  • It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility, since Hollywood loves to blacklist folks in general for opinions outside work. But to outright claim X, Y or Z won’t be working at Paramount seems a bit of a stretch.

    There’s a lot of wiggle room in that article. It’s reporting on ‘sources told Variety’ that Paramount is making a list, but that they’re not sure who’s on it. But that they assume these people would be.

    It’s all silly anyway. Even folks like Kevin Spacey eventually get back to working in Hollywood. Hollywood principles only go so far once the media attention dies down.




  • As an avid gamer, it’s ANNOYING AS FUCK.

    When a new game is out, I want to know about bugs and performance, not whether or not the writing is ‘woke’, what characters are LGBTQ or how somehow any other aspect of it is related to this culture war. Fuck off with that far right bullshit.

    Gaming forums should be about games. Leave politics and other bullshit out of it.

    These days I just look at YouTube reviews and skip Steam’s comment section for at least a month after launch.




  • I’ll take that for sure. Absolutely loooove winter. I downright detest summer. It’s too bright, too warm, sweaty, makes me irritable and I’m less productive in general.

    To quote The Weeknd: I come alive in the fall time. My mood improves, everything gets cosy and comfortable. Fall and winter bring nice things like christmas, hot chocolate, gorgeous colors in nature, nice sweaters, warm jackets. Absolutely love it.


  • Not exactly surprising, considering the TV’s and monitors are outpacing the contemt creators and gaming development.

    A lot of gamers don’t even have GPU’s that can crank out 4K at the frame rates most monitors are capable of. So 8K won’t do much for you. And movies and regular TV? Man, I’m happy there’s 4K available.

    A 4K screen will be more than most folks need right now, so buying an 8K at the moment is just wasted money. Like buying a Ferrari and only ever driving 25 mph.

    There’s a reason we have the term ‘horse money’, let’s put it like that.

    You take a chihuahua to the vet, it’s going to cost you a couple hundred bucks. But a horse isn’t a chihuahua. The bills scale exponentially. Then there’s the stabling costs, transportation, farrier, tack, etc. Etc. Buying a horse is the dumbest thing you can do except for buying a boat.

    Basically, all in, figure on something between 8k and 10k per year. Assuming good health, you can ride a horse daily, but they’re not exactly convenient for your grocery shopping. Though I have done a drive through on one :D
