Most people who say things like “well that’s just the way the world works” in business often lack transformational thinking.

They fail to understand that the way things work today was created by people during a time where it worked differently.

Fan reaction to this is strange but I think people, deep down, still don’t respect video games as a storytelling medium - gamers included.

The idea of canon, multimedia storytelling is cool and can invite people into other mediums to experience other stories.

First details on Zach Cregger's ‘RESIDENT EVIL’:

• Takes place in Raccoon City during the events of the ‘Resident Evil 2’ game

• Filmed to be from POV of a normal guy including - first-person shooter action + wide lens shots over his shoulder

• Many easter eggs for the games including weapon progression & creature mechanics

Real fans stick with the artists they enjoy even through their weirder, “trying things out” phase. I can appreciate the attempt even if i didn’t enjoy the output - and I can look out for the next endeavor.

Back to the Common example: I still bought the Dreamer/Believer album!

I find music fandom today now to be strange. It’s almost as if you can’t critique artists you may love without other fans accusing you of being a hater.

I don’t come from that. I can’t imagine, as a Common fan for example, pretending to love “Universal Mind Control.”

What is this style called? Corporate Mission School?

No, it means they’re trying to use YouTube as a source of generating new paying subscribers for HBO Max.

James Gunn’s Creature Commandos is now getting a full free release on YouTube, which says everything you need to know about how the show performed on HBO.

The animated series was Gunn’s first official DCU project, but it never made the Nielsen charts — a clear sign that almost nobody watched it.

DC announced the move with a hype post: “You wanted monsters, you got monsters! Binge EVERY episode of Creature Commandos to celebrate 1 year of DCU peak: No skips. Pure chaos. LIVE on DC YouTube Dec. 22nd and 23rd.”

Of course, giving it away for free suggests they’re trying to salvage interest any way they can.

The blowback of the AI hype bubble will be a rise in anti-AI marketing and product positioning.

I’ll be curious to see how well it plays out and if it can drive success beyond public favor. But if there’s any time to do it, it’s now.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

It’s a polite reminder that people don’t always know what they’re talking about, and fans don’t always know what they want.

You have players here talking and commenting as if they work in the industry. They may be your target customer, but that doesn’t make them experts!

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

Brands choosing to dive into stranger culture war politics of the moment will absolutely come to regret it in three years time and likely won’t make it past 4.

Speaking solely from a marketing perspective: whoever is in charge of managing and protecting Sydney Sweeney’s brand is making some pretty big miscalculations

I couldn’t imagine waking up every day with enough money at my disposal to cure cancer and just simply choosing not to.

And keep in mind - many of these students are getting *loans*, not just grants. Money that they’ll have to pay back, one way or another.

Mocking the very people who are trying to get an education, get on their feet, and provide for themselves or their families is ridiculous.

[aarin brown @AarinB]

I had two jobs and an internship while going to college full time - and I still barely had enough money to make ends meet.

I had a roommate to split the bills and drove an old cash car that barely passed inspections each year.

Without FAFSA, I wouldn’t have *went to college.*

[Paww(Paul) @GangsterHebrew]

To all these people whining about FAFSA
