All month? This is the 342nd day of Halloween. All days lead to Halloween.

Yeah, all that you described? That’s what a union does. points at WGA They did it against some of the biggest multimedia companies. The only people who are going to fix the gaming industry are the workers and that takes a union.

- Comment on What is the attraction to kids? 1 year ago:
Precisely. It’s a mashup of what it has been trained on. Train it on celebrities in bikinis and pornstars getting railed in bikinis, smash the two together and et voila, suddenly every actress has a porn tape of getting railed in a bikini.

SAG-AFTRA stated
“After five rounds of bargaining, it has become abundantly clear that the video game companies aren’t willing to meaningfully engage on the critical issues: compensation undercut by inflation, unregulated use of AI and safety,” said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator, in a statement. “I remain hopeful that we will be able to reach an agreement that meets members’ needs, but our members are done being exploited, and if these corporations aren’t willing to offer a fair deal, our next stop will be the picket lines.”
The signatory companies stated
“We will continue to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement that reflects the important contributions of SAG-AFTRA-represented performers in video games. We have reached tentative agreements on over half of the proposals and are optimistic we can find a resolution at the bargaining table.”

Like games that came out three years before!
- Comment on If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been? 1 year ago:
Right? Nothing about him seemed really that insane or unhinged. Even killing Gamora, his adopted daughter that he appeared to care for, can be explained as him doing whatever it takes, not being insane. Even what he did to Nebula came off, to me, as just him being extreme in his desire for her obedience and perfect, like any other obsessed and controlling parent.
Honestly, he came off more as the “annoyed Titan” than anything else.

- Comment on Is there any way to open a pop can stealthily? 1 year ago:
If you can, place it on a relatively flat surface and move it in a circle for a minute or two. Not sure of how it works, but I’ve opened cans with nary a hiss using this method. I’ve even managed to do it with the can just on my thigh and trying to keep it as perpendicular as possible.

I worked a job where I figured a full quarter of the money I made from the job went to pay for commuting.

And how long ago was that? And have you heard back since?
- Comment on Being Mean to Scabs Is Working 1 year ago:
Except they’re not? Filming was shut down as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike started.

As for during the writer’s strike, I believe they could still film what was written. They just couldn’t write more or change the script. So I;d guess the idea might have been to film as much as they could, then do rewrites and reshoots after the strikes end.
- Comment on What does it mean to "get low" or "drop it down"? 1 year ago:
You realize that lordosis is a neurological reflex, not a sexual position, right? The position lordosis causes in animals may resemble similar positions in humans, but they are not the same thing.
