  • It's absolutely infuriating how companies like Hungryroot are trying to lure customers with misleading coupon codes! Promising a whopping 30% off your first order is nothing more than a shallow marketing gimmick. What about the quality of the groceries? Are we seriously supposed to believe that slashing prices will compensate for subpar products? And let’s not even mention the “free gifts” – they're just another way to hook you into a cycle of disappointment! It’s time for consumers to wake up and realize that these promotions often come with strings attached. Stop falling for these cheap tricks and demand better!

  • The introduction of Franklin Richards in the new Fantastic Four movie is a glaring mistake that could ruin the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever. Seriously, does anyone at Marvel know what they're doing? Instead of focusing on the iconic Fantastic Four, we're getting yet another overhyped character that the majority of fans don't even care about! Franklin is supposed to be this game-changing figure, but all he's doing is cluttering an already chaotic storyline. It's infuriating to see the MCU straying further from its roots while trying to introduce unnecessary characters. The focus should be on solid storytelling, not on cramming in characters for the sake of it. It's time for Marvel to get its act together!

  • In a world where digital puppets are more popular than actual puppeteers, *Lies of P* has managed to pull off a neat little trick: it just surpassed 3 million copies sold right after the release of its DLC. One might wonder if the players are buying the game for its engaging storyline or just to prove that they can indeed endure another round of metaphorical whip lashes from a game that has its roots in the somewhat tortured tale of Pinocchio.

    Isn’t it fascinating how *Lies of P* has become the poster child for what some might call “the From Software Effect”? You know, that magical phenomenon where gamers willingly subject themselves to relentless difficulty while whispering sweet nothings about “immersive gameplay.” Perhaps the secret sauce is simply a sprinkle of existential dread mixed with a dash of “Why am I doing this to myself?”

    Let’s not forget the timing of this achievement – right after the DLC launch. Could it be that the players were just waiting for an excuse to dive back into that bleak, fantastical world? Or maybe they were hoping for the DLC to come with a side of sanity or at least a guide that says, “It’s okay, you can put the controller down after a while.” But no, why would anyone want a game that respects their time?

    Of course, with 3 million copies sold, it’s safe to say that the developers have struck gold. And what better way to celebrate than by releasing a DLC that essentially places a cherry on top of the suffering sundae? Because if there’s anything gamers love, it’s being rewarded for their relentless persistence in the face of overwhelming odds.

    And let’s take a moment to appreciate the irony here. In a world depleted of genuine sincerity, *Lies of P* manages to thrive by embodying the very essence of deceit. Is it a game about lying? Or is it a reflection of the players’ willingness to lie to themselves about how much fun they’re having while getting stomped on by a ridiculously oversized puppet?

    In the end, while we’re busy celebrating this achievement, perhaps we should also take a moment to reflect on our life choices. Because who doesn’t enjoy a good dose of self-reflection after being metaphorically roasted by a game that thrives on pushing players to their limits?

    So, here’s to *Lies of P* – the game that reminds us that when life gives you lemons, sometimes it's just a trap set by a puppet master. Cheers to the 3 million players who have chosen to embrace the lie!

  • Wētā FX’s expansion to Melbourne is being hailed as a major win in an industry riddled with closures and financial turmoil. But let’s not kid ourselves here—this is not a savior story; it’s a slap in the face to countless talented artists and technicians who are being left behind as the corporate machine churns on. While Wētā FX flaunts its 7 Oscars and 15 scientific and technical Oscars as if they’re badges of honor, the reality is that this expansion might just be another ploy to exploit cheaper labor and maximize profits at the expense of quality and creativity.

    In a time when studios are shutting down left and right, it’s baffling that Wētā FX thinks it’s a good idea to stretch its reach into Melbourne without addressing the glaring issues within its own operations. This is not a victory for the industry; it’s a desperate attempt to keep the lights on while ignoring the systemic problems that plague the visual effects sector. The industry is facing a crisis, and instead of addressing the root causes—overwork, underpayment, and the relentless pressure of unrealistic deadlines—Wētā FX is just trying to grab a bigger piece of the pie.

    Why are we celebrating an expansion that could potentially lead to more instability in the job market? Wētā FX’s move to Melbourne could mean more jobs, yes, but at what cost? What about the existing employees who are already stretched thin? What about the mounting pressure on creative professionals who are forced to churn out blockbuster effects at breakneck speed? This isn’t about creating a sustainable work environment; it’s about profit margins and shareholder satisfaction.

    The problem is not just with Wētā FX; it’s a symptom of a much larger issue within the film and visual effects industry. The constant churn of studios coming and going, along with the relentless demands placed on creative teams, reflects a broken system that prioritizes profits over people. We should be holding companies accountable rather than just cheering for their expansions. If we don’t start demanding change, we’ll continue to see a cycle of burnout, layoffs, and a steady decline in the quality of work that audiences expect.

    And let's talk about the so-called "innovation" that Wētā FX touts. What innovation can we expect when the focus is on expanding to new locations rather than investing in the workforce? New studios don’t equate to new ideas or better working conditions. It’s time to wake up and realize that this is a business-first mentality that’s doing nothing but harming the very fabric of creativity that the industry claims to uphold.

    In conclusion, while Wētā FX makes headlines for its expansion to Melbourne, we should be questioning the motives behind such moves. This isn’t a time for celebration; it’s a time for scrutiny. If we want to see real progress in the industry, we must demand more than just superficial growth. We need to advocate for a system that values the people behind the effects, not just the awards they rack up.

    With the support of some incredible backers, including the legendary Peter Thiel and a vibrant mix of retired athletes, the Enhanced Games have risen from mere speculation to a stunning phenomenon. It’s a testament to what can happen when passionate individuals come together with a shared vision! 💪🏼

    But wait, it’s not just about the competition. The Enhanced Games bring together a community—an electrifying atmosphere where everyone rallies behind one another, cheering for progress, growth, and the spirit of sportsmanship. Can you feel the energy? It’s contagious! 🙌🏼

    Now, I know some of you may have reservations about the unconventional aspects of the Enhanced Games, but remember, every groundbreaking idea faces skepticism before it takes flight. Just look at the history of sport and innovation! Every revolution begins with a single step, and the Enhanced Games are that bold leap into the future!

    So, let’s celebrate the audacity to dream, the courage to innovate, and the joy of witnessing the remarkable evolution of sports. The Enhanced Games remind us that limits are meant to be broken and that with the right mindset, anything is possible! So, keep dreaming and keep pushing those boundaries, because you too can be part of this incredible journey!

    Together, let’s embrace the spirit of the Enhanced Games! Let’s cheer on our athletes, support innovation, and be the change we want to see in the world of sports! 💪🏼

    At first it was dismissed as a crazy joke. Making the Enhanced Games a reality needed a Peter Thiel posse, a couple of retired swimmers, some MAGA money, and a whole lot of drugs.
