Which one do you prefer?

@thecinelost Overrated AF

Looking at Cristin Milioti’s career blows my mind. The mafia daughter in Sopranos, Jordan Belfort’s wife in Wolf of Wall Street, and Sofia Falcone in The Penguin… Three different icons, same actress.

I really love Kenji Tsuruta's artstyle

@shiten_room I saw Smile and I thought it was terrific ! Didnd't like Smile 2 though

Tell me what movie you've seen recently.

@nimlot26 Everyone must feel like a winner, so if your cat falls asleep on your keyboard, ull still finish top #3 so you won't cry and splash ur juice over the walls. That's why latest movies explain the plot 5 times. Guys at marketing didn't figure out some people should be left behind

I really start to believe that conspiracy theory that they try to keep us stupid. Sony is making some tech to nerf you if you're a good player to make it easier for the dumbasses playing multiplayer games on phone while on toilet.... This comes right after Microsoft announced that they work on an AI that will play for you when you pause or when the boss is too difficult for you... I'm so tired of this trend of dumbing down everything....bring back complex and difficult games. Games used to be a good way for kids to develop motor and logic skills. Not anymore...at least in the western game industry.

@Boichi_Bo1 If you had a script like Death Note, would you try making it a webtoon or a manga ?

The comics/manga market can support approximately 2,000 serialized comic artists per $100 million in market size. This is my claim, and its basis comes from the Korean webtoon market. The Korean webtoon market is estimated to be around $1 billion by traditional market analysis standards. It provides approximately 15,000 to 20,000 serialization opportunities per year for webtoon artists. Among these, about 10,000 continue for more than one year. On the other hand, the Japanese manga market, when it was around $4 billion in size, offered about 4,000 serialization opportunities. Currently, the market is around $5 billion, but I do not have up-to-date data on the number of annual manga works in Japan. Sorry! (If anyone has that information with clear data and chart, please let me know.) In Japan, a $4 billion market produces about 4,000 serialized works, whereas South Korea, with a smaller $1 billion market, produces up to 20,000. Why is that happen? This remarkable difference comes from two main reasons: First reason is a digital-first market. And Second is higher royalty rates. From what I understand, Korean webtoon platforms pay around 50% royalties to creators. In contrast, Japanese manga typically pays about 10% royalties for print volumes and around 15% for digital. These figures are actually part of a very complex discussion. It is an extremely complicated topic, and simple numerical comparisons can be misleading. Nevertheless, South Korea has produced a remarkable outcome. A $1 billion market has generated about $500 million in royalties, creating up to 20,000 jobs. If we calculate simply, that is an average of $25,000 per serialized work. This is a very encouraging figure. To my knowledge, in the most successful cases, some top creators have earned up to $50 million per year. South Korea is a developed country with a GDP per capita of about $37,000. If the same market scale were applied to a country with a GDP per capita of $3,700, it could generate up to ten times more jobs than in South Korea. If the average income for a comic artist(whether you’re a mangaka or a webtoon creator) in such a country were $10,000, that would still be a very good job. Being a mangaka can be a very attractive profession. In a $1 billion market, it is possible to create up to 50,000 jobs with an average income of $10,000—if royalties are distributed in a way similar to Korean webtoons. Now, comics—including manga and other forms—can create about 5,000 decent jobs per $100 million in developing markets. If investment in creative production is properly established, that number can rise to 10,000 jobs per $100 million. This means that such a country could produce 10,000 comics/manga annually, generating IP—the “rice and oil” of the content industry. This enormous volume of IP becomes the foundation for films, TV dramas, games, and animation in that country. Through comics and manga, the world comes to understand the thoughts, emotions, cultural beauty, and unique charm of that country’s people. Comics, manga and webtoons are full of advantages and serve as the starting point of all cultural industries.

@DoggyCrusade @jimbooooSlice @Nuked4Every1 they're just shit factories whose little mind resets every day

@jimbooooSlice @Nuked4Every1 I always wonder about people like you. Are you educated? did you go to school? AI is super new so when did you start thinking everything you see is AI now? I don't want to call you stupid. I'm just confused how someone of your mental capacity made it to your age?

2022, Poland.🇵🇱 In a devastating incident that unfolded in Poznan, a 29-year-old man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend’s fiancé before turning the gun on himself. Shockingly, it has come to light that the perpetrator held a valid gun permit. The police revealed that in 2022, the man had made self-harm threats, leading to the temporary suspension of his permit. However, it was later returned to him by the authorities.

@ACarmackArtist finally putting a face to the name I've seen so many times as a kid. Great work sir

My friends are messaging me about the movie Blackberry. I hated having my photo taken. When phone cameras became ubiquitous I gave up.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.
