Alan Wake, Control developer agrees €15m convertible loan from Tencent
  • It's more about the scripts being given a passover of approval from the CCP. Want your movie in China? Usually, there's some adaptation for the region, no big deal. However, I remember articles coming out about how the movie adaptation may not be accepted if the U.S. version doesn't fit the standard, meaning the U.S. version would have changes made at the suggestion of the CCP.

    Sorry for the NYT link, but it has some examples

  • It's true.
  • It is, certainly. I was coming at it from the perspective of if there weren't humans to count, we would still have 10 fingers. I.e., if there's no one around to count, do numbers still exist.

  • Suggestions for best course of action to convince parents that cutting the cord is going to save them quite a bit of money and they can still watch all their programs?
  • Is something like Plex an option? Get a hard drive, set up a request system (Ombi), then a little app on their phone can take requests and download the shows they feel like they're missing.

    Done right it's a one time set up, and an up front payment but over the course of a year I feel like you're saving the cost of either DirectTV or the streaming services.

    Also, you can tell them that DirecTV simply licenses shows the way streaming services do which is why they won't lose any content.

    DirecTV also may something they prefer simply for what they're used to. At 7pm the same show comes on every day. If that's a part of it, my previous suggestion of a server for media is able to put together TV channels using something like DizqueTV. I understand that it's a bit of effort, though.

  • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?
  • Until recently she has historically been anti-fracking. I think the commenter was implying that yes, she did just say that, in order to get funding and support from these companies.

    Note: Not saying I feel this way, just clarifying.

  • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?
  • What's more disappointing is that she had been historically anti-fracking. Tossed all of that out though, I suppose.

    On one hand, I get it. To ensure herself a smooth election, keep the funding from your enemy.

    On the other hand, fuck man I just want a President with policy that won't destroy the planet.

  • Self-confidence
  • Sometimes it's just not worth it. It's nice to be able to workshop your thoughts, and then you've work shopped it so much that it's just not worth posting - the user you're responding to probably won't care or will antagonize, sometimes your thoughts change as you're typing them, sometimes it just doesn't make sense and there's no point in re-writing something that ultimately contributes very little to anything except your own self-expression.
