@paulo_with_a_u@SteveInmanClips@SteveInman That hit looked pretty much like KTFO. That's Knocked, and not killed, but that is not determined in said video. And STILL lovin the Ramifications!
@Grummz There are some who actually enjoy it (somehow). I've seen such ppl argue that it's only failing "b/c of grifters sowing hate" & not b/c it's painfully hideous. I've seen some say it has ongoing gameplay design issues that drive ppl away (much like its repulsive visuals).
Well, Forbes just confirmed that Marathon cost $250 Million to make.
Throw in marketing and you are close to 400-450 million by AAA standards.
Concord was also $200 Million to make. so another 400.
Sony isn't going to shut down Marathon because execs would look really stupid losing nearly a billion dollars to hero and extraction shooters twice in a row.
But this is a unmitigated disaster.
In what world do extraction shooters cost 200M to make? All of Destiny 1 was 185M in adjusted dollars, and that was a huge game.
Budgets in AAA are obviously out of whack, and it was during Covid that team sizes ballooned for no good reason except the money was flowing.
They expected the returns and growth to keep going, it never did. Covid demand was a peak, not a trend, driven by lockdowns (bored people played games) and stimulus money.
AAA studios must downsized and do so quickly. AA and Indie games have shown you can deliver superior returns for 1/10 to 1/20th the cost.
But more than that, it's time to listen to the chuds if AAA wants to survive.

🚨 WOW! President Trump is sounding the alarm, America can’t withstand more horrible decisions from the Supreme Court
They need to strike down birthright citizenship for illegals.
“THEY SHOULD USE THEIR POWERS OF COMMON SENSE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY.”
“They failed miserably on Tariffs, needlessly costing the USA Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in potential rebates for the benefit haters and scammers.”
“Why??? Don’t do it again! The Country can only withstand so many bad decisions from a Court that just doesn’t seem to care.”
Early reactions to the test screening of the film RESIDENT EVIL directed by Zach Cregger 🎬
The first test screenings have yielded extremely positive results:
• According to early reviews, Cregger hasn’t simply made another video game adaptation; instead, he’s created a fast-paced, intense film with a lot of personality that relies almost entirely on tension.
• It’s 90 minutes of pure adrenaline, and one attendee described it as a horror version of Fury Road.
• An Avatar-style protagonist: Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a delivery driver who must bring a mysterious briefcase to Raccoon City Hospital in the midst of a viral outbreak. His character acts as a vehicle for the viewer to experience the chaos, much like a player in a video game.
• Instead of an extensive mythology, the film features a small cast and a focused approach. It doesn’t aim to adapt a specific story from the games, but rather to capture their nightmarish essence. There is almost no world-building.
• Early reactions indicate that it is far more cinematic than previous Resident Evil films, with strong visual composition and practical effects doing most of the work.
• Cregger has cited Evil Dead II as his primary tonal reference, seeking a balance between horror, speed, and absolute chaos.
The release is scheduled for September 18, 2026.

@LukasDGreat07 Mahito negs 50% of the Naruto verse because they don't hit the soul. If there's no verse equalization, they can't see him, or even harm him. It's like bleach where soul reapers can't be seen by people without spiritual pressure.
@EricLDaugh No, Melania Trump was not a U.S. citizen when she gave birth to Barron Trump.
Barron Trump DOB New York City on March 20, 2006.
Melania Trump became a U.S. citizen on July 28, 2006.
Ivana Trump was not a U.S. citizen when she gave birth to her three children with Donald .
🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump's attorney John Sauer just FINISHED his initial oral arguments against birthright citizenship for illegal aliens in a masterclass against Justice Ketanji Jackson
She tries cornering him on what we would do when a woman migrant gives birth in an American hospital
JACKSON: "Are we bringing pregnant women for depositions?!"
SAUER: "No. The EO turns on lawfulness of status. If you give birth to a baby, it gets the birth certificate, and there is a computer system—"
JACKSON: "So there's no opportunity, then, for the person to prove or say they intended to stay in the US?"
SAUER: "The OPPOSITE is true. There are opportunities to dispute if they think they are wrongfully denied, which only happens in a tiny minority of cases."
JACKSON: "After their baby has been denied citizenship, we go through the process?"
SAUER: "The system automatically checks the immigration status of the parents, which there are robust databases for. It appears NO DIFFERENT to the vast majority of birthing parents."
🚨Update: Iranian Sleeper Cells! FBI believes the mass shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas, that killed three and injured 14 was an “act of terrorism!”

🚨BOMBSHELL HOLLYWOOD SHAKEUP: Jennifer Lawrence just got her ass FIRED and booted from Mel Gibson's new movie after throwing a full-blown, screaming anti-Trump meltdown on set!
🔗 t.me/+PrBHPIUGPXs3M…
She couldn't keep her woke mouth shut, ranting and crying about politics like a deranged Karen while everyone else tried to actually work.
Gibson didn't hold back: "I like Jen, but we're here to make a damn film, not to cry about social issues and politics." No mercy, no second chances — Gibson's strict no-woke rule means even massive A-list star power gets you instantly replaced when you start the drama.
Lawrence learned the hard way: throw a tantrum, get the boot. "The woke movement is OVER in this town." Hollywood's finally waking up — no more entitled snowflakes hijacking sets with their Trump-hating hysterics!
This is what happens when you put feelings over the job.
Share if you’re sick of celebs turning every movie into a political circus!
