Thank you.

I work for a biopharmaceutical in the Bay Area, and a lot of our day-to-day funds were stuck in SVB. That’s been true for every biotech company that I’ve worked at. As I understand it, many VCs essentially require startups to bank with them. Every couple of months, I’d have to call Silicon Valley Bank to resolve an…

Phrasing it as a bailout in general is also off: the Fed caused the current problems by cratering the value of Treasury securities by raising the interest rate by almost 5% in a year, despite having lowered said rate in response to Covid.

Wow, this is just an uninformed take. The banking part is being helped, which is the part where people gave them money and said, “hey, keep this money safe for me so I have it available for my financial responsibilities, like payroll.”

Yeah, this topic has way too much nuance for Kotaku to cover, at all. But using flimsy pretexts to write articles about the hottest topic on twitter is pretty much the job description at gawker. At least, when there’s not actually relevant news making headlines.

You should probably add that the FDIC has said that the cost of this bailout will be paid for the banking sector as a whole through a special assessment (i.e. higher FDIC insurance costs), not by the taxpayers. That makes it different from the 2008 bailouts.

None of the Genesis Minis have Zero Wing built in.

I think you mean “Salvation” is a remake of “Damnation.”

Damn that’s a shame. At this point everyone knows Titanfall 2 had a surprisingly great campaign, but I’ve never seen another multiplayer game that combined the parkour movement and feeling of big, lumbering power in the mechs so fluidly.

EA spent so much time and money trying to make Battlefield 2042 into their CoD when Titanfall 3 was sitting on the table the whole time. So stupid 

Building decks to suit the featured zone is kinda the main thing keeping the game interesting for me. That said, it does seem like all the new or featured zones lately have destroy synergy and that’s getting a little stale.

Man, I loved the Altar of Death with my destroy deck. Deadpool basically worshiped at that altar, hahaha

I abused the hell out of shang chi when gamma lab was on focus

I haven’t played Snap in a month or so, so I’m a bit out of the loop. However, when I was playing regularly I appreciated the randomness and chaos of these weird zones that really make you experiment to deal with them. Without the chaos, it felt easy to fall into strategic ruts with a 12-card deck, which really…

Here’s an actual tip: If you care about achievements, pay your tab at Applebees or you will REGRET it.

I’ve run Black Panther up to 3.7 million points using Wong.  I have a screen shot somewhere.....

Wong can be OP as hell, with the right supporting cards.

Wong is kind of easy to mess with though as it has to be played first and then his power comes from other cards. You can drag him (Magneto), You can shut him down (enchantress), You can use Professor X to claim a spot since your opponent just kind of told you where his next card goes.

There’s multiple counters to Wong, and he requires other cards to really “go off”. That’s not true for Leader.
