He's just Mister Oogie-Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas at this point.

My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.
There's no hope for these people.
It hasn't been decades. Maybe 15 years, though. It's coincided with the ubiquity of streaming.
Before Netflix was everywhere, a movie could bomb in theaters and still make up the difference on the back end. Kevin Smith's Clerks and Mallrats are great examples of movies that absolutely cleaned up on DVD sales. Comedy Central using advertising money and licensing Office Space for 20 hours per week is part of why the producers trusted Mike Judge enough to make Idiocracy.
But steamers don't pay nearly as well as direct-to-consumer home video or as well as advertising-supported licenses. So producers are disincenrivized to do mid-budget movies or take chances on new IPs, because if it doesn't do well in theaters then they're not making the money back.
Just a point of clarification: the probationary period of federal employees is much longer than 90 days. For most, it's one year. Some roles are two years.
The difference being the PS4 wasn't backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn't and couldn't play the PS3 version.
PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.
When I was in high school, the girls' running team made shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times." It's been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.
So, yeah, you would've sold a lot more weiners.
That's why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
Wait, so you're hoping that the American government is covertly manipulating the roughly 1 in 3 Americans who watch the Superbowl expressly to retain the incumbents power because it means we'd avoid a fascist autocracy?
I agree that it's got to be how young Lemmy skews. No one who has ever bought alcohol at a self-checkout has said, "This is so quick and convenient!"
There's also a huge risk of this being misapplied. I remember way back in PS2 days, I was struggling with a jumping puzzle in the original God of War so much so that the game jumped in with a prompt offering to turn down difficulty. But turning down the difficulty in God of War reduces combat difficulty, nothing to do with the huge friggin' hole I kept falling into from mis-timing jumps.
Honestly, every game I've played that offers scaling difficulty based on performance has been because I sucked at the platforming parts that they couldn't make easier with a setting. Maybe it's a hint that I should stop playing platformers.

When I quit smoking, I pretty much stopped going to parties, conventions, dance clubs, and concerts. Having an excuse to get out of the crowd and noise and decompress for ten minutes every couple of hours made "going out" so much more tolerable for me.
