Discord has been caught lying.

Discord caught ditching its current age verification provider for Persona after bypasses appeared everywhere.

They promised "facial scans never leave your device" and no uploads, but now they send your IDs and data to a third-party company.

Marty at Id did ask for a video from me, but there was a miscommunication about when he needed it, so I didn’t get it done by the actual anniversary…

The state for CS2 right now.

When Season 4 is out, time to pick your poison:

[WarOwl @TheWarOwl]

The better someone is at Counter-Strike, the more of an asshole they are, which is completely counter-intuitive.

Yelling at your bottom fragger for tanking your elo does not make them a better player mid game, it only antagonizes them and makes them play even worse, tanking your elo further.

The optimized mindset for winning is stoicism, only focusing on the things that are within your control. You cannot chose your teammates in a solo queue, and you can't play the game for them. The best thing you can do is give your calls and play your best.

So if you want to be toxic, don't do it to the poor bottom fragger, do it to the other team, because at least then it helps you win.

Hollywood is surly changing. I can't even imagine how Hollywood would keep their consistency towards their presentation in their work of art.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on Rogan taking about how Netflix has changed filmmaking.

A major considerations is dealing with distracted viewers. To keep them tuned in, “you re-iterate the plot 3-4x in the dialogue because people are on their phones.”

Then, in action films, you change the ordering of climatic fights.

In traditional action films, you’d have “three set pieces” in every act (I, II, III) and each would “ramp up” (spend the big money on third set piece).

But streaming has to hook viewers within 5 minute, so the incentive is to put a major battle or action sequence much earlier.

Also, the directors have less incentive to make a film look great because so many people watch on laptops and phones.

They do say that streaming allows for more bets on risky projects since the theatre economics are geared towards IP, sequels and super-heroes.

Example: an independent film with a $25m budget would spend $25m on marketing (1:1 ratio). But since it splits box office with the theatre, the film needs to make $100m (1/2 of which is $50m) just to break even.

They’re realistic about the state of film and call it a supply-demand issue. If the demand is for at-home viewing (eg. Netflix 300m+ subs), then filmmaking approach will change to feed the algo.

When there’s demand for theatre, Damon will go team up with Christopher Nolan to make “The Odyssey”.
