And that’s when everyone else goes… “to the moooooon!” 🐄🚀🌛

Thank you!

Immortals of Aveum launched in August 2023 amidst one of the busiest years of game releases in history, bookended by behemoths like Diablo 4, Starfield, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Ascendant Studios’ self-styled “Call of Duty with magic” experiment was compelling enough, and I personally think it deserved more attention, but it ultimately missed EA’s expectations by enough of a margin that about 45% of the studio’s workforce was laid off shortly after release.

Oof! That must be hard to stomach. Knowing it’s actually a quality product, but because the stars didn’t line up, you are let go…

You just don’t have the login to it.

Nice.

Well alright then.

Well, apparently they exist outside of Tik Tok then?

Anyway, when I duckduckgoed (?) ‘dabloons’, all the results were more or less:

TikTok Dabloons or TikTok Doubloons are a fictional currency and internet trend on TikTok which started circulating around the social platform in November 2022. Wikipedia

In what other context are ‘dabloons’ used to indicate something valuable?

Thank you!

I still had to google it. I don’t use Tik Tok, so I had no idea what dabloons were. 🤷

oh, could help me then? 😬

Oh! Oh! I know this one!

username checks out.

😎

That was really cool!

Thanks for sharing.

That’s just comparing two arbitrary numbers in a vacuum.

😂 Nice

I read the article and I have no idea what you are referring to. I think the author layed out their reasoning pretty…

Oh wait. You didn’t put the /s at the end, but it was implied?

Is it woosh over my head, or you not making sense? (no offense)

Thank you for including those links. I especially liked this part of the conclusion:

So the transformation from capitalism to socialism requires political action by the working class, in order that it can establish structures necessary for the transition to socialism. Just as the merchant class during feudalism could discern its long-range interests in the full realization of factory production, the working class must discern its interest in the full emancipatory implications of automated industry. And just as the merchant class became a revolutionary bourgeoisie, the working class must become a revolutionary class that acts politically to establish a new type of society on a foundation of automated industry.

If anyone is curious, it’s a short read and a good overview.

Lol. You can even see a little tail sticking out on the left. 😁

Anyway, congrats Japan! Hope the landing goes without a hitch.

OMG! Really excited for this!

I just looked it up, and they even have full audio in French, for anyone who grew up with Goldorak in the ‘80s! 😀 (italian too, for anyone interested).

Thank you sir/mam!
