Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

You’re misconstruing residuals, which are paid to writers, directors, and actors when their product is aired or sold individually, with licensing fees, which are paid to the producers, who are occasionally actors, writers, and directors involved in the show.

oh yeah people going to churches here are a super tiny minority. Those who say are christian are probably baptised and that’s it.

They didn’t, because the studios claimed that was a loophole.

If I am WB and I show Supernatural on Max, I have to pay residuals. If I license the rights to Netflix, then there’s nothing saying Netflix has to give me viewer numbers, so I have no ability to pay if I wanted.

Also I don’t want to anyways and if you don’t…

It really isn’t that complex, though. The fundamental problem is that streamers (most of which are now owned by the production companies themselves) have decided that the existing rules shouldn’t apply to them because they’re “different,” in much the same way that Uber decided the taxi regulations didn’t apply to them…

They’ve been working on this for a few years now, just keeping the studio behind it a secret after the decision to change from Hardsuit Labs. Also “Fall 2024" is over a year away from today, and not 6 months.

Kotaku poorly paraphrased the original article. The Chinese Room has been working on the game for about two years, it just hadn’t been announced until now. The relevant bit from the PC Gamer interview actually says:

OOPS it feels like over 350 lmao

Being in the limelight has just melted his brain...and he was never the genius he sells himself as so.  If the S&P hadnt fucked up and made TSLA part of the S&P 500 he would have driven it into the ground, now....too many rich people have a stake in Tesla staying strong.  If it collapses it drags down too many…

I think what I’m enjoying the most about this whole Musk/Twitter/X debacle is that the low-key biggest f-you to Musk and probably what irritates him the most is that *literally* no one has stopped calling it “Twitter”.

I looked it up and in France 22.8% declared to be atheists, and 17.6% declared to be agnostics. And the rest who identify as Christians I am guessing is similar to the US where its become more a cultural identity than serious belief considering only 5% of the population in France attends weekly services.

I’d be shocked if this lawsuit makes it to the discovery phase.  Or gets filed in the first place.  He’s full of shit.

He made it to Paris? Paris, France? Across the Atlantic Ocean? The really big one, that ocean?

Okey dokey.

whose birth from a pregnant walker is considered by many to be a miracle.

“Religious fanatics in the zombie apocalypse” sounds absolutely tedious.

I almost wonder if whoever put in this little detail wanted the time to be just faster than the world record, but confused minutes and seconds.

The Last of Us is to The Walking Dead as Casablanca is to a monkey fucking a coconut.

And can do a Rubik’s Cube in 3 minutes, 12 seconds! ...which is a passable time for somebody who has gotten the hang of the “beginner’s method” but hasn’t really focused on getting their time down. The world record is 3.13 seconds.

If most viewers are anything like me (a sickening premise, obviously), they’re just bored of TWD. It’s been 13 years. The pilot was excellent, the first season was good, second through maybe fifth seasons were decent. As I recall it’s been downhill since. The whole show became a soap opera at best, and a gloomy…

“can recite the names of all the world’s countries and capitals”

It’s been how many years since the outbreak in-universe, why is it that nation-states still seem to meaningful exist as some kind of useful touchstone?
