Let’s be honest, any manufacturers/developers willing to embrace porn will successful. Everyone else is just picking gnat shit out of pepper, hoping it’ll turn to gold.

100% this. His movies are unwatchable at this point. I got through maybe half of Tenet and just gave up. Was loving the story but having to use subtitles and turn the volume up and down constantly, I just gave up.

I’ll buy a Herbie all day long!!!

No, but I do graphics and marketing. Having properly worded contracts is good enough CYA.

For the everyday person, it replaces a big monitor/TV.

I know immersion yada yada, but it’s really for watching media, playing video games or taking a Pornhub break. Meta/Apple et al really missed the mark on their target audience and price points.

Not shocking at all. We have daily localized shootings and mass shootings every couple months that make national news. One orange jackass, whether you’re a supporter or not, nobody gives a shit. People are more interested the shooter’s story not the shootee.

They Live and The Stuff. Watched them again recently and really enjoyed them.

Fuck Spez!

McDonald’s is just a joke at this point. Pretty much stopped getting food from them except for breakfast once in a while, but even stopped that. My usual is a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with extra cheese. It costs a whopping $6.08 in my area.

I said🖕you greedy McCunts, I’m making my own and found a copycat recipe that is really, really good and I honestly can’t tell the difference. I bought ingredients to make 12 sandwiches at $1.73 each and even had two extra patties leftover. A savings of $4.35 per!

Of course we are not including my labor costs, yada yada, but it proves the point. Not to mention McDonald’s pays pennies on the dollar buying in bulk, so even with labor, they are making a killing.

I’m no scientist but this seems obvious, as someone who’s had a saltwater aquarium and done maintenance myself.

I didi’t even bother with coral, the closest I got was an anemone. I had the tank in balance for about a year with a great ecosystem that all but took care of itself with minimal water changes. Then one long weekend vacation the power went out for several days and it was enough to throw things out of whack. I tried for a year to carefully get it back and never could.

Until we can stop/control climate change, it is a losing battle and even then, it will be difficult if not impossible to get them back to what they once were.

You guessed it with booklets or anything long format really.

As a 20+ year Adobe user, I tried switching about a year ago. Seems like the only way to give it proper go, was to dive in head first and force myself to exclusively use Affinity. Of course there’s a bit of a (frustrating) learning curve but overall it went pretty smooth. I genuinely thought I was going to make it work.

That was until I had to setup a 40 page catalog. Ran into various minor issues, but not insurmountable. IIRC the main issue that ultimately made me go back to InDesign was the handling of support assets and glitches as the catalog got more “heavy” with stuff.

I think I would have stuck with Affinity if I could go back and forth between Publisher/InDesign, but I couldn’t take what I started with and finish in the other app.

Wish I could switch to Affinity, Publisher just isn’t quite there yet in a print production environment.

Rob Schneider is a stapler!

Prepare for the sub cost to go up (again) to cover the cost.

No worries Max, our year’s sub is coming up in a month or two and we won’t resub. Planned to cancel anyway with the rate hikes. Congrats on your successful entshittification.

We’ve gone back to buying media (especially used on eBay) and putting it on our own server. Plus our Google TV also provides a boat load of free streams when we want something else or something random from our server.

The more the streaming greed grows, the more every single C-suite executive can fuck right off.

Calling all flat earthers, your dreams have been answered.

I used to be big pant, now I like big jacket.

The charge port is on the bottom.

They were too busy snorting toilet paper and getting relief loans.

Horse poop article. I fundamentally agree with the sentiment but there is no typographical control on the web. You barely have any control over design for that matter. Content, functionality and SEO are king, design and typography take a backseat.

Pick stuff that matches your customer’s branding as close as possible and call it a day.
