If a YouTube video has "CHANGES EVERYTHING!" in the title, the creator is promoting something that's incredibly minor and probably not worth your time.

Not a single person has argued this strawman.
While it’s probably true that housing costs are keeping people out of CA and NY, there’s this notion that middle America or the sunbelt will empty out and depart to Brooklyn if Brooklyn built more units, and I’m pretty sure the people who believe this all live in Brooklyn already
Will is totally I missing the rejoinder. Way more people would live in the Northeast and coastal CA if we allowed for abundant home building.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

A Far Cry TV show?
I'm intrigued.
ESPECIALLY if they do a Blood Dragon style season.
Each season will feature a new setting and characters.

You are hereby reminded that Berkeley could have had Pixar. Steve Jobs wanted to specifically place Pixar HQ near the "creative and intellectual center of Berkeley." But at the same time Berkeley created the West Berkeley Plan to maintain little hobbit workshops instead of attracting real business.
Undoubtedly. Pixar, and the others. Look at my assessment density map. Emeryville sticks out for how many huge, valuable parcels they have.

Seriously though, this is AMAZING!
May not scale to something with Assassins Creed length credits (maybe they could do team descriptions) but this is great both for general knowledge and for future (historical) reference.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Do kids today know that EA once shipped a PlayStation game with a pirated copy of the South Park pilot on it? The devs used it for disc padding. It passed QA and Sony cert with no one noticing. Not sure if they got a fine from the ESRB but a second pressing w/o South Park was released.

Often, press preview builds were just DVD-Rs with messy labels handwritten in sharpie. But sometimes the PR team would go all out, with disc art (printable DVD-R) that was better than the retail release.

Not the first to say it, but there should be a bipartisan call for a foreign influence investigation. Seems odd to have a major party driven by non-citizens. There's a reason foreign political donations are prohibited. That's a lot of free advertising over on X. What is the value of those services?
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

Ubisoft making the Attack on Titan universe part of the Assassin's Creed canon was not on my bingo card.
I understand the draw behind crossovers when they work with the theme of the game, but this is Fortnite levels of random.

Comey indictment dismissed without prejudice due to Lindsey Halligan no being legally appointed. Given that the statute of limitations has lapsed, the "without prejudice" bit is likely moot as gov will be barred from refiling.

Single people vastly underestimate the costs of child care. It can easily cost $2500-$3000/month for normal childcare in a major city. Childcare is not subsidized and paying for licensed teachers, insurance, a school building, etc. is not cheap.

I used to have a desktop espresso machine.
It made 4 shots at a time.
4 shots fit perfectly in one coffee cup.
