It’s less about profit and more about sustained growth. During the COVID lockdowns publishers saw a big bump in cash flow due to increased sales and subsidies. That caused them to hire new employees en masse among other investments because in the corporate world there is no such thing as leaving money unspent. Money needs to earn more money because capitalism and shareholders.

After the lockdowns, that extra cash flow receded quickly. The response from publishers to keep their growth rate from also falling is to lay off employees and reduce risks.

Nerds don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo because they’re too hung over from May the Fourth.

Voiced by Kat Dennings in the Audible version, so definitely yes.

That’s why GT will always be canon to me instead of Super.

Why does Jason Todd, the largest Robin, not simply eat the others?

(More of a Tim Drake fan, myself.)

DBZ has the best villains-turned-allies. I don’t think any of them could be considered morally “right” though, so I guess that means Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha and Tien all have dumptruck asses in canon.

I thought Cabinet of Curiosities was about 50/50 hit-and-miss, but Dreams in the Witch House was definitely one of the good episodes. Rupert Grint needs more work.

We’re getting so close.

I have the opposite problem. I see a lot of funny memes but I had to check Reddit to find out about the Baltimore bridge collapsing. It’s probably because I have a lot of communities and instances blocked because of too many crappy people on them. News communities tend to attract a lot of people with polarized opinions so I had to get rid of a lot of them for the sake of my mental health. The tradeoff is it’s harder to stay informed.

I don’t have an account on Reddit so I just check the front page for headlines and don’t bother with the comments. Less engagement makes it easier to ignore the idiots, whereas on Lemmy I’m compelled to interact more.

Click-through is tough to achieve. Most people won’t click on a link to leave the site they’re on unless they’re highly compelled. That’s why most people only ever read the headline.

The soulsborne games. There are a lot of bad souls-likes and also a few good ones. But the Fromsoft games themselves are impeccable. They could keep making the same thing over and over and I’d eat it up like a diabetic in an insulin factory.

I can’t wait until we can start appending “lemmy” to our search strings in order to find useful results.

That’s the one. I felt bad leaving without a word but it was spur of the moment. I just got the sudden realization like I was a teenager still hanging out in the McDonalds Play Place and quietly noped out the door.

Not that I have anything against gen z. I just couldn’t relate to most of what they were saying. So I guess a better analogy is that I was like an old man wandering around the mall surrounded by teenagers. Except malls are dead now so gen z still won’t relate. Hence: bumbling grandpa.

I also joined the RetroDaze forum before that but there were only two or three other active users and I got the impression at least one of them was an “I voted for Trump” type of guy.

I was active on an “Old Web Revival” forum for a while last year. I was expecting it to be populated by nostalgic gen x and millennials, but it turned out to mostly be zoomers romanticizing the '90s and thinking they could save the internet with Neocities.

After realizing I was the oldest person there I felt like a bumbling grandpa telling meandering stories of the way it used to was, so I eventually left. I haven’t been able to find another retro nostalgia forum since then.

The lottery ticket comes with mystery and suspense. Even if you could buy more tickets with the $5, the ticket has more value to me based on its origin. What if the street man is a wizard or from the future? Gimme that ticket, future street wizard.

It also killed all of the other planned unnecessary in-between-quel movies, so we should thank it for that.

I assumed it was a German word.

This could be a Moby album cover.
