    WB's weird rules over which characters can have so many versions running around simultaneously may have struck again.

    In a recent interview with TheWrap, CW’s entertainment president Brad Schwartz and overall company president Dennis Miller talked about keeping some shows from the old regime. Superman & Lois has apparently performed quite well in previous seasons, but it was allegedly Warner Bros.’ call to cap it at four seasons. “They don’t want a competing Superman product in the marketplace,” Schwartz explained, effectively laying the blame for the show’s end at 2025's Superman: Legacy from James Gunn.

    I was able to create a more compact gaming PC that matched my needs

    If you wish to create a gaming PC with a compact chassis to resemble a games console, an APU is the way to go. Using one such as the 8700G would allow you to use a smaller case, fewer fans to keep everything cool, and this would make for a quieter gaming environment. Eight cores are present on the 8700G with the ability to boost up to 5.1 GHz. The AMD Radeon 780M has 12 cores at 2.9 GHz. All of this is on a package with a TDP of just 65W. In my testing, 1440p gaming was possible but my main rig is connected to a 49-inch ultrawide 5K2K (5120 x 1440p) panel.

    Yes, though it’s collaborative. But we’ve painted rooms various colours, various things hanging up etc - though I can’t say the 200 odd books I’ve got lung around are displayed, but just stored in plain sight. 

    I helped my friends paint their house, and that was so complicated. She wanted stripes in certain areas, and I've never been good at painting.

    @Biggie Max winning a "Legacy Award" at the streamer awards right now. :o

     

    He didn't win best fighting game streamer so everyone thought it was over. :p

    Who's that? I tried finding a YouTube video but couldn't find one. I don't watch much streamers content.

    And here the draw distance really helps with these crazy large scale battles that take place over multiple city blocks sometimes. It can feel like nothing else when you are moving around because of that scale. Too bad for the developers it wasn’t named something else.

     

    Edit: Well, in this case their own name probably hurt this one’s reception the most 

     

     

    I didn't realize the battles would be that big! I'm even more excited to eventually play it.

  7. I haven't ever decorated any of my apartments. I don't hang pictures or anything else. I would normally just have a bed, a TV, and video games. I used to have a novel collection on a book shelf, but that was over a decade ago. A few times, when I moved, I started over with nothing.

     

    I always liked seeing how my friends decorated their homes and made an effort to make them feel more personal. It seemed less depressing compared to my home.

    At my last job, when they would go past the fresh date, we got to take whatever was left over! They still tasted perfectly fine to me. Sometimes I would get an entire box for free.

    WBD has reportedly decided to shelve the live action–Looney Tunes mash-up. It might be good business—but it’s also a reminder of the impermanence of art in the...

    It is now overwhelmingly likely that no member of the public will ever be able to see Coyote Vs. Acme. In fact, The Wrap reports that after outcry from filmmakers and onlookers over initial reports about plans to shelf the film, which was budgeted around $70 million, Warner allowed it to be screened for interested parties. But Warner did not inform Netflix, Amazon, or Paramount—all of which are said to have made “handsome” offers—ahead of time that there would be no budging from its initial asking price, which was somewhere between $75 million and $80 million.

     

    The entertainment industry, like all others, replicates this logic on a larger scale. Most analysts figure Warner will score at least a $30 million tax break for shelving Coyote Vs. Acme rather than releasing it. This is, on its face, immoral and anticompetitive whether you find morality and business competition to be one and the same or directly opposed: How can it be better to flush $70 million down the drain than to try to recoup at least some of it?

     

    And still, in the immediate sense, it’s almost certainly good business; the balance sheets will be cleaner this year. But it closes off any possibility that the film would be a hit—or adapted into a hit spinoff, or heavily merchandised, or simply good enough that it makes Warner more attractive to filmmakers who could bring it hits in the future. It’s shortsighted by the most craven measures and simply gross by any others. Yet tax law—and precisely nothing else—incentivizes the conglomerate to do something that, in a sane world or in a more competitive industry landscape, would alienate it to writers, directors, and stars.
