burdened by moderately average purpose

There is a theory going around that Kane Parsons did not really direct *Backrooms*, and that the movie was secretly directed by Osgood Perkins or James Wan. And I am sorry, but that feels like people trying to take this away from the kid before the movie even opens. Kane Parsons is officially the director of *Backrooms*. James Wan produced it. Osgood Perkins produced it and served as a mentor during production. That is not some conspiracy. That is what happens when a 19-year-old filmmaker gets handed his first feature film and experienced people help him navigate the process. Especially when the entire reason the movie exists is because of Kane Parsons. His Kane Pixels YouTube channel has more than 3 million subscribers with only 51 videos. His original *Backrooms (Found Footage)* short has over 78 million views. He made that video when he was 16 years old, and it was so good that Hollywood came calling almost immediately. He did not randomly get handed somebody else’s movie. He created the version of *The Backrooms* that people fell in love with. And from everything Kane has talked about publicly, he was deeply involved in bringing that vision to the screen. He modeled the environments in Blender, helped design the massive 30,000-square-foot set, and described the movie as completely connected to the story he was already telling on YouTube. Could James Wan and Osgood Perkins have helped him? Of course. They were producers. That is their job. But there is a pretty big difference between mentoring a young filmmaker and secretly directing his movie for him. And the really wild part is that *Backrooms* is currently tracking for a $20–30 million domestic opening weekend. For context, *Civil War* currently holds A24’s biggest domestic opening at $25.7 million. So there is a very real chance that a 20-year-old YouTube creator, adapting the weird little horror universe he started building as a teenager, could open one of the biggest movies in A24 history. Maybe the movie works. Maybe it does not. But let the guy have his movie before inventing a conspiracy that somebody more famous must have made it for him.

She almost died from Covid and is immunocompromised. So I have a lot of empathy for her for threatening to sue people who got hantavirus and may not respect their quarantine and infection control. I guess what I'm trying to say is... YES OFC! Normalize suing disease spreaders!!!

ass still fat, opinions still based.

The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.

It's clear that Resident Evil 5 does focus on the exploitation of Africa by the West and white supremacy through eugenics with Wesker, but all of that political focus is not only underdeveloped but squandered by its depiction of Africans leaning into caricatures of savagery.

France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere

American women can only stay with their babies for 6 weeks before they must return to work. This policy was lobbied by Nestle so that American women are forced to buy formula and don't rely on their own breast milk to feed their babies. The American government works for corporations, not their people & until this system dismantles, people aren't going to have babies. This is just common sense.

While all the Sony and Playstation Fanboys are trying to run damage control and attacking critics to protect their precious Playstation reputation. A Lurker reminded me of a cheeky little incident that happened last year...where PS5's servers were scuffed for the weekend and PS5 owners were locked out of their digitally-purchased games, because "Playstation could not verify their licences". Well now, the Playstation fanboys quite conveniently memoryholed this incident didn't they? This incident is VERY topical right now with the PS DRM issue isn't it?

An online check should not be required. Do not pass this off as a "nothing burger" when you are being treated like a criminal in order to use a product you spent your money on

@Wario64 I'll believe it when the site actually loads. 😕

The Art and Making of Control 25th Anniversary Edition Reprint up for order at Future Press (54,99 €) buff.ly/1lrZRBf

@FuturePress Was both instantly excited and disappointed. Between "limited" reprint and a website that doesn't work, resellers are gonna beat me to this by the time I can even attempt to order it.

The Art and Making of Control is finally back, after being out of print since shortly after its release in 2021. A reprint was heavily requested by fans as part of our ongoing 25th Anniversary celebration. This is a book we’re extremely proud of, for a game we love and admire.

I’ve spent the past 7-8 years collecting manga out of pure passion for the medium, and have been waiting forever to have adult money to buy vintage manga and rare collectibles I’m not about to have a hobby I’ve worked so hard on be uprooted by a market analyst who claims to be a collector, who’s only interest in the medium is to inflate and manipulate the market, for a fuckass pump and dump scheme nobody is gonna fall for Fuck both you and Logan Paul, and fuck Beckett as well. You’d have a higher chance catching me smoking crack out it a boot than me ever submitting anything to a PSA company for a grade

@UbisoftSupport It has been a month since I sent a support ticket for my issue and no response. My 18 year old ubisoft account has been reset to level 1 with over 17,000 xp needed to level up, which is insane.

Charlie didn’t catch one to the jugular in Europe…

So businesses raised their prices to offset the tariffs, we the consumers paid those higher prices, and now those same businesses can get reimbursed from the government for tariffs we already covered for them by paying higher prices?? And *they* get a refund and we don’t??

Look, I'm just going to say it plain. I'm going to assume you're a pedophile if you're calling people interested in this a pedophile.
