"AA games" are a bait & switch — every single "AA" being hyped was funded by major publishers and developed with massive outsourced teams. "AA" really just means "industry plant title that might as well be AAA" but I'm sure these publishers love the way people are falling for... show more

My point is really that even if there is some distinction that makes a particular "AA" studio somehow distinct from the AAA core of the industry, the term is never going to be used in a consistent way and contextually means "wholesome chungus game I like"

If Helldivers 2 is a "AA chungus outsider game" with the way Sony has mucked around with it, then this term is already cooked

Okay but the games are genuinely better. I don’t care how many AA meetings they attend

I think you need to up your schizo meds. AA studios only focus on one game at a time, have smaller teams that communicate better, less corporate BS, and when you remove the waste some have budgets withing range of AAA. So it's not shocking they can make games that compete

Nah, AAA is the real lie. Modern day AA games are 2000’s AAA. Modern day AAA is money laundering.

AA refers to budget and manpower, but you are correct so many "AA" studios and games are actually AAA, people are just using "AA" to denote a game is good. I have continuously argued that BG3 is a AAA game, Larian's last game as AA developer was Divinity Original Sin 2.

Hey if it's a good game that's fine but let's not pretend games published by Nacon and using a massive established IP are "outsider" games

"Indie" has the same problem but to a thankfully lesser extent. Will only get worse as AAA continues to fail and this new AA push with it.

Giannis was asked about the 65-game rule for regular-season awards: "I'll be honest with you. Through 13 years of being in the league I think I've played 65 games every year. I'm still going to try. I think I'm still going to play 65 games, but it's hard. If you want to be a really good player, help your team get deep in the playoffs, and then come back at it and play 65 games again. I've been All-NBA the last 9 years in a row— 7 times first team. It's hard to be consistent. Just putting that rule there, it doesn't give you a break. The margin of error is hard, like you get one injury and you're off the race. I might not make it. Jokic might not make it. LeBron's not going to make it. Wemby might not make it. "I was all for it because it could benefit me at first but as I get older I'm like 'ah take it off, take it off', but these are the rules and you just gotta play by the rules. Who's going to be available, just Shai? So it's up in the air."

ELON MUSK: Instagram makes people sad. On Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do. So, by design, people are posting pictures of when they're really happy, they're modifying those pictures to be better looking, even if they're not modifying the pictures, they're at least selecting the pictures for the best lighting, the best angle, so people basically seem way better looking than they basically really are, and they're way happier seeming than they really are. So, if you look at everyone on Instagram, you might think, man, all these happy, beautiful people, and I'm not that good looking, and I am not happy, so I must suck, you know. And that's gonna feel sad. So, when in fact those people you think are super happy, actually not that happy. Some of them are really depressed, they're very sad people."

Take 3 minutes and listen to Zachary Levi speak about how Kamala Harris voters are not the enemy: “Within my industry, as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very liberal town, and this (endorsing Trump) very well could constitute career suicide.” “We are being inundated every single day with poison, not just in the foods that we're eating and not just in the pharmaceuticals that are being shoved down our throats, in the images that we are looking at, and the audio that we are hearing through our media we are being poisoned and lied to.” “Recognize that all of the people on the other side that still believe that Kamala is the answer are being lied to. They are not the enemy. They are not evil. There is evil at the top of that food chain, but the American people that believe that Kamala is the way they are not evil people.” “So to the best that we can do, may we practice grace. May we practice forgiveness. May we practice patience so that as we go to the polls, as we talk to our friends and our family and we encourage people to go and look, do not be baited into their attacks.”

ADAM CAROLLA: “If my kid was like, ‘I’m gonna go out and antagonize ICE officers,’ I’d be like, ‘Can’t you just get on that nice Honda 125 I just bought you, do a few hot laps around town?’ “Here’s what I wanna say to everyone. You are relying on these people to do something that’s not within human capabilities, which is see red, adrenaline dump, scuffle, pepper spray, have no idea who’s armed and who’s not armed, and not have anybody’s gun go off prematurely.” “That’s what you’re asking. It’s not gonna happen, but not as long as human beings are carrying the gun. So you will get shot. You can go, ‘Well, that’s not right.’ Well, I agree. It’s not right. Absolutely. But stay home. Stay home will be the answer. And then, if you stay home, by the way, then they can just do their f*cking job and that’ll be that like they do in many other municipalities.” “But you guys won’t do that.

BlackRock's Tony Kim (Tony Kim): Chips are not a commodity. " This notion that they were a commodity was just a false notion." "People always said, 'Chips are a commodity.' But yet they have the highest profitability of any company in the world." "This industry is very interesting. There were hundreds of chip companies, and then systematically over 20 years, now there's just a few." " The number of companies have collapsed, and then those that have survived are behemoths with huge pricing power—the complete opposite of commodity." "And by the way, venture capital, Silicon Valley, until recently, never funded these companies."

The first Muslim Islamic Cultural Event was held in Clovis, California The response was thousands and thousands of comments showing outage, pushback and “hate” against the Islamic event Now the media is letting everyone know leaving comments like that is wrong “It wasn't like 10 comments, it was thousands of comments and people commenting on comments. And these comments weren't something that was funny. These were people's actual beliefs — and a lot of it, I believe, is just people not being, uh, fully knowledgeable about other cultures. But just reading that and knowing that these are our neighbors, these are our friends” They then continue on for minutes about how Muslims and Islam need to be shown love and acceptance News flash: If ALL comments are full of rage over a first Muslim event, it because Americans don’t want these people in our country. We don’t want them in our society, we don’t have to tolerate their events Send them all back while we still can before we become the UK. Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization

It was really interesting to learn that The Prince was not unique for its time for being a book written for only a single person to ever read. Before the printing press, books were expensive and cumbersome to copy. And even after printing was established, elites often wanted proprietary insights. So they’d pay someone to write a book just for them, or just for their kids. Some of these books have survived, like The Prince. But maybe most of them are lost. The funny thing is that maybe the era when books were mostly written to be published widely was the exception, and we’re returning to the Renaissance standard. Already most of the words I read in a given day are written just for me by AI. As AIs get to human level and beyond, we might be back with masterpieces that are only ever read by one or two people.

You would be surprised how many times I’ve had this conversation 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not all AAU programs are equal. There are some good ones out there for sure. I benefited as a player by playing for a club. But then… There are some bad ones. And with the bad ones comes a lot of wasted time, money and effort. Empty promises when it comes to development and exposure to college coaches. Some kids on these teams can’t make 10 free throws in a row or dribble with their weak hand but we have them playing 80 games a summer expecting it to magically improve. Then they go back to their HS Coaches as the same player they were the year before but expecting different results. Now kids should make more time for their own skill work as well but some of these programs require 4-8 hours a week at their “practices” plus travel and games every weekend…. Have you seen some of these AAU practices? Skill development is non existent in a lot of these. But isn’t the point to make the kids better? Just get better every summer and have a great high school season then worry about getting recruited. Some of these kids are on their JV teams expecting to get scholarship offers 🤦🏻‍♂️ There are bad trainers and bad coaches out there as well. I understand that. This is just my perspective and experience with the kids that have been in the gym with me over the last 7 years.

Have you seen some of these AAU practices? Skill development is non existent in a lot of these. But isn’t the point to make the kids better? Just get better every summer and have a great high school season then worry about getting recruited. Some of these kids are on their JV teams expecting to get scholarship offers 🤦🏻‍♂️ There are bad trainers and bad coaches out there as well. I understand that. This is just my perspective and experience with the kids that have been in the gym with me over the last 7 years.

"Looks like it got a little hot out there, sir!" Wing Commander (1990) is often considered one of the earliest "AAA" games, even though the term itself didn’t exist yet. Chris Roberts’ game reportedly cost about five times more to develop than a typical hit title of its era, making it by far the most expensive game at the time, and raising eyebrows everywhere. It featured very advanced graphics, digitized speech, a cinematic story campaign with branching paths, countless cutscenes, and a “Star Wars in space” feel that made it stand out massively. At times, it genuinely felt like you were starring in an interactive movie rather than "just" playing a game. Its success raised the bar for the entire industry. Publishers were now forced to invest far more in production quality, bigger budgets, and marketing. Wing Commander sold millions of copies, and helped establish the space sim genre. The game not only paved the way for even larger budgets in its own sequels, but it also pressured other developers and publishers to keep up. Whether this was ultimately good for the industry could still debated today. On one hand, it started an era of cinematic, high-production games. On the other, it made it significantly harder for small teams and low-budget titles to compete, effectively throttling the kind of creativity that had been a hallmark of 1980s game development. With the birth of Wing Commander, the industry had entered a whole new territory.

I'm not really interested in comparing these religions. It's not a competition. I have huge fundamental disagreements with Judaism, but thank you to Judaism for not inspiring thousands and thousands of terrorists that are killing Americans and oppressing people worldwide. I don't think you want to get into a competition about which one is “worse” theologically. Islam obviously takes the cake when it comes to destruction, violence, marginalization, and oppression in every single place that it is popularized, not just in the Middle East, thanks to mass migration and Europe and now in the United States as well. It's not comparable when it comes to the effect of a particular ideology. I feel that some people on the Right have gotten this really strange brain worm that has made them think that if they're nice about Islam, then the terrorism won't come for you. It's just not true.

American Healthcare Worker reveals what he finds in the test results of sick children He’s brought to tears by the damage being done by vaccines every day to our kids “Aluminum every time, heavy metals every time” “I don't think I can keep doing testing on these vaccine injured kids, man. These parents bring these kids in that are rough and wanting blood work. You know, you gotta pin these kids down and like, I just can't do it. — Aluminum every time, heavy metals every time. My heart broke today. I love my kids very much. I'm very grateful for that and I'm grateful to be able to help some people that are just in a spot. But it was a tough day. Hug your kids.”

Justin Rose reacted to another near miss at the Masters: “I think just chance that got away obviously. You know, I was by no means kind of free and clear and was nowhere kind of close to having the job done, but I was right in position. You know, Amen Corner, without really hitting a bad shot but just not good shot, not committed enough on maybe 11 shot specifically, it was kind of like two saves. “There was a lot of club and it was not -- and it was a bit of a safe lie and I kind of felt it in the fairway with the wind direction and just wasn't able to really trust that one in there. “Yeah, because I was really in control. First ten holes I felt like I was -- yeah, I was. And the mentality was to run through the finish line not just try and get it done. I was playing great, but just momentum shifted for me around the Amen Corner.” “These are the tournaments I focus on. These are the tournaments why I practice. These are the tournaments that get me going that sort of extra mile to sort of have to show up and keep being in these great arenas is kind of why I practice, yeah.” Justin shot rounds of 70, 69, 69 and 70 to finish T3 for his 8th top 10 at the Masters. Another incredible performance. Justin ROSE The Masters

Why "Trump Accounts" for Kids Are Actually Not Good This will be a controversial and much disliked take I presume. I'm a huge advocate for investing, financial literacy and especially for using savings accounts to create generation wealth. I'm especially fond of this practice being taught to the next generation. When I saw these Trump Accounts, my first thought was how great this is. But at closer glance, this is just yet another handout for some, financed by all, while we're completely broke. It barely educates anyone, the accounts are not self-managed, they have fees, the managers, banks and investments are ultimately hand picked by bureaucrats or their chosen surrogates and it gives massive leverage to not only the bureaucracy itself but the money managers chosen to administer and run these accounts. There are plenty of self-directed accounts that already exist, other tax benefits that couls be utilized or education that could be provided. But instead, it's just another handout. The exact same reason we advocated against Student Loan Forgiveness is just being repackaged in a different way and serving a very similar purpose. So many people will fall for for this because it comes from your own side or your own team and it seems great in theory. As usual, there are many ways this could have been done that would have really helped people. Handing out free money isn't the way and never will be.

I’m not a missile expert, but does anyone else think that the warheads on these missiles seem to be small? Maybe it’s just the angles, but the explosions seem minimal, I haven’t seen any buildings falling over, and I’ve yet to see official reports of casualties. I’m not trying to downplay the situation, I just can’t help but notice that the video angles we have now show a lot of impact, but don’t show a lot of destruction. Maybe we will see the impact areas later on and my skepticism will look dumb, but as of now, it just appears like these strikes are more for show than for damage. Something just feels off, and it feels like our emotions are being toyed with.
