Aren’t they introduced as special effects artists in the intro of every episode?

Please quit with this tax write off misinformation.
They cut their losses. We don’t know the details why, but for some reason they decided it would cost too much in money or reputation to continue with marketing and release.
Not everything is a billionaire conspiracy. Sometimes they just realise they made a film too shit to release, or some person in a suit just wanted to spite someone.

Gog does now have a launcher, but you can still download the offline installer files for games.

Commandos! One of my favourites! Commandos 4 comes out soon I believe
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 5 weeks ago:
If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.
This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

Hang on, what is bad about the word moist? Some of my favourite things are moist!
- Comment on nighttime pollinator gang rise up 5 weeks ago:
What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.
- Comment on Todd Phillips: Movie Theaters Should Ban Commercials Before Films 1 month ago:
That was when the credits happened at the start of the film. Now that the credits are at the end, most people would walk out before the trailers could play.

The good news is you get a four hour erection.
The bad news is that you die within two hours. - Comment on Anon questions physics 2 months ago:
I used to have this magic basket. I would put dirty clothes in, and later those clothes would turn up clean
- Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option? 2 months ago:
Do you have a link to a track ball mouse as an example of what you mean? What do you think are the pros and cons of using one?
- Comment on Eternal fire 2 months ago:
It’s an improvement on established technology. The “healthy” angle is that it has a drip tray. For some reason that has more marketing potential than: cooks quicker, with less energy, and a smaller device.

- Comment on Just for a moment 2 months ago:
If you’re good at what you do, it’s not hard at all. Doesn’t even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It’s wonderful but it’s a doozy of a price you pay
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 2 months ago:
World of Final Fantasy is as close to a Pokemon rip off as you can get, and they didn’t get sued.
- Comment on Borderlands' theatrical run grinds to a halt with just $31 million worldwide, which is barely enough to cover the marketing costs 3 months ago:
Wow was a difficult one to make. You’ve got the cliche of humans vs orcs, but in the context of Warcraft the orcs aren’t pure evil antagonists. How do you make a swords and magic story where neither side are the bad guys?
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 3 months ago:
What can’t you play?

One version is that a T800 model 101 want back in time and terminated him.
- Comment on 'AI is coming for all of us:' Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Baldur's Gate voice actor Jennifer Hale weighs in on SAG-AFTRA's games industry strike 3 months ago:
Cheaper? yes. better? No. LLMs produce the most derivative inane BS that it would just act as filler. In classic RPGs and adventure games a lot of the filler dialogue was one line per NPC to represent a microcosm within a location. There’s nothing to be gained from theoretically infinite NPCs with theoretically infinite lines of pointless dialogue.
- Comment on How did gravity worked on the Death Star? 4 months ago:
Because it looked silly. That is all.
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega 5 months ago:
I mean, that was Driver on psx, which was a good game. It’s the MMO bit I can’t imagine
- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 6 months ago:
It helps that Stargate could get away with stuff that that would have to be done by VFX now. They had underpaid extras suffering heatstroke when these days some of the budget would’ve been used for digital crowds.
The other effects were somewhat standard rotoscope energy blasts and compositing the water effects.
- Comment on Tom Cruise's "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 8" production has been delayed, again, due to submarine malfunction— budget said to be nearing $400M. 6 months ago:
The AI has made it out into the world, and the submarine has something that can stop it. The ai probably was recovered from the sub by the same people who went for the keys.

That’s not how tax works
- Comment on Anon discovers a diet trick 6 months ago:
All weight loss diet plans are just tricking you into eating less calories. Grapefruits don’t have magical weight loss powers, it’s just if you go on the grapefruit diet you can’t physically bring yourself to eat more than one or two, so you eat less than you normally do.

Watergate, and Home?
- Comment on Alien | The birth and curious death of HR Giger’s Space Jockey 7 months ago:
There are comics and novels that go deeper into the Space Jockeys that aren’t bad. Getting more isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s mainly that Prometheus Ave Covenant were genuinely terrible additions to the franchise.

Exponential growth means that you would level up faster and faster at an ever increasing rate.
Perhaps you mean logarithmic growth, where the rate of increase keeps slowing down?
