  • As someone that loves gambling and always wanted to go to Vegas, I’d rather just go somewhere local if I wanna go to a casino. Vegas is as expensive as any other destination vacation (if not more expensive) but that’s not why most people want to go there no matter how much they try to change their image. If you’re not someone that likes gambling it’s probably cheaper and more worthwhile to go to Disney Land. And if you’re someone that likes gambling it’s cheaper to go to literally any other casino in the country.


  • Nothing pisses me off more than shows, movies, or games that you literally cannot buy with legitimate means yet every single time someone tries to preserve it they get in trouble with whoever holds the rights. It’s like bro, I am more than willing to pay for it if you’d let me. The reason people are trying to preserve your show, movie, or video game is literally because you won’t let us give you money for it and even when you do let us pay for it you make it worse on purpose to make more money (I.e. ads and subscription tiers)










  • I’m mixed on this. While I love more money for Blender, I don’t like it when big companies invest a lot of money into open-source projects. They tend to treat the investment the same way stockholders treat corporations. At the same time Blender has become such a huge part of VFX in general that it’d be stupid not to invest in Blender. I’ve been using Blender for 10+ years and these days it’s just as robust, in some cases moreso, as most commercially available software.

    My point is this could be a very good thing for Blender or a bad thing for the average user. We’ll just have to wait and see and hope for the best.
