    I think it was referring to a broader focus on streaming content, not exclusive to Pixar. That said though, I don't think just looking at a list of Disney+ entries from Wikipedia is a good indicator of the push for streaming content.

    It takes time to produce content from the conceptual stages to actual production. The film Turning Red, which came out in 2022, took four years to complete—and is considered one of the fastest films to be made at Pixar. To maintain a consistent release schedule, Pixar is always working on multiple projects at once. So any number of extra projects can really add up fast.

    The animation on Monsters at Work was outsourced, but Dug Days and Cars on the Road were made directly by Pixar. Those two were announced at the same investors' meeting in 2020, meaning there was almost certainly an overlap in the production time frames. This is on top of the films they were already working on. 2022 also had two feature-length films, so there was one more film than usual.

    This doesn't account for any projects that hadn't reached the public announcement stage yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Chapek was pushing for more spin-offs and content that was still in the conceptual stages. He also seemed to push for quick production times. Cars on the Road was noted to take 15 months to produce. In comparison, Monsters at Work was in development for at least three years. Interestingly, that one was first announced in 2017 back when Iger was still in charge.

    Just comparing the timelines, as well as several other controversial decisions by Chapek about Disney programming, quality generally seemed to be a secondary consideration for him.

    I agree it's offered way too much. All pieces of writing wisdom are subjective, and their application and utility is dependent on the situation.

    Personally I view "show don't tell" as meaning to avoid exposition dumps when you can. Full-fledged scenes are typically much more engaging than a multi-paragraph explanation of how some bit of bureaucracy works. On a more intimate level, why have a character internally monologue about how sad and upset they are, when you can show it through their actions?

    I also disagree that it's best applied only to realistic fiction. I've seen it incorporated well in stories for world-building, where they show concepts that are familiar to the characters first and then slowly reveal more details to readers as the story continues.

    The main example to come to mind is Unwind by Neal Schusterman. There's a scene where the protagonist needed to slip away while in a crowd and began clapping, which made everyone panic about "clappers" and run away. Eventually it was revealed through conversations amongst other characters and internal reflections that there was a terrorist group whose bodies were modified to be explosive, and would ignite explosions by clapping.

    That method of explaining the concept to the readers felt much more organic to me than simple exposition. There are some other examples from that same novel where it uses the scenes to explain a fundamental part of the world and its system without directly telling the reader how it works. Looking back, this is just one of many reasons that novel has stuck with me for over a decade now.

    I think that a bigger factor is how expensive it is to go to the movies these days. I have friends who are MAJOR movie fans, the types who seem to see every movie that's out (sometimes multiple times!). But they're limiting the movies they're seeing this summer because they just can't afford it. They have rent and other expenses to worry about, so they have to be picky about what they see in theaters.

    When it comes to TV shows, you're usually watching it through cable or a streaming service with other TV shows and movies. So if you're already paying for the service, it's easier to try out a totally new TV show versus spending ~$10-20 on a ticket for a single movie you may or may not like. On that note, movies inevitably end up on streaming services anyway, so there's even less incentive to see one in theaters outside of the theater experience.

    I was thinking as young as 2 or 3. Apples are pretty commonly used to teach kids about the letter A and the color red, after all. Apple slices and apple juice are also common snacks and drinks for young children. Kids are basically guaranteed to encounter that word outside the context of the tech giant even before they enroll in school.

    On the other hand, I expect kids to be more familiar with Amazon the company than the river or rainforest by their first year of school. The company definitely comes up a lot more often just from their parents talking about shopping on there, watching shows on Amazon Prime, etc.

    With the state of education in some parts of the US though... Would sadly not be surprised if some 10-year-olds thought the Amazon river and rainforest were named after the company.

    Speaking as a female writer, I've noticed a lot of writers seem to have a bit of a mental barrier writing the other gender. It's easier to write what's familiar, and one of the most basic facets is gender identity. I run a fan fiction Discord server, and I remember a younger member exclusively writing gender bent versions of the protagonist because she felt more comfortable with that. (Side-note: I figured out at least two friends were trans before they came out because they'd lean towards creating and role-playing characters of the other gender.)

    Even with male characters being so prevalent in media, it took a lot of conscious effort and work over years for me to feel good at creating male characters. I could easily come up with a dozen female characters easily, but when trying to create a male concept, I just hit a wall. It was frustrating and baffling because, like you said, they're just people. I had little problem writing existing male characters in fan fiction, either, which just added to my frustrations.

    Some people struggle with it more than others. The main way to overcome it is just experience and conscious effort to tackle it as a weakness. Unfortunately though, with how male-driven most media is, there's less incentive and opportunity for male writers to work on it.

    I think gender roles and expectations add a further layer of difficulty for male writers. Men are often told that they need to be tough, sometimes to the extent that showing any emotions makes them weak and un-manly. Women meanwhile are encouraged to embrace their emotions and think about others' comfort, sometimes above their own. Even in a non-toxic environment and household, shades of these expectations exist throughout society, so most people pick up on them to a subconscious degree.

    They both have toxic aspects, but women get a slight edge in that they're taught to think more socially than men are. So combine that with how prevalent men are in media, and women have an easier time relating to men, and thus an easier time creating well-written male characters. I have no proof to back that up like studies, but after a lot of thought it just makes sense to me.

    I'm admittedly a bit biased on the apple example, but I have to disagree with them changing the meaning of the word. A lot of brands use common words. There are Dove soaps and Dove chocolates. I don't confuse Subway sandwiches with subway stations. Staples stores can be a bit confusing when trying to find actual staples inside one though.

    The word and fruit "apple" is so incredibly common, that I don't think Apple the tech company diluted its meaning. I'd argue that Twitter and Amazon did worse in that regard since those words are much more rarely used and only in specific contexts. Young kids have likely never heard of the Amazon rainforest, but know about Amazon the shopping website. They would definitely know about apples the fruit though.

    After looking into the referendums myself, I think just saying "there were three referendums" is a massive disservice.

    The three referendums were in 2018, 2020, and 2021, with 2021 being the final one. In the 2018 and 2020 referendums, the votes rejecting it were 57% and 53% respectively, likely due to younger people (who seem to be the main proponents for independence based on the article) reaching voting age.

    Then in 2021? It skyrocketed to 96%.

    Some MAJOR important context from Wikipedia:

    As a result of the referendum taking place amid a boycott from the independence parties, the results were extremely lopsided in favor of status quo: voters overwhelmingly rejected independence, with 96% voting against independence and 4% in favour.[1] The referendum took place amid a boycott from the indigenous Kanak population, whose leaders had called for the vote to be postponed following a large-scale COVID-19 outbreak beginning in September 2021 which caused a total of 280 deaths, and highlighted that Kanak mourning rituals lasted up to a year.[2][3]

    For further context, the 2020 referendum had 154,918 votes, out of 180,799 registered voters, an 85% turnout. 2021, meanwhile, had 80,881 voters out of 184,364 registered voters. That's only 43.87% of the voters. Even 2018 had an 81% voter turnout.

    Looking at those numbers, I think the third referendum should have been postponed or rescheduled. More than half the voting population did not participate in the final referendum. Even with the mindset of "well they shouldn't have boycotted the vote if they wanted their opinions to matter", the difference in those numbers combined with the history of violent protests that led to this accord in the first place should have been viewed as a strong sign of potential unrest and violence in the future.

    They should have rescheduled the vote afterwards to make sure no one could argue against the results being unfair. As it stands, it feels pretty opportunist on France's part to me as an outsider, because the downward trend of the first two votes suggests the third could have dipped below 50%. I imagine that many people within New Caledonia feel similarly, and much more strongly than I do.

    Worth noting this article is from last week, not today. My mother took a friend to the hospital for a pre-surgery appointment last Wednesday and said it was pretty hectic since they couldn't access the electronic files. When the doctor sent her to get a scan, the technicians had to ask for her name, which type of scan she was there for, etc. because they couldn't check her file. I assume they typically ask that stuff anyway, but more to check details on the file are correct, rather than just point-blank not knowing anything.

    Things at least seemed to have settled a bit by her surgery on Tuesday, but restoration seems to still be an ongoing process. You can check this page on Ascension's website to see regional updates. Most of them are fully operational but can't fill prescriptions at Ascension retail pharmacies, and warn about potential delays due to the transition to manual records.

    Echoing everyone else here: hospitals really, really, REALLY need to put more effort into cyber security. It's one of the most genuinely critical pieces of infrastructure, and needs to be treated as such. This NEEDS to be priority number one right now for all hospitals. I wish that the corporate types who run hospital systems understood that investing in robust cyber security will save them money in the long run, but alas, they just don't get it until they're hit with ransomware attacks like this one.

    Player some more Coromon, and just started One Lonely Outpost, a space-themed farming sim. Hoping to use it to mark off the "exploration" if it has enough exploration involved! It's early access, and so far that apparently might mean I can't choose a name besides Riley? Like Coromon, I'll check it out for a couple hours before ticking it off.

    Yep. I think "vote for the lesser evil" has always been the general mindset for voting. Right now though, it's being hammered into people's heads more than ever because there are people refusing to vote for Biden solely because of his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Ignoring the fact that there's no reason to believe Trump would have a different stance once he's in office, just this one issue.

    If Republicans win the presidency this year, it really can mean the end of democracy in the United States. I haven't looked into Project 2025 myself because just the bare details I've heard, and my four years of increasing stress under the Trump administration, are chilling. Trump did enough damage to the country in four years when there wasn't an organized plan and coordination among the Republican Party. I don't WANT to look at it when it's an active possibility.

    The future is more uncertain than ever before, and unfortunately, the state of America has a major impact on the rest of the world.

    So right now, most people are focused on getting through this election and the chaos that will follow, because democracy itself is at stake. Hopefully we'll then be able to properly try Donald Trump in court without the looming election creating a deadline, so we remove the risk of him taking office ever again. And from there, hopefully the current Republican Party will fragment more without their main figurehead. With luck, at least two of the current Supreme Court Justices might also retire in the next four years so Biden or Harris can appoint replacements and help fix the currently imbalanced court.

    Just... We CAN'T think of a super long-term plan right now, because we have to get through this election cycle first.

    I remember years ago on a Pokémon forum of all places, someone posted a thread titled along the lines of "What's so wrong about cannibalism?" It wasn't a troll thread or someone trying to justify their desire to partake. It was posed as a serious philosophical question about what, exactly, makes eating human meat so taboo. Not even for survival purposes, like that plane crash with the soccer team or shipwrecks where survivors were on lifeboats with no land in sight, but just the act of eating human meat itself.

    It was a pretty fascinating discussion and it recently popped into my head for some reason. My conclusion at the time: there really isn't any ethical argument against it. Even now probably fifteen-plus years later I still can't think of one.

    The idea of eating human meat still deeply unsettles and repulses me, but so long as it's not from a murder or any sort of cruelty... Or creepy soliciting online for someone willing to die to engage in a cannibalism fantsy like that infamous Japanese man in France... I can't really call cannibalism itself immoral.

    Of course, as an apple who happily eats fellow apples, I might be a bit biased.

    In particular, the people in that cohort who read more fiction seemed to better empathize with others and understand the way they thought, PsyPost explains.

    This is something I've long believed about the power of fiction, and have previously spoken up about. I think it's easier for people to identify with a fictional character than direct accounts of actual events. When it comes to real people, there's just a sort of mental barrier: they're a stranger we will likely never meet, and their experiences aren't our own. That alone places a step of "distance" between us. It can also be much harder to read certain accounts because they're real, causing people to stop reading or just skim because it's too awful for us to really think about for too long. We want to put it out of our heads as quickly as possible. At the end of the day, those people tend to become just another statistic.

    With a fictional character though, readers are basically placing ourselves in their shoes. The fact that we know it's fictional and thus no one got hurt makes certain topics easier to stomach, such as abuse and horrific tragedy like war. Even with historical fiction about real events, we're still reading about the people involved as characters rather than people. Again, that makes it easier to digest everything without getting stuck on the horrors of it all.

    Written works also tend to show insight into a character's mind that you just don't get in other mediums. Even third-person perspectives tend to be written from a specific character's point of view, and show a glimpse at their thoughts even if it's just noting their surprise or how a particular scene is described. With that intimate glimpse we start to feel like we know them like a friend or real person, and they become more than just characters on a page.

    And because of that, fiction sticks with us. We get attached to fictional characters and mourn their suffering and despair, and can feel genuine elation on their behalf when things go right. I still feel sad over the deaths of some fictional characters, and found myself fearing for the lives of others in ongoing series. I felt relief when things finally go right, because I'm just as invested in their journey as they are.

    So to summarize: it makes perfect sense to me that reading fiction increases people's ability to empathize with others. Makes me even sadder about the decline in media literacy. Perhaps the world wouldn't be quite as hostile if more people read rather than just watched TV...

    I beat Hotel Dusk! I beat it yesterday technically (at like 5 am before going to sleep), but our wifi had been acting up so only reporting on it now. Pretty good game, I'd rate it an 8/10 I think.

    My overall thoughts (and tagging @Mendanbar since you said you were interested to hear my thoughts on it):

    Overall Thoughts on Hotel Dusk (Spoilers Included!) The game was pretty well-done overall! I gave some observations on the mechanics above, so I won't expand on it too much. I'm impressed at how they incorporated the unique features of the DS, particularly the ability to touch multiple parts of the screen at once, and closing the lid. I was thrown off by the scene with mouth-to-mouth requiring to close the DS instead of using the microphone though.

    I was impressed at how so much of the story tied together, it's a bit wild how many people at the hotel were tied to Nile in some way. Though I'm a bit disappointed at the ending leaving some loose threads. That's natural, but I had expected to see something from Iris in the epilogue. We didn't get much closure on that tape she had, like confirmation whether it was Dunning or someone else who listened to it, or what Dunning was supposed to do with that tape. At least she talked to Kevin, though I missed seeing her on the roof.

    I'm also just a bit disappointed that we never saw Bradley. I expected him to show up at the climax, not get a letter and a second-hand story about his motives and reasoning. The ending we got is probably the more realistic, but it's still just a tad disappointing. I feel bad for him with how his life got so horribly derailed by the case, and that he didn't even get a chance to talk to his friend and just got shot, never getting in-person closure. Seems like he got revenge at least.

    I think the biggest open ending for me though was the storyline with Summer and Helen about Alan Parker. Their whole storyline seemed disconnected from the rest of the game, which makes it stand out. It makes the lack of closure about Alan a bit disappointing. Makes me wonder if it was planned to be revisited in a later game before the studio shut down...

    Aside from all that, I still have some other questions: why was Mila in a coma for 10 years? Why didn't her father ever tell Dunning about her being in a coma? What was up with her father being listed as missing for 7 years by the LAPD, while still visiting her every month? Why did she only wake up after he died, and after Bradley visited? Was her father artificially inducing the coma somehow with poison or something?? Did Bradley somehow manage to "cure" her with an antidote?? (Also, Mila is mentally 9. I can't get over that.)

    And a final note, where was Jenny this whole time?? Why did she only return NOW? What happened during those ten years she was kidnapped?

    Overall, pretty good game. I'll have to play the sequel sometime in the future for sure, and I also have plans to play Another Code: Recollection eventually. Just a shame that the studio shut down. From what I can tell, there was likely supposed to be at least one more game to wrap up Kyle's story.

    Anyways, I guess I'll keep up column. Next up I think I'll try Coromon, which was recommended by someone on Tildes.

They held some sort of strange brown liquid that smelled rather sweet, and they were talking which was better while smiling and laughing. I woke up wanting to taste this strange 'Coca Cola' drink, but my attempts to mix a similar concoction ended with just rather filthy water..."

    ...I joke, but that would actually probably be a brilliant way to add real-world advertising compared to the usual ads. It isn't intrusive, and people would probably seek out the NPC just to hear the weird and funny descriptions of modern-day conveniences from an outsider perspective.

While encouraging the review bomb probably played a big role in his getting fired, he showed a serious lack of professional behavior. A community manager is one of the faces of a company, so the fact he didn't even bother to look at the actual complaints before insulting players for being lazy...

    It's just not a good image. Really can't get over that he didn't even look into the complaints. It feels like he just saw the headlines "Helldivers 2 players angry over needing PSN accounts" on his feed and stopped there without even opening any articles or discussions.

    From what I've heard, Spitz was already on shaky ground and wasn't too well liked due to being unprofessional. When this first went down, he initially responded... Pretty badly, as shown in this screenshot on reddit.

    Text for those who don't want to open reddit:

    It's not like this is the first or even the fourteenth mainstream game to require a third-party account that takes a couple minutes to create, but if it's a dealbreaker to have to take 120 seconds out of your day to enter an email and password and then forget about it, change your Steam review and make your displeasure known on a platform where it matters

    Yeah. Implying that most of the complaints are just due to people being lazy is pretty unprofessional on its own. Then there's the fact that he clearly made that statement without knowing anything about the situation, which is even worse. He backtracked pretty fast of course, but the fact he thought that was appropriate to say at all was pretty bad and unprofessional.
