"What's a poster you had in your room growing up ?" I had this one. I received it as a member of the "Master of the universe Club", which was basically about receiving physical mail once a month. (Cool stuff for a kid to receive a regular letter at the time).

The economy is crazy, and investors have lost all notion of reality.
- "Anthropic is telling they will make $30 trillion in revenue.
- Haha, this is so dumb that everyone is surely laughing at them right now.
- *silence*
- Please tell me nobody is taking that seriously...

I'm currently playing Midnight Suns for the first time. I love it so much that I bought the season pass in the middle of my playthrough, which I rarely do.

A few months ago, I had a couple interviews with EA. Each time, as I personally experienced two layoffs, I asked bluntly the same question (below) And each time, they answered they had no idea what's going to happen, and tried to convince me as much as themselves that everything was fine.😔
Following the recent acquisition, I understand that the company will now have a debt of $20B. So I feel that there is a high probability of mass layoff in the coming months. Is there any information you can share to reassure me regarding this possibility?

Happy Bastille Day to everyone celebrating! 🇫🇷 Let's remember that democracy is not a given, and that we must literally fight to obtain and preserve it. 💪
Remembering that It is not a peaceful protest, on July 14th 1789, that removed an authoritarian regime and brought democracy in France.

Cute seeing a US tabloid telling the rest of the world they can't handle the emotions of football. Fans outside the US are trained to endure these emotions, because they support teams that can be relegated and promoted (no "franchise" cheat code), and knockout phases are not endless "best of 7".

During the past months I played: -Mass Effect 1,2,3 as fem Shepard -Control as Jesse Faden -Now playing ME Andromeda as Sara Ryder It was fun, and my manhood didn't feel threatened at any point. I will gladly play as Fey in the incoming GoW. Incels doesn't need Kratos, they need professional help.

Alpine should indeed be blue and not pink (It has a different branding than Renault) Their first year as Alpine in 2021 was pretty close. But BTW has the habit of imposing their colors when the main sponsor, which is kind of sad. Like Force India a few years ago.

Just finished playing: 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 Edit a live TV news broadcast in a dystopian Not-Britain-1980s. 👍: Super cool concept. Great live acting. Choices and different endings. 👎: Too many things to do simultaneously for my old brain. Very bizarre "Tax-the-Rich-will-lead-humanity-to-its-doom" vibe.
