Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

Playing through the latest Yazuka game about the death of the Yakuza, similar to the last of the outlaws in RDR2.

You could just do an FTX and scapegoat 1 person, or be like WeWork and get rich losing money. Not to mention the hundreds of embezzling, politician lobbying companies out there or even the chaebols in Asia.

This is difficult to explain. I can't figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it's confusing. Here are some examples

1. A house, prices are out of control, inventory is low, sellers are greedy. I'm feeling not only unable to afford it but finding lack of value in inflated prices

2. Computer parts. Relatively cheap compared to pandemic but more expensive than before but also much cheaper than 90s/00s, but still could be cheaper

3. TWS earbuds, completely different ball game from regular earbuds, disposable electronics.

4. Food. Nights out with drinks now sometimes cost me more than 2 & 3, but seem like just keeping up with inflation

The prices range from 100,000s to 100s, but some are fleeting, some semi permanent, some last a long time. I also spend hours researching prices of parts and waiting for sales, but spending the same amount on social events in an instant

Just finished MFN, it had the same vibe, underlying horror as NFB, both focused on behind the scenes in television. Would be great if these 2 companies did references to each other the same way Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank did in the early days

RE Engine: Monster Hunter, REMakes, DMC. All run beautifully

Idtech: Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are super optimised on low end hardware

Then you have Unreal Engine 5 which needs top end hardware to run (Remnant 2, Lords of Fallen) and

Gamebryo/Creation which still has bugs from Morrowind in Starfield.

Not sure if related but City Skylines 2 needs several times $$ investment for slight improvements over Cities 1 on Unity

Now a splash screen either makes me smile or cringe. Just wished everything ran RE engine

FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can't run it.

Opening up Morrowind to try to replace Starfield or DOS 1 to replace Baldur's Gate 3

Aren't they just buildings and infra?

Well it's officially Q4 and if WW3 doesn't break out I should receive the TKD Cycle 7 this year.

I need linear switches and some stabs, what are the best recommendations?

Aside from a screwdriver and pullers, I don't have other specialised tools..what else do I need?

Went on sale so I tried it out, never played the first game.

First off the performance is kinda bad for the level of graphics, the unreal engine 5 seemed like a big deal but the art direction here is way worse than Elden Ring, with micro stutters and moving the mouse around doesn't seem smooth.

The gunplay is kinda bad as well, I just came off RE4 remake and the guns had a sort of recoil and muzzle flash which is missing here, it feels like I'm firing pea shooters.

I heard it's a really good coop game but I'm mostly going to try solo plus public lobbies.

Farelly brothers, Coens, Russos, Wachowskis, Lord and Miller etc.

Pretty good track records for these teams, but are there counter examples or should mid directors just find a partner?

It could be over a few months, like a new job where one day you feel like actually going to work thinking, hey I actually like these people and don't mind working here.

Or when your friends have been super busy for months and suddenly you get matched on dating apps, old friends reach out and people want to buy your old junk on Craigslist in a single day.
