      >”[The Mandalorian & Grogu] is actually mostly meeting our ‘mid’ expectations,” one exhibitor said. “No one ever really thought that this would be a massive, colossal success, especially once their piss-poor [trailers] launched. The fan response so far feels like the consequence of making Star Wars not special and forcing it into a never-ending IP factory. They were wise to take a lot of time off after the Rise of Skywalker, but they spent that time making seven live-action shows, only one of which was consistently great.”

      Damn

      Every day the DT rolls over. Every day my goal is to not be awake for it. But alas.

      >”Ryan Gosling starred in the most zeitgeist-y crowdpleaser in years and will lead what appears to be Star Wars: Top Gun,” the exhibitor quipped. “So there is a reason to feel positive. Lucasfilm can’t possibly screw that up.”

      NO DON’T SAY THAT

      Was just watching Youtube and I got an ad for some gacha AI game that “completely plays itself on its own!”

      Auto battling mechanics, “AI generated skill loadouts”, automatic encounters and generated loot, auto-leveling, AI generated characters based on your own photo and more!

      And at that point I asked myself… why should I even play something like that in the first place? I mean it literally plays itself with no need for my input lol

      “What if we make it so swiping does the same thing as clicking to the adjacent button in the navigation menu, even though swiping is already implemented for scrolling through photos, and simply designate swipes initiated or ended in an arbitrary portion of the screen as navigation swipes?”

      – Every fucking social media development team for some fucking reason

      The buttons worked fine and avoided this bullshit where you want to swipe through photos and you’re taken to some entirely separate part of the app instead because you didn’t memorize the safe swiping area

      Bonus points to Meta for refreshing your feeds anytime you leave a section of an app for more than a few seconds because doomscrolling is the business model

      >There is a big problem with liberal democracy in that it makes people think the only thing they should do (or have to do) is vote. They don’t go outside and engage with or help their community. They just need to vote for the right person and everything will get better.

      Some incredible analysis in YouTube comments.
