They are using the same 2007 argument of us not getting new episodes of our favourite shows and actually expecting it to work?! Puh-lease, we were hardly getting it anyway! Every show is either cancelled or takes ages to churn out 8 episodes, so what's the difference? They've trained us in patience and dealing with disappointment already.

Part of the reason they pay writers and actors so low is because of nepotism.
Rich people can afford to pay their children’s way into Hollywood. It forces out talented people that can’t afford that lifestyle. The amount of nepo babies with zero talent who went to business school and have found themselves in top positions at studios straight after graduating because their grandparents and parents worked in the film industry is outrageous. And they have been gutting Hollywood of any sort of creativity for the past twenty years by basing everything on a profits based business model that doesn’t allow for experimentation. It’s why nearly so many movies have been remakes, sequels, and based on existing IP.
Of course they don’t want to pay actors and writers well, they have never had to work for anything ever and can’t relate to having to work three jobs to try and achieve your goals and dreams. And they don’t WANT those people to be successful either. How else will they be able to place their fresh from college kids into top roles if those positions are already taken by outsiders?

Here's something I haven't seen before:
A render of Millicent/Malenia's prosthesis that shows the interior of the cuff.
You can see the shoulder joint and the beginnings of a drive shaft that would operate the elbow and lower arm.
Yet again, the detail Fromsoft put into this game amazes me. This side of the model would never be visible in-game, but instead of leaving it solid gold or untextured they modeled actual mechanisms inside the shoulder.

my brother started calling our cat "doobie brother" which he then lengthened to "dubious brother" and has since morphed into "brother dubious" like he's some sort of fucked up little monk
I would kill for a Twilight Zone marathon
actually the best case scenario for the strikes (on top of "writers and performers are paid more than fairly for their incredibly valuable contributions to art and culture") is that we reach a point where movie theaters just start screening old films. i'm talking about golden age classics like the wizard of oz and casablanca or whatever but i'm also talking about cult classics or more recent movies that are just better in a theater and with an audience. set piece heavy action movies. fantasy films with sweeping orchestral scores. sing alongs of movie musicals. a twilight marathon. idk the possibilities are endless
