How Ensemble Studios got bought by MicroSoft. Ensemble Studios was amazingly successful. We produced only one game that sold less than 2 million copies, and THAT one sold a million so was no failure. Even the expansions (which I led) sold a million copies or more. In 2000, MicroSoft... needed to sign a new contract with us for our upcoming games. The contract sucked. It was literally equal to or worse than the contracts offered to their other partners. We balked. The problem was that MicroSoft is so huge, that it is divided into different satrapies that don't answer to each other. The contract-signing division get rewarded, basically, for handing out sucky contracts that benefit only MicroSoft. But the game publishing division was rewarded for selling great games, and Ensemble Studios was a rock star. 1/5show more

Great question from @Milliedrewgeorge and one I want to clear up: In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s was sold to Unilever as a publicly held corporation. Jerry and I did everything that we could to try to keep it independent, but SEC rules forced the board to make a decision to have the company sold because Unilever offered so much money for it. BUT there was a legally binding agreement that we negotiated that maintained the social mission. Now Magnum is violating that legally binding agreement. #freebenandjerrys

Only the older generation will recognize this one. Beach-Head, published in 1983 by Access Software, is one of the tougher C64 games I have played back in the day. I was 8 or 9 when I first gave it a shot, so maybe that was part of the reason but even in my teenage years I still struggled to get to that final mega-bunker/fortress monstrosity at the end. Beach-Head was commercially successful, selling around quarter of a million copies, an excellent number for that era. Bruce Carver went on to also make Raid over Moscow one year later - another classic of 80s gaming history, and one that was equally hard (the hangar sequence still gives me PTSD). I think in terms of design and gameplay you can see how the 2 games are related, the vibe feels similar.

The Game Boy was launched in 1989, sold almost 120 million units, and was eventually discontinued in 2003 - an incredible lifespan for a handheld console, the longest ever, unless I am overlooking another? One of the games that was availabe with the launch was Super Mario Land, and it became one of its highest selling titles (18 million cartridges), being part of the early and massive success of the Game Boy. By the way, all this with a mere 8 KB of RAM. That's 1/8th of the good old C64. Super Mario Land was essentially a perfect game, getting the absolute maximum out of the Game Boy at the time. I remember that even my mother and sister playing it, while before that computers games were really not their thing at all.

Taylor Swift was mentioned on Morning America today: “Now, when [Cowboy Carter] premiered, it did hit number one for two weeks, but then the numbers cratered. And it sold 407,000 copies, however, compared to something like the ‘Tortured Poets Department’ that sold 2.6 million on its debut. It just kinda cratered. It was a miscalculation to to call for a tour.”

Jeremy Lin reveals that he spoke to Carmelo Anthony & squashed any prior misunderstandings off-camera and opens up about how he was willing to take a much lower contract to stay with the NY Knicks in 2012 free agency, but they didn’t even give him a contract 💔 Jeremy Lin ended up leaving the Knicks to sign with the Houston Rockets for 3 years/$25 million “I was CRUSHED… That 3 day period felt like 3 months… I was like ‘there’s no way, I gotta go back to New York’… There was no contract. They could have offered me 3 years/9 million, but there wasn’t even that offer on the table… I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer… I would have played for SIGNIFICANTLY less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here.”

They come back to me the week that my mother died...They said we want Terrence but we want him to come back for $1 million instead of the $8 million that we had agreed to."

Elon Musk’s DOGE is exposing it all DOGE updates on the DoE “Well, now we know why they didn't want us looking at the Department of Education - DOGE found that a $4.6 million contract was to coordinate Zoom and in-person meetings - There was a $3 million contract to write a report that showed that prior reports were not utilized by the school - Then you have a $1.4 million contract to physically observe mailing and clerical operations So nobody wants children to be uneducated. What we do want is to take a look at the allocation of funds and realize that something's not right here and it's theft from the American taxpayer.” It’s all 100% waste and theft

Charlie Munger made $500 Million by reading Barron’s Magazine for 50 years. Here’s the story: “I’ve read Barron’s for 50 years and in 50 years, I found only one investment opportunity in Barron’s. Out of which I made $80 Million, with almost no risk.” “It was a Monroe shock absorbers company, trading at $1 and I sold it at $15 but it eventually went to $40. It was a pure cigar butt company.” “The Barron’s said it was cheap stock and so I bought it.” “I gave that $80 Million to Li Lu who turned it to $400-500 Million. So I made that money by reading Barron’s for 50 years and following one idea.” “Now that doesn’t help you very much, does it? I’m sorry but that’s the way it really happened.” 😂 - Charlie Munger. Daily Journal meeting 2017

Ryan Leaf says he made $15,000,000 from his $31,000,000 NFL rookie contract before losing it all “The headline says $31 million. The signing bonus was $11 million, which is still a lot of damn money. Three years in the contract was lower salaries” “I probably made $15 million out of all that. $7.5 million went to taxes. $3.8 million went to the ex-wife” “So I have $3.8 million, and I lived like I was still making $5 million a year. Had the big house, flew on private planes” “I just figured that the money would never run out. Didn't fully understand what that looked like, and before you know it, it's gone” “When you were making zero dollars a year, and you live like you're still making $5 million a year, it goes away. It was gone”

SHOCKING: Jewish influencer Chef Tova was hired by a brand for an ad campaign. Everything was fine until the brand asked her to remove one word: “Jewish,” claiming it was too political. This is how Jewish identity gets erased in real time: Chef Tova was hired, a contract was signed, the script approved, and the video filmed. The contract allowed three revisions. All three were used. Only then did the brand object to one word: Jewish. The contract was clear: additional changes require payment. The brand refused, arguing that the contract bans political content, and that saying “Jewish” is political. Would they have said the same to a Muslim influencer? Or a Buddhist one? Our religion is not political. Our identity is not a provocation. The issue was never the contract. The issue was Jewish visibility.

Kyle Shanahan was asked if it was the fact they had to go to Australia for Week 1 or that it was the Rams who asked the league to play the 49ers, that he wasn’t happy about: “Both, but more of that than the other. We only get 3 close fights, whether it’s Seattle, Arizona or LA, so to get one of those taken away is tough. Especially when it’s 19 hours away on an airplane. That’s not like a small flight. So that adds up and I love our fans taking over SoFi. That’s awesome and I get why the Rams don’t want that.” 🎥: Tom Tolbert

Jez Corden explains disc-to-digital (Project Positron) conversion platform You literally put the disc into the console, and it gives you a digital license for the game permanently for your Microsoft account. If you give the disc away or sell it; if it gets connected to another Microsoft account, you lose access to that digital license. You don't need the disc to keep verifying it. It's whoever last used the disc who gets the license. In 2013 (Xbox One launch) there was a rumor that retailers were going to unlock the disc, but that wasn't actually true, but it was badly communicated, and Xbox leaders misunderstood how the feature was going to work. It became a huge cluster that they had to scrap. You get the full game, you get the Xbox Cloud version, you get the Xbox Play Anywhere version, and you get the license as if you purchased it digitally. Superchat: Alright, so insert the disc, get the digital license, snap the disc in half, got it. 😂 via: Jez Windows Central

Mike Brown: "The buy in. It was a contract that I had everybody sign opening dinner night and I still have it framed. Everybody's signature from Mr. Dolan to Leon Rose, all the coaches, all the players, all the staff that was there that night signed and basically it was about committing to sacrifice, having a competitive spirit, being connected, believing in each other in the process while holding everybody accountable even myself...I told everybody that night if you're not gonna abide by this I'd have more respect for you to not sign it than to sign it and BS your way through tonight and BS your way through this and everybody bought in from day 1"

We only have ourselves to blame. In particular, Ibou. He was the one who gave them the encouragement to get back into the game. No need for that stupid challenge which gave them the penalty. They grew in confidence after that. And for me, that was a Salah goodbye.

Roseanne speaks on the Great Awakening and the Plandemic: "They put us into quarantine that was the best thing that ever happened to this country, although a lot of people lost their jobs, the greatest thing about it was that it broke the routine. That's one way to snap out of mind control. It woke people up to what mattered. And then they got on the internet and started looking for answers. And that's why they call it the Great Awakening. That's what Q was for quarantine. We all got a lot smarter, we all got a lot healthier, we all got a lot closer. It was the best thing that could have happened to us. Because anything that these people at the top try to do to us is going to end up working for our benefit as long as we reclaim our humanity and our love and our connection for each other. They can't hurt us."
