It's because it's safer from an investor perspective. A reboot of a successful movie and continuations in established series have more predictable revenue than an original story, which is why originals have become more rare. It all comes down to money.

I'll save you a click, some people are freaking out on twitter because GameStop tweeted an ad for "Microsoft Game Pass" instead of "Xbox Game Pass". GameStop has since deleted the tweet.

That's pretty much all it said.

even if I just slightly feel like one dislikes me a little

This line stuck out to me because of what I'm currently working through. I have no idea if we share this issue, so please take this with a grain of salt. Is it possible you struggle with people pleasing? If you perceive yourself to only have value when others are pleased with you, someone being displeased with you hits like a freight train. When someone gets mad at me on the road, even if it's not my fault, I can't stop thinking about it for MONTHS. It made me cry a lot as a boy. I don't think this accounts for all of what you're talking about, but it could be a piece of it.

I've been really enjoying Aragami recently, but it requires installing Proton GE to get the cutscenes to work after the first level. It's such a neat stealth game.

Currently doing that myself! I'm 33 and I've been a customer service rep and account executive for 10 years in manufacturing and supply chain. I found an entry level analyst position in insurance and it's going really well. Money is very tight, but I finally enjoy what I do and I like where my career is headed.

I was. As a boy, I had undiagnosed ADHD and had a terrible time managing my emotions. It wouldn't take much for me to cry, like getting out in dodgeball. It was easy ammo for the bullies. My parents were very controlling which stunted my social growth and I had very few friends. I remember one of the boys being dared to put his arm around my shoulders at lunch. I thought he legitimately wanted to connect with me until he started counting out loud. All I could do was put my head down in shame...I don't look back on my childhood very fondly. Things were rough.

It's so funny to me that we have to circumvent the site's paywall in order to read an article about pirating.

That illustration with the hook through the film reel is so clever, I love it.

I work in insurance and it's wild how many insurance carriers have pulled out of Florida and California due to natural disasters. The market is vastly shifting to smaller carriers in these regions.
