I waited to for the director’s to watch this in the hopes it was better than the poorly reviewed original cut. Unfortunately so far it feels like he must have filled in all the extra runtime with more slow motion shots. Like so many slow motion shots. Maybe if he’d cut some of those he would have had less need for all the exposition dumps.
Like so many of his films Rebel Moon is a collection of beautiful moments with very little to hold them all together.
I wish it was a life sentence but as poor of health as the dude looks, maybe it is.
It says the beta was to test multiplayer so hopefully that means the PvP multiplayer mode and not the campaign co-op mode. If so, I’m fine with that; the pvp mode looked interesting but that’s not what I’m really buying it for.
It’s a bit hard to tell accurately from this picture but I counted the lanes of cars near the bottom somewhere in the 48-50 range though there are only 25 or so actually toll booths so who knows.
Yeah; his profile is public. In fact he’s on right now: his gamer tag is P3 if you want to add him.
It is kind of surreal popping on my Xbox and seeing him online playing the same game I am.
How many absolute crap games is this now for this publisher this year? Three? It’s got to be some kind of money laundering scam, right?
Correct
That’s my point. We (those of us that aren’t at least millionaires) don’t really differentiate in society between someone that has a million dollars and someone that has 10 million dollars; they’re both stuck in the “millionaires” tier.
So say you are making $50,000 a year, well it’s easy to see how you or someone like you could (theoretically) get to $100,000; that’s just the next tier up. And then it’s easy to imagine someone going from $100,000 to a million because that’s the next tier up again. But once you get there, people don’t tend to think of ten million as a tier and usually not a hundred million either. The next tier in our zeitgeist after million is billion.
So people tend to think of billion being kind of the same as going from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Hence the common disconnect about just how much more money a billionaire has than the common man.
I have a theory about this: We group money in magnitudes of tens up to a million but then jump up from 10x to 1,000x:
1
10
100
1,000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000
1,000,000,000
That’s a huge increase but our minds like patterns so we instinctively feel that a billion must be about 10x a million and not the 1,000x it really is, thus leading to huge inaccuracies.
Yo Dawg!
Just a reminder that we’ve been trying to get the minimum wage to $15/hr for so long that if we kept up with inflation the minimum wage would be over $25/hr now. By the time $15/hr actually passes it’ll be less than half of what it should be.
