a blessed discovery for you.

Here's my #SteamNextFest loadout.

Lighter than previous Next Fests for me. There were noticeably fewer games in certain categories like Strategy, Simulation, and RPG.

There's also way more AI gen art. This is my first look at your game: poor, uninteresting logos and art mean I won't even click.

I'd say the good games in there are X-Men Arcade, Cap and Avengers Arcade, and the Spider-Man/Venom SNES games.

After that, it's a struggle.
