Great, now we'll never get the plot payoff for the Chevy Tahoe! I'll never sleep soundly again!
To the surprise of no one except for the showrunners

We cover conspiracy theories, spiritual abuse, and religious and right-wing extremism. We cover showmen and charismatics suffering from King Victim Complex. Last week we had to study a goddam assassination attempt.
But sometimes we get to peek into the worlds that younger people are making within our cursed digital environments, and we realize they might be laughing at some of the problems that fill us olds with despair right out of existence.
Gaming journalist and Master of Divinity Riley MacLeod joins Matthew to talk about whether the hit indie game Cult of the Lamb might be all the inoculation against cultic dynamics that generation Alpha ever needs.
Show Notes
Riley MacLeod - Aftermath
Man, just looking at that still, you really have to wonder why they dropped the ball so bad. The practical effects in season 1 were stellar, and even some of the Covenant stuff wasn't bad. Their decision to focus on Chief as a person really feels like they thought Halo was a silly little video game for kids, so they had it make it all mature.Great, now we'll never get the plot payoff for the Chevy Tahoe!

There's an event called Asian Games, where countries that are in Asia compete in various sporting events. In 2022, they added e-sports category, featuring DOTA 2, League of Legends, Street Fighter V, EA FC Online, PUBG Mobile, and bunch of other games.There will be Olympic games in e-sports, starting 2025.
In Saudi Arabia in 2025, then held every second year between the Summer and Winter games.
I don't care about e-sports, and I feel the Olympic games as a brand get diluted if an event is held every year.
Well, we know anyone that is LGBTQ ain't going over there. I can't blame them, and will not be watching either.There will be Olympic games in e-sports, starting 2025.

I have a feeling this strike was piggybacked by that Activision union a day earlier:SAG-AFTRA Calls Strike Against Major Video Game Studios
Last September, nearly 35,000 of the union's members voted to authorize a strike. "Enough is enough,” stated union president Fran Drescher.www.hollywoodreporter.com
The Actor's guild are striking again, this time to get more decent compensation (salaries have not kept up with inflation) and to stop them from scraping their acting in video games for AI. 98 % of the members was in favor of the strike when it was authorized last september.
Huh. I guess Microsoft kept their word.I have a feeling this strike was piggybacked by that Activision union a day earlier:
Activision Blizzard's ‘World of Warcraft’ game developers vote to unionize
Workers on the development team for hit video game ‘World of Warcraft’ have voted to unionize, marking the latest entrant in a wave of unionizing efforts in the video game industry.www.latimes.com
Unless they've signed a binding agreement that will lead to ruinous fines if they break it, I don't believe them for an instant.It lead me to find out that Microsoft has promised to not interfere with workers unionizing
This is the kind of situation in which I don't at all mind being proven wrong.Huh. I guess Microsoft kept their word.
To be clear, me quoting you was not me going "nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, you made the wrong call~~", it was me thinking you might appreciate to get an update on this.This is the kind of situation in which I don't at all mind being proven wrong.
You have a point, but the grandeur of Rapture added loads to the ignominy of its fall. I'm not sure Netflix is capable of coming up with something equivalent.
Didn't know it was happening in the first place, but this could actually be a good thing. Over-budgetting anything rarely leads to good products
Maybe they could still pull off the grandeur if the original idea was just to throw moar cgi into it, but part of the cuts involved scaling back on that and let practical effects do most of the of the heavy lifting.You have a point, but the grandeur of Rapture added loads to the ignominy of its fall.
