TIL that a shite defense makes for good football teams. Interesting stuff

@6starwarsfilms There was a time I'd spend any amount of $ on anything star wars and now I just don't care. I won't be watching too.

Disney's greatest modern achievement is making star wars fans like me completely apathetic I've read over 150 novels, played 20+ video games, thousands of comics, seen the movies probably 50 times each I dont know or care when the grogu movie comes out. I won't be watching it.

@punk9059 @WhalecoinETH Murad probably needs the $

All these people were just dropped $5000+ of @WhalecoinETH. Very curious to see if anyone claims.

Post and like a couple football related tweets and my timeline is filled with them. And it took this for me to realize the amount of completely retarded "fans" there are out there. Time to ignore football related posts for a bit.

@anishmoonka It's sad how often I play my ps5 relative to the PS4 era. I even play pc games these days when before PC was solely for work. I'm a big fan of playstation so I hope they recover but they need to stop hiring dumbass CEOs.

Sony spent up to $400 million making a single video game. It sold 25,000 copies in 14 days before Sony pulled it from sale. Cost per copy sold: about $16,000. The studio shut down two months later. The executive who warned them had already been fired for saying no. The game was Concord. The executive was Shuhei Yoshida, who ran Sony's in-house game studios for 11 years and helped ship some of the biggest PlayStation hits ever: God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima. These are games you buy once and finish. Sony made billions on that model. Spider-Man alone generated $315 million in digital sales. The Last of Us 2 pulled nearly $250 million. God of War Ragnarok sold 15 million copies, with $279 million from digital downloads alone. Then in 2019, a new CEO took over PlayStation. Jim Ryan wanted Sony's studios to stop making those kinds of games and chase a different model: live service. Live service is Fortnite's model: games designed to keep you playing and paying forever, earning money through endless small purchases instead of one-time sales. Ryan told his team to ship 12 of these by 2025. Yoshida refused. Ryan removed him from running the studios and gave him a choice: take a smaller role working with indie developers or leave the company. Yoshida took the role and stayed at Sony for another six years. At an industry event in Australia last weekend, he finally said plainly that Ryan fired him from running the studios for refusing to do the 'ridiculous things' Ryan had demanded. Of those 12 live service games, 8 were cancelled before they ever came out. Naughty Dog killed a Last of Us multiplayer game in late 2023. Bend Studio's sci-fi game died in January 2025. Twisted Metal and a London fantasy game were both scrapped in early 2024, and the London studio was closed. Insomniac's Spider-Man multiplayer was abandoned. A God of War live service game was cancelled, then the studio making it (Bluepoint) was shut down this past February. A Destiny spin-off was scrapped. Deviation Games, a studio Sony had partnered with, was shut down before shipping anything. Only one of the 12 actually worked. Helldivers 2 was a big hit. But the studio that made it, Arrowhead, isn't owned by Sony, and they've already said they won't partner with Sony on their next game. The total damage under Ryan: $3.7 billion spent buying Bungie (the studio behind Destiny), up to $400 million written off on Concord, and roughly 1,500 jobs lost across studios that got shut down. The PS5 generation is now short on the kind of games that built PlayStation in the first place. Yoshida was pushed out in 2019 for saying no to one strategy. Five years and a few billion dollars later, Sony's current CEO says the new plan is to 'fail early and fail cheaply.'

This has been Arsenal's best performance in a while. I feel you couldn't even say that City was clearly the better team but unfortunately, they nicked it. It ain't over till it's over. Keep fighting.

@atrei8es TIL what a chad Tom Hiddleston is

@BlueCityBrain OP thinking he made a good point

The Invincibles as an accomplishment is so damn overrated because it focuses purely on games in the PL and ignores the entire context of their season - Knocked out in the Semi finals of the FA cup to United - Knocked out in the Semi finals of the League Cup by losing BOTH games to Middlesbrough - UCL lost 2 games in group stage vs Inter and Kyiv then got knocked out in the QFs against Chelsea In their last 9 games to end the season they drew 5 times It would be so much more impressive if they actually done a double or domestic treble or even a CL title. But the fact is that all they won that season was the Premier League winning 26 games and drawing 12 times. Chelsea literally the season afterwards is talked less than this Arsenal team yet they lost 1 game all season going 5+ more points and conceding only 15 goals - winning a cup + PL trophy. This invincible team couldnt even go B2B they only won the FA cup the next season. At a total points level; They would have finished 3rd in both the 2018/19 and and the 2021/22 season. Their points total would have won TWO titles between the years 2016/17 and 2023/24 whered they'd have won the title in 2022/23 by 1 point where City lost the last 2 games focusing on their treble and the other by 4 points over 2020/21 Man City who had wrapped up the title in like March (done a double + Made CL Final) For additional context Al Hilal in the Saudi League is an interesting "invincible season" right now they havent lost a game (~35+ games) in ALL competitions this season yet are 8 points from the top, knocked out of the Asia Cup (UCL equiv) by going out on pens, and are in the semi of the local cup. They could literally go invincible in ALL Competitions for the season and win NOTHING. The objective of football is to WIN and WIN on multiple fronts.

@BullyEsq Yes

Some of these Arsenal "fans" are embarrassing and pathetic.

@fandompulse Another one bites the dust

After three weeks, Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has failed to chart on Luminate's Streaming Originals chart. Why are people not watching this show? Does it just suck? Is the Marvel brand tainted?

@fandompulse Another one bites the dust

Teela actress Camilla Mendes affirms the film has a huge focus on toxic masculinity: "It's hard to talk about Teela without talking about her relationship to her father, because I feel like so much of who she is has to do with how she was, I guess, let down as a kid. And I feel like that really built this outer wall around her that's sort of like shielding this inner sensitivity. She's affected by toxic masculinity just as much as the men in the film. And I think she's sort of adopted masculinity to protect herself in this very masculine world. It's how she survives. She's in survival mode, and has been for a very long time." What do you think she means by "toxic masculinity?"

Yeah I feel the euphoria myself which means it's time to take some profits if you're trading. I didn't have much cash for the last drawdown but managed to get Amazon and google at the lows with the small amount I had. Tped more meaningful amounts now to be better prepared for the next drawdown (if any). Still well positioned even if no drawdowns.

At the lows, everyone was full panic. "It's an energy crisis". "No point in buying the dip yet". "This is different than the tariff crash". Past couple days everyone is a bull and completely euphoric once again. I TP'd roughly 60% of all positions from the lows, rest can ride.

Seeing all the inane anti Arsenal articles makes me think that even sports journalism is too far gone. Are there any parts of journalism that is not completely irrelevant at this point? If mainstream media outlets weren't getting government funding and/or have owners willing to haemorrhage money, how many would actually still be in operating?

First post in a while just to say that I love browsing Japanese twitter over whatever I used to get on my feed.

A popular Australian tourist destination has started a "Keep the poo out of the pool" awareness campaign urging visitors to use toilets. The lagoon has been shut down nine times since September due to "faecal incidents".

@Ilvaite0 Makes what Vini does to them all the sweeter

Replace Cherki with Vini Jr, and watch how quickly it’s no longer shithousery.

@unusual_whales Time to solve this with more immigration

Canada's economy lost net 83,900 jobs in February, driving Canada's unemployment rate up to 6.7%. Economists were expecting a 10k gain, per Bloomberg

@DeeZe I know this is a shitpost but I'd be ecstatic if the pixels I bought for $10000 in 2021 was actually worth $237 today.

I promise you, my children will never touch an NFT. These people are fricken lost man because the pixels they bought in 2021 for $10,000 are now word $237. Lol BYE!

@GwartyGwart Better still - make it a NFT, and if the oil tanker gets destroyed by a missile strike in the Strait of Hormuz, you still have the oil. Few

Why don’t they just tokenize the oil in the Middle East and transport it across permissionless financial rails, thereby avoiding the Strait of Hormuz altogether
