The production was extremely high-quality. They had great sets, invented amazing computerized wire-rigging tech for the gravitational work, and were pioneers in the use of stabilized cameras to achieve spectacular shots that would have been impossible otherwise.

On top of that the CG for space scenes was great.

My home wifi is “Terok Nor”, and my mobile hotspot is “runabout”.

That was privateering. Privateers were basically PMCs.

American planner here. We don’t actually get to plan shit. We end up being the middlemen between developers and Council. We explain all the rules we didn’t get to make, the developers explain to council how hlthey don’t even want to follow those rules, then Council overrules us and gives the devs whatever they want.

More specifically, they’re just directives to federal employees. It’s the equivalent of your boss telling you how to do your job.

The US President doesn’t typically give out medals to Australians.

They’re super cheap, but also they serve a purpose. B-movies are a great start for upcoming directors, videographers, production designers, etc. You may have an assistant director from biger projects you want to promote, but since they’ve only worked under others you don’t want to let them potentially fuck up on a big production. Give them a disposable Christmas TV movie to test their ability to run a set on their own.

Actually, that cabin may be cheaper. Property is way more expensive in dense areas.

A major reason lots of people move to the country in retirement is because the land is cheaper and.they end up with a bigger house and more land for less than they were paying before because it’s cheaper land with lower property tax.

Trump needs the precedent to pardon himself and his allies from all the state charges coming their way if this ever ends.

The thing is, he plays 2 different roles in the film, and Mr Dawes’s accent isn’t nearly as offensive.

I remember when the Texas Lone Star Rail project between Austin and San Antonio finally got “fully funded.” I was in college taking a transportation systems course, and one of our guest speakers was the director of the project.

I realized how doomed we were when I found out she was the only employee of the project and only worked 20 hours a week - almost all of which was speaking engagements.

Because they’re in the epilog of the book maybe?

I get where you’re coming from, but awards shows shouldn’t be participation trophies. The panels should give the awards for each category to the games they think were the best in that category.

And games aren’t made by a single person. If they decided that E33 shouldn’t win Best Music because it also won Best Art Direction, that’s unfair to the composers and musicians who worked on E33.

It’s like ebay in 2003.

I have no issue with the Best Debut Indie and Best Indie being the same game.

If Silksong had been the voter’s best Indie, it couldn’t have won best debut because it wasn’t Team Cherry’s first game.

But if they’re going to give the best Indie award to E33, they kinda have to give it best debut. Otherwise they’d have to give one of the awards to a game that was not the best in the category.

Are you trying to say that any game that gets funding of any kind is automatically not worthy of winning?

I’m perfectly fine with people making money in exchange for an excellent product, and Expedition 33 is a fucking masterpiece.

He also has a financial interest in other rich assholes being afraid.

He started a high-dollar personal security company for right-wing billionaires called Foundation Security.

Lots of jobs that need unions are jobs that people don’t want to be working in a few years, because they’re terrible jobs with minimal benefits and shit pay. Those people can’t see that the reason the job is so shitty is because there isn’t a union. There’s a good chance that they’d actually want to stay with the job once the union transforms the working conditions and compensation.

Lots of people would be satisfied with a career in a “lesser” job like retail if the job didn’t suck. There’s nothing wrong with being a cashier, cook, custodian, phone attendant, etc for your whole working life if that’s what you want to do, and we should compensate people in those jobs accordingly.

Yeah, but to them it’s super cheap to buy and arm enough of us for their protection.
