  1. The problem is that actually licensed anesthesiologists are refusing to administer these drugs, and that's assuming states can actually source the drugs needed. For a while they were making up random concoctions and buying them under fake names.
  2. Just got my booster and brought my mother along for hers. My wife is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Boosters for everyone. Now to just get my son vaccinated as soon as it's approved for 5yo.
  3. It's not that Nintendo doesn't give a shit about their old games. It's the opposite. It's that the people that made those old games still work at Nintendo and they're happy with those old games and see no need to make any changes to them, aside from maybe some bug fixes. The average Nintendo employee has been with the company for some fourteen years. Mario 64 is as nearly as valuable to them today as it was in 1996 because all the people in charge of that game still work for Nintendo. Miyamoto is still there. Kondo is still writing music there. Koizumi is still there and still working on Mario. The same goes for Tezuka. That still applies to even the first Mario Bros. That game was made by Miyamoto and Tezuka with Kondo handling the music. It doesn't really get any different with later games either and the next generation of Nintendo staff. Bowser's Fury was produced by Koizumi with everything else handled by the guys that did Mario Sunshine, two decades earlier.
  4. When your say immersive sim, I'm not sure those games come to mind. The first one that came to mind is Metro Sim Hustle. It's a subway train operator sim, but then after work you spend the money you've made on strippers and blow and maybe find yourself in debt and joining an underground fighting ring.
  5. Eh, what the DP and director were doing when they got shot is of almost no consequence for me. If Alec was pointing his gun toward people that's bad. If the victims walked in front of him while he was holding up the gun, that's also bad. Neither of those are properly respecting a potentially deadly weapon and blame goes to all. I know several people I trust with my life. If they have a gun that they say is empty, I don't want it pointed at me. If I check it and verify it's empty myself, I still don't want it pointed at me. Either way, none of that matters because the actual problem here isn't any of them, so I don't really care how that piece of the puzzle fits. All blame goes on the armorer and AD. Those two are too blame. They're the ones actually responsible for the guns and the safety on the set.
  6. I don't even care much for the GTA games, but I'd pick this up in VR. There are no good, open world in a big city VR games.
  7. I actually clicked on that and the first link was just Sackboy, Crash 4, and Astro.
  8. Because bros always miss the point of these movies. Remember how influential Wall Street was, leading to whole new generations of asshole traders?
  9. I've forced companies to move data centers across the country out of fear of hurricanes or blizzards. Like yeah, it's cool that your guys can drive to both of them and you save on airfare, but they're both on the same damn grid. The same hurricane will knock them both offline. I've used meteor strike, in a completely sincere sense, on more than one occasion. Terrorist attack works pretty well, depending the crowd. I find a large portion of my job is to convince people to spend money when they don't really want to. All risks are realized at some point. It just depends on your timeframe. At some point, the Earth will be swallowed by the sun and then you'll really wish you had backed up all your data to that reasonably priced colo in Alpha Centauri.
  10. You'd probably not be amazed how little it's actually put into practice. Company I work for was purchased and I was amazed that one of the new companies primary hubs only had a single Internet connection. Amazed because I've included multiple Internet connections in every building project I've ever managed. I asked them, what happens if the Internet went down, and they responded with "it's never gone down, but if it did I guess it would take out the Eastern US and parts of Europe". Lo and behold, highway construction went on to knock out everything on the Atlantic for a couple of days. Nothing like losing millions of dollars because nobody likes to mitigate risks.
  11. The latest police report says they found a mix of regular guns and disabled, prop guns on set. This was definitely down to poor standards, but they're just begging for mistakes to be made when they bring live ammo on a set with real guns and then use that live ammo in those real guns while storing them all on the same set and just hoping nobody ever makes a mistake. My entire career is based on the idea that people will always make a mistake at some point, and so the idea is to mitigate risk or contain the damage from those mistakes. These guys neither mitigated the risks real ammo on set brings, nor did they do anything to contain any potential damage. Even several misfires with these same guns on this same set led to no changes in protocol.
  12. If they're storing those same guns with the movie weapons and storing live ammo anywhere on set, that's just begging for fatal mistakes to be made.
  13. Weird gaming where you get thrown into the craziest places to just drag with is abundant. There's stuff like The Artful Escape which came out not too long ago and I rather enjoyed. I'd also mention Cruelty Squad, but @Commissar SFLUFAN already did. Games are all over the place visually moreso than they've ever been. For striking visuals you have Genesis Noir or maybe from a few years back ,Return of the Obra Dinn or Unfinished Swan. Why am I only thinking about black and white games now?
  14. Yeah, it also seems most of the guns on set were working guns that could handle live ammunition. All of this just seems like a really bag idea and I'm shocked someone want killed earlier. With all the live ammo on set, it makes more sense that there were accidental discharges during earlier filming. The fatal one was like the fourth misfire on set, right? I'm amazed it took this long for someone to get shot here.
  15. According to the article, they found a mix of live and blank on set. Tie that with earlier reports of them having target practice on set and I'm thinking the crew were having "fun" with live ammo on the old Western set.
  16. These guys were definitely playing target practice on set. There is no other reason for this... ‘Rust’ Investigation: Sheriff Says Three Guns, 500 Rounds of Ammunition Recovered WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza wounded last week after Alec Baldwin discharged a firearm on the set of the Western.
  17. It is. That's why he's showing up in the first ten episodes of the live action series, even though he doesn't show up in the anme until near the end. I'm actually there with you that I don't remember enjoying that episode much, but I think the combination of music and violence really struck a tone with a lot of people.
  18. That part is easy to put together. This is a movie that, like, Andy and his mom went to watch in theaters. The Buzz Lightyear toy that was hot the summer of the first Toy Story movie is a toy based on that movie. Pixar is just making the Buzz source material real. This would be no different than if Pixar made an actual series called Woody's Roundup that was supposed to be the TV series Woody was based on. It's like Kill Bill being the movie that the characters in the Pulp Fiction world watch.
  19. I think it's even more mush brain than that. I'm pretty sure those guys in the crowds really were chanting "Let's go Brandon" as they were the fans staying behind to cheer on the Nascar driver Brandon Brown, after his win. The mush brains said it sounded like "fuck Joe Biden", so it seems to have become some stupid meme thing. It's one of those Yanny/Laurel things, except everyone involved sucks.
  20. I like it. This is the game that had those uncomfortably racist enemy designs, right? I think I saw that it's still coming to Steam, so I might pick this up on PC.
  21. He just got his $150m yearly bonus a couple months back. As long as Activision makes those "changes" within the next great, he's not losing out on the actually important part of his compensation. He'll argue that he helmed those changes and was an example by taking the paycut and totally deserves another $200m bonus.
  22. The mainline series just isn't all that popular. Atlus, itself, is a pretty tiny developer. I have no idea how they're structured, but I imagine any resources spent on SMT are resources taken away from whatever Persona project they have going on, and they currently have like a million of those going on right now.
  23. That was actually my understanding as well. That's OK, though, because I'm totally on board for weirdo spinoffs like this.
