Talk is so cheap. There's certain things my old man used to say then i'd be left thinking to myself how much of a hypocrite can one be

@NotLegallyBlind Try 7th continent

Haven't seen a single Haneke film

@AnaKrivolapova The isolation isn’t what’s attractive. It’s the proof that someone can sit with themselves long enough to turn time into meaning.

Bro pulled off the best video of his life

You’re watching a game that took 2,000 people eight years to build. Some of them are still dealing with what it cost them. Red Dead Redemption 2 started production in 2010, right after the first game came out. Rockstar merged every studio it owned across five countries into one team. By the end, roughly 2,000 people had touched the project, and the budget landed somewhere between $370 million and $540 million, making it one of the most expensive entertainment products ever created. The numbers inside the game are hard to process. 300,000 individual animations (every hand movement, every horse gallop, every raindrop reaction). 500,000 lines of voiced dialogue spread across 1,200 actors. Recording those performances took 2,200 days in a motion capture studio, where actors wear sensor suits so their movements translate directly into the game. The main story script was about 2,000 pages. Dan Houser, Rockstar’s co-founder, said if you stacked every script in the game, including random people walking around town, the pile would be eight feet tall. Even background characters you’d never talk to had 80-page scripts each, about the length of a short film screenplay for a character with zero plot importance. The composer wrote 60 hours of original music. Most players hear about a third of it. The level of detail borders on insane. Horse testicles shrink when the weather gets cold. Your character gains weight if he eats too much, loses stamina if he doesn’t eat enough. Guns degrade without cleaning. Rockstar’s studio co-head Rob Nelson explained the logic: every tiny detail you don’t consciously notice makes you forget you’re inside a game. Stack enough of those moments and you get something no other studio has matched. That immersion had a price. In October 2018, Dan Houser told New York Magazine the team had been working “100-hour weeks” multiple times that year. He later clarified that was four senior writers over three weeks. But when Kotaku’s Jason Schreier interviewed 77 current and former Rockstar employees, the picture was wider. Nobody hit 100 hours, but many averaged 55 to 60 per week for months at a time. That’s six 10-hour days, often with weekend shifts too. Most were salaried with no overtime pay, their only extra compensation tied to year-end bonuses that depended on how well the game sold. Multiple developers described depression and anxiety during and after production. One told Kotaku they’d been “pushed further into depression and anxiety than I had ever been.” Others reported breakdowns and heavy drinking. Kotaku noted some of the worst stories couldn’t be published because the people involved would’ve been identifiable. The game made $725 million in three days, the second-biggest entertainment launch in history. It has now sold over 82 million copies, won more than 175 Game of the Year awards, and is the fourth best-selling video game ever made. Every frame of that clip was paid for, one way or another.

Iran has publicly admitted that. The Iranian strike on Dimona and the Haifa refinery following the Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field highlights a clear and consistent pattern: escalation managed through deliberate signaling. In both cases, we see effective command and control, with strategic guidance translating into precise operational execution at the tactical level. More importantly, Iran is working to preserve a response equation: whatever you do to us, we will do to you — and more. This is not random retaliation. It is structured deterrence, designed to shape behavior and impose costs. Any strategy that ignores this dynamic risks fundamentally misunderstanding how Iran calibrates escalation. #IranWar‌

Never forget how Israel murdered Palestinian First Responders on a literal live stream. Repost this. Please I beg you

Iranian Professor Marandi: “ISIS was created by your regime. Al-Qaeda was created by your regime. The head of Al-Qaeda went to the White House — the same organization you say carried out 9/11. So how are we supposed to know who the terrorists are, based on your standards?”

DAMN. Dramatic footage shows moments when an Iranian missile directly impacts in Dimona, home to its nuclear facility.

mobility exercises are so important idk why people don't do them as often

This would make a killer porno, Captain Levi vs the Female titan.
