Game production budgets are too high.

The vast majority of people who are fans of the American Office have never seen the British Office and didn’t even realize it was an adaptation. The British Office was a cult show.

Weirdly I’d say Rick sounds more similar but the performance is a more different, while Morty sounds more different but the performance is more similar.

Drums.

Rick sounds... less assholey. Like there’s a tinge of joy rather than hubris in his delivery. Wonder if that has anything to do with the actor or if that’s part of the story of the season.

So, wait, this is a reboot, not a revival? That seems like an odd choice. The characters are what people loved about The Office, not the premise. The premise is that there is no premise, it’s literally just a workplace comedy. While I’m sure good writers can write a new batch of good characters, it seems like…

“The economics aren’t sustainable.” -- Microsoft’s entire strategy in video gaming

Oh my god, thank you for this anecdote. Here I was using evidence to base my understanding of Sega’s position in gaming history, like a fool.

Microsoft can’t afford Nintendo. If the market value of Blizzard/Activision is $69 billion, Nintendo is like $300 billion, minimum, and that would be if they WANT to sell. Not only is their revenue twice what Act/Blizz’s is (even given the fact that they’re at the tail of their current generation) but the Super Mario…

Microsoft Exec: We’ve failed at every stage of being a console game manufacturer. Even our greatest triumph, the XBox 360, where we had a huge advantage initially, we ended up in third place behind PS2 and Nintendo Wii. I need ideas, folks. Radical, earth-shattering ideas.

I would say it’s got to be Tobert, but that’s basically rehashing last season’s killer. (Doing it for the content.) 

I am reminded of the negotiation scene in Fear of a Black Hat (an incredibly underrated early-90s mockumentary).

> I could post a pic of a guy with a traffic cone shoved up his ass while a kid stands 3 feet from him and you will just say that’s nothing. BTW that happened at pride a few years ago.

The balls, they are literally taped into a position so as to make this impossible.

AGREE SO MUCH ABOUT MEN SHAKING THEIR BALLS COMMENT!

I agree. Children should never watch plays like Peter Pan, movies like the Madea series or Mrs. Doubtfire, or TV shows like Dancing with the Stars. These are NOT family-friendly forms of entertainment and should be rated R for (R)endi Is A Fucking Moron.

Everybody: Microsoft buying studios to get their popular games off Sony platforms (and for no other reason, they’ve admitted as much) is anti-consumer.

Micosoft stans: I’M JUST GOING TO WALK IN YOUR DIRECTION WITH MY ARMS SWINGING AND IF YOU DON’T MOVE AND I HIT YOU, THAT’S YOUR FAULT. JUST LIKE IT’S SONY’S FAULT…

With ES6 being forcast for 2026, we’ll see it in early 2028.

You mean a game from the studio that Microsoft bought specifically to keep them off Sony platforms won’t come to Sony platforms!?

If Musk only wants smart people to have kids, why does he keep having kids?
