Fun fact, Chase Infinity who plays Leos daughter in the movie is turning 26 in Mai and is therefore undatable for Leo. He'll soon have to resort to dating actresses that would be his on screen grandkids. Nonetheless in Hollywood he's considered someone who likes them old.

Actors were waiting for instructions from their PR team on how to react.

They're making the world root for the current Iranian regime which is wild.

Truly every time period of human civilization had something in it that would make future generations shake their heads in disbelief.

"How could they use gigawatthours for crypto farms and useless AI applications while fully aware of a climate crisis caused by fossil fuels?", a student might ask his history teacher some day. "Because they were dumb as fuck.", the teacher might answer.

I was watching my own foot surgery the other day (local anesthetic) and even the surgeon's assistant had to cringe a bit at a certain spot while I was happily watching. She said most patients have to look away during these procedures but after growing up with unrestricted access to the internet and an at times unhealthy amount of curiosity I've seen it all. Should I have watched those isis beheading videos? Probably not. The production value was insane though.

My child is starving because of your decision!

You're right and honestly it's brave of you to step up for your child! I really messed up there, no excuses. Let me go ahead and check your claim again but this time I won't deny it, pinky promise.

Oh it looks like your claim was denied again. Would you like me to make a playlist of songs for a starving child?

She looks like she'd force children to give up their puppies so she can put them in the puppy crushing machine as the sound of their little snapping bones is the only thing that helps with her headaches.

Weirdest thing about this is that it would actually be comforting to me if there was a villain executing an elaborate plan. Instead it's just greed that drives it. You put a regular joe through business school, give em a CEO position with shareholders breathing down their neck and they'll start pushing shit down their customers throats in no time.

Gambling ads go brrrrrr.

A good third of the population simply don't have the cognitive capabilities to understand these things and if they're not protected by regulation they'll always fall for some form of scam.

 

Most grocery stores in my country have established an App (or card) you're supposed to use and it's slowly but surely going down the route of enshitification.

They start by letting you collect points. Then it's extra savings. Eg regular price is 3€, sale price is 1.80€ but app users get it for 1.50€. Cool, a way to save some money, you might think. Nope. Once they reach a critical mass of app users it continues to sales being App-only so everyone is now forced to use the App but there's no bonus left. Two of the biggest chains are at this stage. You now have the regular price (3€) and the app price (1.80€) which is the exact situation as before the app existed but they force you to jump through some extra hoops to get it.

Additionally to that they collect all this data with the sole purpose of manipulating you into spending more money at their store than you did before. They extract their profits from their customers and if we help them get more efficient at that it'll be us that lose out.

Tl;dr: Fuck store apps.

 

As I sit here and wait in Q after running into an invisible wall and disconnecting I couldn't help but wonder why this is needed to play what is essentially a single player game. Right, it's because nobody buys horse armor if they can't show it off in some mmo-ish open world nobody asked for. At least that's my best guess. This is not just a whine thread though. I genuinely asked myself why I'm putting up with this and it's because the game has a ton of beauty and fun to it that's wrapped in annoying monetization and general greed driven fuckery. So as the artists and programmers are carrying a horde of greedy goblins on their backs, I'd like to remind you all to lift with your legs.

 

I know it's early but I'm very disappointed in the build variety of barbarians so far. It's shout builds only because anything else is too weak to compete. Even found the unique chain pull axe but giving up a shout on the bar is simply not worth it. Anyway with the start of the first season I'd like a class with some variety to play around with different builds. Any recommendations?
