It doesn’t work in the reverse direction because it’s an issue of equity in role availability. we have a cultural bias for movies with white characters, especially historical movies, so white actors don’t need to be taking what few roles there are for racial minorities.
on the other hand i think it’s fine for racial minorities to be taking roles in a fictional film that would otherwise be 100% white people.
exactly, it’s well known the original scope was actually TOO big and they had to scale down.
easter eggs don’t make a game deep or replayable.
As far as I can tell, no one. After following each link in the article and cursory googling, to me this looks like Merrill is shooting back at something that isn’t actually happening. Of course people are talking about the large budget, but complaining? I don’t see it.
I think for something that’s clearly not meant to be very historically accurate race swapping is fine. If we always have strict racial rules then vaguely historical movies are always going to be contributing to role inequalities for non-white people.
I don’t think I’ve ever played a game more than 200 or 300 hours.
firstly, I did get a report to remove this post (which I understand and considered), but I think it’s worthwhile to point out to people why you have to think critically about articles like this.
Substack really isn’t the venue for such controversial and possibly damaging work to be done. This desperately needs peer review to examine the survey methodology and data interpretation before we draw any conclusions like the author did.
Surveys are extremely complicated because it’s so easy to bias with the selection of the respondents, how you phrase the questions, and all kinds of other things. While the author clearly did put some effort into that, we don’t know their qualifications (as far as I can tell “Aella” is a pseudonym), and even if we did sometimes qualified people make mistakes. That’s the value of peer review - other experts can examine the process and offer feedback before it gets published.
Publishing such conclusions all on your own is (at best) unintentional fear mongering that can hurt real people.
dunno about budget, I’m just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.
I have a feeling it’s because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.

well it’s a six inch display so presumably it’ll be a lot cheaper. maybe designed with an always-on display. And the UI optimized for home oriented stuff. could be interesting.
“Much like live theater, the show, especially Season 3, was asking the audience to be an active participant,” Sudeikis said. “Some people want to do that, some people don’t. Some people want to judge—they don’t want to be curious,” the opposite of Coach Lasso’s belief in Walt Whitman’s quote “be curious, not judgmental.”
so basically “no criticism allowed”…
“I’ll never understand people who will go on talking about something so brazenly that they, in my opinion, clearly don’t understand,” Sudeikis continues. “And God bless ’em for it; it’s not their fault. They don’t have imaginations and they’re not open to the experience of what it’s like to have one.
…“if there’s something you don’t like, you just don’t understand”…
“Everybody’s in better shape than when they started,” Sudeikis says of the characters and the resolutions of their storylines. “Like a good Boy or Girl Scout at a campsite, we left it better than we found it. And if you don’t see that in that show, then I don’t know what show you’re watching.”
and “our show is good because it has happy endings”.
okay Jason.
great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.
is this the one with Tom Holland as well? secret spider-man begins?
apps running in the background is fine though.
if you (not you specifically but anyone reading) find this happens often enough to be debilitating you may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety/depression medication. My wife was like that and it made an immediate difference for her.
sounds about right.
this could be very sensationalist because as far as I know, we have no idea what the absolute numbers are, the trend is measured in percentages:
Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.
So it’s true that the peak is today, but that could be only a few people. Considering most of October the daily number was “0” (not enough data), I’m guessing the absolute numbers are fairly low. Anyone know how many datapoints google needs to publish data on trends?
the county trends in PA WI and MI compared to 2020 are looking bad. don’t get your hopes up.
I have no friends, take that microorganisms.
