What leverage does Iran even have left?

BREAKING: 50% chance of a US-Iran nuclear deal this year

@ancapnap Brother just wait until you find out about sharecropping, debt peonage, company towns, inmate labor in private prisons....

@LainzAPol @AbolishTedCruz Modern liberalism is massively different (right wing) than FDR's liberalism. FDR essentially introduced the term to the US as a way to sell American votes on socialist adjacent policies without invoking being called a communist.
English
@AbolishTedCruz His ideology in America is specifically referred to as Liberalism in the modern day
Sure, he was quite progressive for his time, but nowhere near a DemSoc
English
Im really laughing at the idea that FDR was a "Democratic Socialist" Im not gonna lie
Words mean nothing

English
@JOEVIBIN64 @CardsSimp @nick_archuletas @MTSlive Yeah man, it was just a few billion $$ in fraud, all these crazy right wingers tried to make it seem like $10 billion. Not that big of a deal, just massively overembellished!
English
@CardsSimp @nick_archuletas @MTSlive Yes no one denies there was fraud. Interact with what I wrote lol.

@JOEVIBIN64 @nick_archuletas @MTSlive The person operating the initial center explosed was just indicted today lmao

@nick_archuletas @MTSlive The fake daycare think was massively astroturfed and overembelished. Even if the fraud was double as a bad as online detectives made it out to be, predictions markets have way more potential to damage society

@Benrapeaburglar @RuariJM @GibsonWrites I dont really think many Catholics see other denominations of Christianity as heretics anymore, but they definitely see them as cosplayers. And they are right tbh.
English
@RuariJM @GibsonWrites That’s not what’s happening here, OP is referencing a catholic belief that the Catholic Church is the one true church and all other so called Christians are heretics. It’s pretty old and anachronistic to the way that most people view the world.

"The world's largest Christian denomination..."
Oh dear.

@VP JD Vance on the upcoming release of Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas", on AI during a press briefing today: "I think when the Pope issues an encyclical on artificial intelligence, it's going to have some influence... I think when the leader of the world's largest Christian denomination speaks on an issue like that, it's certainly going to have some influence, and I'm sure it will contain a lot of insights, some of which I'll probably agree with, some of which I may not, but I think that it's going to be a very, very important document... One of the things I always find fascinating about Pope Leo is that he chose the name Leo XIV, which, of course, is recollecting Leo XIII. Leo XIII was the Pope during a period of incredible industrial transformation in the entire world, of course... I think it was interesting that Leo XIV chose that name to maybe apply Christian social teaching in a new era with a new technological innovation, in the same way that the Industrial Revolution was the technological innovation of its time. So, I think it'll be fascinating. I'm looking forward to reading it. My guess is it's going to have a lot of influence." @Pontifex #magnificahumanitas #AI

@mattparlmer voting really doesn't matter anymore. everyone is coalescing into ethnic tribes, violence between them is escalating and war is coming sooner than you think

As Adam Curtis has observed, the voting public will continue to hit the big red “fuck you” button until we renegotiate the political settlement

Honestly, Trump’s party purge makes it so much easier to vote in November. In the past I felt like it was my civic duty to review every candidate regardless of party. Now I can safely assume that any GOP candidate is Trumpy as hell and just vote straight against that.
English
@pothock3ts @justxavierisunc I think that is factored into reviews. This person is complaining the reviewer didnt play the high difficulty, which tbh would give the review a bad slant as it wouldnt be reflective of the experience most readers would get if they buy it
English
@JOEVIBIN64 @justxavierisunc You can't say a game is too easy if it provides a more difficult option for those who want it. It's not surprising that the default difficulty of a kids game is easy. Any player who wants a challenge can just bump it up. No reason to lower the rating for that.
English
No disrespect to the reviewer. But he said combat is repetitive with encounters not being engaged but gave mixtape a 10/10

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight might not tell a story that will sit alongside Batman’s best overall, but it delivers a fantastic plastic parody of his greatest hits. Our review: bit.ly/4dqPn3X
English
@justxavierisunc No one at a major publication should review a game playing anything other than the recommended difficulty. The point of reviewing is to give insight to potential consumers about what the average playthrough will be like for most people. They are writing for an audience.
English
@MookalH Highly dependant to the point that I wouldnt trust anyone's figures. They are all negotiated contracts. Rights holders are way more willing to cut deals for smaller projects than big ones. Its not like going to a store and buying something at MSRP, its widely variable.
English
@AnAverageGamerX I have done ot before, the answer, it wildly depends. For a project like this, its not completely out of the ordinary and not wildely expensive considering the songs the picked are all back catalog.
English
Do you guys understand how hard it is to secure licenses in perpetuity?
REALLY HARD.

Mixtape's song licenses were paid in perpetuity, so don't expect licensing issues to lead to a delisting gonintendo.com/contents/60859…

@moxwah @ZikadaPrime Maybe im crazy, but I actually prefer the stick throttle system from gran turismo games over analog triggers for throttle any day. Feels way more responsive if you want anything other than full go or stop.

Oh man it's going to run so well on the Switch 2.

@sharintaint @NepSwirlRedux @MinModulation Of course if the publisher owns the studio the situation would be different, but in this case, odds are annapurna was merely a footnote on the deal
English
@sharintaint @NepSwirlRedux @MinModulation Im sorry but its really not the case. A studio would hire a music supervisor who would head the negotiation. The publishing company of the game is involved from a legal standpoint reviewing contracts but the contract is between the studio and the owner of the music rights
English
@sharintaint @NepSwirlRedux @MinModulation As someone who has worked in commercial media production and have dealt with the financial / licensing of music first hand, outside of legal clearance, no you are wrong.
English
@JOEVIBIN64 @NepSwirlRedux @MinModulation I mean I don't know how to tell you this but music publishing rights would 1000% be in the wheelhouse of the publisher.
English
@TheIshikawaRin Because these contracts are negotiated largely by size and scope of project. Annapurna would not have a part in this negotiation it would be the studio, the fact that annapurna is involved in the project is a footnote and wouldn't matter at all when determining price.
English
I'm struggling to understand how Mixtape of all things gets perpetual music licenses but mammoth IPs like Grand Theft Auto do not.

English
@sharintaint @NepSwirlRedux @MinModulation You should really take some time to learn what a publisher is compared to a game development studio. I think you are a little confused about what the relationships between media companies are.
English
@NepSwirlRedux @JOEVIBIN64 @MinModulation That doesn't matter. As long as everyone in negotiations knows Annapurna is a fake indie with billions in funding they're not getting discounts from artists (nor should they). It would be an easy way for rich studios to take advantage of artists if they did.
English
@sharintaint @MinModulation Sorry but this is not how things work when it comes to negotiation of contracts. A publisher is not the same as the company producing the game. The deals are set mainly based on budget, scope, size of project, and of course popularity of the song.
English
@JOEVIBIN64 @MinModulation Annapurna, multi-squillionaire David Ellison's pet project, is not getting a discount. This is not a small indie game and everyone involved knows it. No representative for a band is giving one of the richest men in the world a discount because they go through a shell company.
English
@Meelsie143 Music licenses are negotiated contracts. The terms are essentially up to the license holder. They rarely want to give up an unlimited time contract to anyone other than a small contract/studio because they know they can double dip from them in the future.
English
is there literally any reason this isn’t the case for every game? music rights bullshit pisses me off so bad
