You have some strangely in-depth shower thoughts.

But because of the huge amount of work to be done on the series, and the timeframe outlined by David Benioff, D.B Weiss, and Alexander Woo, 2027 is sounding like a safe bet for 3 Body Problem Season 2.

It makes you wonder why he needs the payout. I just listened to a podcast about Michael Jackson (Timesuck if you're curious, highly recommend it) and he talked about how Jackson was in massive debt by the end and was prepping for a tour to make money to pay back his debts right before he died. The host pointed out it doesn't matter how rich you are, you can always overspend.

Obviously, at billionaire level the debt isn't going to be with luxuries and goods. Could it be debt to other billionaires or countries made under the table? He's shown in recent years that he's not the business genius he tried to pretend he was, so it wouldn't be that far fetched.

I'm ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we'd be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it's a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

It's the enshitification taking hold, which is essentially Wall Street pressing their thumbs on creators to squeeze out every bit of money they can.

There are diamonds out there though, and not a surprise they always come from private or indie companies. These are the games I've gravitated to.

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it's for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Video game addiction ironically doesn't affect the teenager.

Are they though? I have about 75% of them so far and it's admittedly been a while since I played the first one, but most of them seem to have the same basic effects.

The keepsakes having art placeholders confuses me. Why didn't they just reuse the keepsake art from the first one?
