I am once again thinking of William Shatner going through a profound existential crisis after being in space, trying to explain the terrifying emptiness he felt whilst Jeff Bezos sprayed champagne in his face and interrupted him to say 'WAZZUUP' whilst dabbing to Barenaked Ladies
I've really come around on small talk. I used to think it was shallow and vapid, but a lot of people who say they don't do small talk usually just aren't good at talking. small talk serves a purpose! it lets you establish a baseline and find topics for big talk

🔺 triangle is red. it's the pointiest, the most hostile.
🟢 circle is green. it's the roundest and friendliest.
🟦 square is blue. it's neutral but still has personality.
this was maybe the worst part about my last job. having 3 hours of billable work per day combined with no one wanting to admit it. I would have to do this elaborate theater of stretching work out and making things up that took more effort than the work itself. deranged!
@Kulambq I think the worst part is having to pretend to work. I don't think people mind working hard. But a lot of offices jobs require you to simply be there. It's not about productivity but time.
A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.
You guys know how often times twin babies have delayed speech because they babble to each other and end up learning what the babbles mean instead of actual language. Do you think Mario and Luigi were like that
It's crazy how exponentially complex a function needs to be to make gameplay actually fun vs simply functional. You can write a jump function with 2 lines of code, but it takes thousands more to create the 50+ micro-nuances of the jump to make it actually feel fun.
I can’t watch How It’s Made ever since the time I panicked and thought I was in a simulation because the narrator said, “Then, the vegetables are prepared in a preparing solution, to prepare them for the next stage of the prep process: preparation.”
Timothée Chalamet says that Josh Safdie would tell him to tap into the ‘ModdedController360’ part of himself in ‘MARTY SUPREME’
“He’s like ‘That part of you, the hustler part of you, the swaggerful part of you’”

I watched “Avatar: Fire and Ash” in 3D IMAX. People often say, “God is in the details,” but truly seeing that philosophy carried through in the act of creation is not an easy thing to do. This film shows absolutely no compromise, right down to the finest details, in the construction of the Avatar “universe.” It was magnificent.
For the past 40 years, I’ve been weaving entertainment and art alongside the evolution of cutting-edge digital technology. I’m a creator on the “digital side.” DEATH STRANDING was also shot and produced using technologies developed for Avatar.
Lately, films shot entirely in analog, without CG or VFX, have been increasingly praised. Even movies shot on film are celebrated, while digital works are sometimes dismissed with comments like, “Anyone can make it easily if it’s digital.” But that is a serious misunderstanding. CG works are also created by people. Countless actors, artists, and programmers pour their thoughts and passion into them, breathing life into the work.
Today, this film gave me renewed “pride” and “courage” as we look toward the future. It made me feel positive again about continuing to pursue “new things” using digital technology. Thank you, James Cameron. And I was also happy to see Kevin Dorman on the screen. He did so many performances for us on the set of DEATH STRANDING too. 🙏🙇🏻🫶😍
